Just to add to what skeez is saying kinda..

I've just spent the last ~3 hours trying to get sv_pure to work properly. It's actually just fucking broken.

The game_sounds files are in the blacklist for sv_pure 2. They're there properly to be blocked by pure, and re-extracted from the Valve signed vpk to be default. But there are a few issues.

1. After the sv_pure 2 checking finds one file that isn't correct, it stops checking the other files. If you join a server with sv_pure 2 these files are checked:

	sound\...                            trusted_source
	models\...                           trusted_source
	materials\...                        trusted_source
	particles\...                        trusted_source
	scripts\game_sounds.txt              trusted_source
	scripts\game_sounds_manifest.txt	 trusted_source
	scripts\game_sounds_player.txt       trusted_source
	scripts\game_sounds_vo.txt           trusted_source
	scripts\game_sounds_vo_handmade.txt  trusted_source
	scripts\game_sounds_weapons.txt      trusted_source
	scripts\soundmixers.txt              trusted_source

But if you join with multiple game_sounds files you will get this error:

Reloading sound file 'scripts\game_sounds.txt' due to pure settings.

... and that's it. It stops there. In order to get the game_sounds_weapons.txt file to be properly checked by sv_pure, I had to remove all the individual file checks besides that one.

2. The fuckin check doesn't even work man lmfao. My suspicion is that the custom folder was added and sv_pure was never adjusted accordingly. So when sv_pure tries to give tf2 a new file to use, it never messes with the one stored in custom. So it makes some weird zombie shit happen where sometimes it uses the overpowered shit, but it also 100% of the time plays the spy cloak sound. Video example:

I get why you guys are frustrated but it's so STUPID that so many people are saying "I already tried to tell Valve about this" while also saying "You shouldn't give this more publicity". If you told them, and they didn't fix it, then they decided it was irrelevant. It's fucking not when people are already using it in comp.

I already talked to league admins. Everyone that says they've got buddies @Valve link them this. I spent the last 4 hours doing more troubleshooting on this issue than anyone at Valve has I'm sure.

Now someone help me w/ my networking project that I should've been working on instead

disabling sv_pure 2 lets literally any tf2 file get loaded from a client's custom folder.

Custom textures don't work on sv_pure 2
Those giant ass healing particles don't work on sv_pure 2
you can only replace one in game sound with another in game sound (what this thread is about)

It negates the class entirely in 6s. Maybe a less common occurrence, but once you know there is a spy in 6s they're worthless.

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:
.

6. Literally never die to a spy ever again.

i speak for everyone when i say

Figured I'd ask this here

what'd they look like after?

I edited some RGB values and health %s so it makes more sense to me at a glance (here), but I'll give someone a cookie if they can make it so a buff fills the entire bar, not just stopping halfway through.

(i.e. when someone is full buff it fills the bar all the way, when only 1/4 buff only 1/4 of the bar is filled in)

I feel like this is funny if you just call it cooking w/ billdozer.... you're above going for the cheap cock joke.

I make at most 2 sandwiches a week I ain't got money to just let my bread mold every week..

that being said - twitch prime - buy me bread :)

e: your models are likely so dark that it's hard to tell them apart in dark places. Common issue w/ mastercoms configs

No but actually though there are only 2 teams registered for the cup on Sunday.... European teams should for sure be playing this lol

But holy fuck I love ninja
