ERIC SMITH HAS GONE WOKE

so apparently jumping into the pit on precipice causes togl to crash the game

what a massive fiasco

he should do that more often

next nymph

you should tell him that

#

Who is that?

potent wolf
#

yeah

livid oracle
#

does it apply some sort of overlay

#

i jumped in the pit and it crashed my game too

potent wolf

it's an issue with togl not implementing some dx api

I think it crashes if you hit the sides

but idk

question

#

i dont understand very well how workshop works but theres something saying that the maps of prophunt will be on the game or that has a chance to be added?

radiant merlin
#

no

#

eric decides

summer willow
#

ok

#

my take is, doesnt need to be on the game and it would be much better if it had instead a good server browser

#

but probably not going to happen and also theres basically no server or communities in brazil

#

everything is just 24/7 2fort, 0 players, outdated servers in here

#

i really just experience vsh and zombies now that is in the game, even thought vsh died very quickly, i tried servers from another countries but lag obviously

crisp cedar
#

my take is, need to be on the game

summer willow
#

true

spare obsidian
#

i think the real fix that the server browser needs is basically fix the lag spike it has every time you open it

summer willow
#

what?

potent wolf
#

kill off the builtin server browser and replace it with the steam server browser

left sand
#

isnt casual basically a server browser

#

you get to queue for the maps you want

potent wolf
#

i guess?

#

I assume people mean community server browser when they say server browser

question: what if tf2 had 64 tick servers instead of 66

spare obsidian
#

please no

keep the tick drama guys outa here

everyone know that 132 is better

#

ngl, i would love tf2 with subtick

it would be extremely important for spy

in fact, i did some version of subtick, or at least started on it for TC2 in 2020

Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (; May 21, 1960 – November 28, 1994), also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial killer and sex offender who killed and dismembered seventeen males between 1978 and 1991. Many of his later murders involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the permanent preservation of body parts—typic...

#

Is subtick better than doubling or otherwise increasing tick rate? Or is it just a matter of making the best use of the available resources?

#

Plus maybe avoiding the bugs associated with the tick rate dependent stuff in tf2?

livid oracle
#

game put me in a US server so i saw bots for the first time in years

#

there's an interval for votekicks?

#

lol

left sand
#

its basically infinite tickrate

#

or really just tickrate as much as client fps

#

well for hitreg

for client input

gotta remember that when the average player talks about tickrate they only really care about how often screen gets new info, not wth an usercmd is supposed to be

To be honest, I'm already getting sick of this TF2ber (and fanbase)/TF2 reddit bashing
I get it, they're all circlejerking fools with zero brainmass (and some are weird people who should reform themselves, like a certain guy I shouldn't name)
I mean, it's not like I care that much, I don't usually watch TF2 youtube or care for the youtubers bashed here (granted, you detest them for justifiable reasons)
But I wonder why this seems to be brought up every so often... unless my memory fails me I'm sure I've seen such bashing in the past

thats my stance

#

we used to get a new gimmick every scream fortress

and it was so fun

i think what made me understand the tf2 community is realising that most players like me play the game a couple of hours every couple of days

while most ppl that complain constantly seem like they play 8 hours a day or something

cs players are known to stand still for hours, because that way they can get headshots and headshots are very important

#

tf2 players do this unironically

radiant merlin
summer steeple
#

fun fact, the damage and kills needed to spawn a sentry buster in mvm inversely scales to how many player built sentries there are in the world (ignoring disposable sentries)

#

with 6 sentries, the amount needed is halved

#

with default settings (can be edited by popfile), thats going to be every 1500 damage and 7 kills

next nymph
#

good, 6 engies is too many

#

if tobors were smart they'd sent sentry busters immediately

summer steeple
#

true...

potent wolf

it stops scaling at 6 sentries, so if you have more players for some reason, it doesn't get any harder

what happens if the halloween bosses spawn inside mvm

unless valve (unlikely) adds support for spawing them using the popfile

i can know when to push or retreat based on the number of dead people

If they add prophunt to the game, it'll kill TF2

TF2 is NOT Garry's Mod...

I did not. I am a free thinker

Prophunt WILL be added and it WILL be glorious

Adding gimicky game modes is not healthy for the game long term

valve aways avoids anything that will cause too much drama

notice the lack of balance updates

but if Eric adds it them based because it would be a horrible day for annoying plp

livid oracle
#

9/11 for annoying contrarians

high current
#

I don't think Valve really avoids drama. The lack of balance updates is probably just a matter of balance updates being more challenging to do properly and they don't have the dev team to do damage control on something like that.

livid oracle
#

they do playtesting for balance changes

#

since gun mettle at least

craggy ridge
jagged pawn
#

the only drama they avoid is anything to do with the economy because that's the only drama that would actually affect them

craggy ridge
#

some weapons could really benefit from small tweaks

high current
#

I just don't think they'd add prophunt cuz it's kinda only fun because of the jankiness of it and I don't think that is something they'd do outside a themed event, and prop hunt doesn't fall into any theme

drowsy marlin
#

They should implement balance mod

livid oracle
#

who is they here

drowsy marlin
#

I think the will be healthy for the game

craggy ridge
#

which

jagged pawn
#

and yeah rebalance would require a level of testing beyond what they do now (as far as I'm aware aside from what they did for vsh they just check if maps/cosmetics are functional)

they should implement the version of higps's vitasaw that builds uber in like 20 secs

IT'S STILL THERE, THE USELESS 20% SLOWER FIRING SPEED

lmao

livid oracle
#

they need to implement higps's bushwacka rework that adds like +5% melee range

craggy ridge
#

THAT WAS ONLY ADDED BECAUSE AN YOUTUBER SAID "erhmm guys i think heavy being fast and beating up people is NOT ok"

Honestly they should just give everyone critical headshots to nerf sniper. You can see from the success of CS that people prefer one-shot headshotstrollfig

like at least bad weapon rehab would be a net positive for the game. it has a lot of wacky changes but I can describe it as "mostly positive". higps balance mod is just so so bad lmao

I feel like most balance mods feel obligated to change every weapon. Like most weapons are in fine states, you can just edit the ones that need it and call it a day.

is the huntsman buff that gives it +20% projectile speed still there

like as an obvious example the loose cannon isn't viable but it's fun as hell and I don't really see anyone advocating for it to be changes. the fan o war, meanwhile, is just shit. it's shit. so to say it needs to be changed is not some comp brain thing it's just commons ense

All the balance mods from when I followed them were talking about competitive viability. Granted I havent cared about them in years so im outdated

# craggy ridge

You’re telling me I can laser the soldier bombing me and get Uber? Hell yeh

formal dew
#

the syringes should be filled with anti computer juice so that if you hit an enemy with syringes, the player stops getting any interpolated or compensated information on their client so the game is unplayably stuttery

craggy ridge
high current
#

How much damage do syringes do? Isn’t it like 15 per needle? Medic would be the main spam class

high current
#

Unironically, if a needle gun gave you the ability to needle jump, it could maybe be a side grade to crossbow

craggy ridge
high current
#

Crossbow needs a minor nerf and other needle guns need to either be buffed or accept their fate and be removed from the game.

#

Medics definitely shouldn’t be able to needle jump. But that’s what it would take

drowsy marlin

what on earth is this

#

just use the medigun

high current
#

It’s just clunky medigun lmao

craggy ridge
# drowsy marlin

this was made so you didn't lose out when you have the syringe gun equipped

high current

I feel like you’d just run that + crossbow. Crossbow does more healing at range and that does instant heal at close range.

Imagine pushing last and the med is just alternating melee and bow pocketing a brass beast heavy. Because bow reloads when holstered👀

for more melees that give the enemy a ton of knockback because that's really funny

I am biased to ktbm because i have contributed a lot to its balancing

???

summer willow
#

that file in huds valve.rc or something can override mastercomfig?

summer steeple
#

its technically the REAL autoexec

#

it is the file run at startup and then it runs autoexec.cfg

summer willow
#

maxihud doesnt have to exec autoexec

#

which thinking about huds using is kinda weird

summer steeple
#

hm thats odd

#

cause this is all that valve.rc is normally

summer willow
summer steeple
#

so wait, are you saying your autoexec doesn't work?

summer willow
#

mastercomfig doesnt run

summer steeple
#

ah yeah I see

#

just add this before that line

exec joystick.cfg

// run a user script file if present
exec autoexec.cfg

//
// stuff command line statements
//
stuffcmds

// display the startup level
startupmenu```
#

should fix it

summer willow
#

well

drowsy marlin
#

I should learn gyro aiming

summer willow
#

not going to happen but just an idea, what about huds using something like hudexec.cfg and then you put in autoexec or mastercomfig auto executes and then nobody needs to modify this file, even though isnt such a prejudicial file, what if it was?

#

silly

summer steeple
#

probably because this way huds are drag and drop even if you have an autoexec

summer willow
#

most of the huds without is drag n drop

#

checking on what huds do i saw this

#

xd

summer steeple
#

amazing

#

not like its very clear in valve.rc that it EXECS FUCKING AUTOEXEC

summer willow
summer steeple
#

well if the hud doesn't need to set a command they don't need the file

#

if they do need to do something they use valve.rc

summer willow
#

but can break configs

high current
# summer willow checking on what huds do i saw this

A majority of huds don’t use valve.rc because they don’t need to.
And idk if I’d call it “best practice” as it’s more so just “not blatantly bad practice” to not just break the most common config and go “oops lol” and keep the thing that broke it for no reason.

#

Basically if you’re going to edit valve.rc as a hud dev you should know to not remove exec autoexec.cfg from it, which preserves normal functionality of basically any config.
But using valve.rc you can do cool things that wouldn’t be possible without editing it, like hud-customizations through in game menus or special hud edits.

high current
summer willow
summer steeple
#

well the thing is if you're going to be adding another cfg you need a way to run it

#

which would mean... editing valve.rc

#

And general rule of thumb you either get told or find out the hard way: if you trust the user to do something, they won’t do it. So you have to do it for them using valve.rc

#

I just do something like exec hud.cfg in valve.rc, as it’s just more manageable than editing valve.rc and a little more accessible to those who want to edit it

#

Not that valve.rc is hard to edit. Just people are more used to looking for .cfg files than .rc files.

summer willow
#

in the case that everyone agree on using x file that its in every config to exec, if the user is using a custom config, but if not and the hud just needs to change 1 thing or the user wants the config provided by the hud you can just exec x
if the hud is so complex that needs to be on the autoexec i believe is a hud that people will normally edit so they know? idk
but yeah, is more easier to the huds makers just do right than users

#

i need to create an account to report this issue to some huds that aren't in github

#

also funny issue with coolhud, the info.vdf is formatted in utf-16le and because of that the hud doesnt works on linux

high current
#

The file every config uses is autoexec basically. That was kinda decided by valve as exec autoexec is literally done by valve’s original valve.rc. And hud documentation on valve.rc says to keep that there or it will break configs. It’s just an issue with that hud, basically a bug.

And a hud doesnt necessarily need to be ground breaking to need to execute a config. A pretty common use for it is setting the hud minmode to one setting or another, because often users will put a minmode setting in their personal autoexec, and the hud will be designed with or without that setting in mind.
Or another example is just getting rid of the dimming effect when you open the casual menu, to do that you basically just toggle a setting on/off at a specific time to make the hud visually cleaner.
The two uses I mentioned are probably 1-5 commands that you run.

You can get more complex with it. Like my hud can generate customized code for hud files using its config. But it is sort of an exception in terms of confit complexity.

# zealous pond Random crits will always be a good thing.

Tbh my take on random crits is “it doesn’t really matter”. In competitive environments, yeh absolutely random crits don’t fit.
But in pubs a random crit is about as influential as whether TimmothyGonzalez2011 figures out then can’t shoot through glass or not.
They suck to receive and they’re hilarious to get.

currently the wiki is having error 503 issues

Maybe comedy isn’t the right word. But something along the lines of “they just got deleted tehe”

they should balance crits by adding a chance for an anti-crit that makes you die when you shoot
