official Team Fortress 2

So, with the stuff I was talking about earlier. I was waiting on a few item drops and must have hit my cap for the week, but anyway some guy on a server gave me a Scrap Metal for free, which was nice. And I crafted a Professional's Panama! :D

All is well.

Nice, that's one of the better Sniper hats (and I must say, I've changed my stance on the Trophy Belt since the new paint tint maps were released)

And yeah, there's a limit or around 20 items a week (Which you can hit in a day due to the way they changed how often drops are given, which is better)

The limit is actually around 12 items, but the limit can also carry over from previous weeks. So if you don't play for a week, you could get 20 or so items in the following week.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

That would make sense, one night idling got me 20 items, but I hadn't played for a few weeks before that.

Yeah, the most I got was 30 items over a few days of idling, but that was after not playing for a few weeks, but the normal if you play ever day is around 10-12 a week before the drops stop.

Yeah, interestingly the Trophy Belt has become more popular, at first it was regarded as one of the worst hats as it was only a different belt on the Sniper's current hat. But it seems to be more popular now, the Bucket Hat seems to be the least popular.

That was absolutely fantastic! Bravo!

[inferniac]

F'in awesome. Gotta love the creativity TF inspires.

Brilliant!

First, Thanks for the info on the tf2 wiki, I thought that was the website they bought. It's good to know. :blush:

Second, logged on today, and ... 10 minutes later, got myself another festive Christmas crate. :happy:

Now if my wish could come true that it's a 100% unusual drop of your choice item.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Finally got a festive crate, only took 30 hours of idling to get.

I found one just during gameplay last night, well chuffed. Is there any way of opening them yet?

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Finally got mine via trading with someone, two weapons and a Dueling Game.

[Nagisan]

No way to open them yet but rumor has it there are some holiday-based items being added soon. No idea if they will be weapons or hats or what specifically of even if they will be wearable only during a certain time, but they will most likely drop from the crates.

[giantpotato]

They're probably going to make a craftable holiday key by crafting 8 regular keys :laugh:

Also, turn up your volume.

Does anyone know how to enable raw mouse input in TF2? The option seems to be greyed out for me. Using OS X here.

Windows only.

I got two in a matter of hours. Random drops are random indeed.

Hmmm....might be something enabled only in Windows? Can't imagine why since raw input should get input from the mouse regardless of OS, but I am running Windows and it is enabled and works fine here...

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Apparently it's possible on OS X as well, but it's messy (You have to intercept low level system events, and you can only do that as the root user)

Windows on the other hand offers a normal API for it, so any app can do it easily there.

Yeah, I just looked it up, raw input doesn't work properly on the Mac (like you said it's difficult and messy to implement) so the option is disabled. You can always try setting "m_rawinput 1" in the console and seeing if that does anything, but don't expect it to work properly.

[Ionium]

Gotcha, thanks
