Couple questions: 1. Still no way to check the status of quickplay on a server? I've been asking everyone who shows up, but they are all coming from server browser. Quick checklist: Copied halloween mapcycle, set eventmix tag (sv_tags are now "_registered, cp, alltalk, eventmix"), have "tf_mm_servermode 1" in my server.cfg.
2. Is there a minimum of players to start the event? (I think 10 last year to spawn Monoculus, gifts, etc) 3. Will halloween related drops like cursed objects be subject to the weekly drop limit like normal items or will I continue to get Halloween items if I marathon some tf2 this week? Thanks!
