VAC? Sniper by HelloMyNameIsAAA + IDGCaptainUkraine

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the bloody heck is this thing ?

VAC? Sniper is a joke, broken character that basically make fun of Team Fortress 2's recent misfortunes. While it mostly focused on the aimbot problem that plagued
the game for a long time, recent events have turned the game into more of a mess than it already is. The Crate Depression, the appearance of bots with the sole purpose
of lagging and crashing servers, and the Source Code Leak all happened within the span of less than a year, and that is combined with the game's lack of a major update since
Jungle Inferno. While many panicked, other responded with hilarious memes, and this is quite the point of this character, and Team Fortress 2 is still a beloved game
with a massive Internet culture.


Update Edit: Well, quite a few events happened on TF2 since VAC? Sniper got made, including one of the very few actions Valve made to combat the bots...and they are still a problem. Guess VAC? Sniper deserves a nice update after all,
Including references to some of the bots that spawned since then.

Update Edit 2: Somehow, this character stayed revelant 3 years after he got created, after like a literal social media movement including many popular TF2 influencers to get Valve to literally care about the game, and they got an official response...sort of.
Did that work ? The results are somewhat dissapointing at very least, and ''The Master Hacker'' stayed in.

Description and Movelist

VAC? Sniper is a parody of your usual aimbot character, complete with attempted votekicks, people in the chat being disgusted and leaving, spamming annoying voices, and shooting up invisible Spies
(represented by Segalow). Be careful, he have many unexpected tricks up his sleeves.

While he might be broken offensively, he cannot block and jump, have a painfully slow walk, and is low on health. Exploit those weakness to your advantages if you are fighting against him.

A; Shoot

Basically your basic aimbot attack. It is an unblockable fullscreen who deals 150 damage. It can only hit one opponent at a time so there is some grace there.

F,X: Teleport Forward
B,X: Teleport Backward

Exactly what they say on the thin. Teleporting have a cooldown when being used so it cannot be really abused.

B; 10x Jarate (Requires 500 power)
Throw a 10x Jarate. If it hit, it will coats the entire screen and every opponents in Jarate. Enemies coated in piss will received temporaily increased damege from VAC? Sniper.

C; 100 000th Visitor Message (Requires 1000 power)
Use your knowledge in RCE exploits thanks to the Source Code leak to summon a fan-favorite spam message.
It will spaz all around the screen. Up to two of them can appears at any given time.

Y; Great Wall (Require 500 power)
Summon a ''Great Wall'' who pushes opponents further from you.

D, DB, B, Z; Disconnection Problem (Requires 1000 power)
Use your integrated lagbot to freeze the game. After a while (One eternity later, apparently), it will dish out a fullscreen attack to the opponents.

D, DF, F, Z; Van (Requires 1000 power)
A random Spy will mock you and spawn a van who rams towards unsuspected opponents. It is very reminiscent of Omega Tiger Woods' Shrimp Bus Hyper.

B, F, Z; Glitched Unusuals (Requires 1000 power)
Uh ! Oh ! Crates become glitched to have a 100% Unusual spawn rate ! They will rain from the sky and destroy themselves into their new heavily deflated value.

D, DF, F, Y: Can You Quack? (Requires 1000 power)
A reference to the Can You Quack? bots, one of those at least nidly amusing bots that micspammed a vulgar song. Plastic ducks will appreas in a wavy fashion.

D, DB, B, Y: Sent to Wutville (Requires 1000 power)
VAC? Sniper will try to sent the opponent to the Wutville map, a Christmas map known for being low quality yet accepted by Valve.

F, B, Z; Tryhard Medic (Requires 1500 power)
VAC? Sniper will call in a Medic who wanted bragging right and help him, giving him healing and a full Uber.
This move was coded by IDGCaptainUkraine. Special thanks to him !

D, DB, B, D, DB, B, Y+Z: The End (Requires 3000 power and having less than 33% health)
The ultimate desperation move. Upon using it, every Helpers that VAC? Sniper spawned dissapears, except the Medic.
He also cannot use any moves outside of the Jarate, Wall, or Teleport. To allow some usage, VAC? will gain 1k power upon using that move.
A 5 seconds countdown will appears, if VAC? Sniper is failed to be killed, the absolute worst will happens.

S; Spray
Spray a picture on the wall. Currently defaults to the default Team Fortress 2 logo. There will be some instructions to add your own.

F or B, S: Noise Maker - Winter Holiday
A lot of recent bots have been known to use the Christmas themed noise maker, so VAC? Sniper is allowed to use it too.
Also a shotout to IDGCaptainRussia94 for helping me doing that taunt.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instruction for adding your own sprays.

You can add your own sprays to VAC? Sniper. This isn't a very easy process and requires a few things.

- An image editor like GIMP.
- Fighter Factory.

1) Download a random picture on the Internet. (Bruh !)
2) Resize the picture to something reasonable.  200p on both sides is a suggested maximum. The option to resize the picture proportionally could be very useful.
3) Surround the picture with a blank rectangle around it, then fill it with a color of your choice.
This is your transparency color and it is very important. If you want to do so to a fully transparent picture, you can
simply fill the blank with this color.
4) Index the picture (On GIMP, go to Index, - Mode - Indexed) and make the transparency color as the very first one on the top left.
(Color - Map - Set Color Map on GIMP)
5) Save the picture as a .png.

If done right, the picture should look like those in the Example Sprays folder.

Now, open Fighter Factory (I use FF3) and do the following

1) Look up in Sprite and search for Group 1000,0
2) Replace the TF2 logo with the picture you have made. Click on the Red X on Group 1000,0 to delete it. 
Then click on the white page with pcx opn it. Select the picture you have made and save it as Group 1000,0.
Make it centered by clicking on the centered blue X on Axis.

Congrats ! You have added a spray on VAC? Sniper. More things can be found by looking at spray.st.

Special Rick May part

We all know this happened. The entire TF2 community felt very sad to his death and I do so. He bring voices to one of the most psychotic character in TF2, that got used in many many
GMOD and SFM videos. All I have to say is, thank you for voicing a legendary character in a legendary game. Happy that Valve and tha players acknowledge this, by putting statues of the Soldier
in official maps for the month of May and having players actually going as Soldiers, doing truces and paying homage to the voice actor around the statue.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small disclaimer

Even if the character received updates, Rick May's death and tacobot.tf will never be referenced in this character.
