Hey everyone,
We are finally ready to publicly announce our community/project: FullBuff. It's a hub dedicated to enhancing the gaming experience across various titles. While we're starting out with a focus on competitive TF2, our goal is to expand and support a wide range of games in the future.
What is FullBuff?
FullBuff serves as the central point for our initiatives. We're committed to providing tools and services that simplify setting up and managing competitive gaming servers, starting with TF2.
Automated Server Hosting
If you've ever found setting up servers for competitive play to be a hassle, check out our hosting platform: hosting.fullbuff.gg. We've automated the server setup process so you can jump straight into the game. Based on community requests, we're also working on expanding our server support to regions beyond Chicago and plans to include other games soon.
Please be aware! Since we are a small operation right now, our stock of available servers is limited. However, we are constantly expanding, so be on the lookout in our discord linked below for when more servers become available!
Get Involved on GitHub
For those interested in contributing or exploring the technical side, our GitHub repository is open for collaboration: github.com/Full-Buff. We welcome anyone who wants to get involved, whether you're into TF2, other games, or development in general.
Quake Live Support
Currently we host public servers dedicated to the PQL game mode on Quake Live, including duel, TDM, and clan arena in both Chicago and Virginia. You can find these servers by going to our server listing page or by searching Quake Live servers by the "fullbuff" tag. We are interested in supporting Quake in a bigger capacity, any feedback or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Our Roadmap
Curious about what's next? Take a look at our roadmap. We regularly update it with new features and improvements based on your feedback.
Join Our Community on Discord
Our Discord server is where the community comes together. Join us at discord.fullbuff.gg to connect with people, get support for our hosting services, and ask any questions you might have. This will be our main community hub as we grow and expand.
Looking forward to seeing you around!
Best regards,
The FullBuff Team
PS: you should totally star our repos on github if you like them, thanks -Fuko

How is this different from https://na.serveme.tf/ ? (besides the support of non tf2 games)

Serveme allows you to rent a server for a few hours that comes preloaded with various common maps and configs. Server availability is dependent on if you are a premium user or not and also on a first come first serve basis. The service that we offer allows you to rent a server from us that you have total control over on a monthly basis, you can access all the servers' files unlike serveme. for more specifics take a look at our knowledgebase.

Awesome. I'm just wondering if there is any chance that non comp servers would be added? I've noticed almost any server hosting for casual play is a lot rarer and I'm wondering if that's because modes like MvM (presumably) use up a lot of resources.

TankerzUnitedAwesome. I'm just wondering if there is any chance that non comp servers would be added? I've noticed almost any server hosting for casual play is a lot rarer and I'm wondering if that's because modes like MvM (presumably) use up a lot of resources.
Yes! This is definitely in the works. I have actually been working on this with someone who does MvM Lowmanning and uses one of our servers. As far as I am aware, the only resource limitation they have hit was on storage, but that was due to an error I discovered on their server which I was able to resolve.
As for standard casual servers, I would love to add a config option for them to our offerings, we just haven't had any request for one yet. Modifiable server resources are also on the to-do list, so for casual servers with 20+ people connected we should hopefully have that covered also. This should probably be the easiest config to get working if people want this.
As always though, all of our servers have the same base and can be completely manipulated by the owner. Adding or even removing whatever plugins, maps or configs you need is totally possible, now.
If any of that interests you, feel free to reach out!

Hey Everyone,
First update with a project I have been working on. We have finally gotten to have our first, successful, play test of a new plugin I made that, for the first time that I am able to find, implements a proper Team Death Match mode in TF2 (please make me aware of any that may already exist).
By "proper" I mean, while the plugin is running, a round will play out to completion with no time limit while counting the total kills of each team, ending when one team reaches the specified "fraglimit".
Those of you who have scoured the full list of available console commands and variables in TF2 (found here) will probably recognize this term from the already existing command "mp_fraglimit".
This command does essentially what a TDM mode would do, end the map when a specified number of kills is reached. However, this command seems to only function properly inside of maps created for the "arena" gamemode, which limits what maps we can use it on significantly.
With this context, I have successfully recreated this behavior in a standalone plugin that can be used on any map, on top of any gamemode. While some quality of life features such as customizing the HUD elements have not been fully implemented, using the plugin in its current state will give you a classic TDM style experience, hopefully with FFA in the future as well.
If you would like to check this plugin out for yourself, I have named it simply "fraglimit". You can find it on our GitHub here:
https://github.com/Full-Buff/fraglimit
Since this is still a WIP, all feedback is welcome! If you would like to check out the new gamemode but dont have a server or enough players to play with (so far we have stuck with a 4v4 format) come by our discord where we will be trying to run games more regularly. I will also be making an announcement there when I setup a 24/7 TDM server for the public to join.
https://discord.fullbuff.gg/
TLDR; I made a cool TDM plugin for TF2! Check it out on our github and come play with us sometimes on our discord!
