Need context, I don't follow TF2V.

>>16432200

All I want is a version of TF2 that's exactly how it was during the engie update. Why can't anybody do something as simple as that?

>>16432198

Do you really need context to see that all servers are 0/24?

>>16432210

Yeah and some want release TF2, and some want the mannconomy update, and others want current year with stock only. This is the fucking problem.

Hello cuckchan

>>16432219

That's weird, because Medic update was when the game peaked.

>>16432219

Oh, that's it? I thought there was something else I didn't see.

>>16432248

>and stock-only TF2 is best TF2.

Well, we can always play the TF2 1.0.1.8 port in that case

>>16432225

And 39 of those were S'Arais.

>>16432291

>All this drama doesn't matter.

It does, cause /v/ is filled with prissy cunts. So lets say you set up a TF2V server. You'd get maybe five people at best, because everyone will just smug post and give you >TF2V >playing TF2 >not playing my special version of TF2.

>>16432268

>I don't get why we can't just host a stock only server on regular TF2

The game recieved countless graphical downgrades over the years along with some weapons even getting nerfed (Pyro's afterburn and airblast for example)

>>16432200

>make (((discord))) to centralize patch release and gaynights

It only turned into that when people from the threads themselves piled in, showing off how contrarian most are. There were mainly like 3-4 outsiders at the start.

>never make preparations to move out into steam group/IRC

Last I remember from Z'gok was him stating he wanted steam to catch up to goycord so roles could be set so not everyone was getting bombarded with alerts only to find a everyone

>IRC

Good luck convincing normalfags to join that

>add a bunch of completely unneeded shit

Can agree there, why they added the mannconomy shit and crap like warrior's spirit I'll never know.

>as a result, /v/ stops playing and hosting game nights with anons of any kind because it was made clear that cuckscord was not a temporary measure

No, the goycord was never meant to be a temporary measure. Z'gok intended it to act as a containment, anons in the threads kept sperging but personally I'm glad it happened because I don't want MORE redditors infesting this site.

>/vg/ a ghost town

compared to /v/ yes

>serbs die because only facepunch refugees from TF2C play this

Watching the whole thing from the sidelines it seemed at one point anons killed it because they couldn't treat the discord like the threads and server. So in a act of retardation they claimed the entire project had cucked out, then you had the 4am thread fag who has the hots for arab chicks shitting up the server, and lastly a group of furries that started lashing out in the thread.

Honorary mention goes to MSM that quit "managing" the thing. Bachi didn't deserve this.

Dude's not even worth mentioning. He did so little for the project The only reason people will remember him is they bring him back up from time to time. Bachingo on the other hand did far more than anything I saw from anyone relaying "devanon"'s work, in fact it was Bachingo who figured out that the original build vintage was based off was so broken.

>>16432248

Fuck it, at this point it's possible to take Vintage's codebase and just outright strip the shit out that shouldn't be there and then once all the assets are packed in, convert them to vtf format to reduce filesize.

>>16432291

Not going to happen, the project is marred and the last attempt at a gamenight a month ago had the thread on /v/ bumplocked. Mark is still upset about the time he tried to play and everyone walked allover him. Was funny watching the slide from team switching to a full on rage quit

TL;DR

Take the code of vintage, and just fork it. shit is open source

>>16432155

>using steam

you deserve everything you get.

>>16432425

Nigger how else am I supposed to play the game?

>>16432536

>if i dont use grindr, how am i supposed to get fucked in the ass?

>>16432580

>Every game on steam is bad

Fag

>>16432642

>every game on steam is ONLY on steam

retard.

Umm why the fuck was this videogames thread bumplocked?

>>16432670

you can play this without steam by using revemu

I always wanted to play with you guys, even back when TF2C servers were up with that swastika map. But I don't have Steam anymore and won't go back, and I was always too lazy to follow the steps in TF2V threads to get the game set up without it to play with everyone. I wonder how many other anons lurking felt the same way.

I imagine if the devs took the position of "fuck the kikes, we pirate mod now" and made the target a no-Steam standalone mod, no setup required (rather than having a Steam and no-Steam version), a lot more higher quality anons would download and play instead of the kind of faggots that still use Steam. Where to upload the game would be a problem, but I think it would be worth it for how easy it would be to get more anons playing.

The question of where does the mod draw the line is one that can't really be answered, because you won't make everyone happy. Another thing to consider is what you will do once you achieve your goal. You should honestly leave it at that and not let people rope you into more shit. You will just upset people and lead to the same reasons people quit TF2 in the first place, then TF2C, then TF2V. Just like make mod, then quit, and whoever likes it will play that mod. Your community goal should be built around playing the game, not trying and failing to improve what already brought people in. People don't like change, and they will get fed up and quit playing because of it. As for faggot servers, well, as long as anons can host their own servers, I don't really give a shit who else is playing. I wouldn't play with randoms anyway.

>>16432248

I swear if that is you Alpha fuck off.

>>16432781

>>16432781

Basically, what needs to be done is that a group of anons need to make a version of TF2 that's the exact same as it was during the Engie update with a stock-only option and have it be non-steam while still having a server browser.

Probably easier said than done but I hope somebody does it.

wait a sec why the fuck is this thread anchored?

>>16432781

>even back when TF2C servers were up with that swastika map.

Wasn't around for that, how did the map look like?

>>16433209

Do people gloss over the fact vintage is open source so that is entirely possible

>>16436041

Post salt

>>16433209

TF2V already has this, both the stock-only option and no-steam. Try playing the game instead of parroting what other anons claim about it.

>>16437050

But TF2V still has shit from after the Engie upsate and pussies out on weapons like the Sandman giving it post-mannconomy stats, retard

>Engie Update

>Post-Mannconomy

Pick one.

August 13, 2009 Patch (Classless Update)

The Sandman's stun effect went under numerous changes.

Players using this weapon will now receive 1 point for stunning an enemy and 2 points for a long range stun.

Stunned players now take 75% of all incoming damage instead of 50%.

ÜberCharged players can no longer be stunned.

Heavies spinning their Miniguns will continue to spin when stunned (whether the left or right mouse button is pressed).

The minimum distance to stun a target has been reduced.

The negative attribute was changed from "no double jump" to "-30 max health".

[Undocumented] Primary fire for the Sandman now swings the bat, while alt-fire now launches the baseball.

[Undocumented] Added swinging animations to the Sandman when a Scout swings the bat with the ball still in his hand.
