Release Candidate 3
Pre-releaseThe last release, at the time of me writing this, hit more than 8000 whopping downloads! Thanks!
Change notes:
Fixes for regressions that were caused by the pack itself
- Fixed the Thermal Thruster's large icon having white outlines.
- Removed the Sniper Rifle scope fix for now as it caused problems with some decorated weapons. The fix might be coming out for the full release.
Fixes for TF2 content
- Actually added missing killstreak sheen effect for the Crossing Guard.
- Added new icons for weapons that received major visual changes in their model, material, or texture; Direct Hit, Eviction Notice, Liberty Launcher, Tomislav, Family Business.
- All the Voodoo Cursed Souls now have consistent Phong and rimlight parameters with the regular class .vmt's. (Thanks Whurr!)
- Fixed Monoculus losing its rimlight and Phong while Enraged (angry). (Thanks Whurr!)
- Fixed broken $sine proxy, which was intended to give a glowing on and off effect to the Crone Dome. Was broken together with the self-illumination and has been completely removed from the material files since the January 7, 2016 Patch. (Thanks Whurr!)
- Made the fire vacuum effect of the Manmelter smaller and less annoying, improved vacuum's appearance itself slightly.
- More optimized and slightly better disintegration death particles that use way fewer particles compared to the default.
- Unusual sprite transparency fix: Fixed various sprites appearing slightly transparent if they are too close to the player or walls and etc., this was caused by them having "depth blending" on by default, which "softens" them when they are too close to walls, models and such.
Changes can be noticed best with the third-person view, standing close to a wall or while the effect passes over the player with an orbiting unusual on like Circling TF Logo, Aces High, Orbiting Planets, Dead Presidents, and the likes, they will now no longer be slightly transparent. - Updated Rainblower taunt particles to point in the correct direction. (Thanks FlaminSarge!)
Installation instructions
Install easily by dragging the two files to the tf\custom folder in the game's directory you drag your mods to (e. g. mastercomfig). It will be used on most community servers - Casual and Faceit 12v12 (for the time being) mostly do not work. THG servers have the pack whitelisted!
You have to download both the .vpk ending in _000, and in _dir.
If you still have the Creators.TF Community Launcher, you can very easily install the pack. Updating feature is also included.
If you receive crashes while playing in servers that have sv_pure 1/2 and block this mod, download the version without model fixes (only Sentry Buster uber fix intact) and you shall crash no more.
Make sure to report any bugs, oversights, make suggestions in the Issues tab.
Full change notes and screenshots for the entirety of UVF are coming very soon (ETA: Q2 of 2022), for now, you can take a look at the highlights in the readme to know what the pack is changing.
If you want to be sure where to look to give feedback: look at most weapons, Australiums, and skins, take a look at the cosmetics you've been hearing having bugs. Look at the muzzleflashes, Pyro weapons' particles.
