Major Update Speculation Thread V22: Steampipe For Reals This Time - Games

if evryone keep talking about poker night 2 here , i dont think we will se steampipe in this thread after all :v:

Haha, I apologize, there's a thread, etc. MAJOR UPDATE is usually all of Facepunch to me, I tend to forget.

[QUOTE]We’re trying out different way to release updates that will hopefully reduce disruption to your communities. New builds are now available for the client and dedicated server for CS:S, DoD:S, and HL2:DM. These builds have the same PatchVersion and are network compatible with the current build. (It’s an “optional update” for servers.) To obtain these builds, you need to opt into the prerelease beta. To opt into the prerelease beta on the client, right click on the game in the game list and select Properties, select the “Betas” tab, and select the “prerelease” beta. (This is a public beta and does not require a password.) To select which branch to sync the dedicated server to using steamcmd, you need to pass “-beta prerelease” to the app_update command. For example, if you are using a SteamCmd script file, you might have something like this: login anonymous force_install_dir cstrike app_update 232330 -beta prerelease quit (I am told that it is possible to pass the -beta switch on the steamcmd command line, through some magic combination of quoting, so you can avoid having to create a script file. Hopefully some kind soul will figure out how to do that and share it.) Switching between two steampipe branches is really fast and easy, so if there’s a problem, you can switch back quickly. (Opting out of the “steampipe beta” was really painful because it was switching between two entirely different content distribution systems --- that will never apply again.) If no big problems are detected, we’ll make these builds the official build on Monday. Our current plan is to always keep the prerelease branch active, even if it is the same build as the main branch. This way you can stay opted in. In other words, “prerelease” actually means “the latest available build”. We’re not sure if every update we release needs to go out as a prerelease first. Here are the change notes for the builds we are releasing today: Source engine games: * mapcycle and motd files now reside in the cfg folder by default, or in the root as a fallback. * Default mapcycle and motd files are now shipped as cfg/xxx_default.txt, and will be used if the filename convar is at the default value and no custom file is found in the cfg folder or the root. * mapcycle file can contain blank lines and //-style comments * mapcycle file loaded from the custom folder. * Greatly reduced memory usage on the client and server * Added some hardcoded rules to the “end” of sv_pure rule list. * Fixed some filesystem calls not properly obeying pure server rules. * Fixed model bounds and simple materials consistency checking rules. (Fixed Counter-Strike server spew.) [/QUOTE]

You have to earn the chance to get the chance to have a chance at winning one of the items. No, I'm serious. I like it better this way.

Man, I NEVER get special crates :\

I just seen an person founding "#TF_Default_ItemDef"

Why did I have to glitch the game to wear the Fez and the Mask at the same time? There is no clipping...

[QUOTE=Zeos;40433204]Why did I have to glitch the game to wear the Fez and the Mask at the same time? There is no clipping...[/QUOTE] Fez takes up the face bodygroup I believe.

Oh god the facial animations on the mask are terrible [IMG_thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/846951818657353730/BD85661D6599BF2ECCF6A88F62967197468B5B88/1024x819.resizedimage[/IMG_thumb]

snip

is that a blendogames nod in the intro of pn2? awesome if so

I can't wait to see anyone to glitch the Dapper Disguise with Noh Mercy

Anyone else getting a bug with Mann Up mode? Tells me to close TF2 to download the latest update before I can play except I know I already got last night's Steampipe update. EDIT: Seems to be MvM matchmaking in general. Boot Camp gives me the same message.

[QUOTE=Escargotage;40433456]Anyone else getting a bug with Mann Up mode? Tells me to close TF2 to download the latest update before I can play except I know I already got last night's Steampipe update.[/QUOTE] Valve accidentally updated their Mann Up servers too early (to an unreleased version of the game), they're rolling them back as we speak. My guess is that their upgrades were on a timer, and nobody bothered to adjust it when the requisite client update got pushed back.

I think I'm to punch a hole in my monitor before I get the items. I played 5 rounds now, and in all of them I lost to claptrap.

First impressions of PN2: Wow, this is great! Jeez, I suck at Poker. I keep forgetting Ash is there. I wish I could forget Claptrap is there. Good thing this isn't real money. GladOS really doesn't work in this setting. No unlocks not related to the main franchises? That's disappointing. Overall, I don't think I like it as much as PN1.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;40433548]do you have HWM faces on? Those turn off flexing for items[/QUOTE] Nope. Not on.

so why is it that the dapper disguises flexing work just dandy in itemtest yet the main game it doesn't what is the difference between itemtest and the regular game that causes that to happen

So yeah, Brock has somehow managed to be more annoying than ClapTrap by denying me my win every time with his ridiculous luck. Not been able to test any items so far.

i am so happy [IMG]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1082264898483643180/2C5409A78BAD2AC7E1FE904368B4121A46374109/[/IMG]

Really all I want is the Dapper Disguise and the Longfall Loafers. I'm just upset my card won't work with Steam right now, so I can't buy the game. I'll have to sell stuff on market or trade for it which will take FOREVER... [editline]t[/editline] [t]http://img.ctrlv.in.s3.amazonaws.com/img/517ad70007b51.jpg[/t] :D

[QUOTE=Zesty McLime;40433775]So yeah, Brock has somehow managed to be more annoying than ClapTrap by denying me my win every time with his ridiculous luck. Not been able to test any items so far.[/QUOTE] It's the same with me and claptrap. It seems like they randomly decides to go all in or fold.

The amount of frequency that I see Sam take his gun out is disappointing. I'm thinking that Telltale originally wanted to redistribute it much like the Lugermorph in the first installment but they opted for the hat instead, which was coincidentally planned for the Devil's Playhouse cross promotion.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;40429971]They really do need to have one. There's very little reason to not opt in to the steampipe beta, yet absolutely nobody seems to know what it is outside of the "People that care to know about these sort of things" crowd, like us. Just a quick how-to on opting in and describing the benefits of it, and then a little winky face about "being able to test it out on the goodies next week!"[/QUOTE] Quit being a fucking hipster. Besides that, I've only heard negative comments about steampipe saying to wait.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;40433891]Quit being a fucking hipster. Besides that, I've only heard negative comments about steampipe saying to wait.[/QUOTE] That was before they made it possible to join any server with steampipe

Well I was too poor to buy the game. Was there any preorder bonus, except PN1? Just so I know if I got screwed.

[QUOTE=RandomGamer342;40433957]That was before they made it possible to join any server with steampipe[/QUOTE] At which point most servers auto-banned you.

[sp]Max full on kissed the screen POV style in PN2[/sp] and so I will die happily. And aroused. Also god damn it Sam give me your damn bounty
