Valve updated TF2 earlier today and kind of FORGOT to mention it on the server mailing list.

Anyway, here are the notes:

Updates to Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)

- Fixed an engine crash caused by too many precached models in some community maps.

Day of Defeat: Source

- Fixed an exploit where clients could prevent weapons from recoiling properly.

Team Fortress 2

- Added several crafting recipes for new weapons.

- Added a ton of items to the store.

- Added a ton of items to the random drop list.

- The following hats are now paintable or have had their paintability improved: Pyromancer's Mask, Detective Noir, Madame Dixie, Buckaroos Hat, German Gonzila, Flipped Trilby, Coupe D'isaster

- Fixed a spelling error on the "Pyromancer's Mask".

Corrected the name of the "Claidheamh Mòr" to the joy of our Celtic players.

- Made "Le Party Phantom" a misc slot item.

- Fixed a client crash caused by custom stats panels.

- Fixed a bug where some new items weren't being dropped correctly.

- Removed displaying the top 10 players in the leaderboard if you have never won a duel.

- Updated the localization files.

- Fixed a regression in Tournament Mode item whitelists.

----- Also added "mp_tournament_whitelist", a convar that allows servers to specify a whitelist file to use.

So... hopefully the first thing mentioned fixes cp_steel.

This also means we have crafting recipes for most (all?) of the new weapons.

Before I forget, here are the new crafting recipes:

Buffalo Steak Sandvich = Sandvich + Crit-a-Cola

Boston Basher = Tribalman's Shiv + Sandman

Claidheamh Mòr = Chargin' Targe + Homewrecker

Candy Cane = Kritzkrieg + Pain Train

Back Scratcher = Axtinguisher + Scotman's Skullcutter

Jag = Scrap Metal + Scrap Metal + Southern Hospitality

Fists of Steel = Scrap Metal + Scrap Metal + Gloves of Running Urgently

I have an extra Skullcutter, Crit-a-Cola, or Chargin' Targe if someone needs any of them for crafting.

Team Fortress 2

- The Blighted Beak is now a misc slot item.

- The Buffalo Steak Sandvich's speed boost no longer stacks with other speed boosts.

- The Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper now have no max health penalty, and have damage vulnerabilities instead.

- Duel fixes:

---- Duels can no longer be initiated when the round is not fully running.

---- If you challenge someone that has already challenged you, the duel is automatically accepted.

---- Fixed an issue where a dueling mini-game item was marked in-use even though the duel was rejected.

---- Duels are now refunded if a server plugin forces a participant to switch teams.

- Loading screen:

---- Only shows the duel leaderboard if you've been dueling, or if your friends have been dueling.

---- Shows your personal stats whenever it's not showing the duel leaderboard.

- Custom hitsounds:

---- Must now be specified by replacing the 'tf/sound/ui/hitsound.wav' file.

---- Can now be used under sv_pure 1/2.

- Improved performance on Degroot Keep.

- The "Fabricate Class Headgear" recipe no longer has a chance of creating all-class hats.

- Fixed spectator mode sometimes ending up in a state where you were half-embedded in your spectator target.

- Fixed a bug in the Kritzkrieg's animations.

- Fixed round restarts not cleaning up weapons correctly for a frame (fixes a variety of weapon attribute issues, such as players having less health or less ammo than they should)

- Fixed painting issues in several of the Australian Christmas hats.

- The Sniper scope is now visible when viewing First Person Spectator mode on a zoomed Sniper.

- Medieval Mode's auto-roleplay now ignores text beginning with '!' or '/' (so SourceMod commands aren't modified)

NOTE: Valve hasn't pushed this quite yet. We will be updating RED and BLU when it is.

OH HEY, I have some cool news. After not getting a normal hat drop since April 20, 2010 (the day the new drop system went into effect; I got a Gentlemen's Gatsby that evening), I finally got a random drop hat.

It was one of Pyro's new hats, the Madame Dixie.

OH, OH, but it gets better! A few hours later, I got a SECOND random hat drop. This time, I got a Towering. Pillar. Of Hats.

I can only assume the second hat was either Valve fixing a bug in the hat drop rate (seriously, 8 months and 2 days is a frickin' long time) or an effect of the Double Drop Rate week.

P.S. If someone needs a Fists of Steel or Jag, I have extras that I got from crates.

Can someone admin-y come on and force RED to go to Steel (while nobody is on) so we can see if it's fixed yet? I miss it.

I'll take a look at it sometime today.

Edit: cp_steel appears to be working again.

I found five christmas crates over the past day

I used my key to open one and it was the terrible heavy toupee

beforehand I decided to try my luck and fuse my fedora and my brigade hat and got the soldier's stash

I hate this game

TF2 just got what appears to be a client-only update.

From the looks of it, the Crusader's Crossbow model got updated, some bot AI files got updated, some translation files got updated, and there is likely a new Mann Co. Store bundle for all the non-set weapons from the Australian Christmas update (Fists of Steel, Back Scratcher, Candy Cane, Boston Basher, Claidheamh Môr)

So here's a fun TF2 story. I was happy to see that everyone's present was a freeibe key, because I have no intention of ever buying one of the damn things. I decide to use it on my Winter Crate for the hell of it, instead of one I have lying around with a few hat possibilities, and I wind up with A Rather Festive Tree. Cool stuff. I then wind up getting another Winter Crate, which I trade to my brother. Now my brother just started playing TF2 this week, as I finally nagged him into buying the Orange Box during a recent sale. So he uses his key, opens up the crate...and gets an Unusual Flipped Trilby with the Vivid Plasma effect. Best of all, the bastard didn't even know what was significant about it until I gasped over it, and he doesn't even care all that much in the long run. So yeah, that was my night.

(Though on the plus side, I did have a Whiskered Gentleman drop for me today, so it wound up being a pretty good day as a whole.)

Yeah it can still do upwards of 270 damage with a full targe, and without like 130 or someshit.

From the tf2 wiki:

Damage on first use (Explosion)

* Base: 185 (180 to 190 damage)

* Mini-Crit: 250

* Critical Hit: >450 (will kill any target directly hit, even fully overhealed Heavies)

That... *sucks*. Some of us have been opening tons of crates and never getting unusuals, and someone new opens one with a free key and gets one? >:/

I can't WAIT to see Brushfire's reaction to this.

er... but congrats on the Festive Tree and Whiskered Gentlemen.
