Wait, Valve will actually quickly update maps for revisions like these? From community devs?

That's neato.

It should still work unless they've further restricted the motion blur settings since the beta, but it DOES force full motion blur to be on (motion_blur_strength is restricted), which will probably make you nauseous. Not worth it imo. Use viewmodel_fov and viewmodel_minmode.

no this isn't a hud developer dating thread fun as that might be

assuming your HUD is 100% up to date just before MYM was launched, here's what you need to do.

note: this guide is not friendly to those that don't understand hud development. don't try what you're about to see unless you're confident. wait for your hud to be updated.

here's a full list of diffs for the MYM update (edit: heres a better one), proceed to update with those changes as you normally would.

after all that you're going to need to adapt your hud to the new versioning system, which is going to make custom huds fifty times better for end users. for now, you're going to just need to add this file to the root directory of your hud (for example, for an already-installed yayahud, it would be under tf/custom/yayahud/).

for those who don't want to download a file (hurr viruses) just make a blank file in notepad called info.vdf with these contents:

"customhud"
{
	"ui_version"	"1"
}

edit the file and replace "customhud" with the name of your root folder (for example, "yayahud").

you're going to need to update this file whenever valve pushes a UI revision before your users will be able to use their custom huds with the new version of TF2. i assume that valve will be conveying these version increments going forward, but that's just my guess.

i tested all of this successfully when updating yayahud, so these steps should work for everyone else too. if something doesn't work for you though feel free to drop a note here, and if you figure anything else out i'd be happy to add it to the op.

don't expect any until at the very earliest tomorrow.

this is a BIG fucking update hud-wise, you don't even know

theres a difference between this kind of backcap

and this one

I think it goes without saying that literally no HUDs are ready for this update.

It's going to take me a little bit. Play with the stock HUD tonight, boys.

they care

or do they

Did it actually say neato? I'm on vacation so I don't exactly have TF2 open

Look man, I understand the feeling of being burnt out on TF2. We've lost so many important community members (rip lange) because of the lack of support we've received these nine years. But that being said, this is the best chance competitive TF2 has ever had. The fucking base game is being transformed to a casual mode with a competitive mindset and structure. The game is being vastly rebalanced. Competitive Matchmaking is in the game and it's fucking official for EVERYONE, not just the insiders that knew how to get a pass.

This is a big deal, and while I understand you might be a little let down from what you see so far, wouldn't it be best to at least wait for the fucking patch notes before complaining?

I think we should wait for the update's weapon rebalances before we start crying about rebalances.

YES

I just realized how many huge updates are happening today...

TF2's MYM update, Rust is launching its XP update (biggest update ever), Evolve is going F2P today, and fuck I just got a notification that Unturned pushed an update.

Plus if you want to factor in Factorio's 0.13 update this week... It's a good time to be alive.

To be fair, the Map Workshop already did allow this. It's just a shame no leagues used it.

Congrats on going official though! I remember casting Sunshine when it was mostly dev textures and props didn't even have collision.

Well I literally guarantee they'll break when the update hits but they aren't disallowed in competitive, they'll just need to be updated.
