I might add to this while I'm at it, to look at that forum regarding Visual C++ Express 2005 (there is a link under the topic about this compiler).
I've gotten the release version to successfully compile at least. Got a memory could not be read error after I quit though, dunno why. Wonder why...
But... Is either of those unique or original? The first is a stupid version of CS (and we've seen similar mods, like Monkey-Strike or whatever its called, lol) and the second is like Carmageddon on a horse.
You dont have to fear people taking your ideas: They have most likely already been...
Make each material have an ID, and dont stop the bullet dependant on ID and bullet power.
Of course, that probably translates to 1000 lines of code or something :D
I sing all the time.
Chants to the allmighty Goddess Pixel mostly.
Know those elves in LOTR, when they sing? That's what I sing when my CDR's come out of drive, dead and unreadable... I burn them in a ceremonial burial.
Then I'm knocked out for a few days cause I inhale too much smoke.
Break into valves office, steal one of the programmers, and then force him to write all of the CSS down.
If he refuse, threaten to compile his family... USING A NON MICROSOFT PRODUCT!!!
Thief is an action game now???
And once again Joint Operations remain the underdog of multiplayer gaming... There must be so many BF style games supporting 150 player per server its just one in the crowd :sleep:

I wonder if microsoft themselves will look into updating the Visual C++ Express 2005 Beta version to support HL2, as says, and I quote:
New and experienced C++ developers alike will find that Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition delivers the tools and libraries...
Neither do I. 2000mb avg a month? Today I've tanked down 1.5gig... Yesterday it was 800mb. And a couple of days before that it was another 700mb. So I go over that, lol. 250 per month... I think its about right for me too.
That probably wont be any problem... Most of it is copy and paste, especially if we are talking "conventional" weaponry, like the ones already in HL2.
Regarding the scope of the mod in general and the "work it entails", its all about how you want it to be recieved.
If you want thousands...
Regarding the ghosting:
New LCDs keep this at a minimum... 16ms or less is a neccessity. It HIGHLY depends on the game though, when you start getting those "bad" colors that take longer to update, even a 16ms screen cant keep up. But even though I've had my LCD for like 7 months now (my old 21"...
Bah! Checked out special achievements and best multiplayer... No Joint Operations. Does anyone see another 150 player BF style multiplayer game out there? Anyone?
Uhm, no... Since no one will want to play it again and what you see now is as much glory as there is. A game based on the Doom III engine in about 2-3 years, THAT will be beauty... Then again, UE3 will probably beat the snot out of it ;)
Microsoft want global control, that's how it is.
Play how we tell you to play.
Download what we tell you download.
Or else we'll reinstall Windows 95 on your computer, BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
But the thing is that the Xbox is already a PC, you just dont have access to it. There is a...
Doom III actually looks like that even if you got a 6800 Ultra in SLI mode on a 5ghzer.
But its not like there is much choice... Graphics card today CAN NOT HANDLE Doom III rendering style at Max Payne 2 quality levels, no matter how "nice" it is. There's simply not enough memory nor speed...
