FAQ:
Q: How did you make that? What editing software do you use?
A: I use Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro & After Effects. Photoshop for image editing and thumbnails. Premiere Pro for compositing and After Effects for motion graphics (the fancy animations).

hello they're actually updating the game TOO fast (sentences tf2 players thought they'd never hear). this video is for everything BEFORE the newest july 25th patch. (so it only covers july 12 - 24)
yes i am already getting back in the video dungeon to make videos about the 100 player cap and the new update ;_;
a rushed video is forever bad, but a delayed video is eventually good. don't settle for a mere 75 player server, wait until an optimization mod gets released so we can have the full 100 player experience. it will be glorious
100 player Battle royale!
When you cover the update from the 25th please note that VSH still is crashing and has not been fully fixed yet.

"They removed the ability to ride the bird."
Nevermind this update's shit
Favorite harmless bug and it was removed... Why Valve!? WHY!?
They better not fix being able to build teleporters in spawn on the seal map
@@endaburns2121 That can be a big problem if some asshole puts a teleporter exit inside spawn. Enemy spies can get into your spawn and spawncamp you.
@@andyfriederichsen Exactly. That's what I'm talking about.
why are people surprised about this?
Valve fixed this exact same kind of bug on de_train years ago, except that was pigeon instead of a seagull
I like how you used a sad troll face for the mvm bug fix.
I sense this comment getting hundreds and thousands of likes, I must reply to it.
well edited and plenty of attention to detail
i loved that attention to detail so much
Environmental storytelling
Headcannon: the troll got so mad and sad he couldn't do this anymore his profile literally changed to the sad face
The seagull exploit reminded me of a very similar exploit in CS:GO. When they fixed it there, they put a sign saying to not ride on birds or something like that.
That was on DE_Train
For those that don't know what happened:
In a Pro match (I think). A player on the T side, ran from Spawn at start of the round and jumped onto the flock of birds. The birds acted as a Solid mesh (?) And the player flew into the sky, with the birds. I think the issue was there was a trigger area that did not get setup properly and the players exploited the trigger and ended up taking a ride. The change was made to the map and the sign added to act as a kind of "in joke" to those that saw or knew about it.
"На птиц не наступать"
There's even an in game sticker named* "Noble Steed" that refers to that
@@hegyakI don’t think it happened on a pro match it was fixed pretty quick
Every rule has a story
The Troller's face changed to sadness because the bug got patched 1:07 to 1:16 very amazing detail to this video. (And this video was uploaded on my birthday!)
good job on being birthday 🎉
good birthday 👍
Weird, it's my dad's birthday as well
1): cool detail find
2): haPPY FRIGGIN BIRTHDAY MAH FELLOW SKELLY

Very concisely put Gabe. That's why you make the big bucks.

"Summer update, bug fixes, me explain"
Poetic. Enlightening. Acute. Perfection.
Imagine 100 player Server class wars
*immediately crashes with "no more edicts" error*
There are 100 player VSH servers, and it's lagging like hell until like 40 players are left alive
BATTLE ROYALE GAME MODE CONFIRMED
I really appreciate you forgoing all the extraneous bullshit RUclipsrs fill their videos with, like 3 minute introductory rambling, sponsors, and desperately begging people to subscribe. Instead, you get straight to the point and deliver the content promised in the title and thumbnail, making the whole experience far more streamlined and the content much more engaging and digestible. Thank you!
@user-vn4rm1de9o yeah sponsors are definitely more forgivable tbf but I still appreciate when they don't interrupt the flow of the video too much
@@jamesdevine02 Because Shounic has not sold out like others have. Classic RUclips was about "Broadcast Yourself" and not "Shill Yourself". Shounic is an oldie but a goodie like that by keeping to the creed of the original pre google pre pewdiepie platform.
fun fact regarding the longer engineer high five taunt delay: the engineer actually uses a "short" version of the taunt, and the full taunt version lasts the exact amount of time this erroneous delay lasts for. so they set the delay to this longer version and never changed it back once they switched the animation to the quicker version.
there's a potential chance the game is still calculating the length to be the longer version, as the short version has _short added to the end of the animation name, while the longer version lacks it.
2:00 Medic also has this problem, but on the Skullcracker partner taunt. So much end lag and it's still there.
I saw the update to prevent airblast trolling in mvm. I did not know they also addressed the issue related to party shenanigans which prevents the upgrade menu usage.
That's big for mvm players. Good job, Steve the Intern.
We're still waiting on one change to a singular line of code in MvM.
Whenever the bomb carrier (or any robot) has been stuck for long enough, it will die, using the function takedamage. I am not confident that the "spawning bots immune to airblast" will be effective in this.
What I mean by this is that that function needs to be changed to dosuicide, based on the activities of certain groups that Valve for some reason won't give a Cease and Desist
I can't believe Bob the Intern is also a security engineer and the scrum lead. No wonder we've been seeing so many speedy patches.
@@MrSonny6155 None of this is difficult, community fixes have been on the workshop for a VERY long time. 99% of these bug fixes are either with brand new stuff or clicking four buttons (yeah complex stuff i know)
@@risa1467 And this isn't impossible either. Or just do what half the community has been begging for for awhile:
- Airblast doesn't exist in Two Cities or Expert
- Knockback Rage doesn't exist in Two Cities or Expert
- Scorch Shot can't be equipped
Basically robots can't take knockback.
They better add a sign that says "Do not ride seagulls" into the map
All these fixes really bring hope about TF2's future.
99% of them are done by the community mappers. the only valve updates here were the achievement menu, contracker, and playercount. its not nothing but the mad props really belong to mappers for fixing stuff so fast!
oh and also the mvm fix was valve
The contracker bug doesnt fix anything for TF2s future, if the future of the game is about sweating so that even the slightest funny glitch gets a hard nerf because of 1 class, then its not a good future.
Rocket jumping was a glitch, you wanna remove that?
@@trollking6315So you are telling me that you would prefer "invisible" snipers everywhere just for the sake of an actually not very funny glitch? Rocket Jumping might have been a glitch from the start (or more of an oversight that a glitch) but it has been worked around, fixed, and balanced to create the funny trolliders today. Unfortunately, this ConTracker glitch made the game pretty unbalanced and unless there is a workaround, should be fixed.
@@trollking6315Unronically comparing the Contractor Glitch to rocket jumping makes me question your intelligence
do they really though? nothing of substance came out and valve had little to do with anything that was added (maps/skins... SO FUN!)
No gameplay changes... many weapons are still boring messes despite a billion fixes recommended by the community.
I'm gonna be convinced valve has us out to dry until an actual update happens with new contracts and buffs to the many useless weapons, class or heavy updates, ANYTHING OF ACTUAL SUBSTANCE. Skins and (broken) maps are nothing but a simple appeasement.
I love the minor detail of the troll's avatar being happy when the glitch worked, and sad when it was fixed.
2:11 that made me laugh so hard, classic Valve
The seagull exploit has the same energy as a Pokémon trainer using the move Fly on a Pidgey.
small note about the spawn room in cashworks: normally a spawnroom set to any change their team depending on the spawnpoints inside however the respawnroom visualizer only updates if its listed after the respawnroom in the vmf
ah interesting. so it was probably working fine in previous versions. i was wondering how they fucked it up between versions. thanks :)
@@shounic So, a spawnroom which changes team affiliation, like Red's initial spawn on Upward, would have to be marked as any, and have its respawnroom visualizer's code located after it in the VMF?
@@irregularassassin6380 no you can just fire an event at the respawn room to switch sides when a point gets capped
@@shounic AH, yeah, that sounds like a much cleaner strategy.
@@shounic it must have happened when valve was adding the translation strings to the map
I appreciate how you explain background code stuff with human analogies, like describing the null code as a "broken promise", makes it very easy for someone like me with no programming knowledge to understand
At 3:02 there seems to be a rendering bug, where the door frame behind the stops sign gets rendered infront of it
It exists on every map as far as i know, its a source rendering issue
Alpha sorting issue
i think its because the texture is an overlay
that has existed for 16 years buddy, you're not special for pointing it out
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan you seem very hostile towards someone who was just pointing out something that he thought was interesting
The seagull being a train reminds me of that time a Fallout game attached a train carriage to an NPC's head.
History rarely repeats, but it often rhymes
Wasn't it a rabbit wearing train as a hat? Or was that some other game
@@DoktorJammifiedThe monorail in New Vegas is a default npc with a train for a head
I had no idea the contracker even had an animation. I've never seen anybody use it before
I believe you have to equip it in your loadout for the animation to play
Yep, it has to be in your Utility slot. It appears on your butt, and plays a sound effect, with an accompanying visual effect, when you earn progress on your current contract. Then, if you open the Contracker menu, your character plays an animation of taking it out and pondering it.
It was a fairly common sight during Jungle Inferno, and watching Heavies move around while pondering it by using the bug was always hilarious.
@@irregularassassin6380 oh I never paid for the extra content so I never got the item. I just do the Merasmissions and the Pyro things
Your videos are amazing, nice visuals, clear explanations, TF2.
Thank you for the effort shounic, it's much appreciated!
R.I.P. Funny contracker sliding, 2017-2023. You were always quite humorous.
1:04 love the detail of the pfp being a trollface when its doing the exploit and then when its doing it after getting fixed is a sad trollface now xD
Those details are lovely
The program:*can't point at something*
The program too:*explodes*
looks like somebody doesn't know how computers work
this isn't surprising behaviour
no " != null" check moment
I love these videos! Thanks for taking the time of making them.
"Summer Update. Bug fixes. Me explain."
I don't know why but this really made me laugh haha
Thank you, Shounic! Explaining and understanding is here
I love the way you explain technical code issues in a digestible way, while still keeping the analogies accurate. Keep up the good work!
If they fix the engi high five thing, hope they also fix the same issue when Spy does his disguise kit taunt
I love the small detail about the mvm bug where you couldnt play mvm, where the inviter had a trollface profile picture, and in the fixed version he has a sad trollface picture.
Thanks for making these types of videos, I enjoy them very much
Thank you shounic for your hard work
Your videos bring endless entertainment and knowledge, please never stop!
I love the change in the troll's profile picture after the fix. Great friend you got to co-operate like that lol. (Unless you use two accounts with 2 PCs)
I love the pfp change for "troller" before and after the MvM exploit was fixed lmao
ive been waiting for your videos
"The seagull here is technically an invisible train."
Man I love being a software developer.
That seagull bug gave me nostalgia with csgo and the new version of de_train where you could ride the pigeons and fall to your death
Yeah I noticed the engi one and was so overjoyed because that was always annoying as hell... and I was so disappointed when I found it just, still happens lmao
Dang I can't ride the seagull anymore :c
the small detail of trollface changing upon unsuccessful trolling is wonderful
00:34 Yooo! You played upturned too, I played it recently and absolutely loved it!
In one game you can ride the birds, in the other one you can't. One of them is clearly superior
They've been fixing that damn contracker bug for 6 years now
i really loved the trollface segment of the invitation part
I didn't know that when u had the contracker equipped that Ur character actually pulls it out and looks at it when u look at it in game that's pretty cool
i'¿ve been waiting for this video for a while, this gonna be good
I appreciate the happy vs. sadge troll bit
pop pop
Those were probably the most functional traffic cones in the history of TF2
"The seagull is an invisible train you can stand on" is exactly the sort of weird fuckery to make things work I'd expect from a video game, but it's also a hilarious sentence out of context.
@@risa1467 That's the most famous example
i like how he changed troller's pfp from happy to sad on the mvm party bug lol
I hope the mvm upgrade fix also extends to it closing when anything related to players connecting and disconnecting happens.
damn riding seagulls sounds cool tho
omg new video 😱
Holy shit the party influencing the mvm menu was intended behaviour I thought. Glad they fixed it cause that is such a peeve when doing mann up
i love that you made the trollface sad when they couldn't troll the person anymore
splendid
heeeeyyy shounic u gonna use the new songs from bannana slug or na? i quite like it so would be nice
With the new 100 players servers it would be nice to checl what could cause a crash due to the excess of some entities spawning, like what happened with the shooting gallery during scream fortress.
Darn, they removed the birdboost.
At least we have the seal. ^^
This man is good at after effects
The seagull fix was overkill 😢
Found the soldier that liked to abuse it. You get what you deserve.
the ones getting bother by Soldiers with Cowmanglers may differ.
02:14 however the OK hand sign looks less effed up
"Summer update. Bug fixes. Me explain."
Best intro ever XD
so apparently a unique animation plays for every class when pulling up the contracker…
the more you know, i guess!
Good video.
2:12 they also broke it for medic, or at least when I did a partner taunt right after the update went live it was broke for me
AFAIK you *can* do a brief contracker glitch by using this command:
bind [any bind] "cl_first_person_uses_world_model 1; cyoa_pda_open 1; wait 350; cyoa_pda_open 0; wait 400; cl_first_person_uses_world_model 0"
note:
1. the "cl_first_person_uses_world_model" is for checking only
2. why "cyoa_pda_open 1; wait 350" instead "cyoa_pda_open 1; wait 5" are because your classes just put it back instead holding it and make you "stuck" in that pose for a while
3. explains 2 a bit, the "wait 350" is depends of which classes that have faster or slower taking the contracker. 350 is Soldier, Heavy, Pyro, and Sniper animation lengths
Normies work all year, except during Summer vacation.
TF2 developers sleep all year, except during Summer vacation.
RIP Jimmy the seagull. Man I wish they would have left that in...
You're still mad about that time on the pipe aren't you :D
I have a feeling that Mr. Shounic with his technical expertise would be able to solve all of tf2 problems and bots in record time if only Valve hired him.
Ever since the latest update, it’s been taking longer to load into a game which is an issue I’ve never had before. Is that a bug too? If so, what’s going on?
Nice, could always use more.
It’s funny that the bird thing happened in TF2 considering it was an issue on some CS:GO maps too.
Wasn't it only on Train
What is the best way to report bugs to valve? I’ve been using the bug reporter but I’m not sure it works
lmao that ending
If the cone had collision doesn’t that mean for a short time the long range flamethrower glitch was back?
They should add a sign that says do not ride the birds
3:40 bros recreated the de_train seagull glitch lol
Guess this video answered whether BLU could enter RED's spawns in Cashworks if the door was held open for them. They can't... but I am making an assumption here and could be wrong.
I'm gonna miss the funny contracker pose.
I can't believe they broke the ability to ride seagulls and then had the audacity to call it a fix.
my man
"Team Fortress 2."

I wish they kept seagul riding. This sounds cool.
NOOO THE SEAGULL RIDING WAS PATCHED
I'm sad they fixed the contracker bug, it was funny to run around as a glowing sniper staring at his phone, but I understand why they had to patch it out.
Maybe they'll add something back in some day so it can be as harmless as A-posing.
I’ll never forget the time I went to ctf well did the contracker exploit as demo then watched a sniper try to headshot me, he then went for his melee, that’s when I double donked him as I laughed so hard
3:50 not the 2nd source flying seagull
I played cashworks on community servers for years before Valve adding it and the spawn glitch wasn't there. Why?
Of all the bugs Valve could have screwed up patching, I'm glad it was something as relatively harmless as Engi being in a taunt for a second or so too long.
The time TF2 updates quickly is when you’re making videos about updates. Oh, TF2~
Dang it. No more Scout dance parties in Cashworks BLU spawn.
Contracker exploit was so good and funny. I'm gonna miss it so so much i hope there's another way to do it
3:40 wtf is with valve and standing on birds?
On frontier, why do I respawn in reds final spawn when I win as the Blu team
I thought the seagull was a feature
they could have fixed the contracker exploit for just the sniper because its funny to use the holiday punch in the broken animation as heavy
