If you upload the UGC config files to your \tf\cfg folder on your server and execute the correct config file for the right map/gametype the whitelist and settings will all be correctly loaded.

To only update the whitelist file, make sure you download the newest on the UGC website and upload it as item_whitelist_ugc_HL.txt (or 4v4 or 6v6 instead of HL) in the same \tf\cfg folder as where the config files are stored. UGC configs will now use the new whitelist file when executed.

Executing the whitelist manually (with a custom one for instance) is possible by uploading the whitelist .txt file to the cfg folder and changing the loaded whitelist file with the following console command:

rcon mp_tournament_whitelist "cfg/whitelist_filename.txt"
rcon mp_tournament_restart

If your server is running TFTrue you can use whitelist.tf and enter the whitelist ID in TFTrue with 'tftrue_whitelist_id' to have a custom (or updated league) whitelist on your server.

I'm editing the default hud to my liking but I can't seem to align the positive health pickups/regen to the right of their bounding box so I can position it just to the left of my health plus.

textAlignment (east/right), pincorner, changing the hudanimations_tf 'ResourcePickup' with r0 did nothing, how do I get this text to align to the right?

Some updates by Valve forced me to make some changes on whitelist.tf

• Taunts are now displayed per class and have icons
  
• Weapons have item attributes and descriptions displayed
  
• Automatic updating of item sprite and CSS for up to icons

[/olist]
Besides the changes on the website there has been a lot of progress/changes/support/whitelists generated since the last post. serveme.tf and TFTrue fully support whitelist.tf and always guarantee the newest whitelist files on your server if an ID is set in your reservation or the convar:

tftrue_whitelist_id

CEVO, ozfortress, WirePlay, MEfortress all use whitelist.tf for their whitelists files in their configs.

Planned feature is a Steam Login so you can keep track of the whitelists you've generated and add your own descriptions so you can keep a list of favorite whitelists. Also multi-language support would be a fun extra to have I guess.

A textual representation of the allowed/blocked weapons and filtering only the allowed/blocked weapons will be added first, so TF2 Leagues can finally have complete and correct ban lists for items/weapons instead of the garbage most leagues have in their rules at the moment.

There is chat history for the TF2C lobbies iirc, if a leader mentions a different whitelist and possibly posts a whitelist.tf link to show the unlocks to the joining players why would it need a password?

Also, who is stopping me from using a UGC, CEVO or Wireplay whitelist with ETF2L/TF2C class limits if my server is set up like that? ;)

Everyone knows that most Team Fortress 2 Leagues lack up to date whitelist files most of the times, so your newest hat, jacket, weapon reskin or taunt can't be equipped on the day Valve releases an update with new items.

whitelist.tf will respect the item and weapon bans set by the league whitelists (if you pick a preset from one of the leagues) and allows you to modify this with a couple of clicks to allow new weapons to play-test them in lobbies/mixes/scrims while also updating all the allowed/blocked Cosmetic items. Reskins will automatically be allowed if the original version of the weapon is.

If your server is running TFTrue you can use the following console variable to change the whitelist on the fly (works for public servers too if TFTrue is installed!)

tftrue_whitelist_id <ID>

Running TFTrue on your server allows for instant switching of your whitelists, without needing FTP access to upload the newest version of any whitelist file generated on whitelist.tf and is always up to date with the newest version of the Valve itemscheme whilst respecting original weapon/item bans.

Example
ETF2L S18 6v6 whitelist with ID 866 => allow B.A.S.E. Jumper & Back Scatter => Generate => ID 1150

To update the ETF2L whitelist from the start of the season to the current version with all allowed taunts you end up with 1155.

Use this ID for the TFTrue convar and play-test with the new weapons or link the whitelist to the people on your server/friends list to show which items and weapons are allowed or banned on your server.

(Allowing all new weapons and taunts on the S18 whitelists resulted in ID 1152)

DaMeiN, at the moment we have a restriction that you need an ETF2L profile to be able to play. This is so we have some way to detect possible 'skill' based on team/match history and we have a consistent user name (so we don't need to use/filter Steam user names). Also there are only 10 European servers and no NA/AU/SA servers/support yet.

If there are more TF2 Leagues with APIs to figure out a skill/div/team rank and consistent user names we can add those to be one of the 'required' leagues to create an account to keep track of your pickup history.

Currently we only have European Servers at our disposal from Simrai.

The whitelist doesn't have many unlocks, only 10. And the amputator instead of the overdose for the medic...

Hopefully they have some talent over there so we can see some decent matches!

This is why any league admin should contact me after generating the new whitelist for their season, I can update the preset to the new ID, everyone then downloads/sees the newest version of the whitelist for their league and game mode.

But UGC seemed to be kind of childish in their responses when I asked them anything about their whitelist. The new one should be http://whitelist.tf/109 (and your url needs some http:// in the tag)

So the whitelist was http://whitelist.tf/106

Whitelist generation on whitelist.tf is working now.
- Changed menu with the presets
- Added a bunch of presets (ozfortress, AziaFortress, Wireplay, CEVO)
- added the requested 'allow new items added to tf2' setting
- working 'Show reskin' toggle
- direct download of the .txt files possible
- updated the help and about pages

Please create new whitelists and please report any bugs you might encounter (and what you did so I can reproduce the error). Any positive/negative feedback or feature requests are also welcome.

That would be a thing I should add; then you can have a lobby config based on a league config and automatically allow all new hats/miscs/actions/weapons without having to regenerat the same whitelist, although the latter would respect the reskins and new added weapons.

Working on displaying and managing of the reskins now, that is why you can't generate custom whitelists yet.

The whole point of this whitelist generator is to have some say in the weapons being allowed/banned though console (which can only be done by setting mp_tournament_whitelist with a valid whitelist file and restarting the tournament mode to 'parse' this whitelist)

You can not block stock weapons with a whitelist (believe me, I've tried), the game won't allow this and you'll end up with an error line in console and the stock weapon in your hands. I can't be done without a sourcemod plugin (the reason you need to install that when you want to ready steady pan on your server).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did not know about this tool, does it still work? But it requires installation (Windows) and not just a browser. And has only local presets with some exporting required if that hasn't changed. If everything works you can link everyone the whitelist you've generated, have them download it/preview it/modify it.

My tool can be converted to work on the server you're running TF2 if there is a apache webserver running there as well to generate the whitelist to a file and have it on the server ready to use in a lobby/mix.

Currently doing some reworking of the whole thing and getting a dedicated domain name.

A little teaser:

http://wiethoofd.info/meuk/whitelist_layout_presets.jpg

At launch it probably will only have the presets (a few more than in the screenshot) and possibly the ability to generate without sharing. Some more code needs to be written to handle presets and generated whitelists. :P The test version worked, but was very sloppy.

Planned features/ideas:
- Downloading of a whitelist .txt and a .cfg to set everything up on a server
- Support for medieval (?) (or at least a medieval preset)
- Ready Steady Pan preset (requires reskins to be deselected)
