Before we start I'd just like to say thank you for accepting me into your clan/organization... I appriciate you guys hosting and maintining these servers as they're all pretty awsome..

Theres a few things I was wondering though, and questions I've had for this clan and their TF2 servers etc... I was wondering why u dont run SV_Pure 1, it seems to me that there are alot of texture hacks out there and even though it is nice to have custom skins etc.. I was wondering the specifiic reason why you guys run SV_Pure 0.... The texture hack is pretty much undetectable and will be forever as the bug itself is built into the game alowing character glow to get to an infinite point so that it can glow through walls.. Its pretty rediculus.. I can't count the number of times that I've been killed from a sniper comming around a corner with in-human reflexes, or a demo man who kills me from 1/2 way accross the level with somehow perfectly timed Stickies...

Why do we alow SV_Pure 0? is the question @ hand.... Although I do have my own custom skins etc (I use the Adidas Vs. Nike Package from fpsbanana.com) I think the skins are rad for sure, but i often find myself changing to a different server to take a break from the rare but inevitable wallhacker/aimbot...

Is there an official realease thread on why we dont do this? if so I cant find it...

Oh and 1 more question, why don't any of the eGO servers have Turbine anymore? when Turbine was up it was full like all the rest of the servers durring prime time... But i noticed "Valve Maps" went up, but you can't nominate turbine... whats up with that? Turbine was fun every once in a while...

Ps. one more question to add... Does anyone know of a way to run TF2 in Fullscreen Window'ed mode just like WoW or L4D?

First off, welcome.

Secondly, I'm not sure. I'm not complaining, I don't use modifications, sans the Obi-Wan lightsaber bat replacement...

Lastly, I was wondering that too. Turbine was actually my native server, and since it went down I've never played Valve Maps unless Turbine was up and near-full. Turbine was almost always full...
 
Ok... Welcome to eGO! First, I'll start by saying that sv_pure 0 is on because it allows players freedom to break from the ordinary. I personally have alot of skins I use and love to see. I can't stand to go to a pure 1 server because I miss all the variations that I have become accustomed to. Also, we have a great team of admins, and any cheaters, sooner or later, will be caught. If any suspesion of a hacker arises feel free to get in touch with an admin via admin chat. All talk - @ "Message" And we will be sure to check into it.

And turbine is on the rotation server to my knowledge. Just played it yesterday? The command is Nominate. Capital N... I forgot that the other day :-/

And for your final question. Yes, it is under your video options in game.
 
I think an easy way to do what you are asking is
1)Go to your "My Games list"
2)Right click and go to properties on the specified game
3)Set launch options button
4)Add -windowed -noborder

All done, you now have a windowed game that looks like it is playing fullscreen. It works for a number of games too.

Im pretty sure its "rtv".

Welcome to eGO!
 
I wish valve made a way to disable all wall and object skins, so people who have to see their lightsaber don't ruin it for the people who would rather sacrifice a skin to get away from hackers.
 
I agree with Xso, I personally believe that our servers can benefit from sv_pure 1, with an edited pure_server_whitelist.txt.

The valve developer wiki has alot of information on tweaking the whitelist here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Pure_Servers#Whitelist_File_Format

The best option would be to allow modification of the player models and and weapons and whatnot, but disallow edited map materials. This would stop all material wallhacks except for $ignorez. For that, you'd need to enforce pure on all materials which wouldn't allow any customized skins, though.
 
Welcome to eGO, im sure you will enjoy your stay.
I couldnt resist, i read turbine and i just had to comment.
P.S ive seen turbine fill up valve maps at 4:00 am EST whilest all other ego maps on my fav list were empty :)

It would only affect YOU, they'd still have it.
