Product Update - Valve
Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Team Fortress 2

• Added further PropHunt mode support
• Added a "SetCustomModelRotates" input, which will enable/disable whether the custom model should rotate yaw (enabled by default)
• Added a "SetCustomModelVisibletoSelf" input, which will set whether or not the local player should see his own custom model
• Fixed the Engineer being able to build more than 1 of each type of building
• Fixed old Engineer build keybinds not working with the new system
• Fixed a client crash on shutdown
• Fixed the Gunboats not properly applying the damage reduction when Spectators are nearby
• Fixed post-processing bug which could cause tone mapping to become stuck at highest setting

Na its just a bunch of bug fixes.

hurray for hdr

I'm always amazed how bits of their code seemingly unrelated to an update get broken, then the speed at which they manage to fix them. Whenever I coded and something broke it might take me a week to figure out a solution :/

But then I was only 9 or 10

 

[fubarFX]

well, valve fucks everything up so often... I guess they got very good at fixing stuff lol

I would love to know how spectators could cancel the effect of gunboats lol.

spectators counted as people within the radius of rocket blasts, negating the gunboat effect

it is the engineer update, it's just a minor one regarding his buildings

Ah well. I had my five minutes of fun spamming sentries across koth_sawmill with friends, so I'm happy.

(Also, I'm amused at the first bullet point. I wonder what "further PropHunt mode support" entails?)

Huzzah! Prophunt!

Update 118 removed the ability to parent things to players, breaking all the prophunt movement code. (Valve intended this to break Custom Hat plugins, not prophunt)

Update 119 silently added the player input SetCustomModel and SetCustomModelOffset which Drunken_f00l requested and then told us (GM) about.

Update 120 contained "Further" support for SetCustomModel settings, which was requested by Drunken_F00l and I

Update 121 will hopefully fix the crashes related to using SetCustomModel that I reported to Valve.

OK I successfully change a player's model by using

	SetVariantString(sPath);
	AcceptEntityInput(client, "SetCustomModel", client, client, 0);

but how do I change him back?

If you call SetCustomModel with a parameter of “”, it’ll clear the custom model and return to using the appropriate class model.

Do we reckon that we'll get mutations like LFD2 did? I know they're very different games and with TF2 being a flat-out, fair competition it doesn't hand itself to rule changes. It could work though, I wouldn't mind seeing crit-scouts vs crit-soldiers for example...

I would say thats a fair trade off for getting around the hole hats bullshit.

Ahh, interesting! I haven't played Prophunt much (or recently), so I hadn't heard about it breaking. Nice to see how much support Valve's giving the prophunters!

nah. mods pretty much cover it.

CTF w/ no engies/scouts?

 

[AgeNt_]

if they are setting up something for the engineer update that has to do with custom models, or changing the player models to that fact. would this be like a robo-suit type thing?
