2009 December 22 - TF2 Update

[FadedOasis]

A required update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive the update. The specific changes include:

- Added an "equipped" tag to currently equipped items in the Backpack and Crafting screens
- Fixed the TFBots not reacting correctly to stun effects
- Fixed the Heavy picking up his own thrown sandvich if it was thrown while running forward
- Fixed Pyros not getting the proper kill icon for kills with deflected Direct Hit rockets
- Fixed the player keeping their rage setting when the Buff Banner isn't equipped
- Fixed resupply cabinet not clearing the rage and the buff status effect
- Fixed the Buff Banner not working when +reload has been forced in console
- Fixed the motion blur on charging Demomen not always drawing
- Fixed the Direct Hit mini-critting enemies submerged in water
- Fixed the Chargin' Targe's crit not working on servers with tf_weapon_criticals 0
- Capped the amount of overhealing from taking heads to the player's max buffed health
- Updated the Gunboats to absorb damage from any self-inflicted rocket blast that doesn't hurt another player
- Updated the Scottish Resistance to detonate bombs near the player's feet (in addition to what it normally detonates). This enables sticky jumping with this weapon.
- Updated the Baseball and Jarate HUD indicators to stay on screen when full

Crafting improvements:
- Spy's unlockable PDAs can now be smelted into scrap metal
- Recipes can no longer produce items matching any of the items used in the crafting
- Added some new recipes

Achievement fixes:
- Fixed the "Ride of the Valkartie" Soldier achievement being earned by Soldiers on the defending team
- Fixed the "Gorky Parked" Heavy achievement being incremented by committing suicide on a control point
- Fixed several Scout achievements that were broken by the new type of bat stun
- Fixed the "Ghastly Gibus Grab" achievement not awarding the hat correctly
- Updated the "Big Pharma" (Medic) and "Division of Labor" (Heavy) achievements to be 10 kills in a single life
- Updated the "Ubi concordia, ibi victoria" Medic achievement to only be 3 assists

Hooray for Sandvich fix and recipe fixes!

Boo for making Big Pharma and Division of Labor easier. I worked hard on that shit.

I'm happy about this, I was water camping on 2fort earlier today trying to get Krazy Ivan and the direct hit was the bane of my existence.

Wow, thank goodness. I didn't think I'd ever get that one.

I've gotten real close to Big Pharma before. But with the advent of the Direct Hit and the other new weapons it's getting harder and harder to achieve.
