Well, they didn't just throw it. A significant amount of work had to be done, presumably. And the Source engine has two physics engines: the Quake-originated one, which deals with simple collisions of polygons on polygons (players on walls), and the actual physics engine which deals with wind, things bouncing and non-trivial collisions.

Bloodwater very obviously has a very high object count. The cart itself uses about 40: - 16 ambient_generics (which could have easily been condensed into just 3 by using sound scripts), - 12 models (which could have been merged into just 1 by using any modeling program), - 6 particle systems (could have been merged into 1 because they all play at the same time anyways), - and essential entities, like the func_tracktrain itself, the invisible dispenser, and several trigger volumes. All wooden fences are made from brushes and are tied to func_illusionary entities, same for all the cobwebs (even though there's a cobweb model in the game) and all the windows (even though they could have just been playerclipped instead), totaling to another 64 objects. Almost every stair also has a func_lod, because the original Badwater used those to fight the t-junct limit. (That's another 31 objects right there.) Then, being a Halloween map, it is littered with various particle effects, such as fire on the torches or souls rising everywhere (224 particle systems, including the cart), and gameplay objects such as spell books (54), pumpkin bomb spawnpoints (98) and soul gargoyle spawnpoints (only 5 somehow). Being a payload map, it has 124 path_tracks for the cart path. So, counting everything I just said, we have 634 objects. And there is still more I ignored, such as the entities related to the bosses (the bosses themselves + func_nav_avoid volumes), ropes, lights and doors. There are also 4 separate env_beam entities in one spot, all named "test_beam1". And another 27 ambient_generics in hell, some of which are duplicates to make the sound louder. DISCLAIMER: I'm not sure if the pumpkin bomb spawnpoints actually count towards the limit. The resulting pumpkin bombs definitely do, though.

Hopefully the item limit will be raised so we can get hats back!!! There's no possible way raising the limit could ever go wrong, right? ...Right?

[@trainershade1937]

I imagine it would require a lot of changes to get working. The game is rather archaic in a lot of regards (it's still a 32bit game after all). I imagine it, and many other issues, would be addressed if Valve updated TF2 to use the Source 2 engine.

[@Frozander]

I assume it is tied to packets sent between client and server and it might be a massive change to increase it.

I played on a 50v50 server with a friend and not having hats makes it really difficult to find your buddy but I do like the cleaner gameplay. Maybe JUST the hat slot- whichever item slot is in the top-right.

I think it would be cool if the ragdolls were client only and only appeared on servers for one frame just to tell the client’s that one spawned and then the client simulated the rest

[@Exkhaniber]

I'm fairly certain that's how it works already. I've had a bunch of experiences playing with friends where one of us will see a spectacularly funny ragdoll moment and mention it, only for everyone else in the group to have seen it play out completely differently. "Wow that medic got blasted by a rocket and his body flew up and landed on the top of that platform!", being met with, "uh no, his body is just here on the ground where he died". Stuff like that. We'd take F12 screenshots, compare and make sure we were talking about the same person in the same moment, and came to the conclusion that ragdoll bodies are all client-side. If ragdolls were 100% server-side, we wouldn't be able to routinely see the same player's body in completely different places and positions as we so often do.

[@da_pwo]

@@Exkhaniber so why would he have to remove ragdolls then

[@Exkhaniber]

@@da_pwo For the same reason he had to remove cosmetics. That one frame of the object can add up quickly multiplied by 100 people. Like he said in the video, that one singular frame of cosmetics could cause an issue, so the one frame ragdolls are server-side can also be an issue.

the thing is, 2k entities sounds like a reasonable limit even for a 100 players, it's just a shame that valve implemented the netcode part of their tf2's systems so lazily. In Left 4 Dead they actually made all the common infected share a single server entity in order to optimize the synced data, imagine if they went the same smart way about tf2 updates instead of just spamming new entities to synchronize every little detail in the game.

Can I just say the supermarket analogy, is probably the best explanation of parallel computing I've ever heard

[@LordDaret]

Quick question: is there not a way to increase the object limit in general? Is there something preventing?

[@QuintessentialWalrus]

The object limit is coded into the game itself, to my knowledge there's no way to change it via a single custom server. Even if it was possible, object limits are generally programmed into games for a good reason. Increasing it in TF2 could cause lots of other things to break.

I'm genuinely surprised all it takes is a 7900x3d to run this. I was expecting some crazy threadripper or multi CPU server solution but nah, just amd x3d magic. Truly a CPU of all time.

[@derkatwork33]

You’ve achieved something Valve would never care to achieve. TF2 should be given over to the players to support since the player base does more actual work on it than the people paid to do so.

[@Labyrinth6000]

Valve employees want a good resume and CS2 and Dota2 do a better job at it based on the number of people playing them. They have this work evaluation that indicates their job performance, and it seems to me that working on TF2 is likely going to get you in trouble since TF2 does not near the numbers as the two mentioned, but that’s a theory.

This is uttermost insanity... Simply amazing. The research, the solutions, everything. (Also, um, there's "content for mature audiences" in a spray shown in this video that could possibly take the video down if flagged by the system. I guess that's the curse of sprays. Not mentioning where because that would probably make people go crazy - and I want to see the witch hunt happen :3c -. Anyway good luck fixing that, as well as keeping the server running)

[@SunfallMelancholy]

nvm people already yelling about it on the pinned comment :aware:

[@koopdawhoop.]

no cosmetics should be a toggle-able setting in the normal game

[@CoolyCools]

Yeah but if you really want to theres a no hat mod

[@Puppycorn_18]
