OCR TF2: Stab stab stab!

[ParanoidDrone]

Given that the Lugermorph is among the items, they're probably all reskins. I guess a brand new method of cloaking was too much to ask for. Sadface.

Trying to decide if it's worth buying/preordering.

I already preordered it. If it helps, you can preorder it through Steam for 10% off ($4.49), or through Telltale's store ($4.95) with 25% off of any other non-sale items in your cart. Telltale has already confirmed that people buying it through their store will get the TF2 in-game items (no lobbying for them to do it like last time).

Also, the 5 in-game items are won by beating said players at Poker.

Tycho has the watch, Max has the Lugermorph and badge, Heavy has the Minigun, and Strong Bad has the glasses.

[ParanoidDrone]

I'm only really interested in the watch, lol. For obvious reasons. Like I said, trying to decide.

A required update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive the update. The specific changes include:

- Fixed a bug that prevented Mac players from getting the Halloween achievements.

- Fixed a bug that prevented Mac players from receiving the in-game notifications for items, duels, etc.

- Fixed Engineers being able to build under the final capture point in Mann Manor.

- Added the Dealer's Visor for players who pre-purchase Poker Night from Telltale Games.

---- See http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4608&p=1 for full details.

All servers restarted, updating Highlander for future use.

Edit: If it wasn't clear, no one with an updated client can join the servers until they're updated.

Edit: I've recompiled the Mapchooser Extended plugin so that cp_manor_event and cp_mountainlab show up as non-custom maps.

RED will be switching back over to a normal server momentarily, but with a new startup map: pl_badwater.

Does this mean that the older new maps like Upward also show as non-custom?

Those were fixed months ago.

Incoming news from the TF2 blog:

This coming Tuesday November 9th, 2010 the TF2 item system will be down for maintenance starting at 1pm PST and ending at approximately 2:30PST. We are significantly increasing the amount of database horsepower behind TF2 to accommodate all the recent additions to the system. During this maintenance the following TF2 features will be unavailable:

* Backpacks

* Crafting

* Trading

* The MannCo store

* Loadouts

The game itself will continue to work. All players will have their default appearance and weapons.

To keep abreast of the status of this and future TF2 item maintenance, subscribe to this thread in the TF2 forum.

Note to developers using the TF2 Item Web API: As part of this maintenance all item IDs will change to eliminate negative IDs. We will be shifting all item IDs forward by 2100000. Depending on what data you store in your database, you may need to do the same.

OH NO!! NOW I WILL HAVE TO PLAY VANILLA AND CAN'T USE MY GAMEBREAKING WEAPONS!!

Dag yo.

[Bahamut]

We can have a server event, vanilla mode!

[Brushfire]

We should roll everything back to Day 1 of Release for the event.

[Powerlord]

Brushfire: I forget, when did the Highlander server need to be back up by?

Not that I couldn't just put it back up now, the Private Halloween server is dead, seeing as how everyone who wanted to do Halloween stuff has already done it.

18 Nov if I am not mistaken, though OCAD and the Immaculate Breasts are out of the running. So it is all you guys.

The Halloween event was lame, and also people are gaga over name tags.

Also, Gimme Yo Crates.

[ParanoidDrone]

Strange, I thought Upward et al. were still marked custom as recently as the Halloween Event. Meh. And I still only have the Soldier and Pyro masks. It's mostly the Sackston Hale achievement I'm concerned about though.

IIRC the Highlander stuff moves forward this Monday.

Also NO MY SAHARAN SPY SET. ;_; (Wait, it's only for like an hour and a half and I'll be in class then anyway.)

I got that achievement. You need to make money hand over fist like me to buy not real items to trade for other not real items.

Or you could just play on manor event servers a lot and start trading duplicate masks for other masks.

[Powerlord]

I updated MetaMod: Source and SourceMod to their latest versions (1.8.4 and 1.3.6 respectively, from 1.8.3 and 1.3.4) this morning. This shouldn't cause any problems, but you never know...

Gimme masks before the event is over and I give you crates

The amount of none tradable stuff you have is ridiculous.

I has extra masks... and we never did complete that GRU trade did we? Steam went down on us last time, as I recall... unless you managed to get it elsewhere that is.

[Necro]

A TF2 auction site just went up and I thought I would share the information. It looks better than the SPUF thread about trading but I haven't had a chance to try it out.

Maybe I'm just paranoid (spot the pun), but I'm not a fan of trading with some random Joe that I found on a website.

Contradiction spotted instead -- I have not met you in person and I believe that we have traded tf2 stuff before.

Still have no gru and need like 7 masks total :/
