    Ridicolously long loading times.

    could very well be the pirated version didn't have the content compressed into gcf's

    So what's "Aftermath" called?

    on a similar topic, i will never call it Windows Vista...

    2d block transfer / generic bitblt

    Yeah, I'll probably end up doing that in the end. I have a few ideas for ways i can speed things up. Cache hits/misses may wind up being pretty important. As a general question, what is the best way to go about a 2d block transfer anyways? Or in otherwords, what is the underlying...

    2d block transfer / generic bitblt

    Perhaps this is a simple question, but I have a 1D int array which contains a 2D matrix (why use 2d arrays when you can use macros to access the data). This matrix is actually an image with in 32 bit RGBx format, that is returned from the firewire image grabber as part of a larger struct. I...

    Resistance and Liberation News

    right but once again, as a real soldier, you have knowledge about your current state of health, and how much ammo you have left clipped to your belt, unless you can look down and count your ammo, or feel your characters pain, then i fail to see how losing a hud would benifit gameplay at all. Its...

    Resistance and Liberation News

    Its realistic, but not practical. In Real life, you have pain which tells you how close you are to dying, when you've been shot, etc. You can look down and see your spleen oozing out, and say to yourself, wow, that sucks, won't be walking much longer. There needs to be a feedback mechanism to...

    Resistance and Liberation News

    why in the world would anyone post jpg's for screenshots of anything, let alone ones with that much compression. PNG's people.... PNG. Besides that, its an interesting aproach to FPS, but it would surprise me if the lack of HUD makes sense in the long run. dam

    Chess

    Given that every programming assignment I've had all throughout undergrad has been piss easy, I'd say that the computer opponent is not required, though it may be extra credit. Then again I could be wrong, its just Chess is one of those games with a massive number of playable games, and thus you...

    My love to valve, you shaped my life

    While you might be happy, it doesn't mean that it is healthy. Someone made a reference to heroin making you happy, and therefore by your definition that would make it ok... How many of the preceding would you consider to be at least partially true? Adam

    Swapping C-Strings

    Couldn't you just use strcpy for this? seems it would do the trick. [edit] To clarify: void swap(char *a, char *b) { char *t; strcpy(t,a); strcpy(a,b); strcpy(b,t); }

    Aftermath AI

    don't forget reloading on the run... i hate when they stand there taking damage while they reload.

    Henkjan, you just need to log in with the same steam account

    Lost Coast ETA Winter 2005

    The high system specs have a lot more to do with the insane level of detail in all the textures and models than with the HDR itself

    Steam

    I don't see what the big deal is... Less than 2% of all steam users have 56k or less. If you are a member of those 2% you can always let it download overnight, but my guess is that it will be released in box form with smaller quantities and or at a later date. Adam

    Killing the Citizen17 NPCs.

    Yes, i was refering the the NPC_Citizen17.cpp one you need to add an OnTakeDamage function for each class you want to damage.

    Killing the Citizen17 NPCs.

    I'm the author of the HL2 Friendly Fire mod which does just that, and then some. It was pretty simple really, the problem is, Valve seems to have put in a lot of blanket checks to make sure they can't take damage from the player. To strictly make them take damage, you need to remove these...

    More Intelligent: HL1 Grunts or HL2 Combine?

    I think its interesting the way valve biased the AI to charge the player simply because it "makes gravity gun fighting more fun." I can understand how they would be pushing the new elements of gameplay, but i felt at times throughout the game that i was using the gravity gun too much... it made...
