Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released
I think the taunting bug can be triggered by doing a taunt like the conga or something with an extended held animation during humiliation, as a round ends. Then in the next round, when everyone is sent back to their spawn, the player who was taunting at the end sees things normally from first person, but others see them in third person dancing about. Or holding their hand up (high five).

[hlds] TF2: Some model files not downloading since last update?
So, I've been hearing that clients are blocking the downloads of some model-related files since the last TF2 update. Specifically, clients are no longer downloading the VTX files for models (*.dx80.vtx, *.dx90.vtx, and *.sw.vtx) Which completely breaks custom models since these are the files that store hardware-optimized texturing data for a model. Needless to say, this completely breaks game modes that rely on custom models, like Vs. Saxton Hale. The current theory is that the TF2 client is blocking downloads of files that have multiple extensions. Perhaps an exemption is needed for the above mentioned double extensions? -- Ross Bemrose ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] TF2: Some model files not downloading since last update?
If that's true, it will be a disaster for our annual Christmas event (which downloads half a dozen custom gift models). Please fix this asap, guys - this event has been a tradition in our community for 6 years now, and months of planning an preparation go into it.

Re: [hlds] TF2: Some model files not downloading since last update?
OK - yes, I just confirmed this now. This has both broken a current ongoing ARG event we have running (which drops a custom model on the servers), and will break our upcoming holiday event. Again, please fix this asap, guys - our holidays depend on it! Thanks. On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 3:55 PM, E.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
Valve, did you or can you fix the Engineer Gunslinger exploit? There is supposed to be no random critical hits, but if you hold down the fire kill and allow it to hit 2 times, the 3rd hit is like a scripted critical hit.

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released
That is the intended behavior. The item does not allow RANDOM crits. The third-hit crit does not qualify as random. Now there is apparently an exploit where an Engineer can store one of these guaranteed crits for later use, but that doesn't appear to be what you are referring to.
