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.

Edited by Audioboxer

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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
