Whilst browsing Valve's website, I noticed that there was new screenshots available. It took about 5 mins for the page to load but when it did, I almost wet myself. There is was a screenshot of the TF2 Spy!

Counter hits 3k!

NextWish

I'm speech-less the counter hit's 3k, only two days ago was it at 2k. Gosh I never though you guys loved this site so much. I'm in DESPERATE need of questions for the next polls, if I dont get any support from the polls I may have to shut it down due to lack of interest. (Though it seems that quite alot of people are voting)

19 May 1999

That was odd.

SteelAngel

That was the strangest thing I have ever seen. I just did an update yesterday, and suddenly, I find that today my update is gone. Hmm. Must be a bug with the perl updating scripts. *shrug* Anyhoo. For those of you who missed the story, I was telling a tale about canalzone, scouts with no clue, and a terrible assault with deadly fish. Well.. Ok. there weren't any fish. But it was a cool update. I'm probably going to be gone for the next couple of days (since that is graduation. y'know) So don't anyone worry. Oh, and if someone discovers that nasty bug, please email both Nextwish and myself.

Corpo's TFC Script reaches v1.3.1

NextWish

A New version of Corpo's script is now available right here. Theres not enough changes to the script to call it v1.4, though it does have some major changes. If you use his multi-class script I suggest you go and get it right away.

18 May 1999

Counter hits 2k!

NextWish

It's only been 4 days since the counter hit 1 000, now it's hit 2 000. Thanks Guys for visiting the site and thankyou, without you guys this site would of never grown into what it is now today!

Monitors do break when dropped

NextWish

Bad news, I dropped my 15" monitor this morning whilst moving the computer, so I was without a monitor for a couple of days. I've got a spare monitor from my dads work, though I'm going to buy a 21" Monitor very soon. Anyways the FILES Section has been totally redone, more files have been added go check it out!

15 May 1999

New Section - The Polls!

NextWish

Hey I've finally got around to it, the polls are up and running. Go visit them and vote your little hearts out. Also I need questions for the polls, please email me some. I'm going to be going away for the weekened (I'll be back on Tuesday) so if you email me, dont threat if it takes a few days before I reply.

Corpo's TFC Script reaches v1.3

NextWish

A New version of Corpo's script is now available right here. The main changes quoted from Corpo's email:
I changed my script so u can hold alt and hit 1-9 to change class, but hold alt and hit 0 to change color, then u can hit F8 to go back to changing color and class at the same time (when your in there base) then hit F8 to go back to being separate, also when I do 1.4 it'll have a speed changing thing, so u run as fast as a hwguy would go, when your disguised as 1, I wish I knew html, I could make my own page hehe, well here it is, I haven't really fully tested it yet, but it shouldn't need any testing

10 May 1999

Damn 2 TFC Config's in one day.

NextWish

Well what can I say? Two TFC Spy Config's in one day, this one is by Corpo, and it is available here. It's actually an TFC Config for all classes but it has a spy config in there. Anyways here's some info about it: (quoted directly from his email)

Well here is my script, I included all the files (hope you don't mind) but my spy.cfg is my favorite, it is also the most complex, but easy to use, just hold alt and hit 1-9, 1 being scout and so on it changes your color AND skin unlike most where u have to hit 2 keys to change, it has a nice medic call setup too, if your disguised as a demoman and call for a medic it'll say to your team that you are disguised as 1 and calling for the medic, also when you disguise it tells your team what your disguised as, see for yourself but make sure u customize all the binds.

New TFC Spy Config

NextWish

I got an email from NoonE with a spy config attached, you can get it here.
Here are the features of the script. (I quoted them directly from his email)
p.s. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE ATTACHED MANUAL!

Ok, here's the deal, I have a pretty cool (IMHO) spy config that I created by looking at basicly all the TF spy configs out there, and since I haven't seen any TFC spy configs out there I was wondering if you guys would like a copy. It is NOT the most reliable thing in high-ping situations (grenades get funked up sometimes, but nothing else noticed yet), but I have a couple binds that you just have to remember to hit if you are lagging.
Here is what it has:
Discard Feign (w/noise)
Silent Feign Hop Feign (press a key to feign for a sec, let go and you unfeign) Automatic Messaging System for class change
One key color change
Throw a gren when feigned (you unfeign, throw it, refeign)

Thats about it for now.. I'll probably kick in a speed change when I figure out what exactly the differences are between TFC and TF speeds, but I am kinda buzy with finals right now! It is not the easiest thing for a newbie to understand, but I would include a manual with it so hopefully they would get an idea.


9 May 1999

Woo hoo!!

SteelAngel

I never did add a counter, mostly because I never really cared how many people came to see the site. But now that I have a counter, I'm all about the site hits!! We have 1000+ hits, I didn't know we had so many fans!
Back to the business of spying... I agree with nextwish. TF1 does seem more fun than TFC. I can't put my finger on "why" though. I just miss the crappy quake textures I guess. I haven't played in a bit though. Been working on something special..

9 May 1999

Counter hits 1000

NextWish

Well what can I say, the site redesign has been up for about 3 or 4 days, and the counter has already hit 1000. Well this amount is not 100% the true amount of hits, becuase this site has existed on PlanetFortress for 2 years, though it never had a counter until now. Anyways I finding myself to playing Quake TF, I've become sick of all those newbie lamers spoiling tfc, actually I dont like the idea of TFC. Quake TF is much better..

7 May 1999

Storm7 added to Map Recon

NextWish


I've made my mind up, I am going to devote alot of my time to add more maps the the map recon section. Today I added storm7. 2night2 and muskrat4 are next. If you have a map you would like to get info on or reviewed email me.

Figuring out the new design

SteelAngel


Wow. This is such a sweet redesign. I'm impressed. I'm triply impressed that we use style sheets. I don't even know what they are. But then again I've been the one who has been writing all of his pages to be HTML 1.1 compliant - Lynx baybee!! Anyway, check out the new design, sure we look like the Grassy Knoll, but hey, Cableless is just another SteelAngel wannabe..
not..
Ok, anyway, if you haven't noticed, I fixed the dates, since for some reason, it was March 8th here at the Academy and not May 6th, I hope I don't still have 2 months to go on this damn degree.. Bad enough I have to be here in the summer and listen to Moriarty's whining on the Citadel.. (Hi, Mori!!)

Zikan's TFC Spy Config

NextWish

Ever since TFC came out I been looking for a Spy script for TFC, that's as good or just as good as Slim's for TF. Well here it is, enjoy. A friend of mine sent this to me the other day via icq..

6 May 1999

Site Redesign is finished.

NextWish

Hey it's Nextwish here, hows it going? As I promised the site would be redesigned and up with a couple of days... Well Here it is? What do you think of it? Email Me with any comments / suggestions please, I need feedback. I'm going to be settup up a poll for this site, Tell me what you think of that idea also. Later Guys, I haven't played TF for 4 days due to redesigning this site.

5 May 1999

Nextwish 1, Newbie Spy 0.

NextWish

Yep. It's me again, back with another update. Nothing updated though, just a funny screenshot I took whilst playing TFC's cz2. Heres the story, On a server I was using this morning, There was a ton of newbie spies (You know the usual running around with knife out, using "player" as their name.). Though they did come in handy, some of them even helped me get a frag or too. Like I was feigned in CP 3 doing defense when in comes this slow-ass soldier and this spy thats on his own team but not wearing a disguise. The soldier starts pounding rocket's into his teammates gullet, when i unfeign'd ,tranq'd and then stabbed the soldier in the back. Then the stupid spy comes running after me with his knife out. I tranq him then go at him with my double-shotty. All I can say I laughed about it for the rest of the map.

4 May 1999

It's 6:00AM in Los Angeles...

SteelAngel

Yep. We have a new site updater. Nextwish kicks ass, and the site update he has in mind is so pretty darn impressive, I even understand it. If you can name the song quote in today's update then you are a winner of:
1. My congratulations
2. A brand new love of life
3. Bundy's hair
Ok.. So I can't do #'s 2 and 3, but I sure can try :) Here is a definitely strange thing I just noticed. On 2forts for TFC, you see a lot of snipers kneeling, right? I just saw a spy today, who thought he'd be cool, and try to knife snipers. Well, the pud stood there with his axe out, dressed as a sniper, trying his best to kill the kneeing guy as if it wasn't obvious that he was completely out of place. Moral of this story? If your going to pretend to be a sniper, pretend to be a sniper, not "pretend to be a spy dressed as a sniper".

Site Updater Recruited

Heres A little about the new site updater (me). I Have been playing TF for a total of 2 years now and I currently live in Sydney, Australia. My favourite classes in these order are: spy,pyro,soldier,demoman. I've known about TF Spy Academy every since it was on TF-DOMAIN. How did I get this job you ask? Whilst i was doing my regular checking of sites on PF to see if they had been updated, when I noticed TFSPY was updated. So I decide to go check out the updates. Deciding that the site "could" look better i decide to *un-offically* wack together a newlayout for the site. Once i finished it i sent it to SteelAngel and asked what he though of it. Two days later I get an email back from him saying that he loved it, though it needs some major revamping. Thats basically how i got the job I can be contacted by email at: [email protected]. Welp anyways, stay tuned guys theres a major overhaul arriving very soon to the entire site. As I have nearly finished tweaking the new site design. Until then later.
