Undocumented changes

• Removed the cooldown timer from the Sandvich and the Dalokohs Bar when eating.
  • This was later revealed to be a bug, as Valve tried to make the Sandvich/Dalokohs Bar only trigger the cooldown when the heavy was hurt when he starts eating, likely in an attempt to revive "Heavy Picnics". It has since been correctly patched.
• The Tippler's Tricorne model was accidentally switched with the yet to be released Rimmed Raincatcher model.
• A green number now shows up by your health bar when you pick up health, similar to when hitting enemies with the Blutsauger.
• A little plus sign particle appears in the spot you picked up health.
• Accidentally Fixed taunt glitch involving switching weapons quickly.
• Added new currently unused "Hi-five" taunts for Demoman, Heavy, Medic, Pyro, Scout, Sniper, Soldier and Spy.
• Scottish Resistance now fires 25% faster and has a .2 second longer bomb arm time. (Total bomb arm time is now .8 seconds.)
• Added option to enable sound when TF2 is running at background.
• Pyro's Airblast pushes grounded stickies approximately twice the distance now.
• The Frontier Justice now works correctly with critical boosts.
• Players will automatically be respawned with their new loadouts if they switch weapons while in a spawn area.
• Removed the "class advisor" and class records from the top-right corner of the main menu
• Scouts will always switch to a melee weapon upon drinking Bonk!. This was done to fix the issue of players being able to fire their weapons immediately after drinking by holding the primary fire button.

Engine (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM)

• Added sv_alltalk to the list of convars that are checked for the sv_tags list.
• Fixed a model instance crash.
• Removed engine ConVar "r_ForceRestore"
