Hey yall,
I've managed many tf2 servers over the years, and there's something that really bugs me-
The UGC Configs.
And every config based on them.
They suck. They haven't been updated in years, they have weird broken STV settings if you properly unexec, the networking in them is outdated and awful, the naming scheme is kinda weird, etc.
So, I decided to make new ones.
Introducing-
The NEW TFCL Configs
These are brand new, from scratch, modern configs. They were originally designed for the relaunch of TFCL, and I've decided to publicly announce their existence because I'm very tired of dealing with the crusty old UGC/RGL configs. Almost every line is commented with an explanation of what it does. There are NO unused commands (except for tftrue lines if you don't have it installed), and the network settings are tuned to be as competitive as possible without preventing lower internet spec'd players from playing.
Furthermore, there are separate configs for scrims and matches for 5cp, as a large portion of people change winlimit to 5 in their configs already anyway.
I have done a lot of personal testing with these configs, in my own highlander/6s scrims. Please give them a try and let me know if there's anything that should be changed.

Please read the README first, it goes over some important things.
I'll try to get these on serveme asap. They are already live on cpu.tf servers, and you're welcome to put them on your own servers.
I'm also considering forking Miggy's old plugin (RIP) to try to force consistency on every sever but I'm not sure if there's any interest. Again, let me know.
thanks to:
