Heyo! Welcome to the month of March! Spring is almost upon us, and with it comes some spring cleaning towards the server. We also have a few new maps for the month up on the server. Take a look!

Breaker

Pall Mall

This is somewhat important now. We have switched to a new version of UMC (Ultimate Mapchooser) that now allows Workshop support. More than 80% of the maps have been updated to now fetch from the Steam Workshop instead of FastDL.

Another thing to note is, yes, I'm sadly shelving TF2Ware Ultimate. No matter what I try, it is almost a 50/50 chance that it will crash the server. Still can't figure out the cause, and all links seem to point to the map itself.

Other than that, in keeping with the spring cleaning theme, a lot of maps are getting the axe. Say goodbye to a lot of Payload maps! I don't think they'll be missed much...

Heyo! September is here along with some new maps! Most of the maps from the Summer update will be shelved, along with the Versus Saxton Hale mode. We have a lot of interesting stuff this month, including an updated version of the old 5CP Black Mesa map.

That's all for now! Reminder there's a giveaway on the Discord that ends tomorrow right before Hovel, so you won't wanna miss that! Good luck!

Heyo! If you've been out of the loop, the Summer update has dropped for Team Fortress 2 for a few hours now. The Hovel has been updated to feature al(lmost) all the 14 new maps added. Some are returning maps that you may have seen previously.

We will not be including Venice due to some negative reception from Hovelers last month, and Cashworks will not be available due to a current spawn bug that needs to be dealt with in an official update. Versus Saxton Hale will also not be included as it's also currently broken. Truly an update, I know.

Because the Summer update is unlike Scream Fortress or Smissmass, I'll be considering whether or not to make exceptions for some of the featured maps to stay included on The Hovel.

That's all for now. Enjoy the update everyone!

Heyo! Sorry for the sort of last minute update on the map pool, though I had it updated last night already. Just had to push out the notice. Some more new maps are being added.

Heyo Hovelers! Lots of amazing maps have been uploaded to the Workshop for TF2's upcoming Summer Update. They're all SO good that I'm going to be including most of them for the month. We also have a few more VSH maps for the month. Take a look!
