Metanet's Team Fortress 2 Thread!

[T3chno]

Valve switched the default hand the Huntsman is on. ;-; I loved the original position (I'm a lefty). But since they added a lefty/righty option, ALL the weapons get switched over. That's not cool.

Valve switched the default hand the Huntsman is on. ;-; I loved the original position (I'm a lefty). But since they added a lefty/righty option, ALL the weapons get switched over. That's not cool.

Here's a fix for you!

Code: Select all

alias "flip" "flip_on"
alias "flip_on" "cl_flipviewmodels 1; alias flip flip_off"
alias "flip_off" "cl_flipviewmodels 0; alias flip flip_on"
bind "f" "flip"

Put the above script into your autoexec file, change the bind "key" to whatever you want, and you have an instant switch between the two view models. Not only handy for those used to the old huntsman model, but also for quick switching to inch sentry nests with Soldier and Demo!

If you've never messed with scripts before, you'll need to do the following:

First, you'll need to create the autoexec file. To do so, open notepad and save as 'autoexec.cfg', making sure you select 'all file types' before you do.

Then move the folder to: Steam > Steamapps > Username > Team Fortress 2 > tf > cfg.

Put any general scripts in the autoexec file (class specific need to be in the specific class folders).

Hope that helped.

By the way, guys, I'll (eventually) be placing a mod on the server that allows you to use a bind for alltalk even if alltalk is disabled. This'll effectively allow for both teamtalk and alltalk on the server. :D

You're a genius.

Content Edit: The airblast and force-a-nature not knocking back disguised spies does not make sense mechanically or in the gameplay sense. wtf?

Actually, it does. You've never been able to juggle disguised spies using the rocket launcher or the sticky launcher, so it makes sense gameplay wise.

That said, I really disagree with this nerf to the airblast, since one of the best ways as a pyro to stop a spy getting a chain of stabs is to airblast him so that he can't backstab your teammates and then kill him, which, in my opinion, shows a good pyro player. Unfortunately, now you have to W+M1 the spy, while the spy can still get a few backstabs. Not sure if I agree or disagree about the nerf with regard to the FaN.

Well, then, I think they should have let you use rockets and stickies to knock away spies!

[T3chno]

No worries, Slappy, Valve just removed that in their latest update.

EDIT: OH NOES. THE RECENT UPDATE ALSO BLOCKED THE FLIP MODEL THING THAT ATOB MADE ;-;.

By the way, guys, I'll (eventually) be placing a mod on the server that allows you to use a bind for alltalk even if alltalk is disabled. This'll effectively allow for both teamtalk and alltalk on the server. :D

I've put the plugin on the server, so I'll put the instructions on how to use it here. Put the following at the end of config.cfg, located by default in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<username>\team fortress 2\tf\cfg:

Code: Select all

alias +alltalk "voiceall; +voicerecord"
alias -alltalk "-voicerecord; voiceall"
bind f +alltalk

Or substitute 'f' for whatever key you want to activate alltalk.

I got TF2!
I found the Metanet server!
I have a ping in the high 400s!
Nobody is in the server!

I usually rile up a crowd, but I am sans PC attm.

Hey, I'll join. Join the IRC or PM me if you wanna start one up.

[kirby]

Hey, I'm thinking of buying TF2 soon (hopefully my PC is compatible) and I was pleasantly surprised to see that there's even a MetaNet server up for it! I hope to play with you guys there soon... if I buy it. I probably will. :)

[SlappyMcGee]

Oh, I should say. Starting at the end of the month, my server won't be available anymore. I'm taking it down because it was costing me twenty dollars a month, of which Dave donated a grand total of ten dollars to one month, and I've otherwise received no financial support. I'm also currently sans a computer that can run team fortress 2, so it really was not beneficial for me to keep it up. Sorry, guys.

[t̷s͢uk̕a͡t͜ư]

It's been completely empty every time I've looked at it anyway. We'd actually need to promote outside of the community for it to be popular. Or populated, anyway. At all.

I used to get it pretty full, but I haven't had a PC in months.

CLASSLESS UPDATE

NEW HATS

NEW MAP

WOOO

[smartalco]

I still haven't actually got any of the fuckin' hats ;_;

[bufar]

Me neither. Hell, I still haven't gotten all of the weapons yet. But I have four Huntsmen and two Nataschas.

[T3chno]

Fancy Fedora and the sniper hat for me so far. The new spy hat is just the fedora but a little rounder. However, the new soldier and engineer hats are a must get.

[t̷s͢uk̕a͡t͜ư]

There are few items I don't have (actually, come to think of it, I do believe I have all of them), but all I ever get is more copies of items I already have.
I played 30+ hours last week, and about as many in weeks past. This week looks like it's going to keep that trend.
Still no fucking hats.
Shit is bogus.

[Luminaflare]

new update with 18 new hats.

[Zephyr]

OMG I WANTS HATS.
ALL YOUR HATS ARE BELONG TO ZEPHYR.

None-;_;

*edit* I'm going to try arena offblast tommorow.

[T3chno]

Day 2 of Update:

New game mode: King of the Hill [KotH]
New KotH map: Viaduct. It's a snow map!

Plus might wanna change the title thread to "Official TF2 Thread" since there's not a server anymore.

[SlappyMcGee]

Are you seriously excited about this update? It seems kind of procedural to me. :/
