I can't even encode Replays to videos right now, TF2 crashes every time I try. Which really sucks.

A shame, too, because I have a 7-second clip where I backstab two Scouts that I thought was pretty good.

2 scouts of a 4 person team. :P

Also, I crafted a bunch of hats together yesterday... and I got one of the new ones (Western Wear engy hat #453).

I'm thinking about trading it for metal before the value of it goes down.

On another subject, I'm going to be testing a new version of Mapchooser Extended that uses a different menu style. I don't know how it works in TF2, but in HL2DM, you have to hit Esc to access this menu, so it no longer blocks weapon switches.

HALLELUIAH if it works right.

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 another case where the $ignorez material flag could be used as a cheat

Team Fortress 2

- Extended the Saxxy contest deadline to 11:59:59 PM GMT, Friday, May 20th, 2011

- Fixed the third-person camera options dialog not displaying correctly in the Replay performance editor

- Fixed a rare case where users running Service Pack 3 on Windows 7 64-bit with graphics driver version 12.42 saw a graphical glitch on the main menu Options button

- Updated the Three-Rune Blade, Hero's Tail, and Sign of the Wolf's School items so they can be crafted and traded

Nothing more fun than trying to launch the game to test a plugin change and being greeted by a game update, particularly since I'd JUST updated the Event server and have to update it again.

You know its funny when I was just reading this thread, close it, see that I have finished downloading an update, look around haplessly for the patch notes, and then come here again to see if Powerlord has posted them yet. This happened in a 30 second time period.

What I'm trying to say is a.) I come to an OCR thread to find official TF2 patch notes and b.) Damn Powerlord you fast as shit.

I had just uploaded Mapchooser Extended 1.6b1 to OCR Event 2 (aka Powerlord's Plugin Test Lab) and launched the game to test it.

Except I had to update my client, and presumably the server, since they made changes to the game item data. They haven't actually announced it on the server mailing list yet.

Edit: Server is operating at a higher than normal CPU load. I've delayed bringing RED back up until it goes down... hopefully in a few minutes.

Updated BLU and RED with the new version of Mapchooser Extended and flipped it to use the "Press Escape first" style vote menu.

I'm not sure I like it as well, but it says "Escape menu pending" or something like that in bright red letters in the upper-left corner.

I had to revert back to the old-style vote menu. Bark couldn't open it at all. Other people couldn't figure out how to open it either; I don't know if they had the same issue as Bark or just didn't realize it required you to hit Esc.

Luckily, it's a cvar in the plugin, so I don't need to do any extra coding.

Also, my Western Wear has been traded to Sir Prize for a Villain's Veil... somehow he got two of the things already!

For my part, I've completed my undergraduate studies (YAY) but my laptop is still infirm. A new one is definitely in the cards, I just need to get off my lazy ass and research/purchase it.

How is this news?

Also, Sombrero should enjoy

Why, yes, in fact, I do. Immensely. Rather fortunate I'm not making an ass of myself, for the most part.

Not that anyone cares, I'm sure, but TF2's blue-screening my (Win7) computer. So far it's the only game to do so, but I've yet to test others since it started happening. I will be doing so later with Portal 2 and Mass Effect (since I have them installed). I have ascertained it's not an overheating video card, but that doesn't rule out the card failing in some other way. I'm currently running an extended S.M.A.R.T. test on my HDD so see if maybe that's the culprit.

Point is: No TF2 for me for a while probably. D: And I had this cool replay of Uncle Bonehead failing to taunt kill me I was gonna post. :cry:

Me: "So hey, TF2, the item server was down for me all of last night, which meant that I couldn't swap out my loadout for something more useful. Wouldn't it be great if I logged in today and found out you'd dropped a hat for me?"

TF2: "You know what, Top Gun, that sounds fair. Here's a hat drop!"

Me: "Awesome! What did you give me?"

TF2: "A Prancer's Pride! You know, that awesome reindeer antler for the Pyro that you already...have..."

Me: "..."

So...yeah. I'll probably offer to trade it to my brother, but if he doesn't want it, feel free to hit me up for it.

Valve be trollin'. Again.

For my part I have two Samur-Eyes, plus that godforsaken Dr. Seuss hat.

Given how rare hat drops are to begin with, it would be kind of nice if they were tweaked to take into account the hats you already own. But like you said, Valve loev trollin'.

(And I actually kind of like the Dr. Seuss hat.)

Stupid computer issues update: Did a lot of troubleshooting with regard to video card, HDD, and other things. TF2 was still BSODing my computer. Updated my Nvidia drivers, and so far, no more BSODs, but I'm too tired to keep playing right now to really marathon test it.

If this is the case, it must have been some bug that snuck in during the update where they closed the Saxxys, because it had never BSOD'd before then.

I need sleep. :sleepdepriv:
