I'm surprised it took so long to enable Halloween items on Halloween maps.

sv_pure -2? Just how far does that command go??

Anyway, being able to now use Halloween items on Halloween apps is nice.

That wasn't on purpose really, just a programming error. It basically made sv_pure a value that was nonexistent on all valve servers, and caused some errors with all non-vpk custom content.

I see. Oh Valve!

Also, it seems my iPad's autocorrect had changed "maps" to "apps". Because obviously "maps" isn't a real word.

they should make it so it works on all maps ending in _event so it works for community halloween maps not ingame too
But what if you want to make a Smissmas event map?

Also when did minor patches get automatically consolidated into the same thread as the large patches they follow? And how?

if ((timeSinceLastPatch < twoDays) && (changelogLineCount < 5))
AppendThread();

At least that's what I'd do. But I was wondering about that too, it is a smart change.

I just did it manually because I felt like it, actually. :p
