this is lunacy. crate prices are spiking, marketplace tf is holding all unusual sales

what the FUCK valve

reverted most of the experimental settings per mastercomms request. there was some miscommunication (my fault) and i assumed she had finished testing them, when they were actually WIP (whoops).

That commit is here

also i reorganized the configs so that they take up less space, instead of the old style of

(=> meaning "executes", using the koth config as an example)

=> tfcl_6s_koth => tfcl_6s_base => tfcl_6s_custom

its now going to be

=> tfcl_6s_koth => tfcl_6s_base => tfcl_base & tfcl_6s_custom

saves a lot more on file space having 1 large base config instead of having 3 large base configs

that commit is here

also re: host_framerate 0:

it's literally set by default in tf2 to 0 and it has been in comp configs since as far back as i can look

re: tv_enable:

it's completely nonnegotiable that this command is staying in, i cant fathom why you would want me to turn off stv in a competitive setting

re: stv port and all the other hostname/tvname settings:

all but tv_port are in custom.cfgs, which means that people can (and should) change them to what they want. i've removed the "dont change these" lines, though

i've moved tv_port to custom, but it's commented.

final commit for that is here

i appreciate all your feedback by the way, please let me know if there's any issues

added a few new commands to try to help with optimization and better hitreg, shoutouts (again) to mastercomms

https://github.com/TheSqrtMinus1/NEW-tfcl-configs/commit/a8c7a5f42faca49363a122d2cb832ca6d2b509b7

let me know if theres any issues or if you notice hitreg being better or worse

this is the best thread on this whole site. Thank you.

Hey yall,

I've managed many tf2 servers over the years, and there's something that really bugs me-

The UGC Configs.

And every config based on them.

They suck. They haven't been updated in years, they have weird broken STV settings if you properly unexec, the networking in them is outdated and awful, the naming scheme is kinda weird, etc.

So, I decided to make new ones.

Introducing-

The NEW TFCL Configs

These are brand new, from scratch, modern configs. They were originally designed for the relaunch of TFCL, and I've decided to publicly announce their existence because I'm very tired of dealing with the crusty old UGC/RGL configs. Almost every line is commented with an explanation of what it does. There are NO unused commands (except for tftrue lines if you don't have it installed), and the network settings are tuned to be as competitive as possible without preventing lower internet spec'd players from playing.

Furthermore, there are separate configs for scrims and matches for 5cp, as a large portion of people change winlimit to 5 in their configs already anyway.

I have done a lot of personal testing with these configs, in my own highlander/6s scrims. Please give them a try and let me know if there's anything that should be changed.

Download is here:

Please read the README first, it goes over some important things.

I'll try to get these on serveme asap. They are already live on cpu.tf servers, and you're welcome to put them on your own servers.

I'm also considering forking Miggy's old plugin (RIP) to try to force consistency on every sever but I'm not sure if there's any interest. Again, let me know.

thanks to:

arie for answering a couple of my questions
mastercomms for helping me out a bit with networking settings

https://github.com/TheSqrtMinus1/better-tf2-server-configs <-- new link, old ones are all broke

last chance ascent

I've had fullscreen opts disabled since like 2018, it still just instacrashes which sucks. im just using vibranceGUI at this point because it's not going to change fps at all and it actually works, unlike reshade

do everything in this little github snippet from mastercomms (here)

reinstall/update graphics drivers

verify game files

completely remove your custom folder (you can rename it to have a _ at the end and it wont be read by tf2, also works)

if none of that works try literally just deleting the team fortress 2 folder and just reinstall from scratch

post your cfg/custom if that doesnt work

how tf do u install this (reshade) for tf2 without it instantly crashing lol

reshade requires dx9 right

ok so i've been a little busy- here's an update log:

added sourcebans to all the servers, you can find the bans page here, has all the bans from the old server etc.

added the server hop plugin back from the old dm servers

changed the whitelist to
- wrap assassin
+pain train
+shahansha

and also i removed all the annoying noisemaker shit, pyrovision, explode on death things, blah blah blah

heres a link to the new whitelist

no cozy camper because i thought about it and it seems like it'd just be obnoxious

thanks, and have fun

this seem reasonable?

-wrap assassin
+pain train
+cozy camper
+shahansha

last 2 are only going to matter for the sniper server
