I said I might make a spy guide, I don't really know what to include, but as I get ideas I'll add them onto here.
So far I plan on discussing settings, fps, weapons, loadouts, trickstabbing...
The majority of this guide will be written when the funserver is on breakfloor. :3
I'm using the spoiler and nsfw thing to shorten it up. Is there any way to get it to retract back into a more compact mode?
Start:
I recommend getting Game Booster because it closes unnecessary programs and options that are enabled. When you quit tf2 it reverts back to normal.

I added some notes in addition to what was already there.
Note: Don't just put it in, you might have to configure it a bit to work for your system. NSFW: Click to View
I would like to go into detail about interps but I haven't been able to find something that explains them in depth.

// FPS cap
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The primary benefit of an FPS cap is to make the FPS more stable, other than
// that, it doesn't do a lot. A moderate, consistent framerate is much more
// desirable than a variable but sometimes high framerate. A common
// misconception is that if any more frames are generated than your monitor can
// display, they are useless. This is wrong -- frames are used for much more
// than mere display, and affect the way the game feels well past your
// refresh rate.
//
// This FPS cap should *always* be set to a value higher than `cl_cmdrate' in
// any case, or the discrepancy between clientside frame generation and frames
// to be sent to the server will no doubt cause you many a headache, especially
// when it comes down to hit registration. Other than that, I recommend
// for everyone to use the value `132' (2*66), as long as you can generally
// keep that value stable without regular drops.

Once again, thank you to Chris for making maxframes and highframes.
Next up is my spy.cfg:
It may/may not mess up your other classes.
I added notes for clarification.

I use Gmang Hud, you can go to the top for the link.
I have some additions to my hud that I got from the thread Heads up Gentlemen by 2C3C. (Link at the top)
I got hit markers, and a smaller disguise outline, if you wish to get them as well just follow the instructions provided on that thread.
The advantage to having a smaller disguise outline is that a giant spy doesn't pop up on your screen every time you disguise. It can get extremely annoying and distracting so I highly recommend getting this.
The special thing about the hit markers is that they stay up on the screen for 0.95 seconds which is the cool down for the ambassador. This allows you to spam minimum cool down head shots if your aim is good enough.
