thursday the 15th

So this is why we need patches.

I had a timezone related mindfart there.

So is it thursday or friday? Date or day?

I'd guess it's a valentine's present from valve.

thursday

I hope Badlands is awesome.

I found myself enjoying TEEF last night, a rare thing that I hope is the start of a trend. Hopefully a new map might just give my tastes a shove in the right direction.

TEEF needs a spandex mod so we play it more often.

Apparently the update is now live, and only 3 hours late!

Seems to be. Updates for Portal and Ep2 as well if you care.

it is, our servers are updated.

including (for a few days) 217.112.95.67:27017 5punk.co.uk - Badlands Only

It's good, very balanced unless one team doesn't push forward with attackers, then it becomes pretty much a foregone conclusion, the last point has numerous entrance/exits and is very hard to shutdown.

I have noticed that every time I die I'm now told my sentry gun killed more than the last round, even when I'm not engineering. So either my install is a bit bolloxed or the update has introduced new bugs.

the dustbowl change is rather handy too.

also, some general Steam updates that are quite nice:

Code: Select all

February 14, 2008 - Steam Client Update Released

A Steam client update is now available. To apply the update, click the File menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates...". The specific changes include:

Steam Client


Fixed downloads becoming paused

Improved download speeds

Decreased application launch time

Fixed URL links in chats to not include trailing punctuation as part of the link

Changed group event notifications to open at most 8 dialogs

I've suffered from the paused download thing, but have no way to gauge if download speeds are increased, as the bandwidth monitor quite often reports peak download speeds that are in excess of what's technically possible with my current connection.

Badlands is really helping me get my spy skills up to knack

ZOMG! It has exploit! You can get under the map and build turrets that shoot at the bridge from inside the rocks nearby, I dunno how, but it didn't take long.

Does anyone else get the bug where instead of registering kills as kills, they're "sentry kills" (even as a demoguy or a spy or any other class, lol)

I've had that, didn't do it last night, but did the night of release.

Aaaand, it's fixed (kinda) it's possible to add entities to the map server side (with not downloads for players) so the holes am blocked.

They patched that in an optional update, should be fixed on most servers now.

I just tested and got under the map, both on our server and a random one.

where did you get under on ours?

screenshots please.
