Replay: Fixed ‘save all’ crash in replay browser Fixed ‘save movies now, then quit’ crash Coaching: The coach is now tethered to the student, so that they cannot get too far Added the distance to student in coach GUI Coach now has the same PVS as the student When the student respawns, the coach warps back to student Added an option to "like" coach by pressing F9.

In MY DX8?
[QUOTE=KarmaPolice;28551728]Paint? In MY DX8?[/QUOTE] Oh yes...paint! Also...what is this coaching thing?
dx8 is no longer a way to avoid pink flaming rabbit hats.
"Painted items are now more integrated with the game's lighting" What exactly does this mean?
[QUOTE=TentuZero;28551753]Oh yes...paint! Also...what is this coaching thing?[/QUOTE] New/bad players can request a coach (and experienced players can volunteer to coach) to help teach them the game, show them where to go, what to do, etc.
[QUOTE=KarmaPolice;28551728]Paint? In MY DX8?[/QUOTE] Dammit. I thought I was liberated from paint when I put -dxlevel81 in launch options.
[QUOTE=Necrotic Fever;28551770]"Painted items are now more integrated with the game's lighting" What exactly does this mean?[/QUOTE] maybe they un-raped the artstyle?
[QUOTE=Necrotic Fever;28551770]"Painted items are now more integrated with the game's lighting" What exactly does this mean?[/QUOTE] They will change brightness along with light levels. Like it's supposed to. I think.
Still no fix to the Library Error.
[quote]cp_yukon Fixed a hole in the map[/quote] Requesting information
[quote]Painted items are now more integrated with the game's lighting[/quote] YES!!! I couldn't get over how washed out white paint was on certain hats while in Goldrush due to the HDR lighting or am I misinterpreting the fix?
[quote]Coach now has the same PVS as the student[/quote] I must have missed something. Can someone explain what PVS is to me?
[QUOTE=wari65;28551898]I must have missed something. Can someone explain what PVS is to me?[/QUOTE] Potentially visible set
[QUOTE=Ond kaja;28551874]Requesting information[/QUOTE] There was a hole in the map. Now it's fixed.
Can someone get a picture of what paint looks like in DX8? I'd assume that it doesn't look as good.
What is there to really paint in beta? Bills Maybe?
There was a hole here. It's gone now.
I hope the coaching thing makes it into TF2 because I'd like to volunteer.
[QUOTE=Antwon;28552270]I hope the coaching thing makes it into TF2 because I'd like to volunteer.[/QUOTE] Well I thought this coaching system had something to do with DOTA2 but Icefrog told me they are nothing alike. Maybe they are going to experiment that on other games too.
[QUOTE=Necrotic Fever;28551770]"Painted items are now more integrated with the game's lighting" What exactly does this mean?[/QUOTE] maybe it's how your hat could be super bright when you were standing in a shadow because the illumposition is actually not the same as your character model
Paint on dx8? FUCK YES!!!
Stop supporting dx8 it's not worth it.
[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;28553339]Stop supporting dx8 it's not worth it.[/QUOTE] They can stop supporting DX8 as soon as they make the game not run so shittily on a computer twice as good as one that ran it on DX9 2 years ago. Also YAY PAINT!
True. I always wanted to know why I can run any other game on my pc at maximum settings and I still have to run TF2 with dx8 to make it work.
Someone explain to me how the coaching thing works. I wanna volunteer, but I wanna know what I'd be doing before I decide to fuck it up.
This coaching thing is actually pretty fun :buddy:

You see your student in an outline of their team color. You get 4 markers which you can set around your student (attack this, defend here, move here, look at this) to aid them and show them what they should be doing when. You can also voice chat only with your student to tell them tips and point out things you can't do quick enough with the markers.
