Neat

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 maps is nice.

they should make it so it works on all maps ending in _event so it works for community halloween maps not ingame too

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.

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?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

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.

Because who uses maps when you can buy apps? From the Apple store.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Apple doesn't know about maps? No wonder they had problems with their app that gave directions...

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