#13 Frontline Community Update in Map Discussion

FubarAll the information that we have about how ctf plays out competitively is super dated. One thing that comes to mind is the player outline valve has added to flag carriers, it's probably not a big deal but I do wonder if that now gives out too much information for the game mode to be compelling in a competitive setting. picking up the flag puts you at a fairly large disadvantage.

The other question that's always at the back of my mind is "would this map make for a good spectator sport?". I don't know that tf2 ctf can be that. Ctf is definitively one of the modes that can drag on and I'm not sure how to address that... not to mention that caper outlines probably makes it harder to cap than in the early days of ctf_turbine.

As long as it's made to be faster paced, with smaller, more open maps and with short despawn times, I think it could make for a fairly interesting spectator sport. We'd get a lot of clutch cap or intel steal moments similar to what happened with bird noises and 8K, except for capping intel. Hell of a lot better than Valve's A/D that they're pushing on everyone in matchmaking.

We just need a new map that does it correctly, because pretty much none of the other CTF maps (even community ones) are catered towards 6s.

#11 Frontline Community Update in Map Discussion

trapster I'm just not sure what 6s needs at this point. maybe 5cp is our only salvation but I'm not really feeling up to it right now.
I think it would be kind of cool to have a CTF map that isn't plagued by tiny choke points or giant sniper sight lines. If you make a CTF map with wider corridors/choke points and you are able to reduce the timer for the dropped intelligence to 30 seconds, then CTF might play out well in competitive.

Frankly CTF has a lot of potential and I thoroughly enjoy the game mode, it's just that all TF2 CTF maps are shit. The only map that was ever decent and saw competitive use was Turbine Pro, but that only worked well with the HL format.

I'd love to see something like Doublecross but without all the chokes it has, and a little smaller.

Honestly 30 seconds is even too much. I would be perfectly fine with a fast-paced 15 second timer. I think pushes in 6s would work best if you couldn't fail a push and then get a full respawn and run all the way back and grab it again. It should be fast and dynamic, rather than static with level 3 sentries.

#133 yttrium's competitive viewmodels in Customization

Uks2yttriumthen lol there's a reason this doesn't work on Linux. Even if you were to try running it with WINE I think its DLLs are too deeply rooted in Win32 to load properly.

Again, just tell me what you want disabled and I'll make VPKs for you. It takes like, a single minute of my time.
Thanks for offering but I think it do it through a virtual machine or something, that way I know I can change it if need be.

Okay, then I'll make this easy for you. When looking for the "Team Fortress 2" folder it expects to find vpk.exe and studiomdl.exe under the Team Fortress 2/bin folder. It doesn't care about anything else. Now, those executables do need their corresponding dlls - so here's a zip of a Win32 bin folder. Much lighter than downloading a full TF2 install. Then just copy its output from tf/custom/compviewmodels.vpk.

#129 yttrium's competitive viewmodels in Customization

Paladin_IMSdo you think you could eventually center viewmodels with this as well? i'm not to familiar with smd files, otherwise i'd do it myself. This is as close as I could get using $origin in soldier_animations.qc, but i dont believe you can do this for each animation like you can with an smd edit:

as good as this looks, it applies for every soldier animation, and breaks reload and equip animations.

Yeah, what's going to have to happen is I'm gunna have to create alternate SMDs just for centering, and make that a separate option. It'll definitely happen but not for awhile. I'll probably use SFM if I can find a proper pipeline for that.

reeverrbHey, i have the same problem with the installer because i don't run windows. If you're already making a special vpk, one that hides
scout - primary, secondary
soldier - primary, secondary
demo - primary, secondary,
medic - secondary

would be amazing.

Thanks for all the hard work!!!!

#49 Heavy & Pyro: How could they be changed? in TF2 General Discussion

manikWhen is this pyro or heavy balance update happening? Like, how long will the voting stuff go on before the update is released?

I think it's pretty obvious that they haven't actually made the update yet. I'm sure they have ideas for both and they'll finish the one that got the most votes (pyro) soon™

#116 yttrium's competitive viewmodels in Customization

Just updated to version 1.1.

Changelog1.1
Added dedicated "uninstall" button.
Moved buttons to a lower panel for better consistency.
Mod now fully installs even if nothing is checked.
Mod now installs as a single VPK archive rather than a set of loose folders and files.

This makes it easier to distribute configurations and wipe over old installs.

The installer now saves your TF2 directory to the registry, and attempts to recall it upon future loads.

The registry path is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CompVMInstaller\TF2Path

Before you start using this new version you'll need to manually delete the folder "compviewmodels" in your tf\custom folder.

julianc11123:( i guess i'll have to play scout with view model_fov 54 then
thx for replying tho

Tell me what you want hidden and I'll bake a VPK for you to install.

#111 yttrium's competitive viewmodels in Customization

SaMuRa1LTshould i be able to see the 1:07 thing on your video,where you can actually play with viewmodel commands or is it removed by valve now ??

it was supposed to have been removed but it's still there in the source-themed Options > Multiplayer > Advanced menu. it's not there in the regular Advanced Options menu, which uses a TF2 theme. either way they don't work in competitive matchmaking, but they work (just like the cvars work) in everything else.
