HELP! Everything is too FESTIVE!

Ok, playing tonight with it being the Villes birthday i guess it replaced some of the models for the grenades with gift boxes. It also randomly displays a quote every couple of minutes. While this was fun on the Ville tonight. When I played on a public server afterwards, THE PRESENT MODELS AND QUOTES WERE STILL THERE! Does anyone know how I can restore everything back to normal? (No quotes, and no present box grenade models-->Everything back in order)

I got that on The Hood last night. It was great, because we couldn't tell the difference between any of the demoman's explosives. And detpacks turned into huge white presents

Great fun

Birthday presents etc. = fun mode.

Fun mode = server mod like chicken mod etc. (I think)

doesn't actually change your models for grenades. It just must have been another server with fun mode on.

IMHO fun mode = lag mode.

Today is Team Fortresses birthday. All of the servers run this mod today. It's automatic, and it can't be cut off. TF (not TFC) is 6 years old.

It was originally released as a Quake mod, and the developers who now work for Valve (Robin Walker & John Cook) celebrate very year by automatically turning this "birthday mod" on.

That was your history lesson for today boys and girls.

If you're bored, you can browse tfc\dlls\tfc.dll with a hex or text editor to read all of the 'birthday' messages. (specially since they seem to get
cut-off in game)...
