I have to admit, I am pretty bad at battling spies as an Engineer. I can never seem to kill the spy and then save all of my buildings. In the last point of Dustbowl, I often build up on the balcony. I put my gun on the edge so it can see the bridge easily, and then I always put my dispenser in front of the door. That way spies cannot sneak up behind me and backstab me because the dispenser blocks it, so they either have to sap it, which gets my attention, or try to shoot at me. However, one time I got fucking backstabbed through some tiny ass gap between the door and the dispenser and the spy sapped all my stuff. Ughhhhh. Is a Pocket Pyro too much to ask for sometimes?

A wrench to the face gets them pretty quickly. But I use the Jag and that generally requires 2 or more hits which can make it tough. Sometimes I hit 'Q' to bring up the shotgun but then I end up with the wrangler and I'm totally defenseless.

Hmmm...Proven....to be owned?!

Whenever I lay engie, I almost always go after the spy first. It'll give him the impression I'm after him only and he'll resort to fighting and put away that sapper. It'll give me some time to hit my buildings while I'm dodging. Though I'll switch to shotty if he runs far away enough. As far as I'm concerned, you should ALWAYS go for the spy unless the other team is pushing and your sentry gun is needed at that moment.

@drkirby. If I were you, I'd shoot first and THEN sap. I don't think engies get cues as to when their stuff is being attacked, only when it's being sapped. Two shots and a sap will be all she wrote, but sapping and then shooting? I've had engies fix it in time while others killed me.

This is an excellent point and one I should try. Engineers can SEE that the equipment is being damaged and there may be the little beeping noise, but it's not as obvious as the sapper effect. I would think it's pretty rare that an engineer would pay enough attention to catch the teleporter in time -- when doing invisible spy sentry tauntkills I might have had an engineer only once notice the halfway-through-taunt sentry damage in time to do something about it.

I had a dream last night that me and Speculawyer were playing real-life TF2 all night and didn't stop until like 9 or 10 in the morning. I remember being angry cause I wasn't getting any drops :3 That is all.

I think that's the first time GAF has invaded my dreams.

100 View Get!

1 Achievement down. Now I just have to replicate it 10 times to get a hat, then 100 times, than 1,000 times.

At this rate it'll only take me 4 years to get the last achievement!

There are some threads in the Art/Videos sub-forum of the TF2 SPUF that can help you get the views you need. I'm closing on 300 views for the 2nd video submitted.

Nope, similure alarm noise cue. Not the "A spy's sappen my sentry!" cue, but the "boo, boo, boo, boo" cue.

But I can give it a try.

When I get home I plan to make a kick ass video.

Why so dark? I wish the server I played had replays.

Another sniper and me killed each other with arrows when the cart reached the final point. Him and me were lameting missing such awesome moment. =(

EDIT: I need servers that DO have replays enabled, not that they have the movie tape on the side but the replays are always off anyway. >_>

I'd be down Ketch. The only useful class I would probably qualify for in 6v6 is medic although I have been working on my scout again.

The "people having no hats" glitch seems to be fairly common. Maybe Valve is stealth testing an option to turn off cosmetics.

Also change your avatar Artist.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
Okay I want to do a silly replay, but its going to take a few people, and some perfect coordination.

Map starts, and red and blue heavy run at eachother and perform the fists gun taunt at eachother at the exact same time. Right before they would kill eachother with the taunt however, a red and blue sniper standing right next to eachother would headshot their respective heavies, then do the wave taunt.

Anyone be willing to help? And what would be a good map for this?

I'd be willing to help, I'm good at getting headshot. As for the map, maybe Badlands since it's kinda open, especially the middle point. Or somewhere on Goldrush.

Also, Valve really needs to fix some fugly paint jobs for the new hats.

Painted_Furious_Fukaamigasa_141414.png


Honestly, all of the paints for the Fukamigasa look hideous. Please do not paint that thing if you get it.

Harvest or Sawmill would be good, I think.

[Edit] We'll also need an empty server with replays enabled that will also let us force a map change to one of those maps....

Those two paints are ugly because the Wiki painted them wrong

Go into the Mann Co store and preview the paint. It looks a lot nicer.

The basket hat (fukawhatever) only paints the string. The Wiki is wrong.

For the Luchador, only the white part is painted. The other flamey bits are not tinted as the Wiki implies.


I have been bugging the Wiki to fix these errors, along with the incorrect painting they have for the Villain's Veil.

Have any clue if the lucha mask's design is texture work or part of the model itself? Would be cool if the hat maker did some variations you could set with styles.

Looks like it's a texture.

Which is impressive considering it doesn't look like a texture until you get really close.

You can see here that it's actually all flat and none of the details are raised.

I'm awful at aiming soldier vs soldier on those.

Also don't mind Java he just doesn't like dying.

Finally got the chance to play around with the replay editor. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this. I edited and rendered a video(after which tf2 froze and then crashed on me), and had a great time in the 5 minutes I spent doing it. All I need now is a video that's actually worthy to be uploaded and viewed by everyone.

Update:

Replay publishing system will try to do a rename for local HTTP mode but will manually copy and delete the file if the rename fails, which can happen if the source and destination are on different volumes.
Fixed threading issues on Linux, which was causing major lag spikes.
Fixed replay data cleanup system, which cleans up stale data at the end of each round. This asynchronous operation can be explicitly invoked by executing a replay_docleanup command on the server.
Removed unused convar, replay_cleanup_time.
Saxxy fanfare music wasn't playing on music channel. Music will only play once per launch now and will not play on a changelevel

Does this mean we can actually get replays on the GAF server?
