Website updates, Config Update and Admin Changes

We’ve made some updates to the forums in an attempt to make everything just that much easier to find. The newest addition is the Training & Tactics Forum, where one can go for all questions and discussions on competitive TF2. This is of course the place to be for the newer players amongst us, who can learn more about the awesomeness that is competitive TF2 from insights and knowledge shared by the equally welcomed veterans.

Furthermore we have merged the Requests and feedback sections, the new Feedback & Requests Forum can be found here.

Important Note: Remember to update the forum watch list on your profile, if you want posts from these forums to show up in your list of recent posts. You can do so here.

Config Update: Cleanup, Highlander and Automatic Map Configs

The beloved wizard of configs,  Chris, has worked his magic on the ETF2L config. The result is a much cleaner, updated config and a config pack that can easily prepare your server for 6v6, highlander or even ultiduo. Simply download the config pack and put all its contents on your server. The configs will then make sure that all settings are automatically executed upon loading any stopwatch, 5cp, or payload map used in ETF2L. Grab the config pack here.

Please note that when playing highlander on gravelpit, you will have to turn the whitelist off by executing the highlander config (exec etf2l_hl).

If you want to stick to the old fashioned single configs, you can find the etf2l config here, and the additional highlander config here. Please note that using those will mean you have to correct windifference, timelimit and winlimit when playing stopwatch or koth maps.

Spike’s Special Site Updates: Player & Team Profile pages

• To please the stalker folk on ETF2L, player profile pages will now show when you have last been online.
• On the team profile pages you will now find player history collapsed after a mere 5 entries, and the list of demos and former team names is now collapsed as well.
• A player’s team history is now shown in the form of a collapsible table, very much like the player history on the team profile page.
• Team history can also be filtered by team type, enabling you to show only a player’s 6v6 or Highlander teams.

These are only minor changes, but we do intend to keep these coming so as to continue improving our website and your browsing pleasure. We are currently re-working the way the recruitment section works, to get rid of a few bugs and allow a clear distinction between 6v6 and Highlander posts. Also soon to come is a neat overview of season/match history on player profiles. Watch this space!

Any website related feedback is very much welcomed in the new website feedback thread.

Admin Changes

The day has finally come. baerbel, who has been in the admin staff since… forever, has quit. He explained his departure with the following sentences:

[02:08:01] <@baerbel`> oh also, thank you guys for the awesome time but i think i will stop admining for now, i havent been active at all in the past months
[02:08:17] <@baerbel`> and i dont think my gusto will change anytime soon
[02:08:33] <@baerbel`> so goodbye and thanks for the fish :D
[02:08:40] <@Refuse|Bill> baerbaddie
[02:08:45] <@Refuse|Bill> don’t go :<
[02:08:57] <@baerbel`> naw its cool , i rather leave than chill and not do shit

CanFo is probably the only person profiting from his loss, because now he can justifiably claim to be the best (German) admin at ETF2L.

Don’t panic! You’ll see some fresh blood coming in soon.
