for the benefit of others - if you play on an older server, you will have to extract cgame_mp_x86.dll from this new etpro in order to make killshots work from demos again. i had to figure this out after a bit of head-scratching (it worked fine, i played a while on a random server, it no longer worked, etc)
another little tidbit - with com_maxfps 100 and b_popuptime 0, it seems to take ~15ms for kills to show in the popup area. lower fps and/or higher popup time would require longer. of course "you killed etplayer" will show up at lower settings, down to 1 in fact. but if you want the screenshot to show your kill in the popup area as well as the main area, set b_killshot_delay to at least 15 (or higher, depending). also, it seems to take ~150ms for ET to begin playing the death animation. so if you want your shots to actually show the other guy "dying", you should consider that as well.
those numbers are rough estimates.
