Q4Max 0.82 is released

There are 3 significant changes in this release:

• Tutorbot. The tutorbot allows you to record and playback snippets which you can share with other players, or use for practicing yourself. For more details, see the page in the wiki.
  
• cg_unsmoothclients. This new cvar (defaulted to the preferred value of 2), makes the prediction of the other players' positions more accurate, and so makes the game much more playable at higher pings at the cost of some smoothness.
• The Domination gametype ("callvote mode dom"). This is a team-game where you gain points for your team by capturing points throughout the level.

Of course, there are also the usual assorted other tweaks and updates : extra SuperHud options, infinite ammo votes, and fixes for some invisible projectiles coming from nowhere, a gui bug leaking large amounts of memory on dedicated servers, and "the headless quaker" bug.
For full details, see the changelog.

I am working on Team Fortress 2 signatures with Janoz.

If you want one, you can get it on our tiny web-site so far www.gamingstuff.org
Feel free to send us any feedback/suggestions about stuffs what we could add!

For those who are already using it, there is new update, until now signature was showing only most played picture class, but from now on you can change picture of it manually to class you want, random class or without showing any picture. Also you can add your favorite website on the white line spot below.

We are trying to figure out what to do with those achievements, as we all are expecting updates for each class, we are wondering how to make it shown with pictures or in any other way. If you have some good idea please let us know, we will try to make it realize.

I only noticed that multi-ubering about a week ago... was wondering how the medic did it.
good thing they changed the meter for that because multiple ubered demo's/heavies were impossible to defeat

Massive Team Fortress 2 Update Coming in April

Team Fortress 2 will see new map Goldrush, and new unlockable weapons in mid April. Valve will be releasing the new Meet the Scout video, a feature that humorously showcases a particular TF2 class.

Goldrush is described by Robin Walker - Valve's designer and programmer
"the first map in a new game mode we're calling "Payload", where the Blue team escorts a cart loaded with explosives into a Red base. The cart moves faster the more Blue players are near it, and contains a handy dispenser to heal and re-supply them as they escort it. The Red team wins if they can keep the cart from reaching their base."

There is no released plans for new weapon types, it's reported that the Valve wants players to stick to their guns.

Happy Easter to you too TG
