SO I'm now downloading a patch with a size of - I kid you not - 3.5GB!! and the changes are:

-Fixed a crash on startup for Mac clients
-Fixed class names/descriptions not showing up on the class menu
-Fixed a bug that allowed the Crit-a-Cola to be used repeatedly with no cooldown
-Fixed the character loadout panel not animating at the correct rate
-Fixed the Sticky Jumper and the Stickybomb Launcher using the wrong skins
-Updated the Grimm Hatte and the Pyromancer's Mask with changes from the community creators
-Added more instructions to the Engineer training regarding metal resources
-Added new styles to the Troublemaker's Tossle Cap

Really?! Downloading WoW requires 3.2GB!!! This is just silly...

That's not the size that patch was, it was more like... 90 MB I think (I cleared it out). The problem is if you let a couple of patches back up, or something goes weird in the patching process, it wants to redownload... well, I don't think it's the whole thing, but a huge chunk of it.

Is anyone else's TF2 getting glitchy?

I'm not talking about crashes. An hour ago I somehow opened the MOTD, but it got stuck on the screen. I can aim and shot but I can't see anything unless I hold tab. No other key works. I can't press Escape to access the menu. I can't click on any button to close MOTD.

Then a moment ago I opened up the text chat but I can't type anything. There's no cursor in the typing box. I can still shoot and swap weapons but I can't aim. I can't enter any text, can't press Escape either.

Both of those times forced me to restart TF2. So annoying.

They have been 100 MB. If you are having 1 to 4 GB updates every time, I would suggest doing a clean install of the game. It is one thing for it to happen once in a while, but repeatilly downloading far more then it should is a sign that something is likely off.

Instead of doing a reinstall, and if you happen to have disk space, do a "Backup Game Files", "Delete Local Content", and then restore TF2 using "Backup and Restore Steam Games".

SourceMod is back up and running. The built-in voting is disabled since SourceMod's voting is superior.

I edited the full map list so that it lists all of the default maps then all of the custom maps rather than having them all interspersed.

Admins should also have access to fun commands (even though they did before). To clarify fun commands are located in the "Player Commands" menu. You can also use the console commands. sm_slay, sm_slap, sm_beacon, etc. For targeting you can either do a player's name (SourceMod will recognize partial names so sm_slay war will kill wartime assuming no one else has war in their name) or you can use @me, @blue, @red, @dead, @alive and @all to target groups. Obviously you shouldn't be doing any of this during a real game anyway, but you ought to know how to use it.

Also, would you guys prefer to stick with the new SILK codec (better quality) or go back to the old codec (allows for mic spam) until the HLDJ guys can get their stuff working somehow?

Yeah, even if it's a regular doing it, mic spam (playing songs or whatever) is annoying like 90% of the time. I have no qualms waiting for HLDJ to get updated.

The other night someone was playing some inoffensive techno song but then some annoying repetitive vocals came in and I was like "okay dude you need to stop" but I didn't realize it was my medic who was being generally awesome and ubering me a bunch and I instantly felt like a dick :(

But yeah, full length songs suck. I would like to communicate with my teammates plz.

Just because he got good scores doesn't mean it was a bot server :(

I recently topped most of my stats as Engy by joining some pub server and they just could not kill me or my buildings on that ledge in Hoodoo. Kind of frustrating because I don't like Engy that much...

Some other gaffer was there too. I think it was Nikolai or Bacon :U

Always have to ask. I remember once I was a spy on a bot server and got like 40 backstabs thinking I was on top of the world then I found out it was a bot server. I was so sad I reset my stats. ;(

Badwater is a good map to be offensive heavy on. Or to be 5 offensive heavies on.

Also, happy birthday mario.

How do you reset your stats? I was on a trade server and now my Spy points are 93 with 47 backstabs. >_>

Edit: Scratch that, is 79 points and 37 backstabs.

Just remember that, though I'm not certain, I think resetting stats may also reset your achievements, in case you're someone who cares about things like the pyro 1,000,000 damage achievement.

The best micspam I came across was on a Saxton Hale server and this guy was playing old classics, stuff from the 30s-50s. Seemed to go perfectly with TF2.
