STS big update leak - Games

Ned Ballad is one of my favorite posters now, almost always quality.

My TF2 is updating! OMGOMGOMG [editline]Edit:[/editline] bahhhhhh nothing special

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;29786657]Update! *Added a “Show in Backpack Order” setting to the loadout slot select screen -This flag also affects the Quickswitch dialog *Updated the Furious Fukaamigasa, the Hero's Hachimaki and the Connoisseur's Cap to be craftable *Updated the localization files *Replay -Added a new command line parameter “-replay” that will increase maxplayers by 1 at startup and automatically execute replay.cfg for the server - Fixed another bug that caused Mac replay renders to be blurry -Fixed a bug where Replay FTP offloading was not using "replay_fileserver_offload_port" -Improved detection of Replay server config problems -Replay is automatically disabled on servers if the Replay publish test fails -Saved Replay movies that were exported as TGA's/WAV will report more descriptive errors if YouTube(TM) upload or "Export" is attempted[/QUOTE] Well, a common update, it seems. Someone check if something else was changed in the GCFs just in case

well, it's good they're updating replay mode. I know a few admins who've said it's utter HELL trying to get the damn thing to work. I know of 2 servers so far that have replay working: the official Valve servers and this one trade server... but yeah, I think we all called it; a few updates, nothing special. but in EIGHT DAYS... OH GOD YES... we get: 2 new game modes (one is rumored to be a boss mode, so basically Saxton Hale, Vagineer, Brutal Christian Sniper, and HHH Jr, but with a bot controlling the boss), a ton of new Polycount Packs (BLACK MARKET BUSINESS FTW TIMES A MILLION), a ton of assorted hats (Pyro TV head, Tudor Topper, etc), a ton of assorted little extras (new unusuals and such), and of course... HOLYSHIT MEET THE MEDIC IS HERE OH MY GOD KSJFSAFJSZDJCOJSXLJSDFKMSD. "today is a good day"- the Soldier welp, Source just updated... heh, imagine if the info was incomplete or something and we got all that shit TODAY... ah, that'd be down right nutty...

I wanted new styles :(

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;29786930]I wanted new styles :([/QUOTE] add that to the list of demands: 1. new styles 2. new voice clips that make the Heavy, Soldier, and Medic shout "OF COURSE!!!" if you're wearing the Team Captain :D

I know the new minigun will destroy projectiles.

[QUOTE=Rukerius;29787056]I know the new minigun will destroy projectiles.[/QUOTE] and apparently there's a comic about a Director or something *trollface*

[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;29787017]add that to the list of demands: 1. new styles [b]2. new voice clips that make the Heavy, Soldier, and Medic shout "OF COURSE!!!" if you're wearing the Team Captain[/b] :D[/QUOTE] dont forget the "YES! YES!" voice clips after Capping/dropping a/the point/flag/cart

[QUOTE=MacD11;29787202]dont forget the "YES! YES!" voice clips after Capping/dropping a/the point/flag/cart[/QUOTE] Heavy: *eats Sandvich* "THIS IS DELICIOUS!"

Yay, Mac replays are "fixed".

alrighty then, since the LAST two times I tried to ask this it ended up as the last post on a page and derailed by a troll respectively, so, ONE MORE TIME... I'm hoping to craft a Capone's Capper (a NUMBERED one at that), so I decided to guess the crafting recipe of the Tommslav and then craft that with 4 refined. but then I realised, what if the Tommyslav is numbered? so, if I end up getting a numbered Tommyslav, should I craft it to get a numbered Capone's Capper?

[QUOTE=SnowCanary;29788085]Valve seems to have removed the Set Headgear blueprint for new sets, so you won't be able to craft one anyway.[/QUOTE] This. The new set hats will only have specific recipes if they're actually part of the sets, and... *shudders* I hope we won't have that again.

The new "set" hats are no different than any other hats. I don't even link them together anymore in my head. Like the Big Chief, is just another Heavy hat.

[QUOTE=SnowCanary;29788085]Valve seems to have removed the Set Headgear blueprint for new sets, so you won't be able to craft one anyway.[/QUOTE] oh god... apparently you can't... well... this puts a damper on things... ... this sucks... HARD... do new hats have a better chance of being crafted? I mean, within like 2 days, there were already upwards of 100 Ol' Geezers, despite there being a 1/100+ chance of getting one... soooo...

[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;29788561]huh? but you can still craft them with specific recipes even if they don't add anything as far as bonuses go (check the wiki, you can still craft, for example, a Big Chief by crafting 4 refined and a Buffalo Steak Sandvich)[/QUOTE] No you can't. If the Wiki does say this (and I could have sworn I edited that out way back in December) then it's wrong. EDIT: Just double checked; the Wiki says nothing of the sort (at least not anymore).

[QUOTE=The Calzone;29785610]Buy L4D/Killing Floor.[/QUOTE] No, they don't have hats.

[QUOTE=SirKai;29788600]No you can't. If the Wiki does say this (and I could have sworn I edited that out way back in December) then it's wrong. EDIT: Just double checked; the Wiki says nothing of the sort (at least not anymore).[/QUOTE] yeah, I double checked and yu guys were right... ah well... well, I'll trade either 2 craftable hats (1 would be a Pugilist's Protector) or the Pugilist's and 4 refined for a day 1 Capone's Capper (don't care if it's numbered, I know I could NEVER afford that; that's like 10 hats) EDIT: also, I'm taking all bets that we'll get some promotional "Balls of Steel" for DNF

I went back a couple of pages, and didn't see this... The new update has some unreleased promo items. [media][img]http://i.imgur.com/8FKf7.jpg[/img][/media] In case you're going all "what is this white hair nonsense", it looks like a pre-order pack for The Witcher 2.

Cool, I reckon there will be a lot of fanart of Scout as a trap now.

[QUOTE=Simski;29793891]Cool, I reckon there will be a lot of fanart of Scout as a trap now.[/QUOTE] There's already Rong for that, anymore and we'll all do an overdose

well, I have 4 refined and a heavy token... there's 13 craftable Heavy Hats now, after the update we'll have 3 more (Capone's Capper, Pocket Medic, and possibly Heavy Thinker). so yeah, if I craft my metal and my token right after the update, I'll have a 1/8 chance of getting something I want (numbered Capone's or Pocket Medic would be frikkin unbelievable). well... the odds are against me... but perhaps God will smile upon me and I'll make off with something relly friggin cool. here's hoping...

[QUOTE=Jimmyjohn;29800208]i really hope that sword has its own stats[/QUOTE] most likely. I think Valve caught on that we weren't too keen on there being like 50-bazillion promo items that were just reskins, so I guess they decided that the weapons may as well add something to the game as opposed to just taking up backpack space. speculation on the stats? maybe it slows him down and he gets faster after every kill?

maybe the big update will be called THE 219 UPDATE as we are only 5 updates a way

[QUOTE=madsser;29813171]maybe the big update will be called THE 219 UPDATE as we are only 5 updates a way[/QUOTE] Yeah, five updates. Saxxy award submissions are ending next thursday. The awards will be given in maybe another two weeks, because there will be tons of submissions to watch for Valve. So it may be possible to push out 4 updates in that time.

I just hope that VALVe would add a "Disable hats" option. I really want my art direction back.

[QUOTE=NassimO PotatO;29818737]I just hope that VALVe would add a "Disable hats" option. I really want my art direction back.[/QUOTE]Why is this getting rated dumb? Asking for a client side option to disable hats and or paint is a far more reasonable request then say a "vanilla" game mode. Besides the people who would use it don't usually care about hats/trading/craft etc. so its going to be a very minimal impact on the market. Personally I want it because then people might stop bitching about hats so much and talk more about things that really impact the game like weapons.
