I have to agree here. The game is called TEAM Fortress 2. A 6-engi stack like that is easily countered by a good demo/medic combo, or something as simple as one good spy. Whenever I see shenanigans like that I usually get my team to stop derping around long enough to put together one good tactic, bust the other team's troll tactic apart, and then suddenly it's back to being a normal team on the other side.

It's probably because server owners haven't properly configured their servers for this update yet. I think that it would be easier if a modded tag were added, and that way popular gameplay mods like VSH and Randomizer could set that by default so that these servers don't automatically appear on QuickPlay.

The huge problem here is that server plugins can't reliably set their own tags without risking breaking the server browser completely, as there is a really low character limit on the tags field - and overflowing it isn't handled safely at all.

There's also a problem where you can't manually set tags that are set by the game. For example, if I have a plugin to modifies respawn times, I can't add the respawntimes tag, as the game will remove it. The only way to set the respawntimes tag without changing the game's built-in respawn timer is to change mp_respawnwavetime to 10, since the default is 10.0 and the game uses a string comparison to decide if the cvar has been changed.

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Important changes to TF2 coming soon
I observed the same thing happening with a melee crits plugin I wrote, but it seemed like the engine stopped trying to change it back after 3 or so successive times. Not sure whether it's worth it, but I just hooked up to sv_tags changes and changed it to the proper setting if it wasn't correct. It would be nice to have some small overhaul of sv_tags, though, that would increase its length and fix issues like that.

It looks like opting into the steam beta has broken favorites and history in TF2.Is anyone else experiencing this? On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 8:08 PM, 1nsane 1nsane...@gmail.com wrote: Awesome.

The feature is currently in beta. Using a steam gameserver account provides one important advantage right now: client favorite lists are keyed by the Steam account if present. This means that you can move your server to another IP address, and clients who have your server in their favorites or history will follow you to your new location. CREATING AN ACCOUNT: Creating an account is currently only possible via WebAPI. (Remember, this feature is currently in beta. We'll add a nicer interface for this soon.) Make a HTTPS POST request to the following URL: https://api.steampowered.com/IGameServersService/CreateAccount/v0001/ The POST arguments should be: appid=440 (for Team Fortress) key=your WebAPIKey your WebAPIKey is the WebAPI key associated with the user account that will own the server accounts. See http://steamcommunity.com/dev for how to get one of these. (WARNING: Make sure and keep this key secret. This key is an authentication token in some respects and makes it possible to do certain actions on your behalf. Don't feed the key into anybody's nice convenient web page that automates this. With your WebAPI key they could impersonate you for some actions. If you don't want to go through the pain of making a WebAPI call, just wait until we have a nicer interface implemented.) The output of the WebAPI will be the (permanent) SteamID of your gameserver, and a login token. The login token is a random string of text that allows you to actually login to your account. You can view a list of the servers owned by a user account by making a HTTPS GET call to: https://api.steampowered.com/IGameServersService/GetAccountList/v0001/?key=yourkeyhttps://api.steampowered.com/IGameServersService/GetAccountList/v0001/?key=%3cyourkey LOGGING IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT (TF only for now): Once you have a gameserver login token, you can specify your login credentials on a Source engine server by executing this console command sometime before it loads the first map: sv_setsteamaccount login token The server output should make it clear when you are using a Steam gameserver account and when you are logging in anonymously. (The ordinary gameserver login that has always been used.) Remember, for now you will need to login to both your Steam gameserver account and also your TF account. The two accounts are not related. The TF account is the one that determines quickplay eligibility, and the Steam one does favorites migration. Eventually we will remove
