Look at this screenshot that I made few hours ago. See anything strange?

What is with these cakes, balloons and other birthday stuff?

Check the server again, it probably has a birthday mod. They had those in TFC also with Kazoos going and everything. I was like wtf at first, but it was kinda amusing.

Yea I just joined one like that too. Pretty odd. I remember when the TFC used to do that at christmas etc. Used to add something to the game.

Try killing a heavy; do burgers fly out of him instead of body parts?

I think I am safe to say, your the only person on the planet to ever type that phrase out.I cant stop laughing at it. Must be too late or something.

For sprays, follow this guide. Worked like a charm for my transparent spray.?

You can have transparency without going through all that, you dont even have to use VTFEdit. Using Paint.net just get your image and cut out the background and save it as an uncompressed 32-bit .tga file. Open up TF2 and import the spreay in the options -> multiplayer.

I'd like to see a longer range sentry, maybe have a longer range for each upgrade.

Edit: Today is TF's birthday, hence why the servers have party mode.

The games been out a year already? :|

Time flies.

Engineers next? :woot:

My favourite class. Clocked up 13 hours with that.

What do you guys see the updates to be? I cant really think of anything else to add to the engineer. Then again it could be anything. I someone has posted that the heavy was going to get a sandwich for a weapon replacement weeks ago, they would have been laughed off. So anythings possible :p

I actually thought it was cool in TFC how an engineers wrench added armour at the expense of wrench "ammo" - Something was satisfying about having a purpose to run around whacking your team mates :laugh:

Now I know armour has been taken out of TF2, but maybe a wrench that can add armour again (even temporarily, aka it starts ticking down after the engineer stops hitting)?

Doubt it very much though, like the Pyro +50HP, I think people would feel that was imbalanced. However I guess if every class could be "charged" with armour it may come across as fairer?

Probably a new level SG - Longer range but less powerful?

Faster charging, but less "health" teleporter?

Maybe something to replace the hand gun, it's pretty dire.

My bets are on a Wrench that makes things build and upgrade faster, but does 25/50% less damage.

It would help encourage offensive engineers while making spies more deadly, as most engineers will try and wrench a spy rather than switch to thier shotgun.

I think we can expect a totally different weapon to replace the shotgun if the Flaregun and Sandvich are anything to go by, what they'll do with the Pistol i'm not sure, maybe another pistol that leeches the victims ammo on hit and gives the engineer a small amount of metal?

The classes chosen so far have been Support->Offence->Defence so i think we'll probably be seeing the Spy get his unlocks next, with maybe a homage to the guy that created the Spy hoax page.

For the engineer perhaps a flame turret? Or even a new item altogether to build.

The spy I think should get his tranquilliser gun back, that was fun! :D. But for me, some special fireproof cloak. We all know how annoying it is to get into the enemy base and some pyro blasts you for a spy check and you set alight. Or a longer lasting cloak but you receive nothing but crits if you are hit while cloaked.

The possibilities are endless.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
