Sounds, models, decals whatever are fine. Also fakeplayers are fine and
plugins and addons that do not rapidly change the game or affect in it
at all. There is a thin line that is allowed and what is not.

Hello,
I just tried forcing the quickplay beta on my computer to test the
system. It sent me to a UK based TF2 server (I'm in CA; I'm guessing
the quickplay beta server pool is so small that's why it sent me
there), and I had to download a whole bunch of sound files (at least
30), which I'm guessing are used to play random sounds in-game or at
round end. Is Valve OK with that? I was under the impression that a
server labelled Quickplay had to be as Vanilla as possible, including
not having to download extra sound/models.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be allowed, I'm just curious since it's
probably a bit strange for new TF2 players (we get so many new-ish
players that are amazed there's a Respawn Timer in TF2 Payload mode.)
(Maybe the current quickplay already works like this? I admit I don't
use it at all).
Thanks.
HG

be a bit bigger. (It's really low right now.)
In the meantime, you can set the client convar
tf_quickplay_beta_preference = 1
to force into the beta.

Hey Fletch,
Is there a way to opt in to the client side of this
feature? It sounds very interesting and solves the #1
problem I had with quickplay, which is that it
punishes servers that are already empty except when
there's a supply shortage (e.g. immediately after an
update). I'd like to play with it, but it seems like
right now only a few randomly-chosen players get the
golden ticket. My #2 issue is that there's no love
for nocrits, but hopefully a lobby system will pave
the way to having more knobs for players to tweak.
Sorry if this was already answered elsewhere, I'm
discarding mail not from Valve employees because the
signal-to-noise ratio is regrettably low.
