TF2 User Messages

Invader Amoto · **Author**

I didn't see these anywhere after searching the forums and the wiki, so I just wrote a little plugin to get them.
These are the indexes and names of all the user messages in TF2 (as of this post).

How convenient. I wish I had known this.

Unfortunately, I personally have no idea how one gets what data types the bitstream contain. I assume it's done by looking at the length of the bitstream and what the data itself looks like (and seeing which ones look like strings and which don't).

The types are pretty easy to see in disassembly. The difficulty of finding the significance of each piece is what varies.

I know, I spent a lot of time deciphering what the various types in the vote usermessages were for, figuring out the last piece of the puzzle a few weeks ago (based on what someone told me about their experience with L4D2's vote usermessages).

I put what I found on the Wiki, since I'm taking forever to write an extension to handle all this.
