okay well the patching is maybe jank but the rest mostly works good
I don't really use the patching in ida much anyways

its written in java
is this why i have never heard of this ida

what

because java is the greatest

Wait I just tried a different program and got the graph edge bug and now it wrote the disasm right
this is so weird

Ghidra has bsim and supports more architectures than binja thats like the only reason i still use it

I doubt it. You can’t really load files arbitrarily with huds with the exception of .txt files pretty much.
Also you can only kind of restart tf2 with HUDs, which is a major barrier. iirc it’s using a language file command that restarts the game, all other restart methods are broken.
I think most likely someone will come out with a launcher with profiles / presets, similar to modded Minecraft launchers.

That would be neat
a launcher that just selects which mods you want or none at all
Or even select which hud you want when launching

When we were getting very close to releasing Half-Life (less than a week or so), we found there were already some projects that we needed to start working on, but we couldn't risk checking in code to the shipping version of the game. At that point we forked off the code in VSS to be both /$Goldsrc and /$Src. Over the next few years, we used these terms internally as "Goldsource" and "Source". At least initially, the Goldsrc branch of code referred to the codebase that was currently released, and Src referred to the next set of more risky technology that we were working on. When it came down to show Half-Life 2 for the first time at E3, it was part of our internal communication to refer to the "Source" engine vs. the "Goldsource" engine, and the name stuck.
so the name goldsrc just comes from half life going gold...
potent wolf
VSS

they used to use vss

So I guess they used vss for goldsource and mostly p4 for source?

Wait what does dxgi swapchain get you besides HDR?
VRR in borderless mode

Only happened with DXVK and not bare DX9
eternal haven
Is your tf2 a different res than windows desktop or something?
small sirenBOT
fickle dragon
Nope, desktop and TF2 running in native resolution and max refresh rate
eternal haven
That's weird it never mode switches when on the same res for me
dxvk, layered on dxgi swapchain or native, dx9, borderless, fullscreen
any combination no mode switch
gsync on or off too
I wonder if you have weird launch options like -nod3d9ex or -dxlevel
fickle dragon
I haven't the slightest clue why, for me it only happened with DXVK without DXGI swapchain, on both fullscreen or windowed
Lemme fetch my launch options
-vulkan -novid -nohltv -particles 1 -precachefontchars -no_texture_stream
eternal haven
hmm so not that
I'll have to double check mine again but I'm 99% sure it didn't mode switch
Yeah no it doesn't, dxvk, prefer native, gsync on (or off, same behavior), no mode switch on alt tab

if you're messing with game files like that you have to accept at least some risk

elfin isle
is the recent update big news?
eternal haven
The recent mastercomfig update or tf2 or tc2?
The mastercomfig update is fairly routine, similar to all previous updates, but I guess it's big news
the tf2 update is quite big news, it allows anyone to make custom tf2 mods
you can modify the client or server (but not the base source engine)
tc2 is now one of such mods
elfin isle
That does sound bigger than a language file patch.
It's probably really difficult to make any mods without any experience is it?
eternal haven
I guess it depends on how complex you're looking to go
someone with no experience at all can download the source code and get it compiled and running quite easily
and making small changes is easy enough for anyone to figure out
if you want to change something in a complex way it will require some experience or research
steady spruce
Oh wow, the Steam Networking works really good, just had a few people connect to me after hosting a listen server to test things on.

You can do sv_lan 1 if you want to block their connections, or hide_server 1 to skip advertising it to the valve master list

Can I give myself WALLHACKS to give myself a slight advantage playing the game?
Probably you could
If you try it on actual real tf2 servers you risk getting vac banned of course
steady spruce
I did have to compile a build of TC2 on Linux from the Github source code though
elfin isle
So Valve releases modding tools but bans you if you try to play with mods?
eternal haven
The mods are meant to be new games
You aren't meant play base tf2 with a modded client, you're meant to make a new game with a client and server that are based on tf2 but that you have customized
elfin isle
My interest has deflated.
steady spruce
If you try it on actual real tf2 servers you risk getting vac banned of course
Do they check the authenticity of the client and server DLLs if that's the case?
eternal haven
On windows there's a simple check that will put you in insecure mode
small sirenBOT
eternal haven
on linux, there was no such check, but I have not looked recently
after that, it's up to vac
cursive peak
Using these tools maliciously sounds like a great way to get them taken away.
eternal haven
nobody really knows what exactly vac does and valve can change it at any point, but it's good to assume that if you cheat, you will be banned
elfin isle
If you use gameplay enhancers and VAC arbitrary decides it's a cheat and bans you foreverialy.
cursive peak
What kind of "gameplay enhancer" needs to mess with the memory that's not a cheat?
elfin isle
I don't know. I'd like to have r_picmip unlocked to have flat walls for example.
eternal haven
They could easily make the base tf2 engine incompatible with source sdk 2013 engine if they wanted to
Maybe they should
eternal haven
Well I don't mean make incompatible for a determined attacker
just for the average person
potent wolf
i guess
eternal haven
but yeah anyways @elfin isle just don't use a modded tf2 client on real tf2 servers and you will be fine
eternal haven
I don't know. I'd like to have r_picmip unlocked to have flat walls for example.
Also worth noting that the code they released is not even the part of the game where mat_picmip resides
Tbh there's a really common misconception in the tf2 community that the engine itself was released
Like over 90% of comments I'm reading imply the assumption that it was
elfin isle
It's just the SDK Source Decal Kit whatever that means right?
eternal haven
It's like all the tf2 specific stuff
think of half life 2 and team fortress 2
most of what is different about tf2 from half life 2 was released
most of what is the same between the two games is still private closed source
small sirenBOT
cursive peak
"I just wanted r_picmip unlocked" sounds like a shitty BS excuse someone would use when talking about getting VAC'd over a modded client that does so much more than just that.
elfin isle
Why?
cursive peak
Because it's just like "It was my little brother"
eternal haven
Bottom line is valve intends you to only use modded clients to play on modded servers, not real tf2 servers
It's really that simple
potent wolf
and also if valve is letting people use modded clients on live tf2
thats on them imo
eternal haven
I mean that's what I was talking about earlier
they don't 'let' you do it on windows
they may still freely let you do it on linux (haven't checked recently)

Another thing which would be neat is replacing the water with just some translucent texture.

You're just trying to justify getting upset when you get banned for using a modded client with built in hacks and such.
You can do all that without ever connecting to a real TF2 server.
And bypassing sv_pure in any way should probably earn a ban anyway.

Alright but you have to admit there's a point to having 'bound' on certain graphics settings
potent wolf
seems like it
small sirenBOT
eternal haven
and they've set the bound on water to 'you will look at it'
potent wolf
2fort is the best tf2 map out there
eternal haven
if you allow people to customize literally everything about the graphics, with absolutely zero restrictions, the game devolves
tf2 already gives you a far greater amount of customization than other games
IMO players should just be happy and thankful for that
elfin isle
and they've set the bound on water to 'you will look at it'
i'd like to disagree with the developers
cursive peak
Wallhacking on 2fort against players who are barely more cognizant than amoebas sounds like such boring gameplay.
elfin isle
I don't think being able to actually tell there are players under the surface of a body of water constitutes wallhacking.
eternal haven
That's just part of tf2
cursive peak
Awfully bold of you to assume we're going to trust it's just about transparent water.
eternal haven
you can accept it, play on servers that allow you to mod it, cheat, or just not play tf2
potent wolf
playing hvh for better water
eternal haven
If you wanted to you could mod the water shader
shaders aren't a consideration for sv_pure
I'm not sure whether that would be considered cheating or not
but you may do it if you want
the water is more than just the water shader though so you may not be able to get your desired effect
elfin isle
I'll ask ChatGPT how to do it.

I don't hate casual players, I don't love competitive players.
I think tf2 has really good skill expression on nuanced execution of simple mechanics, which tickles my head raisin. I think 6s lets me develop and express that skill expression the best so I enjoy it and play it the most.
Highlander lets me use my brain more, which as a veteran player I enjoy as well.
Casual is casually fun, which I enjoy as well.
They all coexist and can coexist perfactly fine, IDK what the conversation of exclusivity around one is.
summer steeple
exactly
high current
I think Valve could have done more to support TF2's competitive community, they chose to invest their resources into Valve Comp, which wasn't executed well and they didn't listen to their beta feedback that the recieved.
I think if they had invested those resources into a prize pool for the Insomnia lan, or maybe even down the line they invested it into an RGL or ETF2L lan, that would have done more for both the casual and competitive community.
But that's easy to say with a decade of hindsight and watching dozens of other games launch successful esports.

yeah valve without a doubt failed at making tf2 comp more popular
idk if i'd say it was the wrong decision to try and do what they did, but they failed at it impressively

You'd run into issues with people trying to pad stats to game the system, but generally including a weighting system for wins / losses and updating algorithms help with that.
Even just raw win statistics is a decent metric, but I also hate that, I feel like it breeds toxicicty. Individual performance is easier to manipulate and more prone to inaccuracy, but results in less toxicity.
