Rules

• Server Rules - http://forums.joe.to/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=45148

  • We are here to have fun. If at any time you are ruining the fun, you will be dealt with.

    If you fail to remember anything else about the rules, remember this. It is the cornerstone for everything joe.to.

      Instructions:
      Extract to \Steam\SteamApps\*USER*\team fortress 2\tf

    Fast Alt-Tab - http://forums.joe.to/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=46224

    • -sw -noborder +connect tf4.joe.to -console -novid

      • -sw = windowed
        -noborder = no border
        +connect = automatic connect to server on game server
        -console = enable dev console
        -novid = skip intro video

      Note: the "+connect tf4.joe.to" part will make TF2 auto-connect to TF4.joe.to on launch.

    Multicore Performance - http://forums.joe.to/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=47947

    • These commands offload various rendering and audio tasks off of the first core of a CPU onto other cores but can cause glitches.
      Place these Commands in autoexec.cfg file is your \Steam\steamapps\(your email)\team fortress 2\tf\cfg

      • r_threaded_renderables 1
        mat_queue_mode 2
        r_threaded_particles 1
        r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 1
        cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
        cl_threaded_client_leaf_system 1
        snd_mix_async 1

      snd_mix_async will cause audio glitches but all shots still make noise, it just seems to cut off a little in the beginning or end, mat_queue_mode seems to make my inputs not register onscreen for a bit causing a skipping effect but other models work fine, and one of the cl_ commands makes my model flicker every once in a while. The Safest commands are the r_ commands I have had them all on with no ill effects.
      If you have issues with any of these there default is 0 except mat_queue_mode which is -1 and r_threaded_particles which is 1

Some of this information was not located in this forum. Some of it was occupying stickies/announcements with only 1 meaningful piece of information occupying a space at the top of the forum. If you can think of anything else that should really be in this thread, please post.

[KoD]

Great post!

[scobywhru]

http://forums.joe.to/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=47947 a thread about performance and multicore rendering would be nice to have in there as well

[knoid]

Thanks Avv. Thought about doing this a while back but was too lazy.

[Twine]

Mad_Dugan made a post about how to record demos about... eight months or so ago? Worth digging up to put in here.

[joe]

if someone makes a post that has useful static (unchanging) information (like how to do something), please add it to the wiki!
http://wiki.joe.to

don't be afraid to add a whole category or organize it however you like

[Avvatar]

Added a few new lines, because I'm about to unsticky a few new annoying stickies.

Help keep our forums clean! Don't sticky threads that are barely worth reading once.

[Little Red]

hey what type of codec does the server have? my dad says i need to update my software for it to work w/ the one the server is currently using but he says i need to find out what the codec is

[tehENEMY]

Hey Little Red, we probably had to switch it back to due complaints from other players. Try to keep your threads limited (so just keep posting in your old thread instead of making a new one.) This cuts down clutter. Sorry I personally can't help you any farther.

ONCE AGAIN, YOU DON'T NEED TO UPDATE YOUR MIC TO MAKE THE CODEC WORK

Stop.

[Helpful]

Could you add something about the double overheal? Its not listed anywhere on the wiki page, the server rules thread, or the server MOTD. I would suggest it for the rules thread because of the server information sub-heading, but the rules thread is not stickied under the TF2 forums and doesn't seem likely to be updated.

edit:typo

[I_AM_SQUIRREL]

We need a way to call an admin that is online easily if we was an issue with a player.

[A Ninja]

The Joe.to IRC channel is the best way to contact an admin if there are none on the server. You can access it at the top of the website if you follow the link. Also, I'd advise adding admins that play around the same time as you to your friends list.

[Eviltechie]

There is some sort of way to make a report from the server. I think it might be /admin or something.
