there is a xp 3000+ ..dunno whether it's mp capable. usually you have to buy the mp 3000+ not xp. the graphics card..well..i'd have bought an ati. and who needs 4 hds, when you can have like 0.5 terrabyte for the price of the 4 36gig 15000 rpm hds?
the tuts are a nice idea ;) but does anyone here really use them? no offense to the author but i havent seen someone who actually is learning c++ with these tutorials :|
another idea. not for the mod, basically some artwork. draw some things like weapons, or your ideas for stunt vehicles/equipment. that'st the first thing i start mapping with ;) usually i use my french lessons for planing buildings, bridges..even whole layouts for maps. a pitty that i got rid of...
nice..the first forum ever where i see americans speaking freely about what they don't like. no "woah stop bashing the us..we are 1337..u aren't"
for the 9/11 issue, there are many unanswered questions. i even saw some "proof" that there was no plane which hit the pentagon, but somethign...
<-- still learning to code c++ ..the winapi is kinda difficult ;). gotta get the level editor too :D. last time i made maps for hl was for day of defeat. then i made bf1942 maps O_o. so i doubt i'd be of any use atm.
well..ok, now it sounds interesting ;). but maybe a kinda "deathmatch" would be cool, also? everyone tries to make the best stunts and gets better weapons/equipment this way.
maybe you should consider this as a sp mod? the idea sounds cool, but i think there arent many ppl who wan't to compete by making stunts and not touching/shooting each other. that's not y they are going to buy hl2 ;)
nice cars but way too many japanese rice cookers :p..the cars not the ppl. what about some porsches? (2000 911 turbo, 959, 928 gt etc) or some ferraris, lamborghinis, saleens..some more muscle cars would be nice, too :D. but i like the idea..something like nfs : unleashed.
i already got 1 gig ram. im gonna buy a new graphics card, too. i even switch from nvidia to ati ;). i currently have an gf4 ti4200 64mb ram. it's still ok, but the fx series are a joke ..
depends on what you wanna achieve. sure there are some packages which allow you to put some 2d or 3d games together with dx7 quality. ut the engine and most of the stuff is already predefined and they're more for learning purposes. if you want to put a "real" game together you need to be able to...
atm steam is still beta and a test until hl2 is released. by that time it should be stable enough.
i won't buy any mod when i can have a similar one for free. i doubt even ppl who make mods at the level of cs, dod and so on want ppl to pay for them. they don't make the mods for getting paid...
even with a fast pc it tends to lag with high r_speeds above 2000 i think (tested it on my pc). it's not the hardware but the engine. and honestly i havent seen any official map for mods going higher than 1000-1500
there are some more differences, java can be ported, while windoze specific programs in c++ (winapi) can't be ported that easy. but java lacks several things like you if you make 2 or 3 classes out of the last class it's variables and methods won't be implented into the new classes. in c++ every...
i had the same problem. i sat there wrinting little calculators or programs which swapped variables but couldn't get further. until my computer science teacher tought me that it isn't important to know al thesse methods, class definitions etc.. by heart but that you first think really clearly...
