Releasing the button is a valid way to do things. It's like charging a shot, except just purely preference.

Unfortunately, there's no way without wait (unless you get a macro/hotkey program). Wait should never have been banned :( (I'd rather have valve fix exploits surrounding it instead of banning it to prevent exploits).

nice rhyme

#19 outlines it pretty well. If you have the commitment go for it though.

If this made rockets and hitscans go through players, this should definitely be allowed.

Your group might as well play in normal #tf2mix or something, as there's almost always an experienced player. Just as for helpful advice while playing.

I felt bad because he could have search the site himself but got you to do it for him, but then I realized his username was relevant.

I would say watch a stream or stream vod, but realized I don't know any scout streamers :x (shrugger's stream might have some vods, though he's been streaming other games recently. meb also should have some scout vods). I don't think just watching a demo will help you without having the mumble comms to go with it, as a lot of what a scout on flank may do will depend on comms (timing flanks and pushing with the team).

Someone recommend some scout stream vods for him ><.

EDIT:
Meb's twitch has some vods: http://www.twitch.tv/mebrillo/videos

Their TexasVPS is still TBA (seems to be a branch from newwave or something) :(. Also, their deal is about the same as eoreality's but lower specs (the $40/year one I found, and there was a $4 off code that I don't know how long lasts). Not an ideal location for me.

I think that's only tic rate, server FPS should still scale past 66. I really only want 500 FPS because the server seemed to give better lerp than at 250 FPS, but I guess it's not that big of a deal.
Nvm, FPS is still capped. But the RT-kernel should still increase performance, although I probably can't do that on a VPS.

He lost the green cap way back though, so you have you use the newest one with it.

If anything, your CPU is capping you. For the lower fps in TF2, have you checked if autosettings changed? It might have detected a better GPU and increased your graphics settings unless you're already using a config.

You should reread my post, I was already using lowendbox and looking for those specs ><.

Thanks for the link, but I don't think it'll be as useful since some VPS's only have centos/debian or something and there's already good documentation on the official site.

I'll probably ask then before I do it then (I could live with a 500Hz sys tic rate). I never bothered to look at whether or not those hosts specifically allowed you to do it, but I'll look more into it.

I know two of them seem to be able to handle the load based on what their forums said (one I have no clue), although if all the users were running them I'd probably run into problems. Also, it's the main reason why I shot for 1GB+ dedicated ram since it's probably shared by less people, even though a Source DS uses about half of that RAM.

Way overpriced for me. Could probably go for a $5 VPS host and a normal gameserver package at that rate.

Anyone here have any VPS recommendations? Going to see if I can host a server, mumble + website on a VPS. I've looked around at a few place/forums, but I know that there's a lot of people familiar with VPSes in the community so I wouldn't mind getting some input if anyone is familiar with them. All of these are located in dallas, and found off of lowendbox.com (VPS site). I've checked the ones below to make sure their ToS allow gameservers/VoIP.

eoreality is $40/year ($3.33/month) w/ a promo code

Ram: 1024mb
RAID-10 HDD: 25gb
Bandwidth: 1TB
Port Speed: 100mbps

dotvps is $5/month

Dedicated RAM: 2048 MB
Disk Space: 50 GB
Bandwidth: 1000GB
Connection Speed: 100 mbps

evolucix is $7/month

Guaranteed RAM: 1280 MB
Burstable RAM: 2048 MB
Disk Space: 20 GB
Bandwidth: 500 GB / month

Or if you have some recommendations, I'll check them out.

Thanks for any help. Also, for those curious, you can actually host a gameserver for relatively cheap with a VPS, but you have to find the right provider policy with the right specs and you have to know linux pretty well (god forbid you get a Windows vps and have to use the WMP trick to get 500 FPS). I'll probably be testing out this guide to speed up the kernel. If anyone has any warnings on using the guide, tell me too.

EDIT: K, no more messing with kernels.
