List of patches ← 2.1.2 2.1.3 2.1.4 →

2.1.3 was a minor update for Team Fortress 2 Classic. It was released on December 12, 2023. The patch notes were initially released on the official blog. It featured some map changes, weapon changes, general changes, and bug fixes.

The patch's largest additions include adjusting the game's Phong shading and adding SourceMod support, and its largest removal was that of the native Linux client. A new CTF map named Penguin Peak was added, which is a winter version of Pelican Peak.

Changes

Important Changes ​

Linux Client support is now officially discontinued. Please read this FAQ page on how to continue playing on Linux.

Full Lambertian lighting is now enabled by default for all materials using Phong shading. This can be toggled in the Video Settings.

The Steam Overlay is now disabled by default. To enable again, launch the game using the -fixoverlay launch option.

We have temporarily disabled the Medi Gun sound collage feature introduced with version 2.1.0 to address some crashes (#272). As such, Attribute Manager compiler optimizations have been enabled again. (Thanks Sappho & Avast Antipony)

We now have official SourceMod support. This allows for automatic gamedata updates for server owners. Please update to the latest version of SourceMod and TF2Classic-Tools.

Mapping Changes

We have a new collection of particles that were collected from other Valve games, environmental_fx.pcf, consisting of a handful of odds-and-ends which may prove useful to mappers, including lava_smoke, dust_ceiling_rumble, flies, leaky_pipe, leaky_roof, pipe_drips, sprinkler_system, steam_jet, steam_low_vent, and lots of variations thereof.

  • Updated Game Instructor:
    • Now has a stylized, team colored background, akin to the one used by game_text_tf
    • Hint text now properly supports localized strings and can include newlines
    • Added filters for class and team to env_instructor hint
  • Updated tf_logic_arena entity:
    • Added RoundTimeOverride keyvalue for overriding round time
    • Added switch_teams keyvalue. If enabled, teams will be swapped around on a new round
  • Updated item_healthkit_small entity:
    • In Arena mode, small health kits assigned to a specific team now have unique assets to signify which team they can be used by
  • Updated tf_logic_domination entity:
    • Added outputs for each team that trigger every time team score updates
  • Updated math_counter entity:
    • Now uses float values for I/O instead of integers
    • Added SetMinValueNoFire and SetMaxValueNoFire inputs
  • Added several math related entities from Mapbase:
    • math_counter_advanced
      • A special version of math_counter with advanced inputs, outputs and keyvalues for advanced operations and specialized calculations
    • math_clamp
      • Clamps input values between the specified min/max, which can be integers, floats or vectors
    • math_bits
      • Performs calculations involving bits and bit operations
    • math_vector
      • Allows for operations on vectors like "0 0 0" or "2509.677 384.001 204.5"
    • math_mod
      • Modifies and outputs input values with the specified value and operator. For example, it could be configured to add 2 to each value sent to this entity, outputting the result each time. This is to create I/O "pipelines" that demand instant operations limited by, say, using a math_counter with delays
    • math_lightpattern
      • Replicates baked light patterns and fires outputs accordingly
    • math_generate
      • Generates numbers from a variety of algorithm, mostly taken from material proxies. (e.g. a sine wave)
  • Ported several soundscapes from Left 4 Dead 2 and Alien Swarm
    • These are in scripts/soundscapes_canada.txt and are unlisted by default. The pack intends to cover unusual environments that weren't adequately covered through preexisting soundscapes, such as for caverns, mineshafts, volcanoes, snowstorms, extremely large interiors, and swamps. It also includes numerous utility scapes that can be used when creating custom ones, and entries are all documented to make it clear how they're meant to be used. Read the file's introduction for more information.
  • Added func_areaportal_oneway to the FGD
  • Added new entries to the game_sounds_tf2c soundscript:
    • Ambient.Lightning_strike

  • Implemented OnSuddenDeath output to tf_gamerules

General Changes

  • Implemented -defaultscheme launch options
    • Allows for loading any custom client schemes. The game will append the value to the file name of the Scheme it loads
    • The default value for Wine/Proton is "linux", so the game will load "resource/ClientScheme_linux.res" instead of "resource/ClientScheme.res" by default
    • For Wine/Proton users, this may break Custom HUDs. For backwards compatibility, passing no values to -defaultscheme reverts to the old behavior
  • The VIP no longer instantly respawns all dead teammates if they change loadout in spawn or use the respawn command

    • Respects tf_bot_force_class value

    • Prints names and IDs for all currently loaded items and attributes the console
