I've added an explanation on how a player can "receive" multiple items/drops (shown on the hud as multiple "has found"). I would be thinking of a way to make the explanation a lot clearer (I'm unsatisfied at the current state). -- [[User:ShunyValdez|ShunyValdez]] 15:55, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

==Under what conditions will you ''not'' receive item drops?==

== How about a list of every tool that *can* drop? ==
The information I have been able to find is old, and sometimes contradictory. I was hoping to find the answers here, on the wiki, but no mention is made in this article. Do you still have to be signed into the friends system to receive item drops? If you do not, when did this change take place? Lastly, can you receive drops in training mode, offline practice, or by creating a private LAN or internet server?
 
  
If somebody can find this information, I feel it would be a great addition to the article, for people like myself who haven't followed the system very closely. --[[User:Shackanaw|Shackanaw]] 08:32, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Especially since I cannot tell if the summer claim check drops or not, conflicting info.
:I'll answer what I do know: You can receive drops in a private LAN server (I get items all the time while tr_walkway'ing), and I assume offline practice/training mode is exactly the same as that (only a different map). As for your other question, I don't know D: — [[User:WindPower|WindPower]] 08:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

::I received an item drop in offline practice while I was not signed into my friends list, so those two are answered. However, I still do not know ''when'' they made it so you do not have to be signed into the Steam Community. --[[User:Shackanaw|Shackanaw]] 01:08, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

It seems to be unnecessarily long, and doesn't add more to the generalized discussion than just indicating that items drop from earning achievements in addition to randomly.

"Despite the new systems Idling still exists, however it is now possible using the offline mode (use of the -textmode game launch parameter combined with -novid and -nosound to disable video and audio processing respectively) leaving server providers free to provide a gaming experience."
 
 
 
-novid just disables the intro video, it would seem to be -textmode that actually disables video.  I don't use -textmode though so I'll let someone else who knows more fix it...
