Team Fortress 2 - Heavy Update, New Maps, New Mode are all live now!

Geese_Pants · August 15, 2009, 6:14am

Today’s update…

Fixed “r_rootlod” being marked as a cheat, which prevented it from being changed and caused a significant performance loss for some GPUs

Changed “The Big Hurt” Scout achievement to be “Stun 2 Medics that are ready to deploy an UberCharge.”

Fixed Announcer overtime bug on KOTH servers using mp_timelimit

Due to many requests, added server ConVar “tf_overtime_nag”. When set to 1, it keeps the broken announcer behavior

Fixed tournament stopwatch not displaying the time in the HUD

Fixed a bug with cloak meter regen and drain rates

Fixed Spies not being able to go invis while reloading

Fixed pipebombs sticking to saw blades

Fixed weapons not being hidden properly during loser state anims

Fixed a case where radius damage didn’t reduce damage to self

Fixes Demomen taking too much damage from their pipebombs

Fixed a case where items would never show up in the backpack, even though they were available to equip

Fixed a case where items weren’t being validated properly in class loadout slots

Community requests

Removed centerprint texts for TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND CTF game mode

Changed TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND capture reward from 30 kills to 1 capture

The overtime chant is now an option…haha.

How did the update make the fan better? Unless my eyes deceive me, it looks like shit now. Granted, i haven’t used it since update

Magnetro · August 15, 2009, 7:21am

Unrelated note. Anyone get their medal yet?

BIGWORM · August 15, 2009, 7:25am

Yep. Update today opened up that misc spot.

Fuzzy_Snugs · August 15, 2009, 7:33am

Geez, and that was the one thing that made me feel like a good Pyro compared to you. :wonder:

System_1 · August 15, 2009, 7:51am

i spent $20 on tf2 to only find out that my computer can’t run it.

Hara · August 15, 2009, 9:40am

Same thing happened to me, back in the day. Does your PC have a PCI/PCI-e port?

just_prime · August 15, 2009, 9:42am

Believe me, thats still $20 well spent.

JAMMAR · August 15, 2009, 10:21am

Don’t worry, last time I checked everyone is still tied for best Pyro.

Magnetro · August 15, 2009, 1:46pm

H
Haha, Crap showed me that link, too. I cant believe you have so many more Pyro events than I do.

I thought bloodsire was #1?

Fuzzy_Snugs · August 15, 2009, 5:42pm

I play on the Badwater server way to much. That is mostly the reason why I have 2400 Axtinguisher kills. :wonder:

Se7in · August 15, 2009, 6:25pm

That fucking guy.

ChopperMan · August 16, 2009, 4:05pm

what servers do you guys play on?

I just started up again and trying to branch out from the old servers in my favorites

but having a hard time finding good ones

Geese_Pants · August 17, 2009, 2:58am

Let’s play some TF2…server info in my sig!
Bring your Sunday best.

sonicspear64 · August 17, 2009, 6:11am

Shit that’s 3 weeks in a row. :sad:

Se7in · August 17, 2009, 7:27pm

I used to frequent the Lotusclan and Doorman Is God servers, but now all I just surf between Vanilla 24-man servers.

Lately though, I’ve been interested in playing competitive 6-on-6 TF2, but I don’t have a team to run scrims with.

Anyone know a forum or site that could help me find a clan/team?

Geese_Pants · August 18, 2009, 4:33am

Yay…another TF2 update!

Team Fortress 2

Updated PL_Hoodoo. Changes from community mapmaker Tim Johnson:

“Added a balcony at 2-1 that I’ve rotated and cleaned up so it’s a much better point, it attracts less sentry spam but is still holdable. 2-2 has a bit more breathing room and the one way route between BLU/RED spawn in stage 3 has gone and in its place some stairs up to the second level accessible from BLU’s side.”

Added “tf_ctf_bonus_time” ConVar to set the CritBoost bonus time for capturing the intelligence (0 to disable it)

Added “tf_arena_first_blood” ConVar to toggle the first blood feature in Arena mode (0 to disable it)

Added missing snowpuff particles for DX8 players

Fixed rocket jumping

Fixed sticky bomb attachment to props. They will now only ignore the saws in sawmill

Fixed Scouts going into reference pose in double jumps

Fixed the Ubersaw not displaying team colors

Fixed Spies disguised as RED Scouts not cloaking properly

Removed two more text messages for TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND CTF game mode

No wonder Bigworm was cloaking funny…

Gasp · August 18, 2009, 4:45am

hoodoo still sucks

LaserRain · August 20, 2009, 10:25am

I frequent the No Heroes servers. They are very good and they have regular competitions for their vips.
