Powerlord Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 New changes in BETA today: Gameplay: Pyro Hooked up new Detonator sounds General: Fixed server crash when trying to load koth_badlands Fixed a few cases where the client couldn’t connect to Steam Fixed importing of custom sprays Replay: UI now saves the "last directory" used for exporting a movie Added a specific error message when trying to upload a movie to YouTube that cannot be found Fixed a bug where replay recording would stop after feigning death Voting: Players now receive a notification when a vote is called (“cl_vote_ui_show_notification 0” will disable this) The vote caller’s name is now displayed Fixed a case where vote keys were interfering with taking a kill-cam screenshot Improvements to server-side vote creation (nextlevel choices mode) Unfortunately, the change I didn't list is that the Linux BETA server is stuck is an endless crash on start loop.

XeroZohar Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Huh. So valve's selling some hats where all the proceeds go to Japan relief funds. This may be the first instance where I actually buy a hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Sorry, I was on another server when the update was pushed out, but it looks like BLU was already restarted. I forced a restart on RED as well. TF2 BETA was also updated, but hasn't fixed our crashing server issue. As for the hats, they are: The "Humanitarian's Hachimaki" ($7.99), the "Benefactor's Kanmuri" ($19.99) and the most prestigious "Magnanimous Monarch" ($99.99). All 3 hats are all-class.

Top Gun Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I already gave something to the Red Cross, but this is a great thing for Valve to do. Those crazy hat obsessives will be doing something truly good for once. (Though if my next paycheck comes through before the items are pulled, I might go for at least the cheapest one. $8 isn't much to ask.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Duper Sombrero Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm looking forward to seeing the total results they get from these hats. It'll be interesting to see, especially how hat-driven some players have become. Personally, I actually might get the $8 one. I can afford it, and it goes to a good cause.

Powerlord Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 In addition to the hats, there are two noisemakers priced at $1.49 and $0.49. Also, there is a bundle with each of the lower two hats, plus one each of the noise makers for $29.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyobi Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 If I could, I would buy that Hachimaki charity hat. I could finally help out the cause AND the bandana looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I made a minor change to Mapchooser Extended, but I haven't thoroughly tested it. Let me know if you see issues with countdown timers not ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 So this wound up being a three-hat day, awesomely enough. I decided to go ahead and buy that Hachimaki, because it's only $8 and goes for an awesome cause. Since this was my first store purchase, I got a Mann Co. hat thrown in for free. And just for the hell of it, I tossed in an extra buck for a Turbine stamp, since I've had many a good time there, so I got the World Traveler's Hat too. I'm likin' it.

Powerlord Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 New Event Scheduled: Medieval Mayhem When: Next Friday, April 1, 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT / 1am UTC Where: RED (red.ocrtf2.com) What: Normal maps in Medieval Mode Who: You Why: This is more or less a "for shits and giggles" night. Basically, I want to see how normal maps play with Medieval mode enabled. I thought next Friday was the perfect day to schedule that. How: TF2 has a tf_medieval cvar. When it's enabled, the next time maps change, Medieval mode takes effect. I believe that this also enables the text replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Gun Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 XD Also...I just had a Bloke's Bucket Hat drop tonight. Just a week after those two other hat drops. Is this a sign, game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 XDAlso...I just had a Bloke's Bucket Hat drop tonight. Just a week after those two other hat drops. Is this a sign, game? I'm beginning to wonder if this week isn't an unannounced double drop rate week. It seems like I've gotten items for longer than I normally would, plus I got two crates this week rather than my usual 1. Also, FireSlash, if you're reading this, could you PLEASE look into why the server suddenly has tons of lag spikes? I'm going to make a wild guess and say it's because the CPU load level 15 minute average is nearly 5 on a 4 core machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I may change some map configuration stuff around to be based on number of rounds rather than using timelimit on every map. However, it'd require creating (or linking) a config file for every non-arena map in the game, as Valve only supports config files for arena mode and per-map.
