    this is the ultimate spy script and I fully intend to use it

    Couldn't you just stab somebody or shoot em, then press "4" and taunt?

    Yes, but I never remember in time. Now I have one super button that does all the work for me!

    How do I use it?

    Just paste/enter it in the console, or put it in autoexec.cfg. Replace n with whatever button you want to use.

    I use a script to make the medigun not a terrible chore, so its always autofire. I noticed the guy in the Gametrailer's preview of goldrush was using it too.

    You know you can just set the medigun to not release, right? So you click once and it stays on that target.

    Under Options->Multiplayer->Advanced, IIRC.

    They added this to the options menu. It's in the Advanced window in the Multiplayer tab (along with not zooming back in as a sniper and suiciding when changing classes, etc)

    [edit] Too slow ... although this makes me wonder if they used scripts for said functionality. :P

    Its not the same as my script, since it keeps firing if I break the beam on someone it'll immediately catch the next target, and I just tap to switch between people, I don't like the option thing because I have to hit fire everytime someone walks too far away.

    I'm just having a good time on holiday, but yeah i couldnt get a flight. I do that whole discount tickets 30 minutes before flight leaves routine and unfortunately its been no dice. so yeah I've flat out bought a ticket for tuesday. I might poke on and off from time to time, but I've got flaky internet

    Reverse rocketjumps. They like never fail ever. You don't even have to look behind fully, just peek to the side fire and crouch jump at the same time. they make up for the fact you rarely take fall damage, and they push you a greater distance horizontally, allowing quick getaways and the like.

    That's pretty much exactly the opposite of what it takes to get onto the roof of B.

    Notice how I said:
    What they lack in sheer height (you'll just about land on the roof as opposed to flying in on a high arc)

    It'll get you up there inspite of the other properties, but faster and less fall damage. In fact, I find doing the reverse rjump allows me to get onto C on gpit first time, everytime, unlike some people who do it the normal way, miss in the heat of the moment (which happens often), and then land at the very bottom stairs and have to walk it up like retard-rejects.
    If you take the time to practice, you can also reverse rjump from near the red spawn to the very last ramp that leads up to C.

    it's also nice for hallway jump when hallways are littered with stickies. also, you can s hoot off a wall and crouch for the same effect (kinda.)

    Alright, so you're telling me that CAL and CEVO don't have you run clients during a match that checks for illegal configs?

    I'd like to see the proof. lol.

    Ah, yeah. Me too. Which is why I don't use the option, but I'm just too lazy to use a script either.

    I played Spy for two maps and on one of them I was kind of okay and maybe made an Engineer or two mildly vexed for a couple of minutes.

    Maybe I am this great Spy you speak of!

  • ProspicienceProspicience The Raven King DenvemoloradoRegistered User regular
    Oh you know, maybe it was Zot? I dunno thought it was you so now I'm just confused.

    I have the Orange Box for 360, but never really played TF2 on it since it's shitty lag. I've decided to get this for PC.
    Do Gamestops sell something akin to MS point cards for Steam? I don't have a Credit Card, so that's not an option. If not, how much is the standalone game in box?

    So I'm doing a test, and creating a database with ever single kill that occurred in my server for the past four months.

    One log file is roughly one game (3 wins, or time limit reached on a single map). I have 1,767 of them so far.

    I'll get some interesting kill stats soon. This go 'round won't have anything like assists, building destruction, or stuff of that nature. I'm really just testing to see how big the database is going to be, and what kind of stats we can get. My parser has been going for about 30 minutes now, and I'm 224 files in. You guys need to get a life. ;-)

    If you absolutely need to, you could always buy one of those pre-paid Visa cards at a retail store and use it to buy it off Steam at the sale price.

    They accept PayPal as well, in case you just have a checking account...

    It's 50 bucks for the entire Orange Box. Which for that many games is still a really good deal.

    I have it on 360, so it's only really TF2 I want. I think I'll do the Visa giftcard, that's a very good idea. I just want to make sure that works. I remember trying to turn those into MS Points once and it not going through due to lack of a name.

    GameStop retail prices for the individual games are exactly the same as they are online, you just have to pay sales tax (which you don't if you run through Steam).

    If I remember correctly, TF2 and HL2:EP2 are both 30, and Portal is 20.

    EDIT: oh, the sale. yeah, you're not getting that price through GameStop, you'd have to buy it online. I support the earlier idea of buying a prepay Visa, as long as the price to buy it isn't too steep. EDIT2: Just remember that with most of the prepay cards, before you can use them online, you have to register them for online use, sometimes you have to call and register them just to use them the first time anyway.

    I kinda wanted to get in on that whole $20 for TF2 deal before it's gone.
    Also, I'm in NH so no sales tax anyway. :D
