sm_fortressblast_event_fools is not a ConVar in Fortress Blast. The myth that such a ConVar was added in version 4.2 is false. It is a common mistake considering there are other event ConVars already in the plugin that have very similar names. There are no April Fools-themed features in Fortress Blast, such as:

  • Super Bounce causing the user to have 300% of their normal gravity, unless Gyrocopter is active, in which case the value having been changed to 75%.
  • Mystery having a roughly 75% chance of selecting Gyrocopter if it is enabled.
  • Magnetism and ULTRA POWERUP!! having their functions reversed, meaning repulsion would be active while any melee weapon is deployed, and attraction would be active with any other weapon.
  • A majority of the powerups having the word 'Super' artificially inserted into their names. This change in particular would be highly impractical if it were to exist
  • The text "Fortress Blast" in the introductory message turning rainbow in color.

Although this ConVar does not exist, if it did it would be set to an integer between 0 and 2, each of which would result in the following:

  • A value of 0 would prevent event features from appearing.
  • A value of 1 would allow event features to appear, but only during the appropriate event period according to Team Fortress 2 (default value).
  • A value of 2 would permanently allow event features to appear, regardless of the date.
