Mapbase

TF2 Classic is now directly built on top of Mapbase 7.3, with all of its features and fixes integrated into the game. The full extent of what's changed is too big to summarize, and we encourage exploring what's now possible. The most major changes can be found upstream at Entity List, Base Entity Changes, Prefabs and workarounds obsoleted by Mapbase, VScript Documentation, and general patch notes between versions.

Some highlights include:

  • VScript! It currently lacks many TF2-specific features, which will be added incrementally. Not all functions behave the same as TF2 either, porting for all but the simplest scripts is expected. Please use script_help in-game for comprehensive documentation, and see the list of Mapbase script functions)
  • Compared to TF2, VScript can load custom fonts packed into maps, create custom VGUI panels, and control the visibility of HUD elements
  • Major overhaul of our FGDs with many additions, fixes, clarifications, etc. (including pending work by vizzys)
  • Clientside ragdolls will show new decals when hit or shot, and decals from "killing blow" shots will also appear
  • All filters have new I/O/KV, with a number of new filters being added, see here
  • I/O supports wildcards in any position, one-character ? wildcards, and regular expressions
  • point_camera and func_reflective_glass can use different render targets, allowing multiple cameras and mirrors to be active at the same time
  • sky_camera has inputs to copy parameters directly from a fog controller, change scale, rotate, use a solid sky color, and more
  • Various console messages have unique colors, adjustable via convars or the mapbase_con_groups.txt file
  • New commentary nodes are available for greater flexibility in creating developer commentaries, and they can now be placed in Hammer directly without using the commentary editor
  • Custom videos and text can be shown in a map with vgui_movie_display and vgui_text_display
  • func_fake_worldportal can be used to visually link two brushes in a map, similarly to linked_portal_door from Portal 2, but it cannot be passed through
  • Fish are now controllable
  • The $treesway parameter now works properly on materials
  • fog_volume is added to make it much easier to set player-specific overrides for fog, color correction, and postprocessing, a feature from L4D which allows mappers to add cinematic effects. trigger_tonemap is also added as an equivalent brush entity for switching tonemap controllers when a player enters an area.
  • info_particle_system_coordinate has been added which allows you to specify exact coordinates for control points rather than entity names, minimizing edict usage
  • When opening chat, your mouse cursor is now positioned properly over the chat window instead of being placed above it so it's invisible until you move it down
  • Text selection in the chat and some other RichText fields now works properly, and lets you select text segments rather than whole lines at once (SanyaSho)
