Re: [hlds] TF2 - Removing Halos
Now that hat chances have increased idling with actual game minimized will be quite an adventure since there is actual hope for hats. Of course because of this people will idle more. Oh and they will be honest, cause u can still run game, minimize and idle on server without afk kick. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Vac Ban for Idle program @ Source Op?
many people use that achievement unlocker in slow fashion and even quick fashion and dont have their weapons removed so yea. As to someone mentioning tf2 using gpu, if you run the game minimized gpu is not used at all and runs idle the only drawback of running tf2 minimized vs not at all is memory usage by the system. cpu usage is about 1% and gpu no more than in 2d windows mode when you run tf2 minimized idle on any server.

Re: [hlds] Custom crosshairs put in a crosshair when the sniper rifle isn't zoomed.
thats the definition of custom crosshair... normal crosshair in that class and weapon is "no crosshair" but just as for any class if you choose custom crosshair it overwrites it and uses that.

Re: [hlds] Status
Let me get something straight, Erik wrote: " When a player or two leaves Left 4 Dead the game suffers quite a bit, and we were worried that the server browser model wasn't the right one for this game." Erik, you don't explain the matchmaking how it solves the problem you are talking about. How does "console style" matchmaking solves the problem of people leaving a left 4 dead game? How does server browser supposedly does not solve this problem?
