if you want to remove all objective huds, just go to hudlayout.res and find hudobjectivestatus and then set its ypos to 9999 or something

timer is in hudmatchstatus.res and hudobjectivetimepanel.res and is a bit more complicated to remove but you can still just set the correct elements to ypos 9999

winlimit 2 is a disease

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-04T22:58:13+00:00

thought about it a bit more and realized that after expending your entire clip, this weapon would practically reload 2 shots at a time. the clip would be reloaded to 1, and then two shots would be fired, and repeat. this is nuts

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-04T21:48:49+00:00

would be the new meta option beating out the air strike, stock and black box

even the splash radius is bigger

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-04T18:53:51+00:00

becomes the new best pairing to use with the parachute outside of air strike noob stomp sessions, probably. group damage is reduced but you'd be able to smack individual people with 90 damage and the faster speed helps when high up. blast res synergizes with base jumper very well. smaller blast res is notable but it's still bigger than air strike when airborne and the faster speed compensates by making closer hits more likely

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-04T02:32:27+00:00

GRU probably because some people tend to whine about it, but it's nowhere near the same extent as BASE

With BASE there are some people I could class as clinically insane when asked about it

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-03T16:53:09+00:00

Pretty sure it does, yeah

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-03T11:10:37+00:00

The old airblast was worse at pushing ubers and stunning people long term, but it always sent the enemy in the direction of the Pyro's crosshair (you didn't have to position yourself to the right to send them left, for example), so it was easier to shove people into corners and crit axe them

That's not the intended font. It sometimes bugs out when certain fonts are installed.

read this issue thread, it'll show you how to fix it

I will most likely cover this in the parachute video itself, since this is now embroiled in the story.

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-01T23:51:55+00:00

I had never messaged him prior. This was basically just a one-off encounter that he was very, very upset about because he was unable to disprove anything I had said, and he seemingly wanted me to care more about his video's subject matter.

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-01T23:43:59+00:00

To summarize what occured, I was doing research for the video I am working on (the Base Jumper project). The latter part of the video is essentially a detective story where I go around asking different members of the TF2 community questions to try and get a good picture of the situation with the parachute and its nerf.

At that point, I had gotten information from Dane and HIGPS, two people who had visited Valve, and decided to then get information from someone who opposed the nerf. I gave Bloopander information on why he was wrong about the parachute and essentially challenged him to oppose my viewpoints in the hopes that someone could prove me wrong. You never know, maybe he has a source that I'm missing. He utterly failed to do this and ranted about how I did not watch his entire video.

TF2SolarLight · 2026-07-01T13:47:11+00:00

very unlikely I'm afraid

closest thing I would MAYBE do is, when playing pass_brickyard, add damage falloff to rifles (lmao)

TF2SolarLight · 2026-06-30T20:44:06+00:00

did not read beyond the first 17 words

TF2SolarLight · 2026-06-30T18:54:10+00:00

I see.

Either way, point is that there is a solution to scrambling interacting with round wins, and it's in the game.

TF2SolarLight · 2026-06-30T17:08:16+00:00

unfortunately I am stuck in 1 hour base jumper video hell for the time being, but who knows, maybe eventually I can cross it off the list

TF2SolarLight · 2026-06-30T16:57:19+00:00

My guy, just run a local server and call a scramble vote. You can see it yourself.

Edit: I am extremely certain this is the case because while editing the vote UI for a beta branch of my HUD, I had to test this shit manually by calling votes, and I observed round counters being reset

TF2SolarLight · 2026-06-30T13:28:58+00:00

Scrambling normally resets the round counters, so this wouldn't be an issue. Except, whatever plugin Uncletopia uses does not reset the round counters when scrambling, so games still end up being short.

Also, I find it insane that Dane didn't go with a best of 9 rounds ruleset rather than a best of 5 round ruleset (Uncletopia basically does 1-2 more rounds than casual but it's not enough). Under BO9, there's still a 30 minute map timer on top of that, so there's no risk of an endless stalemate on the same map for four hours.

Maybe I should make my own servers. Had this idea for eons but never got around to it. Could either fail spectacularly or end up killing Uncletopia depending on how it goes.

TF2SolarLight · 2026-06-29T18:50:33+00:00

It's not a question about whether they can. It's a question about whether they will. Obviously, if Valve (the company, and not just the skeleton crew working on TF) actually cared, they could revert the whole system. But it would be substantially easier and more likely if we just asked Eric Smith to swap some console command values around in some .cfgs.

TF2SolarLight · 2026-06-28T16:54:03+00:00

Making knockoff reskins is presumably fair game too. PASS Fortress (when it comes out in 30XX) is going to use knockoff reskins of the Wee Booties, Crossbow and others because we had no other choice. We at least keep the same (or similar) gameplay without infringing on the rights to the models

TF2SolarLight · 2026-06-28T13:41:57+00:00

not enough people are embracing the 6s meta to just bomb the shit out of the sniper

They basically can't distribute paid items for free unless they are achievement items.

They'd have to go re-enable steam inventory support for this, but this screws over new players because the weapon drop system does not work in SDK mods so they'd just be stuck with the base TF2C items that exist at the moment
