    Pretty sure it's this player: STEAM_0:1:51942543

One of the more recent additions. Didn't see where he infected you from "12 feet away", but the vanishing model is something I've seen before. Not sure it's his doing, though. I've encountered it at random times, but usually near the start of the round.

Plus, I don't think a player COULD make their own model vanish on someone else's screen. Those kinds of things are generated on your computer.

    Regardless of him mysteriously being invisible, it seems that he was standing right next to the spawn door ready to infect anyone who came out or on the way in.

Aye, models can either become invisible or appear way up above where they should normally be/where the player actually is, upon starting a demo. Interacting with the world (firing, getting hit, passing through an entity) usually fixes it, IIRC.

If he started a demo then and there just to record the guy, it's unsurprising that he'd go invis.

Idk about being infected 12 feet away, the video starts with him infected to begin with. =/

But yeah, he was definitely intent on delivering hugs and well wishes to those inside spawn.

    Yeah you are correct I forgot he infected me when I left resupply, that's why I started recording.

    Untick HD models in options... or do people actually like that awful sound?

    I don't mind the models so much, but yeah, that sound is just..... worse than nails on a chalkboard.

Any way to get rid of just that sound?

    The "HD models" option was never meant for TFC; they're the HD models that came with Blue Shift, and were meant to act as a potential replacement for the single-player HL games. Since TFC uses some of those models and sounds, it likewise can be affected, but certainly the obnoxious sounds that play when picking up bags for example were never intended.

All the HD replacement files are in the appropriate "valve_hd" folders, so you can rename or delete them in there if you don't like specific ones. You could also just copy the original files from the respective "valve" folders into "tfc_addon", and if you have "Enable custom addon content" checked in TFC's options, that should overwrite the valve_hd stuff without having to rename/delete original files (I've never actually tested if tfc_addon takes priority over valve_hd, though I'd imagine it would).

Or just uncheck the HD model option in TFC to go back to the way TFC was meant to look/sound, of course. =p

    That's how I'm playing anyway... without that box checked. I was just curious, though... the way TFC is behaving lately, I'm not sure messing with stuff will do any good.

I guess I can look on the bright side, and remember I don't have to hear, "The enemy has your intelligence!".............. ;)
