chivesontheweb Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Been playing a bit recently. Although I suck again and I still have a crappy computer it feels good to be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I might play a little, I suck, and don't expect to get any better, but that's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeroZohar Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 On a related note, It is the product of hours of jolly laughing. Also some bodyshoots. Brushfire even makes an appearance, though he's as yet uncredited. I notice about halfway through you start sporting the mask. I would too with that mouth. Oi.

Do I need to change the server's whitelist back to stock to block what could possibly be considered a cheat, or is it just a Replay thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorblind mode. Does the same thing with mad milk. It's in the default options, I believe, though it may have been moved to the advanced options.

Sir Prize Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Speaking of videos. Once I got my hands on the Disciplinary Action... I had a plan. A dumb plan, but a plan nonetheless. And this was it: Thanks to everyone who participated in this, including our own Jolly Sniper-then-Engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Required updates for Team Fortress 2 are now available. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive the updates. The specific changes include:- Fixed a case where CritBoost effects were being removed from players being healed. - Fixed a problem with Arena mode first blood CritBoost not removing itself at the correct time. - Fixed a bug where Demomen kept their leftover charge amount when self-aborting charges (you'll still keep leftovers when stopped by enemy airblasts) - Fixed the problem that was causing Strange Demoman shields to not accumulate kills. - Fixed a bug where the Reserve Shooter would minicrit against swimming targets. - Tomislav spin-up reduction has been reduced from 75% to %40 (so it now spins-up slower) - Made the Jumper's Jeepcap and Pocket Medic craft-able. - Updated the bot navigation files for several maps. - Added an entry for "Call Vote" to the Options->Keyboard Settings, so you can bind a key to it. - Updated the gamehaptics file: - Added/Refined recoil/draw/crit/reload forces for all of the new weapons in the Uber Update. - Refined all Rocket Launcher Forces recoil forces to feel more true to recoil animation. - Tuned Brass Beast recoil to have less of an impact on your aiming reticle. Valve's updating later than usual tonight. Servers are updating as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 There are some new texture files in todays update that have some interesting filenames: 94.88% downloading ./event/orangebox/tf/materials/backpack/player/items/crafting/crate_summer.vmt 94.88% downloading ./event/orangebox/tf/materials/backpack/player/items/crafting/crate_summer_large.vmt 94.89% downloading ./event/orangebox/tf/materials/models/weapons/c_items/c_proto_backpack_blue.vmt 94.89% downloading ./event/orangebox/tf/materials/models/weapons/c_items/c_proto_backpack_red.vmt No idea what the summer crate and backpacks are for. In theory, they could be related to the Steam Summer Sale, which is likely to start Thursday or this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Oh goody, MORE CRATES. I started junking them instantly ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Oh goody, MORE CRATES.I started junking them instantly ages ago. Well, Winter Crates were crates that had a much higher chance then normal to drop hats... and they gave everyone a free holiday crate key. However, I wouldn't put it past Valve to have a sale for new players to buy starter packs for every class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of course happened over a period of time where the only computer I had access to couldn't run TF2 beyond 10 FPS, so I missed out on the whole thing. </bitter> There are already starter weapon packs in the Mann Co. store btw. 2-3 weapons and a hat for each class.

I'm aware of that, which is why I wouldn't put it past Valve to have a sale on them. I'm not sure where you got the impression that I didn't know about them. Personally, I think they're a waste, as the weapons in them tend to be the achievement unlocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 To be fair, it can take a long time for some classes to garner enough Achievements to reach the milestones. I think I only got the third one for Medic after several months of active playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Completely changing the subject, I was shown this comic recently, which I feel is a perfectly accurate descriptor of the average pubber quality these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 TF2 feels really fresh with all the new folks. Nobody spychecks! Playing Spy on OCR (or any all-talk/dead-talk server) is really much harder, because as soon as people get stabbed they yell out "SPY IS ME" and then they spec the spy and give the play by play. So annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So annoying. While dead, you can only spec your own teammates or fixed cameras (usually over control points)... unless you switch to Spectator. On an unrelated point, now that RED is on the QuickPlay system, it has a lot of players during the daytime hours in which the server used to be dead. BLU is unaffected, as it's not listed on QuickPlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
