Brushfire Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I usually pay $10 a month because I have expendable income, and I like helping our more unfortunate admins. They are poor >__< So nobody got on today. Makes me sad that everyone is playing Left4Dead, and I have to wait till the 15th to be able to purchase another copy, as I made the mistake of ordering it off of Amazon for the 360. I do really want those TF2 action figures though. They would look great next to my Beatmania girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hey, does anyone know if HLStatsX points go down over time? For whatever reason, my rank on the server is going up even when I'm not on... I was ranked 7 after the last time I played, and it has risen to 5 since then. Edit: I also added some new maps to the server. If you've played on the Zora's Domain server, these maps will seem very familiar. I also added the compressed version of arena_starship to the mirror... according to my logs, only the uncompressed version was there. As another side note, if you want to download maps from outside the game, all maps hosted on the mirror can be found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens is users are removed after a certain time of inactivity, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Since TF2 only asks for the compressed versions if they exist, I'm removing the uncompressed versions from the mirror to save disk space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 You most likely went up in rank because the people ahead of you lost points and went down past you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 You most likely went up in rank because the people ahead of you lost points and went down past you. Nah, I'm thinking it was a temporary glitch, as it's now been corrected and I'm back at 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sooooo, anybody gonna be playin today? Cause I will!! Also I am designing a patch for my "Nerd Jacket" and need a small bit of assistance. I have designed this crude caveman drawing of it, and I want to know if someone could expand on it and maybe have it not look terrible. Here is my prototype: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 So...update time. And somehow, for some reason, it's for the Engineer and Spy. http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=2096 Enjoy! Teleporters will be upgradeable to level 3. As the teleporter is upgraded, the cooldown will decrease.Dispensers will be upgradeable to level 3. They will heal faster and generate metal faster as they are upgraded. Spies will be able to recharge their cloaking ability by picking up ammo off of the ground. We've made a bunch of minor changes by adding particle systems and upgrading the HUD to show things like deaths by critical hits, players that are overhealed, and giving more information to medics when people are calling for them. Ah, after reading a bit more, they're NOT updating the classes (I mean, clearly they are, but it's not equatable to the Pyro update/Heavy update/etc). Just givin' 'em a little boost (for some reason, completely unsure of why). The next update, officially, is the Scout. Yay! [Edit:] I'm pretty sure that the fact that Spies can recharge there cloaks with ammo found on the ground is going to break the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will break crowded games, as everyone will more than likely be rushing for ammo, but in games of 3-3 or lower it will most definitely be broken.

Fantastic news. I wonder how that will work though, is it just ammo pickups or can you also recharge it by picking up fallen weapons? It would be more interesting if you could only recharge your cloak by picking up the metal/ammo from destroyed enemy Engie buildings, that would make it more of an incentive to successfully destroy buildings. That would also allow for more reasoning as to what it is that is recharging the cloak, you could say it's batteries or fuel from the Engie buildings (Would also explain why the Spy seems so much more flammable than everyone else).

Zephyr Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Whoah! that came out of the blue, sweet! Sadly I can't help but believe that this will encourage a ton more turtling, what with the upgradable dispenser, but the upgraded tele will be nice, however it's just another thing to waste metal on I suppose. Will you have to upgrade both halves I wonder? I also wonder if the spy will be able to get ammo for cloak while he's cloaked, cuz if he can then you'll be able to pretty much make it anywhere without worrying about running out of cloak. It'll be really nice though that you won't need to wait in between ventures to the other teams side, as when you're on your side you can just recharge with ammo easily, also I assume you'll be able to use enemy dispensers to recharge cloak as well... how devious. Interesting that it isn't a class update either, so at least there won't be a huge spy/engie rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLU on GoldRush part 3, last point for example... I really hate it when we have one TP and it takes f'ing forever to run back to the cart. As for the cloak recharge... I'd like to know whether it works that way while you're disguised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeting_Gman Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Just tried to join the server and received this error: Host_Error: Server is enforcing file consistency for particles/water.pcf The map is Goldrush Did a search, but only returned results from Russian websites. Oh, I see why, it's most likely due to Steams update today. No worries. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 To top it off Steam is down so they may be trying to fix this. Sigh, there goes my day. May as well clean up the Nerd Room. EDIR: Sratch that! Looks like they are back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushfire Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I just got off the line with Powerlord. He says that the new update requires about an hour to finish so the OCR server will be invisible for a while. Standby for further developments as they come.

Powerlord Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 To be more accurate, GameServers is saying it may take up to an hour to install. Incidentally, during my own test server's install, the main wait time was waiting for Valve's updates server to respond, and once it responded, the install was done in a few minutes. I really wish there was a way to see what exactly their server was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindStrike Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Lovely... by that time, I'll have to go to bed. ... nah, I'll stick around for a few rounds, so I won't be completely gone. Demoman stickies... broken apart by bullets... one of the greatest updates yet. Thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
