Contains binaries for both Windows and Linux.
Run launch.bat or launch.sh, set a username, and connect.
That's it.

SERVER WILL BE HOSTED AT cy-x.net:27015
Open console with ~ and type: connect cy-x.net:27015
The server won't appear on the master server list.
Custom maps, some old PartyVan saysounds, and some QoL plugins. Vanilla gameplay and chat is bridged with Cyberix's IRC, XMPP, Mumble, and even SSH chatrooms.

The client uses Goldberg so there's no dependency on Valve or Steam. The archive is permanent and portable.

Linux note: Flamethrower particles are currently broken on the native Linux client. Wine/Proton is recommended until fixed.

If you *really* want to play using Steam: Drop tf_2008_revived into your sourcemods folder, switch SDK 2013 MP to the 'previous2021' branch, and restart Steam.
