TF2 Idle Server (Get Random Item Drops Doing Nothing)

[squee666]

Basically as you all know Team Fortress 2 has a random drops for you Items/weapons etc
this is based on game time played so people create Idling servers to get items.

Here is one of them.
You will have to connect through Console or whatever
This is like the achievement server Except you can just idle all you like tabout watch movie.

You can also Text Mode Idle which uses low resources

How to text-mode idle

1. Right click on your desktop and create a new shortcut.

2. Type in "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 440 -textmode -nosound -window -nopreload -novid -dxlevel 81 +map "itemtest"

3. Save your file.

4. Open the file.

An alternate method of in-game idling makes use of shortcut\batch commands or the developer launch parameters. To open the launch option, go to your games library, right click on TF2, then select properties and open "Set Launch Options". When a new box appears, place the following text -textmode -nosound -noipx -novid -nopreload -nojoy -sw +sv_lan 0 +map "itemtest", once that's done you may start your game which will load it using much lower RAM, inside of a terminal-like window. If you prefer to use a different map just add the name at the end +map "map name here". Going into Steam and TF2 as normal without the commands and lowering the graphic quality with disabling the Steam overlay will lower the use of RAM even further. This method can also be used with various software that spoofs a environment or isolates Steam to idle multiple accounts, depending on how much RAM a computer has. Some things used include virtual machine software, running TF2 in Linux with Wine\Cedega, or using sandbox-based isolation software like Sandboxie. In April 2011, OpenTrainingDialog was broken with the added class-specific training maps, but the tiny map, ItemTest, is still playable.

Quoted from TF2 Wiki

Idling is Allowed but is also bannable if 3rd Party programs are used.


Have Fun Unlocking all you hats and weapons. You deserved to know this.

Are there anymore of these servers, I can't get in because my download of the map is not the same as the servers. Can't workaround this. And would like to get some nice items from just idling.
