A lot of the new cosmetics that are added to the game are
community-contributed items. All Valve has to do is add the models to the
game files and add it to the schema. Bugfixes + testing take quite a bit
more time.

If your response is directed at me, please don't put words in my mouth.
Nowhere in my message am I demanding for an immediate fix. It's simply an
observation as to the current state of things and higher priority of adding
cosmetics to fixing functionality.

*sigh*
Why don't you try making a fix then? Here's the entire TF2 code, all 100,000
lines or so of it, now find why the item server isn't working and fix it
NOW, not later, I don't want it tested for other bugs, I don't want it put
on a release schedule, I want a fix NOW. Of course I'm not going to give you
any leads, all I can say is the item server doesn't work.

I think the point that's trying to be made in this thread is that when
running servers we shouldn't _have_ to rely on stopgaps like this. It's
great the sourcemod/alliedmods community exists for these sorts of things,
but is that really something server ops should have to end up installing
Sourcemod and Metamod to fix?
I propose a solution to Valve: For each new cosmetic item that is added
from this date onward, they must also fix an outstanding TF2 bug or pick a
function and optimize it. TF2 would be running smoother than greased
lightning in about half a year or so, don't you think?

I have a solution for the Item Server problems that many server owners
deal
with. The Item Server as of now isn't very reliable which is why i have a
Local Item Server Mod installed on my servers. Here is the link:
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1747762
This will basically cache the item server of the user and when the item
server goes down, the users weapons do not. This works really well and i
dont see players complain anymore that my servers Item Server is not
working. I suggest you guys try this mod out because it
is absolutely wonderful.
