Party mode

From TF2 Wiki

Party mode is the successor to the birthday mode in Team Fortress Classic and is activated on servers that have disabled blood. It is used to celebrate a player's birthday, festive occasions or simply for fun.

Like in TFC, TF2 automatically turns birthday mode on when a server's clock hits August 24th, the release date of the original Team Fortress (1996).

Enabling party mode

Party mode can be enabled by setting tf_birthday 1 in your server.cfg.

Changes in party mode

• Every player wears a party hat.

• When shot, you bleed balloons.

• If you are blown to pieces, you explode into streamers and confetti instead of blood, and your gibs turn into presents.

• Whenever you achieve a critical hit, you hear party horns, champagne poppers and people cheering and clapping.
