[QUOTE=xpod1;28680225]im not asking that im asking why the crate is untradable[/QUOTE]

Because you are supposed to open it with the key you got... :frog:

and not to trade it away.

Somebody told me that they're erasing our backpacks after some update... is this true or something? And does anyone have an explanation to why they gave us the Pile o' Gifts, Secret Saxton... Name/desc tag... Team Spirit paint etc.?

And to fix the Shogun bug just extract the models and materials from the original .gcf to your tf2beta directory. Sorry if I'm late.

I'm assuming that will take forever.

I wouldn't be surprised. A lot of people crafted all of their items at the beginning of the beta into a hat.

[NeoDement]

I hope they don't because I got a bunch of set hats, shit was cash

Go die in a horrendous fire, Steam.

It wants to redownload the entire beta, and my DL speed is 300 KB/s. Not fun.

[Doodles]

Wait, so now you can made videos directly from tf2 now and upload them to tf2. How do you do that?

From one of the TF2 designers:
[quote=Greenmarine]Regression testing. Make sure nothing broke in the game coordinator's handling of those events, etc.[/quote]

[Gekkosan]

I think the voting is fucking bullshit

but it better vote equally between all maps so noobs don't get to vote pl_maps 24/7

[Political Gamer]

I just want voting to have an option do be disabled server side.

Unless there already is and I am too lazy to look.

Any examples of the new detonator sound?

I can see it getting kind of annoying, but it's really nice to be able tell the difference between it and the Flare Gun until Valve adds the new model.

[QUOTE=Stapler;28688763]... Valve adds the new model.[/QUOTE]

Speaking of which, I'd like to see Valve [b]actually[/b] make a model this time, not just take some Flare Gun lookalike from the community and slap it on. (If this does get placed in the real TF2)

It will be flaregun with flames painted on.

Sad but true.
I'd like homemade(as all Pyro items) flaregun with remote control antenna sticked to it.

[Psychopath]

Judging by the sound, they might make it like some makeshift bottle rocket or something :v:

Cool. I e-mailed Robin about this a few months ago.

Robin: We shall add the Shogun items into the TF2 Beta... [i]without the models![/i]

Gabe: Yes, we will also give a crate with an unusual shogun hat inside to TheCactusman so when he gets it, it's useless!

Nah, with the GRU that made sense because everyone knows flames make things go faster.
