Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines!

[AbeX300]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37342259]you know what's making my eye twitch. At work I have to fix all the major bugs [i]before[/i] I can fix typos, make art consistent, fix crit glow, add new minor features and basically do the couple dozen one line 5 second changes that are piled up.

*eye twitch*

Typos bother me way more than the product actually working >:([/QUOTE]

Your brain is at a critical state.

Too bad we can't tell, since it doesn't crit glow.

[Devozade]

Is the Engine Tin hat not hiding the default helmet correctly like the Lucky Shot did on release?

[Hell-met]

maybe they're going to import the new stepsounds tech into the soccer shoes

also robot stepsounds for gunboats in the community schema plz

[ned_ballad]

[QUOTE=Devozade;37342425]Is the Engine Tin hat not hiding the default helmet correctly like the Lucky Shot did on release?[/QUOTE]

Yup

You see, all the other robo hats have "prefab" "new_hat" which removes the proper groups. For some reason Engineer's bot hat is set as just "hat" prefab, which does not remove the default hat autimatically.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37342259]yes, those are the Liquor Locker footstep sounds that are unused. They may have forgotten they were unused, or are planning on adding them back in later. I had emailed them about it awhile ago, and I forget, but I might have mentioned also making footstep attributes easier to manage than new attributes every time.

It seems they may be transitioning footstep overrides into an easier to manage attribute, rather than new attributes for every footstep sound.

In this case, the LL is one schema line away from unique footstep sounds

Yea, plus those sweet bottle on bot sounds with are PERFECT on the caber

Yes, I have a full time job but still post on FP whenever I can.

[AbeX300]

[QUOTE=Hell-met;37342437]also robot stepsounds for gunboats in the community schema plz[/QUOTE]

I want Sentry Buster footsteps for the Gunboats.

Even though that'll cause extreme paranoia in MvM.

[BigJoeyLemons]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37341345]but really, being able to place a friendly Medic Robot and have them wheel around healing people as a secondary healing source would be awesome

I bet performance wise 32 medics spawning 32 medic robots could cause some issues. But I'm sure they could work out how to optimize the model, maybe the NPC Medic-bots use a LOD less than default or something[/QUOTE]

Or rather, a [B]mini-Medic.[/B]

It's always annoyed me that the gunboats don't have a unique sound.

[ned_ballad]

the same sound would also work on the Booties. If they didn't want use robo-sounds outside of MvM they can also pitch shift them up or down to make them a little different.

And then give the Bootlegger its own sounds and we can have lots of running sounds!

where at? Almost looks like you're implying you work at valve in which case I missed something

[Constructor]

hold on, ned works at valve now?

[Psychopath]

If he worked at Valve, he would have made a much bigger deal about it than his current job.

[Constructor]

he really implies that he does

he should leak everything

[ned_ballad]

I work at a local ad company

[editline]21st August 2012[/editline]

it's not valve

[royaldanney]

He doesn't. He's had his current job for quite a time now.

[Venezuelan]

So you fix major valve bugs at your ad company?

[Psychopath]

[QUOTE=royaldanney;37342958]He doesn't. He's had his current job for quite a time now.[/QUOTE]

He just started like two weeks ago.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37341786]What the hell?

"override footstep sound set" set at 8 is the sound of a Knife being brought out...

And it's not for the Spy, either:

		T_TFBot_Spy
		{
			Class Spy
			Skill Expert
		}

Spybot with knifes for feets confirmed
Land on your head = insta-death

If only the Mantreads were like that.

[b]Edit:[/b] Wow, what the hell's your problem, Scarab?

[Eriorguez]

Goomba stomp plugin. Tons of fun at the cost of the Mantreads doing something.

[Scarabix]

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;37342983]He just started like two weeks ago.[/QUOTE]

We had like 4 speculation threads these last two weeks, let's just say time flew and everyone will agree that it did seem like quite some time.

[ned_ballad]

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;37342974]So you fix major valve bugs at your ad company?[/QUOTE]

That is correct. My company is a start up that bought an old prototype ad building thing with lots of bugs still in it. So now I need to fix said bugs.

I also still [s]harass[/s] help Valve fix other bugs
Just pretend the s is strike through because I don't know what Garry wants for this to work :/

[Armisael]

[noparse][del]strikethrough[/del][/noparse] produces [del]strikethrough[/del]

My speculation is that for halloween, valve makes the hats (and the hat slot) just another type of misc with a different equip region, and it breaks tf2 for an entire week. Scary.

[Devozade]

HLDS email on the fix update. Coming "very soon".

[MaxOfS2D]

I hope it's one of those patches where the fix/tweak list is longer than your arm

I dig those

[Psychopath]

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;37343813]I hope it's one of those patches where the fix/tweak list is longer than your arm

We were told yesterday what was planned to be fixed. And while it was a sizable list, it's nowhere near the length of an arm unless you've got a baby-sized screen or T-rex arms.

[Armisael]

Didn't we already get the notes for this match?

It's bug fixes and matchmaking improvements.

I dig the ones that put secret stuff somewhere in TF2, or in the files/whatever

[MaxOfS2D]

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;37343850]We were told yesterday what was planned to be fixed.[/QUOTE]

Got the list? :v:
