Fixes Hammer thinking the inputs to it are broken o Mapmakers can now place Engineer buildings directly into a map, with an option for them to be invulnerable o Added "AddRedTeamScore" and "AddBlueTeamScore" inputs to tf_gamerules o Added "SetRequiredObserverTarget" input to tf_gamerules. Force spectators to use the specified viewpoint * Granary o Added setup time logic, and gates to the middle o Fixed an overlay alignment bug on one of blue's gate signs o Minor lighting fixes in red/blue spawns * 2Fort o Added medium ammo and health to basement hallways o Added small ammo and health to top of spiral o Fixed a clip brush exploit outside blue sniper deck o Fixed number "2" overlay on front of red base not being assigned to the brush face The spy shock if that was too long - no more tele effects trailing after them - I guess that means now that we no longer have to yell at IDIOT spies  - Oh fuck that means AgrippA will be around the front lines a lot quicker...ALSO Disguised spies can capture and defend cp's...watch out for Dustbowl 3-2 now!!!!

You missed the biggest update from valve mate :/ If you are running the server on windows server 2003 you cant run a server with more than 2 people before it hangs , does nt crash hangs the process at 100% cpu use  w00t w00t valve glad to see ya on the ball again Its just taken an hour to recover the server from 100% cpu on the two servers running. Some server admins are requesting hard resets from there re sellers to get back into their boxes. Pure class valve. I can feel hair loss on a donic proportion coming on. *Edit* new update to fix absolutely nothing still crashing - passworded the servers till a fix comes out.

Also im not 100% sure but im reliably infored that the backstab animation has been speeded up. I assume itd sortof referenced in this line:: Quote * Added new attack animations to most melee weapons Anyway, ill test extensivly tonight. If its true AND the spys now using teleporters than quite frankly you are all in the shit... Anyone had a burn on payload ye? i saw teh intro video for it on youtube earlier and the ending to the 3rd map looks cool. Edited by agrippa on 30-04-2008 08:58 |

Awesome. Also, tf_gamerules in map, finally. |

they left the achievements unlockable by teh dev console so you can create a script to complete all teh achievements without ever going into a game. I have no shame in saying ive done this so i don have to play medic for hours on end and piss everyone off. Anyone wants a how-to, gimmie a shout on steam. Edited by agrippa on 30-04-2008 10:27 |

Pfft as per valve borked any addons/mods any nore S-OP uses to manage a single server nevermind a host of them..... I no longer get surpised by this after 8 years , but it still makes me weep - such a simple thing as a night of beta testing would remove all this bad press and looking like a 3rd rate whore house without any prossie in it. *Edit* Oh servers are up and running, how good they will run under the new load problems will have to wait and see. Not working - MetaMod and SourceMod , so no stats , no adimn etc. Edited by Clever Idiot on 30-04-2008 10:52 |

AgrippA - there is no need to run a script, you can write 3 lines and get all the weapons. Actually, I'm kind of half-tempted to run the lines for the achievement milestones and leave the rest to complete normally for fun. I do play medic...but as and when needed basis. I think the unlocking of weapons has been poorly implemented, and I do not want to particularly participate in the medic parties. Therefore, may be I'll unlock the weapons and this will give me the options of completing the main achievements properly. And before anyone cries cheat, cheat...it's nothing of the sort, you don't even need to type in "sv_cheats 1" to do it. click-> <-clickJoin me in Tribes 2: [url]https://account.hirezstu |

im sure ppl will cry cheat cheat but tbh i dont care. i dont feel its any differnt than standing on a server and padding ou thte achievement which i was helping ppl do earlier. Its a personal thing, when spy comes along ill feel an element of professional pride in trying to get all the unlocks but the other classes im not so fussed. Perhaps if the dev console route isnt fixed its a tacit nod from valve that its ok (but i doubt they will leave it). |

Check your PM Rebel - I don't know why I'm being secretive about it, it's all over the official forums and no-one has locked those threads.

i gotta admit that i too will never ever get all the achievements done, im glad if i even get the crit medigun. I will try to get it the legal way but if i cant ill search for the unlock commands. Critzreag or how it was typed sounds soo much fun. |

I won't lie: I think I'm gonna go for the console option. Frankly, it sounds ideal. I DO want to get all the unlocks legit, cause I find it fun to play medic. But at the same time I just can't wait to try out the new weapons. I gotta say I'm pretty pleased with this functionality. It's definately gonna keep me out of stat padding.
