TF2 bugfixes

Rocket jumps apparently fixed. The exploit on ctf_sawmill has not been fixed unfortunately.

Updates to Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Day of Defeat: Source

• Fixed an engine crash

Team Fortress 2

• Updated PL_Hoodoo. Changes from community mapmaker Tim Johnson:
  • “Added a balcony at 2-1 that I’ve rotated and cleaned up so it’s a much better point, it attracts less sentry spam but is still holdable. 2-2 has a bit more breathing room and the one way route between BLU/RED spawn in stage 3 has gone and in its place some stairs up to the second level accessible from BLU’s side.”
• Added “tf_ctf_bonus_time” ConVar to set the CritBoost bonus time for capturing the intelligence (0 to disable it)
• Added “tf_arena_first_blood” ConVar to toggle the first blood feature in Arena mode (0 to disable it)
• Added missing snowpuff particles for DX8 players
• Fixed rocket jumping
• Fixed sticky bomb attachment to props. They will now only ignore the saws in sawmill
• Fixed Scouts going into reference pose in double jumps
• Fixed the Ubersaw not displaying team colors
• Fixed Spies disguised as RED Scouts not cloaking properly
• Removed two more text messages for TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND CTF game mode
