Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update coming

I'd argue that not counting points on *any* servers is a glitch. The rewards are untradable, so please open them up to community servers. On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 9:06 AM, Chase Cochran wrote: > Here’s a glitch: contracts don’t count points on Virginia servers > > > > >

I had to check the Valve Invasion servers to see what tags they were running. On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 11:37 PM, Matthias "InstantMuffin" Kollek < proph...@sticed.org> wrote: > Wait, how do you know that? Was there an announcement telling about the > tag? > > On 07.1

Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released

It looks like you'll need community_update in your sv_tags to get Quickplay traffic for Invasion maps. Glad we're in Valve's thoughts and that they kept us apprised. On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 8:43 PM, Eric Smith wrote: > We've released a mandatory update for TF2. The

[hlds_linux] TargetID Team Restrictions

While you guys are revamping the TargetID system, I'd like to place a small request. Could a server cvar please be added to enable TargetIDs to show for enemies? This would be incredibly useful for trade servers and the like. Alexander Corn Dr. McKay http://www.doctormckay.com

This could be easily solved by simply enabling the box by default for a player's first 5 hours or so of playtime, then unchecking it (or presenting them with a dialog prompting them to disable it to check out the community aspect of TF2, which they could decline). McKay -Original

Re: [hlds_linux] Temporary Quickplay changes ... 8 months later

Here's a free bump since I didn't check the list in a little while. The Quickplay change was the single most harmful change in the history of the game. Gamers are notoriously lazy and entitled. They want their game to start *now*, before the loading screen even goes away. They're going to take

If you want my advice, install SourceIRC. This will allow you to issue admin commands via an IRC channel, and you can set up others with access to only certain commands so you don't need to give out your rcon password to all your admins. SourceIRC can also be set up to relay chat to/from an IRC

Dan, have you ever listened to developer commentary in any video game that was ever made? Time and time again, developers need to create hints to point players in the right direction. Ever played Portal? Do you remember how in the earlier levels that teach you how to fling, the spot on the wall
