You need to edit the file paths to make it work for you.
The closecaption_english.txt file you want to have compiled needs to be in tf/resource

It's times played not hours played, so I think it's way more than that many hours

my friend recently reinstalled tf2 and his views were reset, so I guess it's from last install. I think the file is used to know if you've played that map before so it can inform you about any gamemode rules. koth, cp, plr, pl etc

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\media\viewed.res

idk when the count started or if it has been reset when I've reinstalled my game but my most played is badlands at 376

here is part two of my frag movie

Who/what is Tony Swan. Because when I play Zombie Master back in the day, that was the default name. Is it just a generic name like Joe Bloggs?
