Team Fortress 2 Update Released March 6, 2008

[Mana 3,867]

A required update for Team Fortress 2 and it's dedicated server have

been updated.  Please run hldsupdatetool to receive these updates.  The

specific changes include:

- Removed sv_alltalk from the list of convars that affect custom server

tags

- Fixed Demoman grenades not hurting the shooter if fired at point blank

range against a target

- Fixed critical modifier for explosive weapons (rockets, pipe bombs)

increasing critical chance more than intended

- Fixed Sudden Death "seconds have passed" string not including the

amount of seconds that have passed

- Fixed Internet and Custom tabs in the Server Browser not correctly

displaying the server information for servers when going back and forth

between the two tabs

- Updated the URL used for the "Click for more info on custom servers"

link on the Custom tab

- Fixed a crash for a sound channel getting created without wavedata

- Fixed Setup timer not showing the correct percentage in the circular

progress bar

- Fixed being able to enter a "spectate" command in the client console

to join team Spectator when mp_allowspectators is set to 0

- Fixed SourceTV servers not being displayed in the Spectate tab for

servers with custom server tags

- Fixed servers with maxplayers <= 24 that are running SourceTV having

the "increased_maxplayers" tag added for their server

- Added mp_tournament_restart command to be used with Tournament Mode

(mp_tournament). This can be used at any time to return to the "Waiting

for Teams" state

- When a tournament match ends it now returns to the "Waiting for Teams"

state

Now that the

Internet/Custom servers system is in place, we'd like server admin to

work within it. We'll be delisting servers with custom rule sets that

deliberately work around the system.

Yeah thanks Valve... So we can now go 24 players and stay popular, stay at 32 players and on the internet tab and get banned from it tottaly or stay at 32 players on the Custom tab which no one uses....

Why does every server update have to be so painful with Valve? This is the worst one yet really.

What was so bad with 30 max that they had to change it. Thats the stupidest rule ever. Custom tab might become popular though because more players is more fun.

Yes but most people are retarded and don't even know the tab exists, that's the biggest problem. And it's not like Valve is doing anything at all to promote the tab...
