Team Fortress 2 Update Released

[Hectic Glenn]

Nothing hugely special in this update, a couple additions, mostly fixes and some community requests. The most interesting addition is the new +quickswitch command which will allow you to change your current class loadout on each weapon slot using a small panel. Sounds very handy indeed. See the full list below:

• Added "+quickswitch" command, which brings up a small panel allowing you to rapidly change the loadout of your current class & active weapon slot
• Added server ConVar "tf_teamtalk" to allow alive/dead teammates to talk with each other during a match (default is 0)
• Added 1/2 Bonus Point for healing a teammate with a dropped sandvich
• Updated the class menu to show the local player's current class
• Updated server ConVar "tf_playergib" to have 3 settings for player gibs: 0: never, 1: normal, 2: always (default is 1)
• Fixed disguised spies not getting ammo from enemy dispensers

Permanent gibbing is likely to become popular with the community and William. [br]

• Updated "player_hurt" game event to include "damageamount" and "crit" values
• Fixed a rare crash in particle system
• Fixed being able to eat your sandvich (via taunt) and drop it in the same frame
• Fixed not correctly remembering the last weapon if you're using "remember active weapon" and the last weapon was the weapon in slot 0
• Fixed Medic not being able to release his UberCharge if his team won the previous round and the Medigun was his last active weapon (while using "remember last active weapon")
• Fixed not remembering the last active weapon correctly if the player didn't die before the next round restart
• Prevented servers from using steam:// commands in their MOTD text
• Fixed using the regen cabinets to get more health than you should when you switch between weapons with/without max health reduction attributes
• Fixed friendly-fire/spectator exploit using projectiles
• Fixed thrown sandvich traveling through players before being activated
• Fixed sandviches sometimes spawning inside walls, or being thrown through thin walls
• Fixed fire overlay drawing on hats in DX80
• Fixed an exploit that allowed servers to corrupt client's item database
• Fixed full packet updates showing cloaked Spies for an instant
• Fixed a prediction error resulting in mis-predictions of crits

Community requests

• Added new "func_flag_alert" entity that fires an alert when a player carrying a flag starts touching the entity
• Added server ConVar "bot_crouch" to make bots crouch
• Added model override for item_teamflag entity
• Added ability to turn off particle trail for players carrying the item_teamflag entity
• Updated team_train_watcher to support 8 cp/track links (was previously 4)

Cheers for pointing this out, my TF2 and Day of Defeat Source both just updated and it didn't say what had been changed. Wonder what the DOD:S was...
