Party Mode

There's a server variable called "tf_birthday". If enabled all characters wear party hats, gibs become presents and explosions release balloons IIRC.
here's a screenshot:

was playing TF2 last night and came across a server with it enabled. It's kinda fun, but very distracting.

I thought it fitted TF2 really well
Only problem was when we were rushing, ballons and presents everywhere

doesnt it make an invisible spy still have the party hat?

 

[Diddly]

don't know, hopefully you don't see just a floating hat running around!

I played on it before. It's pretty cute. The gibs also sometimes spawn as random objects like gears and such.

I read about this earlier and thought it was a myth lol. Sadly, spies do in fact retain their party hat when cloaked. Still looks awsome though.
