Update 13 October 2011 wrote:
Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)
- Fixed an issue with the multi-threaded renderer which could cause a crash on map change
- Adjusted whitespace to improve formatting in status command output
- Changed stats output to show KB/s instead of bytes/sec, added a connections column, and changed the users column to "Map changes"
- Fixed game servers not being able to execute the retry command due to the dependence on the connect command (which is not executable by game servers)
- Made sndplaydelay executable by servers
- Server frame rate is now based on the tickrate of the active Source mod, not the fps_max convar
- Server processing delays have been reduced, especially for servers on modern Linux kernels

- Multi-threaded server code is now enabled by default under Linux (already enabled on Windows)
- An exploit with non-printable characters causing lag on Windows servers has been fixed
- CPU is fully yielded back to the system whenever the server is running faster than the tickrate
- Dramatic increase in performance for low-level math libraries

- Added new co-operative high five taunt

- Characters can now equip two misc-slot items at once
- Added a new in-game abuse-reporting system (see "Capture abuse report data" under "Miscellaneous" controls)
- Non-newly-released weapons in the store can now be tried out for free once per week! This will give you a fully-functional version of the weapon to be used in-game for no cost. If you decide you like it, you can purchase it for a discount during the trial period.
- All items purchased in the store can be used for crafting and can be traded after a few days
- Added a new startup music track from Meet The Medic
- Integrated with the new Steam Workshop to enable the publication and management of community contributed content

Maps:
- Added new community control point map Gullywash. Stamps are available in the store to support community map authors!
- Barnblitz is now available for offline practice
- Frontier: various geometry fixes
- Gorge/5Gorge: added team-specific func_nobuild brushes in elevated forward spawn areas

Replay:
- New camera shake functionality added for replays that are not sufficiently dramatic

Response Rules:

- Added additional Jarate hit responses
- Demoman:
- Added achievement award response
- Removed "I didn't need your help y'know" line if being healed by a Medic
- Saxxy kills will use the same lines as kills from the frying pan

- Soldier:

Bots:
- TFBots have a percentage chance of noticing weapon fire based on their difficulty level. Easy bots are fairly oblivious, and Expert bots notice pretty much everything.
- TFBots now treat certain weapon attacks as "quiet" (Spy knife, cloaking/uncloaking, some melee weapons, fists, etc). "Quiet" weapons can only be heard by TFBots when nearby, and their chance of being noticed is halved if the environment is "noisy" (ie., lots of non-quiet gunfire going on in the area). This greatly improves Spies ability to backstab TFBots without the entire team immediately turning on them.
- Spy bot improvements:
- Spy bots are much better about circling around and backstabbing their victims now
- Improved Spy bot target selection in some situations (ie: clusters of sentries and enemy players)
- Spy bots will give up on an attack and retreat if an enemy sentry gun aims at them
- Spy bots now avoid nearby enemies while disguised and/or cloaked so they don't bump into them and give themselves away
- Spy bots now have a simple notion of when their "cover is blown" now
- Spy bots lead their target's position as they chase them down for a backstab now
- Spy bots don't go after victims until setup time has elapsed
- Hard and Expert Spy bots avoid looking at their prey until they get close and go for the stab
- Easy Spy bots don't avoid enemies, or try to get behind before stabbing
- Normal Spy bots don't avoid enemies
- Fixed bug where Spy bots would jump against the enemy spawn gates during setup time
- Medic bot improvements:
- Medic bots stick much closer to running patients now
- Medic bots stick much closer to their patient if they have an Ubercharge ready, or are deploying their Uber
- Medic bots hide from Sentryguns now, too
- Pyro bot improvements:
- Pyro bots are less "pushy" with their compression blast, but will use it against Ubers and to get enemies off of a capture point

Other:
- Razer Hydra support can be enabled via "sixense_enabled 1" in the console. See http://sixense.com/tf2 for details.
- Added "tf_allow_taunt_switch". Set to 0 for disallowed (default behavior), 1 for old bug behavior, or 2 to allow weapon switching any time during the taunt.
- Screenshots can now be hooked up to the Steam Community automatically. There is a new option to control this under "Miscellaneous" in the Advanced Options page.

Can we get rid of dustbowl from rotation, 24 people (cp5gorge) down to 14 (dustbowl)... it is a badly designed and dull map.

Saint, there is a bit of a bug currently which has occurred post the replay update. If you could possible look at the issue and see if there is a possible resolution or not I and the regulars would be very grateful.

Zombiestalin and a few others were having issue with auto-rejoin. Basically, since the replay update on the server, if a player sits with auto-rejoin on they will keep joining and being booted on loop; which I believe has something to do with the "replay" player. Is there away of resolving this, because this is causing player decline as they sit there patiently waiting, finally get a slot, then get booted. It hasn't been an issue for players without a reserved slot until the replay update, so the bug must be something to do with that. Is it possible to get a resolution for this?

Hi,

This is a known problem and not yet fixed. The community doesn't know yet if this is something that VALVe or Sourcemod needs to fix.

Valve needs to fix it for behaving different than STV. Someone crafty with SM could probably fix this in a matter of minutes by adding some extra checks.

EDIT: Someone did
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread ... erved+slot

EDIT2:
Upon comparing it with the original reservedslots, might want to ignore that one :ugly:
Code:
new clients = GetClientCount(false) - 1;

Yes :P they just sort of put it in the game on it's own as regular community made misc, it's a direct reference the doctor though.

that sounds pretty cool. for a while now tf2 has been maxing out my memory usage so hopefully this will help (i know that running vista on 2gb of memory is a pretty terrible idea, but still :ugly: )
