Hooray for beating the dead horse over here, but I would think they could explain Gordon's memory loss and stuff of HL1 by saying there was some stuff you did there that you didn't really do in HL1.
...That is: HL1 is what you remember, not what you really did - since you're Gordon...
As stated numerous times in this thread already:
The northern hemisphere's actual, astronomical summer dates are June 21st to September 22nd [Southern hemisphere would be December 21st to...uhh March 22nd or so - but Valve isn't in the southern hemisphere, so pffft]
Although, most game...
Actually I think it would make more sense for most physics calculations to happen client side to cut down on the size of packets being sent. Assuming there's no randomization involved (...such as shooting in CS, where where you see the bullet hit something doesn't mean the server had the bullet...
Unfortunately I've lost my original Half-Life manual (I loved that sketch of the creature that was replaced by the Gargantua, man, that thing was awesome. To bad it was removed). I played the game before I read it though: manuals are for people who need bathroom reading material, or stuff to...
Sure, I just had this problem...
Go to Tools->Internet Options (up above).
Go to the 'Advanced' tab.
In the 'Browsing' section, near the bottom, check the box labelled "Use Passive FTP (for Firewall and DSL modem compatability)"
They're the gamespy videos, which show off HL2 nicely, but...
Me = bad with ftp and IE related stuff. So...what's passive mode?
(I do appreciate the effort though, :D )
[edit]Err, nevermind, retarded internet options, aha! :). Thanks for the site.
[edit2]Well, those are the gamespy ones, so they're nice for people who haven't seen the videos at all...
Just for reference purposes, the summer 'season' begins June 21st and ends September 22nd. Then again, the entertainment business summer 'season' seems to be from May 1st to October 30th-ish.
I don't mean to be the physics nazi over here... Heil Physik! :D ...but:
Centripetal Force = center seeking
Centrifugal Force = center fleeing
In actual Newtonian physics, Centripetal forces and motion do not exist. Nothing physically is drawn to the center of a path of motion. It is just...
From other forums I've seen that the gamespot files look much better than the gamespy files. Maybe there's another movie out there between the two or better than gamespots. So I'll just leech off this thread and ask:
Does anyone know where I can find videos of better quality than fileplanet's?
From my cool post in the stickied thread above:
Doesn't really say it's fixed...but if since they're well aware of it, they're probably trying or have fixed it. Same with some of the other bugs (I think somewhere in the thread is a remark on the richochets through models bug too). They've...
Send it around 10pm yesterday, so it's basically a response in 14 hours...It's awesome - I think some of these haven't been posted yet (think a couple have though) anyway, onto the e-mail:
Hi [UltimaGecko (had my name in there, heh)],
Please see my comments below.
Thanks,
Rick
Valve...
