If I wanted to make a reflective floor, what would be the best way to go about doing it in Source? A) Create a new shader similar to the reflective/refractive water surface, which reflects and diffuses light from the rest of the room, and apply it to the floor. B) Mirror the room...

The most important part is that he implies a September 30th release date.

Good job! But the link to the left of the screen <<< still doesn't point to it.

Valve would need to do it. Only they have access to the original .rmf's. (Except for the two beginning ones that came with the SDK)

I don't want to start another OS war, I just want to comment on this. Yes, Linux has become sort of an underground fad. People use it instead of Windows to assert their internet status quo. Great...lets move on. I happen to have a seething hate for Microsoft. There's no doubt that theyre...

Oh -- and will mods be distributable outside of steam? Could I distribute my mod in .zip/.rar/self-installer format over fileplanet, or do I have to use the content servers of Steam? How extensive will the filesharing aspects of Steam work in this sense, would team members of a mod who live in...

Here are two topics which I dont think have been elaborated on by Valve as of yet: A) The way the HL1 hull worked assumed that the player was as wide forward to back as he was left to right. Thus, going prone as it allows you to do in DOD The Specialists meant that the player was not as wide...

In that case, simply emulating the battle type of FF7 in a multiplayer aspect would be great fun. However, implementation is the key. For example, what items do I have when I enter the server? In FF7 your items are the result of hours upon hours worth of playing. However, internet game sessions...

Hello SIN55! I was actually talking in #wavelength (gamesnet) about the possiblity of an FF7 mod. I would actually love to see FF7 redone in 3d, in an engine like Source. However, there are a number of major shortcomings with a plan like that. IF Squaresoft agrees to it, the game would...

A zombie and a headcrab walk into a bar. They both die. Gordon Freeman wins. :D

It's easier to call Wine an emulator, as it's much more difficult to call it a low-level wrapper for the Windows API. We know that it doesn't emulate. Moving on to more relevant topics, if you would read the entire thread, you would see the list of games for Linux include all of the Quakes, all...

Valve being smart or not smart enough to listen to us is not an issue. The issue is that Gabe Newell himself worked for Microsoft for 13 years. He was paid by M$ to develop for M$ for a good chunk of his life. Chances are that Gabe Newell is a M$ supporter. After all, why else would he take a...

Back on topic, I have to disagree with everyone who thinks that the HL2 bullets are hitscan. Unless they've changed it since they made the traptown video. If you look in traptown, you can clearly see these white streaks of light (which is supposed to represent a bullet, I suppose) zooming past...
