Other TF2 mods

So there are numerous other TF2 Source mods that haven't been documented on here yet, including but not limited to:

  • Team Deathmatch Classic (created 2018)
  • TF2 Vintage (created 2017)
  • Lambda Fortress (not too sure, plus there's like 2 or 3 versions by 2 or 3 teams of this now)
  • Fortress Obscura (not too sure, but likely 2023 as per the date of creation of the twitter @FortressObscura)
  • Sine Fortress (possibly 2022 as per the @SineFortress_ twitter)

While adding TF2Classic, Open Fortress and Pre-Fortress 2 to this, I noticed that OF and PF2 don't have a release date listed on their pages. Thanks to a 2016-2020 TF2 mod development timeline I found on Kiwifarms of all places, which I have also been updating and adding info from as far back as when I first created TF2Classic in November 2014, I can say that OF and PF2 were both released at some point in 2019. The timeline has an entry in 2019 mentioning that Open Fortress released in 2019. Pre-Fortress 2 came after Open Fortress, so I'm basing my estimate of PF2's release date on the date of creation of their Twitter page. TF2CutContent (talk) 21:17, 20 November 2023 (PST)

I also tried to look at the specific date of some of the mods that you presented, to be honest, yes, this is problematic. There are more abstract dates (2019),
Also some info about Open fortress (2020?)
I have gotten in contact with someone who may know more about the dates for OF and PF2, just waiting to hear back. I suppose one could always hop into their Discords (if one isn't banned from said Discords already 😂) and ask them what the initial release date of their mod is.
As for the other mods (TF2V, TDC, etc), they aren't documented on here yet, so I'd say not to worry about it until they are added.
Oh, and I suppose I should note some mod statuses:
  • TF2V is functionally dead at this point I think? I don't know if DIO still works on it.
  • TDC has still not had a public release. Just several leaked old builds and an asset source leak similar in fashion to the big January 2023 tf2 repo leak. Tons of PSD files and uncompiled assets.
  • Sine Fortress is dead.
  • Fortress Obscura is still actively being worked on and I think if there's any plans to make a new article for another TF2 mod, Fortress Obscura is the prime choice.
  • Lambda Fortress...I don't know. I honestly ignore Lambda Fortress because it's a mix of TF2 and HL2 and so to me, not a pure TF2 mod. TF2CutContent (talk) 21:47, 20 November 2023 (PST)
