- Fixed teleporter particle effects (community fix from 'Jakub' (ficool2))
- Updated/Added some tournament medals

- Updated cp_altitude
- Increased size of C capture area
- Reduced initial round timer from 6 to 5 minutes
- Increased max round timer length from 6 to 8 minutes
- Increased Blu respawn wave time on A from 3 to 4
- Increased Red respawn wave time on C from 8 to 9
- Reduced Blu respawn wave time on C from 3 to 2
- Various visual fixes and adjustments

- Updated koth_cascade
- Various player and projectile collision fixes
- Various visual fixes and adjustments
- Adjusted resupply locker positions

- Updated cp_steel
- Fixed missing glass from bullet blocked windows
- Removed some more ceiling light collisions
- Improved clipping around B -> C building
- Small safety improvement to Blu flank balcony to B
- Some extra block bullets around B floor

- Updated pl_phoenix
- Increased Red respawn wave time on D from 8 to 9
- Fixed projectile collision bug around the payload elevator track
- Fixed a case where the payload cart could get stuck at the base of the elevator
- Various clipping fixes
- Various visual fixes

- Updated vsh_distillery, vsh_tinyrock, vsh_nucleus, vsh_skirmish
- The script no longer forces mp_winlimit and mp_maxrounds to 0
- Community servers now can expand the Script by creating a new file at scripts/vscripts/vsh_addons/main.nut

- The Diamondback now gains 2 guaranteed crits upon backstab

Rumor has it:

- Playback of POV demos created before this update is broken. A previous version branch named "pre_07-25-23_demos" was put up by Valve early in the evening on 7/26/23 for those who want or need to view a demo recorded before this update
- To opt in, right-click on TF2 in your Steam library, then click Properties, then go to the Betas tab, and select pre_07-25-23_demos from the dropdown. (size when opting in is a bit over 225 MB)
- This does come at the cost of losing both the pre_jungleinferno_demos and the pre_smissmas_2022_demos branches however - the former was re-made for a very short while before being removed again. If you need either of these builds, you'll have to resort to using DepotDownloader and feeding it period-correct manifest IDs

- Size is ~210 MB

I backed up my files and compared after updating. Here's a package that fixes demos for me. Idk exactly what in these files does the trick though.

Remember to verify your files again if you're done watching demos

A previous version branch was put up earlier in the evening named "pre_07-25-23_demos" for those who need it. Currently holding off on mentioning it on Twitter/X/whatever the hell the Muskrat wants to call it right now due to tornado-capable severe thunderstorms, but I figure I might as well mention it here sooner rather than later since you guys are most impacted by POV demo breakage.
https://steamdb.info/app/440/history/?changeid=19676660

This does come at the cost of the "pre_smissmas_2022_demos" previous version branch, however, and it also appears that the "pre_jungleinferno_demos" branch was deleted and then re-made, so there's a sliiight chance if you were on that branch you may have been kicked off of it and may need to go opt in to it again. https://steamdb.info/app/440/history/?changeid=19676640

Edit: correction, the pre_jungleinferno_demos is in fact gone too. It was re-made, and then removed a bit under 45 seconds later. You'll have to resort to using DepotDownloader and throwing period-correct manifest IDs at it for those two if you still need access to those builds.

I hope they weren't removed for good just so we can have 2 beta branches. Edit: theyve put them back
