Because I'm lazy, here is just what I sent to support just now:
"Ever since the account suspension, I have been monitoring the Server Load on and off and have noticed that it seems to be spiking fairly dramatically and regularly regardless of what the server is doing. I noticed this was happening even after reinstalling cpanel and wiping everything, so I am fairly certain it's not the software I am running causing this. So far it hasn't caused me any issues, but I'd rather head off problems before they occur. As far as I can see, either something loopy is happening on the machine or the traffic my website garners is causing problems. Which I'm fairly certain isn't the issue, because it hasn't drastically increased this week and it has never been a problem before.

These are only my guesses though and as far as I can tell, spikes are alright as long as they don't last more then 120 seconds but I would rather not have the account suspended again. And ideas/suggestions would also be appreciated as I am something of an amateur when it comes to running websites."
If anyone has any ideas I'd really welcome them right now. Same with what's on the front page.

Very sorry for the necrobump, but I need help with my chalice. I'm about ready to rig it, but I don't know the first thing about jiggle bones. Do I use the skin mesh to rig the bone to the booze alone or the whole chalice? Also, I need a good, clear and concise tutorial on how to alter existing qcs to make item replacements work in game. I'm planning on maybe going to FPS Banana with some of my stuff.

The very first thing that stuck me, even in the thumbnail: That chalice is way too goddamn big.

I guess this counts, not sure. Ever since the recent updates, I have not been able to find any of the weapon model or texture files in GCFScape. They used to be in the materials folder, but now that folder isn't even listed. Can anyone clear up where Valve moved them to? I've been searching for like an hour and still can't find them.

I managed to successfully compile my chalice's model into the game with no errors, but it only shows up in the loadout. Throughout the rest of the game, I see only the normal bottle. What do I do?

There is a help thread in /gmod/ for this type of thing. Please use that next time.

Any ideas what to do when 'memory could not be read'? I've tried all of the suggestions through Steam's tech help and nothing seems to work. I can get TF2 to load, but even on minimum settings it tends to have a heart attack and die if there's too many graphics to process.

I have what feels like a stupid question and I have no idea where it should be posted. This thread seems the best fit.

Are "names" retroactive? Like, if I finally decide to namefag, will the site be all "Oh! I know that IP. I'll go ahead and replace the name on all of their other posts too!"

Because I want to namefag for art and stuff, but I certainly don't want my name attached to stupid questions like this.

Nope, they're not. Can be handy, but can be irritating when you forget your name.

I'm having major sound issues with TF2 on my HP laptop. I have Windows 7. I use headphones to play because my roommate sleeps. At first, when I played L4D2 or TF2 the sound would shut off completely in the middle of games. I'd restart Steam and it would work again. At least until I ended a match. Now, when I play games with my headphones plugged in, the sound only comes out of my speakers.

Both the speaker icon and the headphone icon show up in the sound mixer when I load up a game. I've tried going to 'sound' and changing the 'communications' option. I've tried binding the audio setting to 'headphones' on TF2. I've opened a question in Steam support with no response.

Please help!

Okay, now I've discovered that changing the audio settings on TF2 from 'headphones' back to 'two speakers' makes the audio go away completely instead of having it come out of the speakers.

Starting the last few days, the medic's healing beam doesn't show up in first person. It's there in third person, and all other effects work. I've tried deleteing skins and verifying cache integrity, but so far nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

It seems to have fixed itself after Valve optimized the soldier lasers.

uh
does anyone know what the fuck is happening here?
None of the other classes are showing up so I can't shoot them. Help?

Have you tried re-installing? I have seen this issue come up several times in a few places, but I don't recall ever seeing a solution.

>>610
Yeah,I redownloaded it as well to make sure that wasn't the problem.
It must just be my computer or something.

1.) Whenever I play as spy and I try to sap an enemy anything, the outline of the sapper will show up on the device, but primary fire won't place the sapper. I button mash until I'm blue in the face, but no sapper. Has anyone else had this problem/ know a fix?

2.) Do I need a special mic to voice chat, or will the one in my laptop work? I've tried using voice chat in-game, but it doesn't work for me. Is there a setting I need to change to make my laptop's mic pick up sound (if this is possible)? And is it possible to use voice chat while using headphones?

Sorry, that was more like five stupid questions... I'm such a noob it's not even funny.

Do you have your dead ringer out?
