Ah, so mp_tournament was broken. I was getting inconsistent results when trying to use that and assumed I was doing something wrong, because, well, Source.

This is the second time they mention contracts crashing mac, I really hope they actually work this time.

guesing tf_hud_target_id_show_avatars is a client side thing that isn't limited by the server?

(default value is 2, so if you want to see every avatar you're going to want to change this to 1)

Aw, I liked the scorch jumping as it was, you could give yourself some nice speedboosts.
Anyway, at the loadout screen at the Scorch it says "-35% self damage" in red letters. Why is that a bad thing if you aren't a masochrist?

I believe it's the same as the Detonators "-50% damage to self" meaning flares do more damage to the user if you were to use them on yourself to jump or whatnot. It's poorly worded.
