I love that I check the blog everyday, and I miss this >.<

Skillers · Wed Jan 28, 2009 8:04 am

Heh, I just clicked that on my RSS feed as I opened this thread.

Looking good, should be interesting!

I know its a bit late and we already have a thread for this, but what do you think some of the weps/achieves will be, and does anyone know if there are any new maps with this one?

Skillers · Wed Jan 28, 2009 4:35 pm

I read something about a new gamemode and new maps, and I would assume they'll include some community maps aswell. My answer is yes, but not 100% sure.

Epic, Natascha gets fixed ^^ I'll be whoring Heavy even more now to cope with all the damned scouts ^^ With a weapon change though me thinks

Sounds awesome, I cant wait to see what the new Scout weapons are like. One of them was to make the scout better on PL maps, so I'd like to know what that one is....

DRAGON · Wed Jan 28, 2009 5:00 pm

An article on The Escapist said that they were developing new payload maps and a new gamemode.

Skillers · Wed Jan 28, 2009 5:33 pm

That's the one, Dragon!

Was just about to leave when I saw those awesome little dots on the Steam icon;

Spoiler for OMG:

Quote:

Updates to Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Team Fortress 2

Added percentage to UberCharge HUD panel for the Medic

Added upgrade progress and levels to Engineer HUD panel for all buildings

Added mp_tournament_allow_non_admin_restart server ConVar to allow server admin to toggle whether non-admin players can issue the mp_tournament_restart ConCommand on the server. Default is 1 (current behavior)

Added flag to the gamerules entity so map authors can override the HUD type being used. Allows map authors to force CTF or CP HUD to be used if they mix CTF/CP entities in the map

Added check in CTF HUD to make sure it doesn't point at disabled capture zones when the player is carrying the flag. Allows map authors to have more than one capture zone for each team in the map

Changed AutoTeam to give new players to the attackers on attack/defend maps if the teams are even

Fixed Pyro model not animating in the class menu

Fixed players getting stuck in the "prepare to respawn..." countdown loop

Fixed Natascha not getting the proper 75% of damage and slightly increased the strength of Natascha's slowdown

Fixed teleporter entrance/exit effects being drawn when they don't have a matching teleporter entrance/exit

Fixed announcer saying "the cart is nearing the checkpoint" after the round has already been won

Fixed cloaked spies having a particle-beam effect while standing next to a dispenser that's healing them

Fixed server crash when trying to load a map that contains control points with duplicate index values

Fixed several materials warnings in the console

Fixed "Cart.Explode" sound script entry using an unknown sound channel

Marked the cl_bobcycle and cl_bobup ConVars as cheats

Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source

Fixed clients using reloadresponsesystems, sv_soundemitter_flush, sv_soundemitter_filecheck, sv_findsoundname, and sv_soundscape_printdebuginfo to lag/crash servers

Source Engine

Fixed client "timeout on mapchange" problem

Fixed setinfo exploit

Marked the r_aspectratio ConVar as a cheat

Server Browser

Renamed "Quick List" to "Map List"

Removed minimum ping filter from Map List

It's a fix patch, not the update

DHR-107 · Thu Jan 29, 2009 10:59 am

They said in the blog todays was only gonna be a fix patch... Why is everyone so gutted?

But I'm kinda glad theyve fixed some of the graphical bugs. The ranom Pyro not animating and blown up teleporters still working were the only major ones.

What were the bobcycle things?

Skillers · Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:45 pm

Heh, I forgot about the patch patch, and got excited!

Hawke · Thu Jan 29, 2009 11:50 pm

Most of the patches seem to work.
The teleporter bug seems to remain to me, what about anybody else?

Different bobcycle values would change the position of your weapon on the screen. So you could actually play without having a viewable weapon on the screen.

Lord Metritutus · Fri Jan 30, 2009 11:23 am

The new update is awesome. Your cloak doesn't recharge whilst on a dispenser, it just holds steady. However cunning spies will have already noticed that you can safely de-cloak, let it charge up, then recloak without the effect appearing.

Hawke · Sat Jan 31, 2009 2:13 pm

The Demoman's grenade launcher now holds all 6 grenades making his weapon complete.

Skillers · Sat Jan 31, 2009 2:42 pm

Huh, since when?

Hawke · Sat Jan 31, 2009 2:49 pm

The new update, obviously. Play TF2 and see for yourself.

Skillers · Sat Jan 31, 2009 4:34 pm

Odd, I would have thought they would have put something like that in the changelog and there hasn't been any other patches...

Also, I see nothing on the SteamPowered forums, infact I found a thread, posted yesterday, with a suggestion including "Increase clip size to 6.". Something tells me the demoman doesn't have 6pipe bombs.

Hawke · Sat Jan 31, 2009 5:08 pm

Well I played TF2 this morning and I had 6 grenades (not sticky bombs) and 16 in reserve.
It may have been forgotten to mention in the forum: play the game!
Either that or the server I was on had custom configs to give Demomen 6.

Skillers · Sat Jan 31, 2009 5:55 pm

I would go with custom server, I would imagine someone else would be talking about it otherwise.

6 with 16 in reserve doesn't make sense for a TF2 ammo clip size. Nearly all reserve ammo is a multiple of the clip. So like the Sniper has 15 bullets in a Clip for his SMG and 75 in stock (5 reloads). 6 doesnt go into 16

But having 6 would make sense because thats how many tubes his Grenade Launcher actually has lol.
