Steam > Right Click TF2 > Properties > Startup Options > Type This: -textmode -noshader -novid -console -nosound
Start it now, It should now be a command prompt
now:
Steam > Servers
Find a Team Fortress 2 Idle Server Using game parameter "Team Fortress 2"
in map section type "achievement_idle"
join a game
the command prompt version of TF2 (running at barley ANY recourses :D) should connect to it.
No, you do not have to join a team. Just let it sit there.
When finished (wait about 3 hours MINIMUM) take away the parameters in Startup Options, start the game like normal, join ANY server connected to steam, Join a team, Go in and play until you die. RECEIVE SHIT LOADS OF ITEMS.
6 days of idle 128 hours and 42 items (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzn6hJqHjJA&feature=related#)
SUCCESS!

wow great idea. +1
-
Im still afraid vac will pwn us.
-
They have done one thing in the past about this.
Taken all idlers weps, given all non idlers a hat.
I contacted steam support about this, They said it is not against a rule, but they think it is unfair, even though you are spending the same amount of time as other people do lol.
Don't be scared.
btw this is when you see people who get like 9 things at a time and the whole server is jealous :D.
as you can see, no VAC bans were given to those idlers, just a reset. lol
NOTE:// Valve says "We don't expect to do anything promotional like that again, it did bring us alot of attention but lost a lot of players."
-
HOLY CRAP!
Thanks!!! +1
-
Trying this ;D
-
Been Idle for 11 hours and one minute
Got 8 new weps :D.

How is it hacking when I spend just as much real time as you playing TF2?
The only thing I am doing is leaving the game and eating sandviches.
-
can I have a sandvich? C:-)
-
Idling never works for me... :(
-
Be pro, play the game properly...
-
Good idea. But I play normally.
-
I have a halo too :I
>Play the game properly
no where is says the "Proper Way" to play TF2
And it is all really just personal preference.

Seems to me that Valve wants people to actually play the game and not just idle
anyway tf2 has changed a lot, it was really a lot more fun and unique back in the day
-
The change was for a good cause.
U *cant* just play the same thing forever.
-
Ok.... i don't see why people care if others do it... its the same thing as just joining a server and alt tabbing and going to do whatever... its not like its speeds up the time or anything... you'd get the same shit if you were to play for that long to begin with so i really don't understand why people care...
-
hmmm ill try this, but now the "new" tf2 its takes over an hour of full kicking ass just to get one weapon, and a hat never droped for me yet...
-
Sanders just got 13 weps including paint lol.

Krasher, please don't tell me you're using the program from drunken f00l.
It WILL get you VAC banned.
-
Krasher, please don't tell me you're using the program from drunken f00l.
It will get your TF2 Items Wiped!
fix'd +
No way, taht program is fucking ghey. That doesn't work anymore anyway lol.
DrunkenF00ls uses a third party Application to "Hax"
What I am using just reconnects you. lol and tells you what you got before you open it when you are done.
-
Here is a little Q and A. All these statements have been confirmed.
Q: Isn't Source tools a third-party program?
A: It's not really a "program" per say. It's a scripted list of commands that are run by cmd.exe, CMD.exe is the windows command prompt. 100% legitimate and not 3rd party [unless Valve considers windows to be a 3rd party program, and that would be the only case that you could ever get caught by using third party mods.]
Q: What about SteamItemManager?
A: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3273/emailapp.png (http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3273/emailapp.png)
It is as clean as: http://www.tf2items.com/ (http://www.tf2items.com/)

Item drops get reset on every Thursday.
Are you sure you actually joined a server while idling?
-
Just a question how do you get items if you don't join a team?
-
Because VALVe is stupid,
-
ill try this Thursday and if it doesn't work, valve is gayz.

Bump for people who want.
