Birthday mode

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.
