The TF2Maps.net 72Hr Jam

TL;DR: Check this out: http://tf2maps.net/threads/the-2016-winter-72hr-tf2jam.26708/

Hey everyone,

I'm just hijacking this group really quickly to let you guys know about the TF2Maps.net 72hr Jam. Over the year's our 72hr events have become wildly popular with the last one producing nearly 70 maps for TF2 player's to enjoy.

This time we're trying something different and getting content-creators of all walks involved. If you're a mapper, artist, moddler, youtuber, or just want to to get involved you should take head over to take a look at the event page[tf2maps.net]

Hopefully we could even see some new PropHunt maps! If you'd like to test a map for PropHunt in conjunction with this event, give me a poke and I'll try and hook you up with a server to test on, and players to test with.

And now, back to our usual programming, thanks for reading!

Redux Server owners: TF2Items 1.6.4 is now mandatory

Powerlord — Sun, 15 Nov 2015 19:04:48 +0000

I keep forgetting to post this, but if you're seeing server crashes on PropHunt, update TF2Items to TF2Items 1.6.4[builds.limetech.org] or newer.

PropHunt Redux 3.3.3 released

Powerlord — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 17:56:26 +0000

There's a new version of PropHunt Redux out.

If you are using PropHunt Redux, I strongly encourage updating to this version as it fixes both a team switch issues and a crashing issue if you're using the DHooks extension. It also includes new configurations for the Gun Mettle weapons.

You can grab the newest version from the 3.3.3 Release page[github.com].

Note: The PropHunt Redux Server Setup guide has also been updated with PropHunt Redux 3.3.3... as well as some new and updated maps.

GunMettle Update (for server owners)

Powerlord — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 03:52:40 +0000

Hi everybody,

Here's what you need to get your PropHunt server up and running properly after today's update:

TF2Items 1.6.2[builds.limetech.org]. As of this writing, build 270 is the newest.
An updated PropHunt gamedata file[raw.githubusercontent.com]. This fixes team switching not working.
A new PropHunt configuration file[raw.githubusercontent.com]. This fixes the new weapons not following the normal PropHunt rules.
TF2Attributes may need to be disabled until it has new gamedata. While PropHunt Redux supports it, it is only used for fall damage support and PropHunt Redux will fall back to a different method if it is disabled.

I will repackage PropHunt Redux over the weekend to include the new gamedata and configuration file by default.

PropHunter servers: New TF2Items required

Powerlord — Fri, 03 Apr 2015 01:29:46 +0000

Hi PropHunt server owners,

Tuesday's update apparently broke the TF2Items extension. If you are running PropHunt Redux, a new version[builds.limetech.org] of TF2Items is required.

Additionally, I've been hearing that the SourceMod 1.6.x GameData has not been updated for changes to critical hit detection. PropHunt uses this to do both the Flamethrower flying effect and the self-damage effect.

SourceMod 1.7.0 seems to work fine for PropHunt servers.

New weapon config file

Powerlord — Tue, 23 Dec 2014 02:19:19 +0000

Hi guys. I created a new weapon config file[forums.alliedmods.net] for PropHunt Redux that properly sets the weapon damage of the new weapons. Unzip it and put it in the addons/sourcemod/data/prophunt directory.

Since in the default config, all demo grenade and stickybomb launchers are restricted, the new ones are restricted. The shotgun is currently not restricted, but we may restrict it for Pyros only depending on feedback.

SIDE NOTE: You need the latest SourceMod GameData for self-damage to work. If you're having trouble getting GameData downloaded, report about it on AlliedModders[forums.alliedmods.net].

PropHunt now fixed

Powerlord — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 00:17:53 +0000

Today's TF2 update made players stop crashing out if they see a prop die.

You may now resume Prop Hunting.

Clients crashing when props killed

Powerlord — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 02:37:03 +0000

I'm aware of this issue and I'm looking to see if I can find what's causing it and/or a way of working around it.

2014-12-10 update: Eric Smith from Valve is now aware of the problem.
Nothing I've tried so far as a workaround has worked. I have a few other ideas, but if Valve is looking into the problem, not sure if I should spend my time working on a fix.

PropHunt and Dhooks fix

Powerlord — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 01:59:40 +0000

If you run a PropHunt Redux server and use the DHooks extension, you'll need an updated GameData file[github.com] for the team switching to work properly again.

PropHunt fixed with SourceMod 1.5.4-git4087 or newer.

Powerlord — Sun, 29 Jun 2014 16:04:35 +0000

I apologize for not posting this sooner.

PropHunt is working again if you use SourceMod 1.5.4-git4087 or newer.

Note that I have not tested PropHunt against SourceMod 1.6, but I assume it will work. SM 1.6.0 final is expected to replace SM 1.5.3 as the stable release sometime in the near future.

Two new PropHunt maps have been spotted in the wild: ph_campsite_a3 and ph_nightclub_v0_5. Configuration files for these will be included in the next PropHunt Redux release, which is currently in alpha testing.
