XeroZohar Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Dammit Valve fix your shit. This is getting silly.Isn't that one of the holy commandments of mapmaking anyway? "Thou shalt put func_respawnroomvisualizers over all entrances to a spawn room." Good grief.
Powerlord Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Just got this: We're going to have a mandatory TF2 update this afternoon. This is just a heads-up that it's coming.
Powerlord Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Required updates for Team Fortress 2 are now available. The specific changes include:- Updated the Pilotka so it can be crafted, traded, and gift-wrapped - Updated the Stahlhelm so it can be crafted, traded, and gift-wrapped - Updated the physics for the Sticky Jumper projectiles so they behave like regular sticky bombs BLU will auto-update shortly. RED... well, the event version of RED doesn't auto-update, so I need to manually update it when BLU is done.
ParanoidDrone Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Launchpad's now at version A8. Unfortunately schoolwork's coming in fast, so I don't know when I'd be able to organize that small event where some of us nitpick the map without combat to distract us.
Dr. Suredeath Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 After 200 hours of Xenoblade, I think I'm jumping back in TF2 after a month, I think, it appears I didn't missed anything other than bug fixes then?
Top Gun Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Bugfixes, a couple of new promo hats, the usual.
D-Lux Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 CaptainYahoo's Prop Hunt Event: The Full Server Edition This Saturday 9/24/11 at 8PM EST red.ocrtf2.com BE THERE or not. I'm a forum post, not a cop.
Powerlord Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Speaking of Prop Hunt, I've added some new Prop Hunt maps to the server and added another that was present but not in the mapcycle. The new maps are: ph_cchotel_b2 (new) ph_kakariko_b1 (new) ph_harvest_event_a1 (added to mapcycle) I wanted to add one more, but I couldn't locate a Prop Hunt config for it... ph_manor_a1. I also altered where the download mirror points for the Prop Hunt server, so let me know if you see any problems.
Powerlord Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Ooh, cool update to TF2 Beta today: Team Fortress 2 Beta- Synced with all changes and fixes from the official release - Added support for multiple Misc slot items being equipped at the same time - Added support for character loadout presets 2 Misc slot items? YES! Saved Loadout presets? YES!
Lyrai Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 So, they introduced Series 29 crates, with Strange Black Box, Strange Razorback,and Strange Axetinguishers into the game. As someone with no money to open crates due to family events, if anyone has any of those (Axetinguisher especially), I'd be eternally grateful if you would let me trade it off you
ParanoidDrone Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Ooh, cool update to TF2 Beta today:2 Misc slot items? YES! Saved Loadout presets? YES! Also have you updated Launchpad on the server yet? Do I need to keep asking every time I make a new version?
Powerlord Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Also have you updated Launchpad on the server yet? Do I need to keep asking every time I make a new version? Yes I have, and yes you do because sometimes I forget.
ParanoidDrone Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 According to the TF2 Wiki there are several undocumented weapon changes in the Beta now. Such as the Enforcer's downside being increased to 1 extra second taken to cloak, instead of 0.5. Which still means diddly to the Dead Ringer. Ugh.
42 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Here's the full TF2 Beta changes (aside from the 2 Misc. Item slots and loadout presets) if anyone's interested: Updated the Foster's Facade and Noh Mercy to use the misc slot. The class select screen now displays currently equipped loadout. The Reserve Shooter can now be equipped by the Pyro and Soldier. The Tomislav now reduces the wearer's health by 50. Metal consumption while using the Widowmaker was reduced to 30 from 60. The cloak delay when using the Enforcer was increased to 1 second from 0.5 seconds. The cloak blink time when using the Saharan Spy item set was increased to 1 second from 0.5 seconds. The Claidheamh Mòr charge extension is increased to 1 second up from 0.5 seconds. The Scottish Resistance's stickybomb arming delay was increased to 1 second from 0.8 seconds. The Grenade Launcher and Stickybomb Launcher now use the in-game slot notation on the loadout screen. Added support for the Sixense/Razer Hydra motion controller. The public IP is now displayed in the console when creating a local server, and the output for the exec command has been altered. Lots of interesting things happening here, but the most important thing here is the Tomislav nerf... *hugs Tomislav and cries in the corner* Edit: fix'd formatting.
Mrs. Bark Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 A quick note to some of last night's Prop Hunters: I have a shaved undercut, and have since 2000. My hair is long on top and 1/16" underneath, when freshly trimmed. Bark's comments about going to shave my head are just that - he's just trimming my undercut for me. He isn't pinning me to the ground and forcibly shaving me. So for those of you who expressed concern or dismay, it's ok. LOL.
Cecilff2 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I like this reserve shooter change. I may switch back from my flaregun.
Lyrai Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I'd absolutely love to try the reserve shooter change if the Beta Item Server would ever come online.
Top Gun Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 The Grenade Launcher and Stickybomb Launcher now use the in-game slot notation on the loadout screen. Freaking finally. Edit: Oh, and here's a thing. Anyone playing when I was last night probably remembers me complaining about some wicked loss going on that was muffing up the audio chat, and a few people giving me handy console flags to take a look at it. I thought to enable net_graph while hopping between a few other servers earlier tonight, including one in Europe, and as it turns out...the only time my loss indicator moved above zero was on BLU, where it constantly stayed between 10 and 20 or even higher. Whatever weirdness is going on, it looks like it's only happening here.
Powerlord Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 If I don't play in the event on Saturday, I apologize in advance. I've been making what have been (I think) great strides in getting my TF2 Voting extension completed. A lot of it is just interfaces and infrastructure, but this time I'm keeping it a lot closer to the SourceMod vote system's code, so that it's a lot harder for me to screw up.
Powerlord Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Reminder: CaptainYahoo's Prop Hunt Event: The Full Server Edition is today at 8:00pm EDT / 5:00pm PDT / Midnight Sunday UTC on red.ocrtf2.com. Also, a lot of people have been complaining about lag on the server. I'm sure exactly what's causing it. It doesn't help that I'm personally not seeing it. I'm guessing it involves connections between networks on the Internet, and it appears that IJ's server has a similar problem on the other side of the US. Either that or it really is a client problem, but I have no idea what settings would cause/fix it.
Top Gun Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I wasn't seeing any lag on IJ's server myself last night (besides the usual 100+ ping sort), even though I'm on the other side of the country from him. What's stranger, the brutal net loss I was experiencing on BLU/RED over the past couple of days disappeared as suddenly as it arrived. Who knows what's going on at this point.
ParanoidDrone Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 For my part, I had been experiencing connection issues with TF2 in general, then the internet went out at my place for a couple of days, then when it came back everything was hunky dory. Perhaps the tubes are clogged?
Kiyobi Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 I want to see the Widowmaker buff passed. In its current state it's an absolutely terrible weapon =/ I also want to see the Reserve Shooter change pass, but I got this feeling it's gonna be overpowered... I've also gained a newfound love for the Detonator.
Sir Prize Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 For anyone that DIDN'T attend Yahoo's Prop Hunt event really missed out. Some... rather fun situations occurred. One of which being... this:
