Hey guys, I appreciate your enthusiasm and support and all, but... I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker! You're requesting faster than I can work ;A;

Oh god Acooma, I spent a lot of time on yours, hope you like it.

@Jarrett, can you pick a different map/setting? Metalworks doesn't have an HDR map, so it looks like this in SFM and there's nothing I can do about it:

@Tomu, what do you want to be painted indubitably green? The stock hat?

Having some delays with yours Azrax, have to fix something with SFM's particle system.

Yours is done moosie, it's in the first post. Doing Azrax's now.

This refers to BLU/RED.

Just a fair word of warning, koth_badlands and cp_badlands are both broken in SFM and cause an instant CTD, so I have to position you on arena_badlands. So, there won't be a control point.

Hey all, I was bored one night so I started taking requests for SFM screenshots involving peoples' loadouts (characters). I figured I might as well have some fun and extend it to TF.TV members. So, if you wanna get a high res (4K PNG + dmx) picture of your loadout/class/whatever, just fill out this quick form.

I have begun accepting commissions again, but I'm now charging for anything above the original standard of one character on a map of your choosing on either mid or any point I see fit. Anything more takes a lot of time from me to work on, so I'd like a very slight compensation at the least for the amount of effort I put into these.

Awesome, message me here, on steam, or email me

if you ever want to get in touch.

Sounds great to me. Make it an option when creating a lobby, "shuffle" or "organized". If "shuffle", rather than show which team needs which class on the browser, just show the number of that class needed.

You need a report system that's a little more varied. For example, report for being bad, report for leaving, report for never showing, gentle report just to get a new player (tech issues being communicated via mumble), report for harassment. These kinds of reports should be tallied in the profile. Leaving should count as ragequit. Never showing should be reliability. Being bad should be its own system that shows flags once this happens too often from multiple reports in multiple games, so players can tell if someone is just going to fuck around. Gentle reports shouldn't be able to be executed by players ingame, but rather by the actual person themselves (targeting themselves) from the lobby webpage. That way, if they can't get into TF2 or something else is going on, they can immediately request a sub with no penalty to themselves (tech issues are bound to crop up).

I just want to tag on with my personal experience that happened a few days ago.

I was in an NA HL lobby, it was on Viaduct. I played Medic and was rolling kritz. I pushed up to mid with my team (via comms) and kritzed the demo, who was in mumble along with everyone else, but wasn't talking. Instead of spamming out the enemy combo that was holding behind rock along with all of the rest of their teammates (blatantly stupid), the demo focused on the engie that was wrenching (and missing every shot, mind) close up. The entire kritz was wasted because the demo spammed at his feet and tried to kill the engie, missing every time. Of course, I called out the demo for it in mumble, but I wasn't overly aggressive. Everyone else saw and started name calling and other immature shit.

By the time we respawned (the demo ended up getting the engie at the very end of the kritz, but blew himself up with the same sticky), obviously we were needed by our team. The demo was trying to type in chat and apologize rather that hop on mic. Obviously he was a little frustrated. We lost the first round, so then round 2 begins.

Straight out of the gate, everyone attacks the demo in mumble and forces him to switch to heavy so a more experienced player can hop to demo. Fine by me, okay. But now the heavy stands outside spawn typing to us and trying to attack back, or defend himself, or whatever, rather than sucking it up and going back to playing the game. He also called us out for tryharding in a lobby, apparently. I guess not wanting to lose is tryharding. Anyway, eventually the team kicks the heavy off to engie by the end of the game, and we get a new heavy. Near the very end of the game, we hear crying on comms but we can't figure out who it is.

After the game, Center dumps everyone from the game into the same mumble channel and we say our GGs... But then the demo/heavy/engie starts speaking up. She had been crying on comms during the tail end and I really felt bad, so I apologized and left, not wanting to deal with the possible shitstorm.

Apparently the rest of the players all ganged up on her (even the one other girl in the match) and bullied her for playing poorly (demo is apparently her worst class and she was lobbying to get better), being a sore loser (wat), etc. It really took a toll on her. She added me to friends later that evening (like, 6 hours later; I was in the middle of a cast at the time) and we talked a lot about what happened. Apparently talking it out with her (supporting her, etc; I of course apologized because I'm not a dick) made her feel a lot better afterward, so that was nice.

It absolutely sickens me how hostile and immature the Center community is. I'm not really sure what's causing it to get so bad, but it's leading me to drift from doing lobbies to doing pugs and scrims. It's gotten worse than pubs. Sure, the OP's rant seems like a day gone bad and things are being exaggerated and whatnot, but I know what I saw and Center is beginning to sicken me.

Here's a test demo for you, whayay. Starts around wave 4/6 and lasts awhile. The only thing it doesn't show is sapper and med shield recharge bars.

EDIT: Wow I'm silly and didn't link it, here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/smsauy0vtajj79s/mvmtest.dem

Hey, is it just me or with the new flhud can you not see a medic's uber percentage as a Spy with the disguise kit? Also, can the scrollwheel weapon switch weapon showing be available as an option? I don't like being unable to see the weapon I'm switching to. I think you made this change within the past few days but I can't find the exact commit.

Also it appears that the tournament mode ready up symbols on the top aren't actually center aligned to the circle. I think the X is off by 3 or 4 pixels to the left. Might just be my resolution, 1600x900.

The placement of the KOTH timers is much better now, but maybe this is just me being upset that I have to remake my leaderboard for this new version, but I'd kinda like there to be some possible way for me to regain the old KOTH timers from the old FLV version. Which file has them in it, and would it be possible to make some kind of hybrid? Or maybe I could completely use the old spec HUD, since other things like advspec don't look right with the new one.

In the loadout menu, while you can left click and drag the player model to rotate, you can also right click and drag to zoom in/out and middle click and drag to reposition. Something tells me that isn't intended.
