TEEF update

Post by **HereComesPete** » November 1st, 2007, 6:14

Anti bunny hopping code? wtf? Surely jumping around is a rather large part of his game, for scouts at least. And I can honestly say I've not seen anyone hopping around to be a cock like I've seen in beef, the gameplay is too frantic!

it might be that there's hopping around like a cock, and hopping around like a cock to get an advantage.

Haven't tested properly yet, but scout seemed fine.

There might have been a bunny hopping advantage before the update, it did seem that you could move slightly faster by jumping repeatedly as a soldier

It'll be a physics tweak.

Every class moved slighty faster and faster when you kept jumping, this'll be some sort of anti-stacking code for repeated jumpers.

To think we thought this was as shiny as could be when it came out. I love that they are supporting the product after release, are you reading this EA? You bunch of money grabbing cunts, do like valve and actually win respect from gamers, not hatred and rage.

BF2 - Released June 24, 2005, last patch: November 16, 2006

Admittedly, not as long patch wise as say, CS:S, but BEEF is pretty much finished and bug-free now, CS:S is mostly getting engine and server enhancements.

I've never played BEEF so don't feel qualified to comment.

Yeah BF2 is pretty much bug-free, although the server browser is still mega broken for me.

BF2142 however, really needs the supposed "v1.40" patch released.

Game-wise yes, butr the menu system is fucked to hell and back and you know it. Although, granted, it's not a bug as much as it's a broken feature.

This is true, but it's mostly functional, mostly. (apart from in the random cases where the server browser completely dies)

You know.. the more a patch fixes, the buggier game we got at release...

There's no patch that can fix BF2142 for me. Fucking shite game.

That's what you're doing wrong, you're asking too much.

Code: Select all

Required updates to the Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server have been
released.  Please run hldsupdatetool to receive these updates.  The
specific changes include:

Source Engine:
- Fixed a bug in networking that would cause long stalls (up to 10
seconds) when a split packets weren't be reassembled properly, which
forced a full update to the client(s)
- General optimization to tracelines
- Fix for broken .dem file playback
- Added backward compatibility code to allow demos recorded with
protocol 12 to continue to be playable under protocol version 13
- When showing "WARNING: Connection Problem", now indicate the number of
seconds remaining before an auto-disconnect will occur
- Fixed a bug that would cause NULLNAME to be shown as the player's name
in the scoreboard for a short time.

Team Fortress 2:
- Fixed exploit where spectators could spawn into the world without
actually joining a team

Hydro map changes:
- Fixed an exploit that would allow players to jump out of the map

Granary map changes:
- Cover changes to the first capture points of both teams. Reduces some
of the sight lines for defenders, and should make the area easier to
capture
- Teams that are holding more points will receive a greater spawn time
bonus (spawn timer reduced for the winning team). This should help
attacking teams build momentum
- Minor visual tweaks to the BLU side between capture points 2 and 3
- Clipped off a super high (demo pipe jump) perch in the middle area
- Increased base round timer to 10 minutes
- Added windows overlooking the final cap from the capture point 2
building (via new room next to conveyor route)
- Minor changes to lighting in the middle area
- Moved the middle spawn points farther forward (saves 6-7 seconds off a
Heavy's run from this spawn to enemy capture point 2)
- Reduced spawn advantage/penalty to a total of -/+ 6 seconds when on
the final cap (from 10 seconds)
- Fixed material alignment and model interpenetration issues in home
spawn rocket rooms

SourceTV:
- Increased default bandwidth rate from 5 to 8 KB/sec for spectator
clients
- Increased SourceTV demo buffer size for table class descriptions from
64 to 96KB. Team Fortress 2 was running over this
- Performance improvement for copying unreliable data buffers to
SourceTV clients
- Updated the list of events in TF2 tagged for the director to play

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » November 21st, 2007, 3:23

- Server log entries for Round_Win and level changes will now detail the

I'd like to see that. No, really.

I don't recall ever seeing it, I too would like to witness precisely what they look like with no colour identification. I may googletube it for answers.

We only had one guy haxxing on our server, and he disappeared sharpish after using the switch teams/instant respawn with intelligence still on back hax, the cupcake.
