I just did some Googling and it seems that CUtlLinkedList overflow! (exhausted index range) is not limited to TF2, but is an error message you can get in any Source-based game. This thread seems to indicate that improperly referenced sprites quickly flood entity data, which would make it logical that quickly fired scattergun shots would make the game crash more quickly than individual pistol shots. Then the game would proceed to stop drawing any entities altogether because it's still trying to work on the tracers. My best guess is that someone at Valve rewrote something which calls for the tracer sprites and either made a typo or didn't reference the full sprite name.

Which brings up another question: If you have tracers enabled, do the tracers ever actually appear before you crash, or do you never see any tracers? If you don't see any tracers at all, I'd say that someone made a bit of a catastrophic typo and the game is desperately trying to draw tracers and it can't find them. This would also explain why pipes and rockets are fine.

N.B. I had to ask a friend what all of this means after I found that thread and he had very little time, so please don't have an aneurysm if I used any inappropriate jargon or if the way I worded things isn't strictly correct in programming terms. I am not a very good programmer and have no experience with game engines.

I like the new design, but there are some other things I would like to see and some things I don't like as much.

• The Twitter/YouTube/Twitch links in the footer should go in the header, in my opinion; in-between the forums and profile buttons. The odds that someone is going to scroll down all the way(the footer floats, it's not fixed) and actually read those links are quite small. It also looks professional to have your media listed in a prominent place.
  
• A preview button on the forums would be nice.
  
• I would personally remove the bar with the TFTV logo at the top of the homepage, but keep it for other pages. This will increase the size of the homepage significantly and create space for what's in the paragraphs below.

I think that any person new to the website is going to think this is "just another TF2 forum/just another casting organisation". While this may at one point have been true, TFTV has now grown to be the major international hub for TF2 and the homepage should reflect this. Something I've always felt has been missing on the homepage are guides for the greenest of green players.

What I think the homepage should do is peak the interest of the average sort-of-interested pubber. You essentially need informative clickbait. I would suggest a flashy bar at the top of the homepage(but below the header) which would read something along the lines of "New to competitive TF2? Click the links below to find out more!" and then have buttons or just links right below that saying "6vs6", "9vs9 (Highlander)", "2vs2 (Ultiduo)" linking to a relevant thread on the forums which is essentially a beginner's guide with information on the format, rules and leagues with further links to more specific guides.

I, apparently like many others, also feel that the events on the homepage should come back, because then it looks like the community has something going on.

Good work overall, though. I could easily list many changes I like than I dislike.

P.S. On an entirely unrelated note: 6s should probably have a name like "Highlander" or "Ultiduo". Even if it's just "Classic" or "Standard" or something, I think it would make sense since the other formats do have names. It's odd how you only notice those things when you see them written down, sometimes...

Nice edit, fun combination of different weapons and maps.

Yes, you can get into house by way of sliding over the stone ramp from main; you will however be well over 3 seconds slower at firing your first sticky than a demoman doing the smoking barn pogo rollout to mid if both rollouts are performed optimally. However, if you were to remove the smoking barn it still wouldn't matter. On version b11f(it doesn't have the barn but it does have the shutter), I crash into the shutter 50% of the time, 25% of the time the door just doesn't seem to want to open because it's on Valve time or something and the other 25% you will surf through. Sadly, the latter is usually when you don't have optimal speed and you will only get half-way through the house, again adding vital walking time and making it hard to be competitive with the choke rollout.

Logjam doesn't have to have a choke available for the demo rollout, of course; it's your map and not all maps should have the same build. Process is one of my favourite maps and it only has choke as a viable rollout route too. All maps are different and that's a good thing, otherwise there is no point in having different maps and we would just play 24/7 cp_badlands and probably get bored!

It won't open fast enough for you to surf through the doorway right on top of or very close to the health pack, which adds literally seconds of walking time from shutter to the health pack to your rollout. You also can't do it from the smoking barn side any more because the barn is in the way, which is making it slower yet again.

The house rollout was already one to two seconds slower than the fast choke rollout when you could still do it from the smoking barn side, so it makes it practically unviable to do the house rollout for demoman now; it's just futile because the other demoman doing fast choke rollout can get a sticky onto your exit without having to guess where you're going to pop out, as he can put two or even three down to cover all of the exits by the time you get to lower exit or ramp exit.

Nice to see this is still getting worked on, kudos.

I noticed you've added what I would call a smoking barn and a shutter, on the far right and left of this picture respectively. While I'm sure this makes sense from a gameplay perspective with sniper lines and spamming and all that, I'm kind of disappointed that these have now nullified the demoman rollout into house; both from main and from the smoking barn side. I always like to see maps which have at least one flank as a viable rollout for the demoman, besides choke.

I liked this rollout specifically because it allowed you to either go up the ramp from house to middle(maybe even taking the healthpack in shack) or go lower, take the pack in house next to lower exit and surprise the other demoman. Now you can really only go to middle as demoman, which is just making the demoman battle a bit stale. If you went through lower you could surprise the other demoman with your positioning and get closer to him, then go left under the bridge and join up with your medic there while the bridge protects you from projectiles(a bit like going through elbow to meet up with your medic on Gullywash middle). Just some food for thought, I guess.

Does anyone know what the event name for Vaccinator übers is? The little bars all change colour when you get a "quarter über" and the number ticks up, so I assume there must be a name for it somewhere, even if I can't find it.

And I guess on a more general note: Is there a way to find the name of any event you're curious about outside of looking it up somewhere on the Internet or finding it in hudanimations_tf? Thank you in advance.

I can't seem to be able to get Low Ammo Pulse to work with the latest version. AmmoInClip and AmmoInReserve both switch to their "low" colour counterparts, but there is no pulse back and forth. HudAnimations_tf reads as follows:

If I replace this with my own script, the ammo pulses but it refuses to stop pulsing once the ammo is replenished. Is anyone else having this problem with the latest version? Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Never mind, now I'm not in a rush to get out of the house I realise that what's above just changes the colour and doesn't actually make it pulse, silly me. My apologies.

What a monster; both the mech and Kuvira, damn boy.

Thank you for all of the entertaining finals and seasons in general to mix^ and their players over the years, good luck to all of you.

If you want a decent quality power supply, I implore you to check who the actual manufacturer(often listed as the Original Equipment Manufacturer) of the power supply series is. A very large portion of PSU producers don't actually make the PSUs themselves and will use units from various manufacturers. This means that you can get great variety in quality between series of the same producer; some of them actually use this as a marketing tool by using very good and expensive manufacturers' units for their high-end products and lesser quality, cheaper units for their lower-end products. This way they can still have a good name(most of the press is usually focused on the more expensive products a company sells), while cutting costs on the bulk of the products they sell. Conversely, some very cheap power units made by primary and secondary producers you've never heard of might actually be really good, but this is always a bit more risky if you don't know anything about said producers.

I have personally always used PSUs manufactured by SeaSonic and have never had any problems with them. They also supply a lot of units to Antec and Corsair, but just check who the OEM is before you buy anything sold by a secondary manufacturer. Also, if you're charmed by "be quiet" brand PSUs it is even more important to do this check, as they have an enormous disparity in quality between different models within the same product series, which is very peculiar... especially since they are quite a large and reputed brand; other companies in the same quality tier tend not to do this.

Hope that helps.

Well, that was quick. Thanks to the players, casters, streamers, production crew and sponsors.

Thanks Sideshow. I'm curious to see the match.

It was said previously the season would have 13 episodes.

I think that is partly due to the nostalgia others have mentioned, as ATLA had many problems of its own: Unsettled story lines(they did release the comics eventually), an insignificant plot device(Aang didn't really solve anything if you think about it) which was then solved by a deus ex machina(energy bending) which they had time to prepare for throughout the entire last book but only introduced at the end, etcetera. What ATLA did have was a bunch of nice philosophical ideas and the characters to represent and vocalise those thoughts.

I think the money should go towards a lesson in the usage of commas.
