chivesontheweb Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 TF2 update. Looks like they added a way to switch between different loadouts faster, something I've wanted for quite a while. If it works like I hope it works going from shotgun to flaregun and back again will be much easier now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 every time i email valve about something they change it in the very next update and never reply to me that it was because of me! (deadtalk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Agent Man Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Seems the same thing happens to me on occasion, via the Report a Bug function. Nobody else notices the things I notice, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trianine Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just a heads up, cause the mods haven't done so already. Apparently, there is an issue with gameservers, and the server has been hit with some serious lag spikes/connection drops. It was brought down by a mapswitch as well, so... expect trouble, and let us know if you find that you don't have any. EDIT: SERVER SEEMS FINE NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 EDIT: By the way, I really like the Daily Awards on the the HLStatsX website. Do we control these or are they all HLStatsX, because if we do I'd love to see some more fun ones added. We probably don't but I thought I'd ask. We have a limited amount of control, but I don't recall if I wrote down the password somewhere to edit it (Bahamut has it too, of course). I ended up fixing the teleporter and Sandman daily awards a while back, as they were broken (Valve renamed the Sandman in kill events from bat_wood to sandman, or something like that).

It was brought down by a mapswitch as well, so... expect trouble, and let us know if you find that you don't have any. Unfortunately, as for the server, I'm not sure what's wrong with it, and I'm also not feeling that well. I think FireSlash is going to open a ticket with GameServers to take a look at it. I glanced at the Sourcemod forums, but didn't see any reports of crashing because of it. A standard check I make when the server breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we could add our own original awards? Every day it depresses me that there is no award for reflect kills of any sort, which are the kills I most strive for. If we can add our own I'd love to see either a rocket reflect kill award or a cumulative reflect kill award, with a creative name of course. I dunno what the limits are for adding new daily awards (if it is, in fact, possible) but I'm sure we could add some fun ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiyobi Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Good time to mention: last call for server achievement ideas. Inspired by what just happened to me about 20 minutes ago: I can't help but think I already mentioned this... though? Did you get all the other achievements everyone posted thus far? It's definitely worth the decrease in visuals. I used to run the game on high visual settings and got a decent fps but having 60 fps consistently is too good to pass up. You wanna know how big of a jump my performance was? I went from an average of about 25FPS at 640x480 to an average of 50-60FPS at 1280x800. I'm like "WHAT HOLY CRAP" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Since the Control Point prop isn't rendered from beneath, they could probably have some success hiding somewhere high up. Then there's the obvious -- hide with the real control point. I saw this done with incredible success in the hour or so I've played. The hiding high up, I mean.

atmuh Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 so i was hoping the update fixed fake crits and wafflefire since it seemed to have things that would fix those neither are fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireSlash Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you want to suggest actual achievement ideas that we can create using the new plugin (when it's finished)... Weapons Names Backstabs (this can also kills that weren't backstabs) headshots (Also can track bodyshots) Dominations Revenge Kills Steam ID Current Map Class so things like team switch and admin slay can't be tracked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 So because my GFX card on my desktop is having issues (causing my computer to freeze), I tried playing TF2 on my laptop. Apparently when I turn my settings all the way down it runs very very well! It's a little weird though; the framerate was so smooth that it looking like heavies were running really fast/covering a lot of distance. I guess I'm just used to something a little slower?

Rambo Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Despite their claims, this: Fixed fire overlay drawing on hats in DX80 isn't true. They also didn't fix the crit particle effect lingering after some rounds of humiliation. What's this about kiyobi's framerate more than doulbling? In a higher res??

Kiyobi Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Chives posted a link to a high FPS config some few pages back. It works very well. VERY. Well. http://www.m0re.nocrits.com/index.php?site=files&file=8 Just be prepared for N64 vision, and eyeless dudes. @Fireslash: Dangit, that would've been a pretty sweet achievement, too. Also, obligatory "Killed <admin>" and "Killed <OCR Judge, officials, etc>" achievements go here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Agent Man Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm still hoping for them to show jarate-inflicted deaths with yellow shading instead of the crit red shading. I'd just like to know the distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just like to know the distinction. I like this idea. I assume a crit on the victim takes priority over Jarate, though so if it's a crit death it's red. Speaking of RED...

In a higher res?? yeah pretty much everything they claimed to fix they didnt and thats kinda like that config i sent you that other time rambo im not sure how similar/different they are though and if we really are doing this achievement thing pro troll: dominate an enemy sniper where all kills were bodyshots (rifle) cant think of a name for this one: dom miyako sorry love doesnt conquer all: dom rambo and bonzai on the same map take that tampon back: get a poof flare kill and im pretty sure theres a console event for dead ringer activated so paranoiddrone in training: feign death 10 times in 1 life cant think of a name for this: extinguish 100 teammates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 and im pretty sure theres a console event for dead ringer activated soparanoiddrone in training: feign death 10 times in 1 life I think I would have gotten that one earlier today. I feigned death a lot during offense on gravel pit. I didn't die for real until we were working on point C. Oh, plr_pipeline, too. I didn't realize how useful that is on the cart, since you keep regenning. Also, hardest roll ever on Dustbowl earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 and im pretty sure theres a console event for dead ringer activated soparanoiddrone in training: feign death 10 times in 1 life I think I love you. Even though I don't use the Dead Ringer much outside of Pipeline. (Damn image limit...) Miracle: Dominate Miyako, or whatever his name is today. Right Behind You: Backstab someone 30 seconds after they use the "Spy!" voice command. Irony: Dominate <member> as a <class he/she is known for>. I'm Still Not On Your Side: Get Ubered by an enemy Medic. Oops, I Did It Again: Dominate someone twice in the same round. Backstab THIS: Interrupt a backstab chain with the Razorback. Merde...: As a Spy, die to 5 different people without scoring any points in between. At the risk of sounding like a pompous ass, in the event that an achievement involves me, I'd prefer it to be Spy related. For obvious reasons.
