I know most boards have a script like that built in (invision board has it). I guess some dont. It's a pretty easy hack though. As for site copying, you could atleast give them credit for the code...

Producing CDs and boxes doesnt take 6 weeks, its 2 weeks at max, usualy just 1 though. Even blizzard's blockbuster titles dont take more than a week between gold and release.

Im a leader also and I have to say it is very hard to respect a leader who doesn't actively take part in atleast one part of development apart from design. A good leader is somebody who can get things done quickly and painlessly. You dont have to be a jack of all trades but you have to be able...

I think hype is good not only to show people your mod, but its good for the mod team also. Good comments can really bring up the morale in the team and thats really important. As for forced hype, I dont think its needed. If you submit your news to the HL2 sites and it looks good, people will...

Parallax mapping is a really simple effect, I wrote a shader for it last night in PS2.0 and it runs pretty good even with the software rasterizer (I have a GF4, so no PS2.0 for me :() And parallax mapping does have weird distortions at low angles because the offset becomes almost infinite. If...

To clarify since a lot of people dont seem to understand: Bump Mapping: a technique to make a surface look more geometricly complex than it really is. Uses a grayscale image where white is high and black is low. Normal Mapping (aka Dot-3 Bump Mapping): this is a technique which stores...

What they did to make the anti-hydrogen atoms was slow down the positrons and anti-protons eminating from radioactive objects to a point where they would form an atom of anti-hydrogen. I believe they made 6000 atoms like this. When matter and anti-matter collide 100% of matter is turned into...

Its hyped, but not the Doom 3 type of hyped. If anything I would say its like i've already played doom 3. As for HL2, it generates its own hype, the devs havent really shown us anything apart from Gordon, a scientist's hot daughter, a nice physics engine and the manipulator. Apart from that the...

Thats alot of weapons, dont you guys think its a little excessive at this point

Mine was a Tetris clone written in java, looking back, the code was horrible but it worked and it had a MIDI player too :P. The last thing I added was a score counter

Well I dunno why im doing this but here is a cleaner version: int main(void) { int guess; int number=50; // random number is in the math.h file I think, not sure though cout << "Guess the number\n"; cin >> guess; // you could prolly find a way to incorporate the first guess into the...

The Eternal Silence mod, a space modification for the source engine (www.eternal-silence.net) Is currently looking to fill positions in animation and programming. Previous experience is required and courses or training in any of these fields is a big bonus. Animators must be able to make...

Let me do it for you: Vann, clearly you dont understand what a normal is. A normal is a vector used by the rendering engine (it is usualy perpendicular to the polygon, except in normal maps it varies because of the map) so it knows which way this polygon is facing and how much light it should...

Im 99% sure you are learning managed C++ which is with the .Net framework and slower than vanilla C++. The reason im not 100% is because i've never used it so it could just be a different C++ lib from the std one (which would be weird). Anyways, managed is not what you want for HL2

Well not really, it doesnt take a month to print CDs, most games do it in a week, blizzard does it in a week. Theres no reason for it to take a month, so if it went gold on the 17th theres no reason they couldn't make the 24th

No idea, didnt see anything about it here so I just posted it.

HL2 is funded 100% by valve remember... they're all millionnaires now.

I wasnt going to buy CZ anyways, it looks like crap and CS is really old now... CZ was just a sub-par sequel made to cash in on the success of the original... kind of ironic isnt it...
