    Disclaimer: These are the views of various members of the Half-Life2.net community and do not necessarily represent an 'official' HL2.net endorement. The problem Lots of Team Fortress 2 servers are giving false player numbers and there are increasingly less servers where a player can find a...

    Interview with Portal Prelude's Nicholas

    Ha-har! My foreign languages degree comes in useful at last! I hope you didn't speak too fast in French or it will be harder to translate it into English and other languages. P.S. The calendar image link is b0rked.

    Space trading game

    Ambitious project is ambitious, and probably too much so. First off, why XNA, and what limitations do games made with XNA have? Can XNA games de distributed freely, and on what platforms, and via which distro format? If you make this game, you're probably going to want to let people play it...

    Spies: What's your favorite prey?

    I think it must be psychological that it does more damage because when I aim for the head they always go down easy! ;)

    Servers giving fake player numbers?

    Ideal in principal, but so many servers fill their vote options with crap custom maps (as opposed to the good custom maps that should be getting the attention). This whole issue of scarcity of good servers gives me an idea, which I'll get round to this weekend hopefully.

    Where do I put a custom uber sound?

    You need to find the sound file that TF2 uses for the normal uber, make a backup of this original, and replace it with your file re-named to the name of the original sound file. When you want to go back to using the original sound effect, do the same steps but replace your custom sound with the...

    Spies: What's your favorite prey?

    Very close call between Sniper and Medic. If Ubered Medic had been an option that would definitely be top for me. There's nothing more satisfying that hearing that electro-sizzle fizzle out in an instant. As it is, I play on servers where some of the Snipers are hideously twitch, so it's...

    Servers giving fake player numbers?

    Well it's reassuring to hear I'm not the only one, but annoying to hear everyone's having the same problem. As for so few vanilla servers (fastrespawn and 1-to-3 map mapcycles are what most piss me off most), I am just perplexed that so many people prefer these game modes. Either that or...

    Servers giving fake player numbers?

    Just recently I've been finding it impossible to find a good server (vanilla respawn, crits on or off, no crappy custom sounds, a proper map cycle consisting of more than 3 levels) if the ones I normally go on are empty. First off, why the hell are there so many shitty fastrespawn servers all...

    Gameplay Issue

    Not neccessarily due to a pirated version. It could be the files are corrupt for any other reason (fragmented files, corrupted files due to a virus, corrupted or missing files due to a really bad copy/paste job by the end-user between harddrives or some other erratic end-user behaviour), but...

    What ever happened to Incoming Source?

    No, he saying that he thinks those screens could not be in-game because it would mean they would have had to implement depth of field to their player view, which isn't a default componant of Source so would need to be custom-made.

    You can make this idea work if you actually put some effort into it, but nobody is going to give you pointers on how to use a search engine.

    In the help for mapping

    Good to see you're still working on this. It shows dedication and if you keep it up you may eventually have something that rivals what most people use.

    Firearms|Source: Aug 20 Update, New team members weapons, status update, screens.

    Yeah I would advise in each newspost you add a little line along the lines of "The only sanctioned Source recreation of the popular mod for the original Half-Life." There is still a lot of confusion over 'who the bad guys are'.

    Level Design Survey

    Well even if the trend seems to indicate this, the way the data was collected does not empirically prove this. It's just an observation, not a personal attack. I understand if this was a limitation of the polling system used, as opposed to the questions, but it wouldn't be impossible to at least...

    Someone has "proof" I'm hacking

    It depends a lot on your connection. High speed actions can get 'distorted' when your PC has to communicate with the server to say when you pressed fire and the server also has to check exactly where the other player was. There will always be discrepancies between what you saw happen on your...

    Level Design Survey

    This highlights a loophole in the Survey format. If the total number of respondants was 1004, how can 812 say one element is the most important and more than double the remainder say that another element is the 'most' important. This is because multiple choice was allowed, which should never be...

    Decadence Mod Surges On

    It's right to applaud ~100% custom content mods but you're only narrowing the amount of enjoyment to be had if you're going to expect that from all mods. If all mods went for 100% custom even less would ever see the light of day. Also please note that this mod is made by students working in...
