I am currently running a VANILLA 24 player TF2 server which has the following VANILLA ?con?figurations:
Demomen shoot Babies/Explosive Barrels (Instead of Pipe Bombs/Sticky Bombs) Sentry Gun/Soldier rockets are Watermelons... Crit Watermelons FTW. I am not using any plugin to bypass Valve's wishes (on that server atleast) and it appears on the internet tab! Cclearly intended functionallity. I don't expect that server will be banned of the serverlist anytime too soon?
