--------------------------

Double post because why would they wait until right now to release a new update:
We've released a mandatory update for TF2. The notes for the update are below. The new version is 1886191.-Eric
--------------------------
- Fixed the Linux dedicated server failing to run on older Linux versions
- Fixed the HUD 3D Character causing other HUD items to sometimes disappear
- Fixed a client HUD crash when Spies disguise as class that has a non-active weapon like the Chargin' Targe
- Fixed an outdated tip for the Quick-Fix
- Fixed a shadow bug for the Warrior's Spirit
-
Server is back online as of...sometime earlier today I guess.
It seems like custom HUDs will crash your client though, so I'd uninstall those or look for updates to them.
-
Linux based TF2 servers appear to be crashing on start up after taking this latest update. If your server is updated, please expect this scenario to occur.
We will provide additional details here once they become available.
Looks like the server will be down for tonight. Sorry folks, Christmas is cancelled. Hopefully it'll be up by tomorrow, many apologies.

-Eric
--------------------------
- Added Chemistry Sets as a bonus drop. Chemistry Sets are recipe items that have varying inputs and varying outputs. You can complete a Chemistry Set by fulfilling all of its inputs, which will then give you the items it has listed in its outputs.
- The in-game player status panel has been updated to show an animated image of your character with their current loadout
- Can be disabled in Advanced Options
- Added Romevision sharing: anyone playing Mann vs. Machine on the same server with an owner of the Hardy Laurel can now opt-in to Romevision
- Manage your Romevision preference in the Advanced Options dialog
- Fixed a bug that would prevent Jarate and Mad Milk from applying to all targets within range
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Marked For Death icon to stay in the world after the owning player died
- Fixed a bug that would allow Spies to exploit the Kunai's higher overheal limit
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Medigun's "Share Power Ups" upgrade from working correctly in Mann vs. Machine mode
- Fixed a bug that would cause the last few characters of text to be lost when copying text from input fields
- Fixed a client sv_cheats exploit related to the commentary dialog
- Fixed a problem that would cause the shotgun shell model to appear incorrectly third-person when using the Family Business
- Improved bot pathing behavior around ramps
- Bots can now reflect energy-based projectiles
- Fixed incorrect alpha in the backpack images for the Valley Forge and the Founding Father
- The Foppish Physician and the Distinguished Rogue are now paintable and are team-colored by default

- Updated the localization files
Server updating now?
I'm looking into it.
-
Brandon, that is the greatest thing I've ever seen. You're doing God's work, man.
Any plans for a feature film/documentary?

We've released a mandatory update for TF2. The notes for the update are below. The new version is 1875461.

--------------------------
- Added Total War: Rome II "Romevision" promo for Mann vs. Machine mode
- Updated the localization files
Server updated and restarted.
Lyrai, that is an awesome list, and that is an awesome thing you did. Many thanks, I'll take a look at compiling a custom night setlist from that.
-
Extend the "played recently" flag to last for several hours - days, even - and see if that works.
This is not a bad idea, if maybe slightly exaggerated. The "recent maps played" list is populated by the last x maps, not by time, but I see what you're saying. Setting it to 15-20 as opposed to 6(?) could really change things up.
Also, I totally agree with the idea of removing the backwards, rainy, snowy, upside down, inside out variations of existing maps. It's just redundant, unnecessary, and redundant.
On a side note, I'd like to see somewhat regular (weekly?) event nights at some point. I've tossed around the idea of just using admin override to make a set maplist of a bunch of customs, and just ignoring the rtv and mapvotes.
-
Server Admins:
Bahamut
Bark
Gamemaster
Regular Admins:
Brushfire
ParanoidDrone
phill
Plus some others.
'Spose I should step in and clear this up.
Current admin list is as follows (in alphabetical order):
Bahamut
Bark
Brushfire
Darkesword
FrostBite
Gamemaster
IJ
kamikaze
Jaswald
ParanoidDrone
phill
SuperDSombrero
There are two 'tiers' of admin (Bahamut, Bark, Bark, Bark, Gamemaster, and Sombrero have ftp and rcon access), but for most intents and purposes, any of 'em will do.
two people were 1v1ing a little while ago, they got mad at me for being in the server while they were fighting and threatened to ban meWhen i questioned how they were going to do that, one of them said "he's an admin"
Now, I'm pretty sure there's no admin for the OCR server named "Snowball"
he then a few moments later apologized to me for being a dick and wanted to trade me, tried to say 6 of my weapons was worth a sollemn vow and a couple crates. I'm no expert at the TF2 economy, but that just sounds like a bad deal all the way around.
If there are any other specific weapons you're after, let us know. I've got quite a few spares myself, and if I don't, I'm sure someone does. Hats and cosmetics will usually run you more, but most people on this server would be willing to hand out a few duplicates at little or no cost.

I'd like to trade cards, if others are willing. I have an extra demoman, engineer, scout, and spy. I need a soldier, heavy, medic, and sniper.
Gotta collect them collectables!

Just be aware... the client update isn't out yet.
I updated, then popped on the server to make sure it works. It seems to work okay, but I'll check again when the client updates.
I'm also not certain the update actually went through.
I assure you, I'm fully competent. I just don't know what I'm doing.

Hm? It's set up so that arena maps pop up in the rotation just like normal ones.
Oh, woops. Yeah, my mistake. I was looking at the wrong file. Was looking at mapcycle.txt instead of maplist-voting.txt.
Should we take the arena maps off that list, though? It seems that only a few people are ever really interested in playing arena, and it tends to slow down the server a bit. They'd still be up for nomination, but they wouldn't pop up without being called for.
-
Is it possible we could delete the arena maps off the server? Arena is where fun goes to die in TF2.
Maybe send a group of goons to the house of anyone who tries to vote for it anyway. You know, to make it long-lasting.
Arena maps are NOT on the standard mapcycle. Every time you see an arena map pop up on the vote, it means that someone specifically nominated it.
Every time we play on an arena map, it means a majority of everyone voted for it.
There are... ways... to make arena fun.I always like reading your plugins, Powerlord. Not everyone properly writes things out clearly and neatly, and the cvars are sometimes just mystery settings. Proper documentation is always appreciated.
As for the plugin itself, I haven't decided what I think about that.

SteamPipe is here! Hooray/Damnit
Well, this is ultimately a good thing. But the conversion process might be...rough. I'm hoping I'll have the server working fine 'n' dandy by primetime tomorrow.

Improved performance and stability for the Linux version
Server updated and restarted. Currently assessing damage to addons and plugins.
He's dead, Jim.
No wait just kidding, everything seems to be working fine.

How much is the strange festive Sandvich? I'd be all over that if I've got the dosh for it.
EDIT: Thanks a million! Looks like I'll be playing heavy a bit more often now.
-
I can't tell if Valve is just trolling us like usual, or elaborately double-trolling us with an April 1st misdirection disguised as a joke.
Or, they could even be triple-juking us by pretending it's a double-juke, then making it a troll anyway right from the start.

Steam Trade Offers! Looks like you can send a pre-made trade offer to a friend, and they can choose to accept, decline, or counter-offer.
You don't have to be online or anything for it to work, even.
Hopefully this expands in the future to be allowed public, and to be able to browse open standing offers. Then I wouldn't have to add people to my friends list and actually talk to them. Talking to people is weird.
