Can you do these things with the TF2 client using commands?

[Awesomecaek]

Well, I am asking if these things are possible with the client. I would like to see if using cfg's and command line options it would allow me to do this:

1. Strip as much of computer resources as possible. Use the lowest quality textures/models, or if possible, do not load them at all. Do not allocate sound card, etc etc.
2. After launch, automatically join a server/ start a listen server
3. Don't make a window at all

Depending on how well this could be done with commands, with the highest one being the main and the next two less important things, to get an Idler alternative from native TF2 client.
I am seeking for possibility to let it run for hours without having to turn it off, making it take as low amount of RAM and VRAM as possible. So, do you guys have solutions for this?

[nannal]

1 yes
2 possibly
3 probably not

Trying to replicate Idle?
If anyone finds it, I'm in.

[Commando123]

I bet they are figuring a way around this right now. this valve update is another band-aide fix. Plus a model a retarded monkey could have made.

[nannal]

1. there are lots of "zero good looks" CFGs out there
2. " wait 999; connect "IP ADDRESS" " at the end of the cfg of your choice
3. still probably not.

You willing to risk losing your account because you wanted to get a cosmetic hat?
Valve have succeeded.

[xpod1]

If anything, you succeeded at trolling the hell out of People using the Idler.
That thread was [b]the[/b] shit before the Mod Emporium came out.

You try to rub it in our faces that you got a unique hat, just like 95.5% of the community.

Why the hell would I rub a hat that 95.5% of the community have in your face?
I'm saying Valve have succeeded because who in their right mind would risk losing their account/items if Valve catch it.

You brought it upon yourself, you deal with it.

[nannal]

don't bring your politics in here girls, the man wants a cfg to help him idle with low ram/proc/gpu usage and I support that.

go elsewhere if you're looking to discuss the ethics of idling

[Commando123]

What has valve done. :Dawkins102:

[xpod1]

[noparse]:Dawkins102:[/noparse]
Note the Cap. :eng101:

[Commando123]

I know, Figured it out in a second.

[Awesomecaek]

Yeah, so, I will try to do some research and I will see how it will turn out

[editline]06:13AM[/editline]

By the way, I am almost sure Valve will not punish us for this. You don't use anything they say you can't. But on the other hand, maybe they will change the system to make this impossible

my guess is they will stop drops on servers with less than 4 players or something (of course sv_cheats 1;bot;bot;bot;say "and one for good measure";bot;sv_cheats 0;retry)

then that goes into idle.cfg (you'll need to make it or course) then when on the main menu type "exec idle" into the console

-dxlevel 81 -w 640 -h 480

are important launch options btw

I'm sure someone could make that better (btw it's a brit server so change it if you want but ping shouldn't really be on your mind)

also you could take the server joining bit off the top, use "exec idle" and you'll be an above average pyro

(for added fun, add "wait 20000;exec taunt" on a new line, create a file called taunt.cfg and write "taunt" in it)

Awesome, just what I needed.

[zzzdude]

Use the launch properties:
-window -width 10 -height 10

[Awesomecaek]

Servar full :argh:

Yeah, I used -window, and the lower resolution isn't really necessary.

[editline]12:17PM[/editline]

Would running it on my listen server arena_lumberyard make any difference? Is the idle map anyhow different? Are listen servers also credible to receive loot?
