So a few days ago I was watching a stream and tojo made a comment about being able to change the spy cloak and decloak sound and I said something about it being blocked by sv_pure 2, not an issue in leagues.
I was wrong.
Reflecto messaged me linking me this thread: https://www.teamfortress.tv/post/903369/stock-rl-sounds-for-original
You can basically just cheat your ass off with this stuff.
SO I'm posting this so that Valve is either 1. going to fix it or 2. really just sit on their asses all day
Honestly by the time an exploit like this gets to me, they've likely received emails about it and thought nothing of them.

HOW TO CHEAT AND HEAR SPIES INFINITELY EASIER (WORKS ON SV_PURE 2)!!:
1. Download GCFScape
2. Go to your tf folder and open tf2_misc_dir.vpk in GCFScape
3. Go to the resources folder, and grab the file called 'game_sounds_player.txt'
4. Put this in your custom folder under this structure: tf/custom/LiterallyCheats/scripts/game_sounds_player.txt
5. Open this file in any text editor and find "Player.Spy_Cloak"
This is what I set mine to:
"Player.Spy_Cloak"
{
"channel" "CHAN_STATIC"
"volume" "1"
"soundlevel" "SNDLVL_85dB"
"wave" "ui/killsound_note.wav"
}
"Player.Spy_UnCloakReduced"
{
"channel" "CHAN_STATIC"
"volume" "0.5"
"soundlevel" "SNDLVL_40dB"
"wave" "ui/killsound_note.wav"
}
"Player.Spy_UnCloak"
{
"channel" "CHAN_STATIC"
"volume" "1"
"soundlevel" "SNDLVL_85dB"
"wave" "ui/killsound_note.wav"
}
6. Literally never die to a spy ever again.
