An Option To Disable/take Off Party Hats

[Sodium Bromate 0]

Could it be added? People who donate pretty much can't play spy as is, because 3/4ths of the time people say that they can see your hat while cloaked. If this feature can't be added, I'll probably stop donating. Spy is one of my main classes, and this hat business is making my job much harder. I know I made a topic about this before, but it was closed because "people who can see my hat are retarded." I really want something to be done about this.

I play spy alot and never ran into this issue, however if it holds true... yeah we need an option or just to get rid of them

A 'hide party hat' option would be cool. I don't like wearing a hat sometimes when I'm spying, sniping, or making people rage.

I can confirm that party hats can be seen on cloaked spies. I saw a party hat floating in mid-air the other day.

when I'm spying [or] making people rage.

There's a difference?

I was going to do it days ago... But I misplaced the Linux hats source. Backed up the wrong version.

I should have this fixed by the end of this week though.

EDIT:

New plugin uploaded. The issue should go away completely in a few hours (once it's loaded across all servers). The hat model is now hidden manually on cloak regardless of user settings.

I too would like a feature to not have a hat on at all to minimize body size.

I really don't like the hats at all, though I would like to have the other donator benefits.

I think for everyone that doesn't want a party hat, they should have their legs changed to a big boat so it looks like they are sailing on a boat everywhere.

[Oww My Nose 19]

you mean i could run around saying "I'M ON A BOAT MOTHERFUCKER"?

does it show the hat when you're disguised?

[Mana 3,867]

does it show the hat when you're disguised?

Yes and no. When disguised it's random. You either have a hat or you don't. Not up to you.

At first the hat was disabled on disguise but then people complained about it, they also complained about it being enabled so then it became random and no one really complained since.

Except for me.

If that's true, then I might change my hat color. I'm pretty much the only one that uses white.

smart

thats good

Can you ban assholes that intentionally turn off downloads just so that they can detect those random times when the spy has a hat on easier?

Just an update:

Party hats are still visible on cloaked spies at least some of the time. I was playing on fastlane yesterday and followed a cloaked spy around because I could see his little black party hat.

[+Henry Spencer 117]

I keep hearing that... people see black party hats on spies. Perhaps it's only the black party hat that's bugged?

yeah i seen this alot but they always seem i hack just because i c their party hats -.-"

[TheCrytek 0]

I can see yellow ones sometimes.

My conclusion, if a spy begins/ends his cloak (ie, from the moment he starts his cloak to the end of this period when the smoke disapates) within a line-of-sight of you (regardless of which direction you are facing), then his hat will remain visible for the remainder of his cloak period.

edit: or her

[myelin 10]

I hate spy.

[Fridgeraider 0]

Ya, I'm still being told a lot that people are seeing my orange hat when I play spy and I am fully cloaked. It's really getting annoying.

[LunchBox 10]

When you play spy, just disable the hat. When you're done, put it back on. The option is there.
