Bombz 31 #1 Posted March 10, 2011 --- March 09, 2011 ---An Important Note: Generally the beta is the place where we do design testing, so the game itself is fairly stable. But today we’re releasing a large update specifically for the purpose of stability testing. In particular, we’re testing out our new Replay system, which has been in the works for over a year. As a result, a large amount of code has changed. We wanted to ship it to the beta first, where we can get the bugs ironed out, before we move it out to the main TF2 branch. So please jump in and take a look – we’d love to hear feedback on the UI as well as any bugs you run into. Also, we'll be wiping all items in the beta at some point in the near future. We will re-grant the achievement items, and any items we're actively tuning afterward. Gameplay: * Bots: o Bots now work on Payload maps + Added payload to Offline practice o Spy bots! Medic: * The Quick-Fix: o Megaheal (the uber) effect now also applies to the medic Pyro: * The Detonator: o Detonation particle effect increased to better match the radius Soldier: * Reduced rage generation rate with Battalion’s Backup by 50% Spy: * Fixed a bug that prevented domination lines from being played with the Eternal Reward Maps: * Added koth_badlands General: * Added Replay system that allows you to edit and publish movies of your play experiences (full Mac support in the next few days) * Added in-game Coaching system * Added in-game Voting system * Added training for the Demoman, Spy and Engineer * Temporarily enabled crafting and trading * Synced with changes from the official releases o http://store.steampowered.com/news/5008/ o http://store.steampowered.com/news/5035/ o http://store.steampowered.com/news/5050/ o http://store.steampowered.com/news/5068/ o http://store.steampowered.com/news/5077/ o http://store.steampowered.com/news/5091/ Interesting stuff... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemon Jelly 26 #2 Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) damn that is interesting Edit: just got done testing the some of the new stuff out. The Replay feature is awesome! I love you can edit it and what not, very well done IMO. The coaching thing ....im not sure about that....seems weird. And lastly the new voting system is cool I guess Idk makes me feel like the only perk of being a donor would be reserved slots... looks like there trying to get rid of the need for source mod on a server.

Unless they add a limit command and it's easy to hook their voting system (to provide immunity) it will not be enabled. Right now it can pretty much be spammed. Also if it is easy to hook, then it can be made so only donors can use it fully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valve just needs to make a sort of API whereby sourcemod plugin authors can easily create their own panels to display or do whatever they want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
