Thanks to mana, dashner, uberchain, bluee, KevinIsPwn, and many others for making TFTV such a fun place and for having intense passion.

Assuming no delays, the season begins the week of April 26th and the regular season ends the week of June 14th (for most teams - if you have to play a ninth week, it ends the week of June 21st). Playoffs will most certainly extend into July (and maybe even August). The ESEA website lists the season ending July 19th, but the ending date they list is not always accurate.

Your team has someone who's on a S18 playoff team. They can't sign up until the playoffs conclude unless they leave that team.

Fixed, database went offline. I really need a better server someday.

It says you're in the AP region, change your region to NA.

Just wanted to point out: the ESEA Registration Tracker has been updated for Season 19. Get signed up!

As far as I understand, we use the VTV scoreboard right now because it's the only full NodeCG-compatible scoreboard available and partially because it displays the scores for all maps in a matchup. We have considered doing a redesign to modernize it and bring it more in line with the TFTV visual style, but we don't have the resources to dedicate to a graphics overhaul right now.

Indeed, the magnitude of such a project (especially if it's on a purely volunteer basis, which it appears to be) is a bit unwieldy.

It's possible, but unless you're getting very experienced people who are versed in both working with the Source Engine as well as detecting cheats, it's going to be extremely difficult.

StatusSpec 0.24.0 has just been released. It contains fixes for gibs not working with custom models and crashes when using the local player module as well as some minor additions to the camera tools module for future projects.

As always, feedback is encouraged for existing or possible new features.

They're not replicated, so servers can't control the client-side values, and as far as I know, cheat cvar values are not reset after cheats are disabled. I don't know if the variables being defined server-side mean that only the server values matter, but I assume the client is probably checking its own version.

Sorry that the donation tracker was broken all the time. I'm really really bad at coding.

Great event, and great job to those who made it happen.

There's an engine function to get the current tick, but as far as I'm aware no corresponding command.

I emailed Valve a long time ago about the possibility of creating a version of P-REC compatible with Mac and Linux, but have not received any response. It doesn't look like there will be any chance of this anytime soon.

I don't really understand what benefits a client would offer over a site with what you've said, but maybe I'm just not understanding the scenario properly.

If this is what you want to do, go for it, and all power to you. Just be forewarned that trying to integrate servers increases the difficulty tenfold (and if you're trying to provide the servers yourself, 100x).

So why wouldn't one of the sites posted above work for that purpose?
