You can't get in trouble for using a feature Valve has implemented.
People with paranoia beyond this line shall be lynched

Guys I don't believe in this it could get us vac banned because valve doesn't know about it
Didn't the last program like this wipe most peoples drops?
[QUOTE=ForcedDj;20755395]I might not use them if Valve gave the people who didn't use this method both angel and demon wings, and gave out more misc items.
Sure, its not 3rd party, but its not safe.
Oh, its safe=few months later, Valve decides to crack down on this and removes all illegal items(or all if you used the idler program before) from this method.
Thanks, but no thanks. Want to lose your items again, fine by me, but I am not going to do this shit again.[/QUOTE]
Why in HELL would Valve punish those using "-textmode".
What does "-textmode" do other than launch TF2 in text mode, with 0 controls?
What's the illegal thing wtih this?
oh wait... people can IDLE using this!
So anything that can "help" idling is now illegal?
better ban directx 8.1 users, 640x480 resolution and all people who downloaded achievement_idle.bsp
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;20756029]Didn't the last program like this wipe most peoples drops?[/QUOTE]
Are you asking if the last program called HL2.exe [unmodified TF2 client] wipe most people's drops? nope.
This is awesome
Do you fools forget what happened last time you used a third party idling program? :argh:
[QUOTE=scout1;20756129]Do you fools forget what happened last time you used a third party idling program? :argh:[/QUOTE]
This is using TF2 itself, not a third party program.
[QUOTE=scout1;20756129]Do you fools forget what happened last time you used a third party idling program? :argh:[/QUOTE]
You're the fool here!
This program, it is made of first-party!
:buddy:
I'd rather not.

You stumble into a demominefield. The owner has not noticed you. Ahead of you you see the Enemy's Intelligence, ready for theft.
Take Intelligence
The Demoman heard you attempt to steal, setting off his minefield. You are turned into a smoldering pile of giblets.

Why don't you read the thread?
[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;20755783]Would look awesome with the halo :angel:[/QUOTE]
Except that, knowing valve, i think they'll make it as crappy as the halo
I never knew that TF2 had textmode :buddy:
Also Source Tools is bess, because 0.95a is already using this.
Don't share this with the Steam forum, or they'll probably disable the command in the next update.
It's our dirty secret. :3:
[B]Edit : [/B]Wow, rate me dumb or bad reading, the source is the Steam forum.
Haha...
I'd rather just run TF2 alt-tab'd.
Alright, trying this now, seems to be working fine so far.
I'm using this now, seems perfectly legal, I don't see it not different then alt+tabbing but now it is just a box that I can easily minimize.
Also using the -novid and -nosound launch options are quite useful.
novid will make it launch faster and nosound obviously will stop the sounds from playing when the application has focus.
Looks interesting, but I like being able to jump into the game to mess about.

With Source Tools 0.95a

Yeah I know you guys aren't SPUF, that image was made yesterday for the SPUF thread :p
[editline]10:28AM[/editline]
Oh well, the SPUF thread was deleted.
That's a good thing though, too many n00bs crying "hax" and if it ever became TOO popular, VALVe may have to remove it.
Personally, I dont want Valve to remove it, as "-textmode" allows me to run the [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=900004][b]Server Hunter [for the tf2stats.net blacklist][/b][/url] on a vmware machine with maximum stability [connecting to hundreds of servers per hour sort of makes TF2 cry]
[b]BY THE WAY[/b]
Don't think that because the thread was deleted that "-textmode" is forbidden by Valve.
Any topic about how to idle, on SPUF, gets deleted.
I'm really really surprised the thread lived that long.
Probably didn't help that I promoted Source Tools on the thread either.
Usually, a thread with a link to Source Tools [the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtSurXm-kI0]youtube video[/url], or just the [url=http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2292]SourceOP thread[/url]] gets the whole thread deleted.

EXTRA LITTLE TWEAK: For those wanting to completely block the TF2 window from popping up fullscreen before going into textmode [b][and allow you to run TF2 on a machine without the need for Direct3D][/b]
I know that adding "-noshaderapi" will completely disable the TF2 window from popping up [with the background image], [b]but it will reset your TF2 video settings to default[/b].
[b]If you want to use "-noshaderapi" and not lose your video settings"[/B]
1. Type these two commands in CMD.exe
[quote]
reg export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Source\tf\Settings
move video.reg c:\
[/quote]
2. Find "video.reg" in c:\
3. Put that file anywhere that is convenient.
4. Before you want to [B]play[/B] TF2, double click video.reg.
It will restore your video configuration.
Note, if you change video settings, you'll have to redo those steps to make a new video.reg file with your new video settings.
I need to update my TF2 but I'll give it a go.
I'll prefer to just Alt+tab instead of this... Incase I forget to turn off textmode...
God dam I love this thing.
Oh btw the steam thread got deleted, lol.
Wait...
Oh shi-
Is there a way to make an desktop icon for textmode and a desktop icon for regular TF2?
Edit:
steam.exe trick decided to work with the new UI.
Anyone using the 2010 UI just needs to make a shortcut to
"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 440 -textmode -novid -nosound
Because the new UI uses a different format for rightclick, add desktop shortcut.
I don't think you'll get punished, but I hope so. It'd be funnier.
