BF2S Forums [Steam] - Treasure hunt

I'd better post these just in case there are any "hat collectors" on BF2s..




Unusual with "dropping coins" effect

Last hat has not been revealed...

Completing all the objectives gives you a hat. And you know that some people will buy all the games they don't already have just to get that hat. How fucking stupid.

Can you just fucking ignore the hats?

You make it sound like you want that last hat like you'd want water after 2 days in a desert...

If you can't ignore them, see them as a bonus you get if you just happen to like enough of the daily sales..

I don't care about the hats. I'm just laughing at the fact that there are some people who probably care way too much. I guess it's a "completionist" thing, but to a ridiculous extreme.

I'd rather have an actual hat than one in TF2.

Now this would be some nice change. I would totally rock one of those pirate treasure chest hats! Ladykiller!!

I can't believe TF2 is going to be filled with players with treasure chests on their heads.

Fortunately I have an easily editable text file that removes any and all hats I want from appearing in-game.

You gon get banz0red!

what as if the ones they put in before were completely tasteful and appropriate?

rofl

Why would I have a text file that removes all the stupid hats if I the current ones are tasteful and appropriate?

The first set were mostly fine, the second set were mostly fine, but after that they've been getting more and more stupid (with good ones here and there), until the Mann-Conomy Update pushed it over the edge with a selection of hats that are so retarded I don't even know what to say.

The thing is, I only recently discovered that it was possible to disable hats at will. I've been wanting to for ages.

***************
If anybody is interested you use GCFScape, and open "team fortress 2 content.gcf". Find the file at "scripts/items/items_game.txt" and copy it to the same destination in your TF2 folder (you might have to make the scripts and items folders).

Open it up and search for "tf_wearable_hat" to cycle through the hats, and for each one you want to remove, find the line that says (for example):

"model_player" "models/player/items/scout/scout_whoopee.mdl"

And delete everything in the second set of ""s, like so:

"model_player" ""

Then save it and play the game without retarded hats everywhere. Hooray. No more Spy wig. No more Gibus. No more most of them.

Warning! If they add new items and you don't make a new copy of your custom items_game.txt using the fresh one from the GCF, your game will crash if anybody equips it.

VAC does not scan files at all.

hang on a sec

so a month ago all you guys were sucking each other's dicks to get all the hats, writing letters to gabe personally because you just weren't getting enough hats, etc... now you're all disdainful and edit them out with text files? because, you know, hats are sooo terrible? rofl. you fucking guys. you're too much.

The turning point was when they started selling them, putting them in crates, giving them special bonuses, I.E the mann co. update. Like you said hats used to be rare and exclusive and that made them interesting. You wanted those soldier and scout hats too, remember. Then Valve flooded the game with utterly out of place and obnoxious hats that almost everyone has, ruining the whole idea and making the game a lot less visually appealing. And that's why now I prefer the hatless beta or a text file for removing them. They're not a minor gimmick to make one of your classes look nicer anymore.

Yeah pretty much this.

Like I said, when Mann-Co update hit I just got tired of them. Too many, too stupid. In the past, collecting a few of the nice ones was fun but now its just not. Even when the first wave of hats hit I complained about the Football Helmet because it didn't fit in with the heavy's character at all, and the Batters Helmet for just being ugly. But most of them were fine.

I mean I still have the ones I like, but I'd rather not see a server full of Parasites, Gibuses, indian chieftan feathers, and a million Mann-Co and Ellis caps, and this:



Plus the purple, orange and green paint which makes hats that are already an eyesore into something horrific.
