Engineer:

Pomson 6000 (Primary?)

Doesn't require ammo.

Penetrating projectile.

Unreflectable.

On hit: Drains 10% Ubercharge, 20% Cloak

On hit: Drains 10% Ubercharge, 20% Cloak

This thing is probably going to be annoying to aim with. Heavy risk...but the priiiize. The courtyard of 2fort is going to become so much more annoying with a good engie.

That wrench seems pretty nice for turtlers. I'm more of a gunslinger man myself save for a few maps.

Someone else had already pointed this out on reddit, but

So how is Foundry available on the server? Unless I totally misread your earlier post.

I think he means once the update drops, Foundry will be the top of the maplist and will be the first one the server loads because Valve hates powerlord.

My thought would be to set permissions on mapcycle.txt to stop it from being changed, so vavle can't write to it.

Last one, actually.

However, the server now starts on a random map, and it's in the map list, so it will be immediately nominateable.

Also, I've extended the time for cp_foundry to 120 minutes (if it's named cp_foundry.bsp that is).

Update time!

Required updates are now available for Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. The specific changes include:

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

- Fixed a bug which caused Windows Aero Extensions video option to always be enabled, regardless of setting. Disabling this can improve compatibility with third-party programs and overlays, but may also affect performance.

- Fixed SourceTV showing player counts for the game server instead of the number of clients connected to the SourceTV server

Team Fortress 2

- Australian Christmas has begun!

- Added community-contributed winter event items

- Added new Grordbort Pyro and Engineer item sets

- Added the "Valve Gift Grab 2011 - TF2" achievement

- Added Naughty and Nice winter keys to the Mann Co. store

- Added a new Valve-authored control point map: Foundry

- added 12 achievements for Foundry

- added achievement reward milestone reward for Foundry achievement

- Added UGC Highlander medals

- Relaxed some restrictions on what misc items can be equipped simultaneously

- Additional improvements for client stability

- Updated the localization files

Day of Defeat: Source

- Added the "Valve Gift Grab 2011 - DoD:S" achievement

- Updated the localization files

Counter-Strike: Source

- Added the "Valve Gift Grab 2011 - CS:S" achievement

- Added rate limiting for connections and added the following ConVars to support that:

- sv_max_connects_sec

- sv_max_connects_window

- sv_max_connects_sec_global

- Dramatically improved the dynamic model loading system's memory usage, performance, and stability

- Reduced memory usage on systems running Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7

- Improved alt-tab handling under Windows Vista and Windows 7

- Fixed a client crash during demo playback

- Updated the localization files

BLU is currently verifying the updated prior to restarting (this is part of the auto-update sequence to prevent a bad update from crashing the server).

Edit: I need to force a restart on BLU, as Valve either deleted or removed the file the updater uses to check versions.

Edit 2: Yeah, that file apparently causes other problems when it's missing. Server is now crashing on startup, even with addons disabled. Harassing Valve on the mailing list now as well as trying a -verify_all.

Oh a somewhat related topic, does anyone have a backpack expander I could trade some metal for? Assuming those are tradable of course.

They are tradeable.

And thank god someone replied so I can say this in a separate post.

Valve's Linux server update deleted an important server file and the server will be down until they ship another update that adds the updated version of said file. Right now, the server just crashes on startup, even with addons disabled.

I believe that qualifies as a whoops.

Are the new weapons and hats and stuff christmas only like the Halloween stuff?

No. The only thing Winter-Only (so far) is the Noisemaker.

Thoughts:

Pyro Moonman set:

Phloginstigator is semi-broken. While you have no airblast, the Mmmph is nuts. You tap right-click after doing a little over 200 points of damage to get an instant full health and 15 seconds of crit. You taunt when you hit the button, so you're standing still for 3-4 seconds. There's currently two bugs that let you skip the taunt, so you basically have a pocket Kritz+Big Health Kit on demand. Can we say those bugs here? Are we allowed?

Manmelter is pretty damned slow firing. Alt-Fire extinguishes teammates in melee range, and it's rate of fire is I think slower than a flare gun. Another bug with it where if you switch away while it's projectile is in the air, it'll think it's a Flare Gun projectile.

Third Degree adds a guitar riff to the axe taunt. Haven't been able to chop with it but hell yeah, guitar riff.

Haven't been able to grab the engy stuff.

Heavy Gloves can be used currently to stunlock someone. Expect this to be fixed or messed with.

Spy Knife is interesting. It's not really broken - not being able to stab for 15 seconds is kind of mean - but it goes a decent way in giving the Spy something other to do than curl up and die when a Pyro is anywhere within 10 miles of him.

Wrap Assassin is Sandman 2.0, except with a stun instead of bleed and you can't melee for crap. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.

Naughty Crates contain Festive versions of: Scattergun, Rocket Launcher, Flamethrower, Sticky Launcher, Minigun, Medigun, Wrench, Sniper Rifle, Knife. Small chance of getting a Strange Festive of any of those.

Nice Crates contain the community items only - Wrap Assassin, Spy-Cicle, Holiday Punch, and the 13 Xmas Miscs/Hats.

This means the Engy & Pyro items are ONLY avaiable as Token Craft or Store until next week or so.

There is also a Festive Bat in the game files.

Anyway, as soon as I get a Spysicle, it's going in my DR/Enforcer set.

Also, Familiar Fez can be worn with face items again. \o/

Edit:

Required TF2 update in a few minutes.

We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for the update are below.

Team Fortress 2

- Fixed the Frontier Justice getting infinite crits

- Fixed a problem that would allow Pyro Mmmph to activate in the air without taunting

- Fixed Manmelter getting crits from Mmmph

- Fixed an exploit with The Eureka Effect and The Phlogistinator where the effects could activate without taunting in high-lag situations

- Fixed the Brown Bomber not showing up on the Demoman

- Fixed client HUD crash

- Fixed colors on Christmas lights for the Blue team Scout weapons

- Fixed a bug that would cause minicrits when switching weapons rapidly

- Steam Workshop zip file size limit has been increased from 4 MB to 10 MB

BLU *should* auto-update, but we'll see.

If anyone gets one, I'll trade you a Festive Minigun for it.

Also, tried the Eureka Effect and the Engy Lasergun.

Eureka Effect is pretty decent. It really shines on maps with many spawn points, as you can immediately hop back and get the teleporter set up much faster than if you carried it all. Or when the spawn can't be reached from anywhere but spawn (IE, Gorge)

Lasergun is nasty. You can tell if you've hit a Spy or Medic from a distinct power-down sound. For some strange reason I'm finding people who assumed it fired like a shotgun. It doesn't, it fires pretty much exactly like the Cow Mangler. You need to aim with it.

So the projectiles don't multihit like the Bison? I was worried they would and end up with stacked Uber/cloak debuffs.

Also I totally want that icicle.
