There is no way to do it without config cheats in insecure mode (or actual cheat clients), you can't do this while playing. There's a reason you only see this in frag movies. You could maybe get it working via preloading as it's just a texture replacement really but there's no telling how often it would break on Valve servers, on community servers it would probably work.

If you're working on a frag movie, the easiest way is to just use Lawena (a glorified config loader) which has a menu for changing skyboxes (this does not work in normal games!). And if you use HLAE, do not turn off insecure mode and try to connect to normal servers, there's a risk of getting banned.

Also some community maps internally contain the skybox instead of referencing a skybox within TF2's base files. This means that on maps like reckoner, normal skybox replacements do not work and you'd have to play on an alternative version of reckoner with no skybox. So even if you were to do this, it wouldn't work on all maps.

If this is something you want to have a discussion of you'll need to ask yourself whether the problem is high level players not really wanting to put forward the time or whether there isn't a space for them to do so.

Tf2 Coaching Central has spaces for coaches to host classes, events, review sessions and post in a channel meant for guides and resources where people can search for key words for what they're looking for If they can't find an already existing guide in there. We're also working on converting the text channel to a forum with better organization and actual tags. Even though we don't allow high level players to play pugs, coaches can get an exception to just be med locked as well.

Wonder for instance found some of his favourite high level educational videos (both old and new) and posted them there and sometimes would pop in to answer text questions. A lot of high level players think they have to be a professor or bust.

I'm sure RGL is also planning on adding unto their guides section.

I've asked adv / invite players and outside of the Newbie Cup, the consensus is that they'd rather have people come to them than the other way around being fairly content with teaching a small subset of people in private. It would be great even if Invite players kept the same relationships but did it in a public discord so people can at least see a learning environment, perhaps even have people join muted to watch. There's a lecture hall channel explicitly for that purpose. A lot of coaches apply and then never do anything. I can't always blame them but that's the state currently.

I think you should avoid having your name being tied to a service. It's been alright for you because the community is tight knit so the good name of swiftyservers passed fairly quickly but I think it's a bad habit.

If you do want a new alias IMO you should pick something else.

I actually think they are relevant to this thread. Both organizations started as one-stop shops for everybody but naturally just progressed to being NA focused due to lack of EU coaches and player interest.

I can speak a lot more accurately for TF2CC, while it hasn't been advertised that well, wants to give out event runner and pug runner roles for the EU scene. I'm sure Newbie Mixes feels the same but understandably aren't always willing to go super far out of their way for a base that hasn't quite bit the bait when they can work on more projects like the Team Drive or Newbie Cup etc.

Tf2 Coaching Central is hosting our 3rd NA Newbie Cup, as you may have seen; we got a lot of attention from the Valve's blog post and we need more Newbie Cup coaches to fill in the demand.

We're looking for players with IM+ playoffs experience but will accept even seasoned amateur players (or equivalent). Our base ranges from people who are new to the game itsself to experienced pubbers and below 3rd place Newcomer who are all very new to 6's.

This is a 4 week long commitment starting November 18th. You will need to be available online around twice a week, and able to answer text questions from your team throughout.

If you're interested, join the TF2CC discord and apply for coach in the linked channel. Please input "Newbie Cup Coach" in the content section.

EU players are also welcome but keep in mind that all activities will be done on NA time.

(also if you're an EU player and would like to run EU mirror or solo events we're accepting Event Runner applications)

Merci!

Talk about the mapping scene. I feel like supporting new maps gets brushed off a lot.

While we sip the tears of our fellow demons I think it should be acknowledged that a majority of these changes were done by the community, most notably Ficool who's responsible for all these changes including the iron bomber hitbox change.
