GOD WHY

not more items, stop it, seriously. theyre all stupid. patch bugs and optimize the game, make some maps and work on the demo player

Why you remove me? Kuro is sad... :'(

It'll probably be another update that breaks everything again. I've been using the vanilla hud since they keep fucking things up.

 

[(._.)]

Game is getting more bloated. Nothing new at all. At least I'll get some new soldier weapons to fuck around with for a few rounds before going back to a mixture of vanilla/war load out. So many useless weapons in this game its crazy.

 

[Drkirby]

Nah, I don't think so. The Hatless update was a fairly big engine update, I think this will mostly be content.

I wonder how they are feeling right now that most of the Community is hating the attributes given to the weapon in the Beta, they are clearly what is going to be given to all these new weapons. Odd that the Dumpster Solider is getting all the Pocket Medic stuff. And obviously this update will be when Meat the Medic comes out, there is a pretty big focus on the class, with the Medic getting a new set of items, the Solider a Medic dependent set, and the Heavy a Medic Misc.


To be honest, other then a few things, most of the items have a place. I think the Dalokohs Bar and Rift items are the only things that are really useless.

Also, with all these new items inbound, it is a good thing I made space in my backpack.

Healing demo = teamwork

Like a good whore, I go from person to person. I can't help that Wartime's timing was perfect tonight whenever my Uber was ready!

 

[Forkball]

Yeah, probably 95% of the updates are actually bug fixes or engine tweaks and not new items. I don't get why people complain about Valve not trying to improve performance or fix bugs when they do it all the time. They even patch fixes for DirectX 8 users. DIRECTX 8.

I think the problem is most of the time it is the new items that introduce more bugs. Hatless update's Engine changes caused a heap of problems though, but the game runs much smoother now.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I played for a while Demo in another server, either I'm improving or the ones I played against were horrible players/bots.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

STS Strings referencing new items have been removed from the STS.
All threads mentioning the strings on SPUF are being deleted
The entire German translation server is locked down

So we really weren't suppose to know about these.


Edit: Okay I found backups, so all the images are now saved to hard disk

You should probably stop hyping it up because last time the only item that actually made it in the game was the Teddy.

this time we know it's happening.

Valve leaked the list of items to be translated.

 

[Chinner]

I wonder if it was an intentional leak.

 

[me Jojo]

Valve leaked the list of items to be translated.

And we all know how much Valve enjoys trolling the community.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I wonder if it was an intentional leak.

Yea, someone else mentioned that. They think maybe Valve wanted to see if they could translate stuff early, if it would get leaked.

 

[BloodySinner]

I like how I barely touch the game, but when I do, I come across more crates than actual weapons.

 

[DogWelder]

WHY IS THERE NO GRANARY IN THE NOMINATE LIST?! YEEF???

 

[Nikolai13]

WHY IS THERE NO GRANARY IN THE NOMINATE LIST?! YEEF???

I could have sworn that I nominated this last night

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

WHY IS THERE NO GRANARY IN THE NOMINATE LIST?! YEEF???

It is. You just have to keep pressing 9 until you see it.

 

[Yeef]

Maps are listed in alphabetical order by file name in two sets.
[All Default maps]
[All custom maps]

cp_granary is definitely there. It came up in the vote a couple of times last night.

 

[Deleted member 74300]

That M. Bison hat...I must have it.

It's gonna be a hard choice to choose between that and my Snes Starfox General Pepper Hat (Head Honcho painted Lime) if it gets in the game.

I've heard through the pipeline Meet the Medic is almost 100% complete.

So Meet The Medic to release with this new Medic polycount set? That would make sense I guess.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

If I had to guess, this Medic set is going to be
- Beta Needlegun
- Quickfix
- Beta Bonesaw

Just using the new names and skins of those items.

The other beta items also match up

3 new Soldier weapons, and 4 new Soldier weapons in that pack (but 2 are the same loadout slot)
2 new Sniper weapons, and 2 new Sniper weapons in that pack

 

[ArtistDude88]

So I was messing around with my tablet and drew this up. What'cha think?

 

[Drkirby]

Sounds good to me, I expect it to be done by dinner time.

 

[Oreoleo]

So I was messing around with my tablet and drew this up. What'cha think?

First thing that comes to mind is demospam. Can't have the spawns above the points like that unless there's a nice wall in the way or they are recessed back enough.

Yeah, I'm leaning more toward a small train yard in the middle to space the spawns out a little more to prevent nades from reaching. Also, a fence/wall to block spawn kills/spam from spawn.

 

[Forkball]

It's shit compared to your shrunk map idea.

SHIT.

God, so many perspective errors with this pic. What was I thinking when drawing it lol.

 

[Deleted member 74300]

I wonder if raid mode is gonna be a team up against a boss kinda thing? I remember reading that they were testing more boss like stuff after they made the Headless Horseman.

Maybe something a little more bigger than HHH.

[Proven]

Artistdude, the big thing I'd think about is how big you want the middle areas, and then how do you want to design the side/spawn areas.

The middle is much more important, and you have to figure out how wide you want it to be, how deep you want it to be, and then what extra structures do you want to have for people to hide behind or explosive jump on to. There's also Sniper and Sentry sight lines to consider.

Basically, consider what was done to make plr_hightower's middle a fun place to be while cp5_gorge's middle comes off as mediocre.

Edit: I just realized that if you make it at the bottom of a pit then it's not really King of the Hill anymore.

Hmmmmm!

The hill is clearly upside down

 

[dragonlife]

I really like that crane bomb idea, Artist.

 

[Blizzard]

The hill is clearly upside down

almost as if it were on in some upside-down country on the bottom of the world, like...AUSTRALIA

 

[commissar]

ahaha that's brilliant. Add some Mann Co. themed stuff around it, make sure the dirt is red and the dropbears vicious and you'll have an australian map artistdude

MUJU, where are those configs you were talking about last night?

I was referring to Chris' maxframes config on Chris' FPS Configs website

When I mentioned I needed a new config to help with frames, I thought you mentioned Chris' config, which is what I'm currently using. However, if you'll notice the date at the top of the file I linked, it says April 5, 2011. I gave up TF2 for lent which started on March 9, 2011, and ended last Sunday. So, as you can see his maxframes config was updated while I was not playing; additionally, updates have been made to TF2 that have possibly made the game slower for my system.

 

[Yeef]

Oh, pffft.

When you said 'new' configs I thought you meant from somewhere else. I'm already using those.

 

[rar]

i removed most people, ill add you again

x6 vs eMg wb rd2 game 2 cp_snakewater
stv: connect spectv006.esea.net:29760
mumble ip: 208.100.4.87 port: 64793 channel MGE Shoutcast

Man, that stream runs pretty crappy here.

What's the hud they use anyway? Also, the map. Looks pretty interesting.

yeah i prefer actually being in the stv and the mumble, stream runs pretty good for me though

I meant new to me, but I guess I should have said "updated."

[Oreoleo]

Worst is when none of the pyros push the damn ubers. God I hate backburner pyros.

Backburner gets 4 airblasts max, 3 if they've used ANY ammo. Just something to consider. Since switching to backburner a few days ago I've found myself without enough ammo to push an enemy away at least a few times.
