titan.tf DLC

This is the optional content pack for Titan.tf servers. The installation of this pack is required in order to see and hear custom content on our servers. Content includes all items found in the Titan universe and Mann vs Machine icons, sounds and models.

Installation

Tutorial: How to find your tf/custom folder

If you already know how to do this, skip ahead.

  1. Go to your Steam library and right-click on Team Fortress 2.
  2. Click properties and a small window will appear.
  3. Go to the Local Files tab.
  4. Click Browse Local Files.

Automatic (Recommended)

If you would like an easy one-click installation process, connect to our content distributor server (IP: download.titan.tf:11111). To connect to a TF2 server via the IP address, type connect download.titan.tf:11111 into your Team Fortress 2 developer console.

Warning

The content distributor server has been deprecated. Why? TF2 limits the speed at which custom content can download, this causes a significantly longer time to download content through the automatic process as compared to manually installing it yourself.

Manual via GitHub #1

  1. Download GitHub Desktop and install it.
  2. Launch GitHub Desktop.
  3. Press CTRL + SHIFT + O.
  4. You will see 3 tabs (GitHub.com, GitHub Enterprise Server, and URL). Click on URL.
  5. Enter TitanTF/Titan-DLC under the first "Repository URL or GitHub username and repository" entry.
  6. Find your tf/custom folder location and place it in the second entry below. For example, the standard Team Fortress 2 installation on a 64-bit OS under the C drive looks like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom
  7. Make sure the entry ends with a new folder name such as Titan DLC. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom\Titan DLC so that it will install into a new folder within tf/custom. Mods will not work when they are solely placed into the tf/custom folder!
  8. Click on Clone and the content will start downloading.
  9. Go to titan.tf Settings.
  10. Check the Custom Item Sounds checkbox.
