Already got the maps, but that link is nice to know. U:

Nope, but I set it up so that the last 7 maps played can't be nominated which should at least reduce the problem of playing the same 4 maps over and over.

I would agree it's an improvement, but it's not ideal. However, since you're so dead set on having the inherently flawed voting system, you should set the number even higher. Otherwise, it'll just end up being the same 7 maps over and over.

The CP/CTF hybrid was pretty fun, but there were too many narrow corridors. It's so easy to pick off scouts on that map.

And now for some TF2 videos, all Sgt. Pepper kills edition! I didn't plan this, but my most amusing kills were against him tonight for some reason.

Chargin' Fail (with bonus Scout kill!)
Robot punch to the sky
So many bullets, so many misses (special thanks to crits)

[edit] Aww, on my punch video, for some reason it rendered it so he gets hit straight down instead of up in the air. When I killed him, it launched him up pretty high, he hit the building behind him, and then slumped to the ground. I don't like how the replays randomize the physics.

So apparently on Monday there was a blog post, but maybe no one here knows about it because of map bitching.

http://teamfortress.com/

In summary:

Voting ends on Thursday, May 26th
Valve will pick out some finalists
Finalist voting will then happen, everybody gets one vote per category

So if I had to guess, it will take Valve one week to whittle down the nominees, then one week of finalist voting, and then a week for Valve to prepare for the winners announcement, and then finally the megaton update that was leaked a while ago. So I predict the huge update with Meet the Medic and the Saxxy award ceremony will be on June 16th.

Nah that was termyte, but he was just kidding. This Bunny moron even asked if there were any admins in the server and when Yeef replied yes, he still decided it would be a good idea to be an aimbot sniper

No, he was the guy asking if there were an admins around then I said "we're all admins." He probably thought I was joking and then turned on his aimbot then.

Also, I found out something useful: when you download a replay it downloads the entire demo file and saves it to tf/replay/client/replays, so you can re-watch the entire match. It even saves text chat (but not voice chat ;u).

That would explain some things that happened between me & him on that 5 cp custom map we played before 2fort.

Actually there is a way, the same method for when you record regular demos. You need to type voice_loopback 1 in console. This will enable the recording of voice chat in demos and replays. The only downside is that whenever you talk you will hear your echo which can be distracting if you're talking a lot.

No, no, the issue is that replay demos don't record voice at all. Remember, they're recorded from the point of view of the replay bot, who doesn't talk anyway, so the voice_loopback thing isn't an issue.

The other thing I noticed is that loading up the demos is that since it's from the point of view of the replay bot the camera is in a fixed position the entire map. Unlike a normal demo, drive only lets you look around, you can't actually move the camera elsewhere. Even setting cam_command on doesn't work.

Need more announcements when you guys are playing so I know to join in!

Also the 25 min 5CP time limit should reduce the complaining when the game gets into a back and forth at point where it keeps adding time.

Yea that was me trying to message Yeef about Bunny last night. Guy was so obvious while being a heavy on that Donkey Kong map, then he went sniper.

About that spy vs engineer video, I forgot to turn off auto reload (for Soldier/Demo) and the reload animation distracts me a lot with the revolver.
Edit: Oh and dirty crits in the end, you can see the blue shots that killed me. =(

No excuses about the punch video though. lol

Fixed some issues from last night:

  • ctf cap limit should actually be set to 5 now, also since ctf is only 1 round voting for next map happens at the very beginning of the match.
  • degroot keep should have 5 rounds now; I had made a typo in the file name, which was why it didn't work last night.

While more announcements aren't a bad thing, if it's around 9 EST and you want to play you might as well just hop on the server. People will join. It's like clockwork.

There isn't a way to set it to begin voting after the intel gets capped once or twice? CTF is already bad, knowing we'd have to play 2fort without being able to nominate the next map makes it even worse :(

I can set it to go off at a specific time into the match (five minutes, for example), but then you have the issue with the vote potentially getting you kill because you try to swtich weapons just as a vote comes up.

Actually, that sound skind of amusing, so I'll do it.

Yeah, that sounds preferable to me too, honestly. Is there a warning message like "Map vote will begin in 5 seconds" or something? Just so people know to stop trying to switch weapons with hot keys. If not, I don't think it's that big of a deal. The vote lasts long enough if you push a key in error you can always re-vote when you're dead :3

I think on Friday during the day I'll go through all of the custom maps and see which ones make the clients crash and then either fix them or remove them*.

Or just play Witcher 2 all day.

I'm a TOTAL Valve newbie who got popped hard fucking core in the past month by playing for the first time Portal 1, Portal 2, Half Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2 all in a short time span. I love all of those games. And I can't help but repeat out loud (to my brother's annoyance) stuff like "Welcome! Welcome to City 17" or "Oh my god, striders really tore the hell out of this place" over and over again. God bless the Orange Box's main menu. <3

I couldn't get into TF2 though. It might only be because the 360 port is shit. But I can't stand playing more than 5 minutes of it. It seems so boring. But hey, over on the PC side I read about almost daily updates, a new replay mode, and custom hats, and all of that probably mixed in with a great online community. Meanwhile on 360 you got hacked servers (though I do admit to being happy that one particular hacked server gave me every TF2 achievement lol).

Yeef, 3 point cp maps end after the second point has been captured. Happened on gravelshit after you left. Dunno how the winning team was determined though, seeing as how we won as Red after they had capped the second point.

Also, my five submitted videos for the Saxxys have 84 total views from teamfortress.com. I'm not sure if you've been voting on the site lately, but they've done a pretty good job eliminating the unrelated videos, although a few pop up every now and then.

I got this one quasi un-related video but it was hilarious. It was a much of typical 'American's home video' reels of people falling & getting hit in the nuts but with all the audio replaced with TF2 audio clips in a well-done manner. Good stuff.

Oh God 360 version. I wouldn't be able to convince you in words how different the PC version is from the console version, it feels like a different game. You'd have to play it to see.

Yeah. It was an oversight, but it was amusing enough that I didn't bother to fix it while I was playing. Basically, the KOTH config sets the win limit to 2, but I forgot to revert it in the other config files. It was hilarious playing payload maps and having them end after the first round. Dustbowl was especially great, because it was the first map it happened on and no one was expecting it. (Also, because I hate dustbowl).

Anyway, I'll fix it now.

I've got 64 for the demo massacre video, 46 for the heavy one, 37 for the stupid grenade one.
Not bad I guess.

also where are our Highlander medals.

Being able to play back in slow-mo would help a lot with that, I think. Having to react to the video and coordinate the camera in real time is a bit of a challenge. Hopefully it's something Valve is working on.
