I'm trying to stay unhyped, or I'm gonna start getting obsessive and counting the days and generally acting like a kid before Christmas.

Importing things into the GCF files is impossible, sorry.

All you have to do is copy and paste the folder, and delete the clientregistry.blob file, and all will be fine.

Hugh_Jazz, you can use a Visa Electron on Steam, i've used mine plenty of times.

Heh, no problem. I enjoy programming stuff and little projects like this just give me a good excuse to!

It still sucks that they've worked hard on this and it's been released prematurely. It's not the financial damage or anything it did Valve or the BMS team (which is none) it's just the horrible feeling of pouring your heart and soul into something and seeing it be treated that way and seen...

Forgot to mention, you'll need to re-save the spreadsheet as a .csv, comma seperated/delimited values. I was doing it far too quickly to consider trying to import .xls files!

Ok, done. http://aiusepsi.hobby-site.com/Chris_D/ Open the link in IE, the install will flake out in Firefox. If you need anything changing just give me a bell.

Ok, assuming you just want the page printed, can you give me some information about the layout of the data on the spreadsheet? I should be able to rattle this off tonight, in C#. You'll need the .net framework v2.0 installed. If you have the latest version of GCFScape you'll already have it.

By print, you mean get internet explorer to dump the the page out to a printer? We're not talking about pressing a button on the page or anything like that?

It's not the first time Valve have missed a release date and it certainly won't be the last. Maybe once Episode One is out they'll have time to give the SDK some love.

Microsoft Visual C# Express. Seriously. It's free forever, it's a stonking IDE, and you'll barely notice the features that it's lacking from the full Visual Studio. If you happen to hate Microsoft though, you can try out Mono. They're both as good as the other, and if you're careful (i.e...

I don't think it strictly has to, but Valve likes keeping their singleplayer and multiplayer game codebases seperate. Otherwise if say, HL2DM was built into HL2, adding the SLAM would entail adding it to single-player HL2 as well, and there's a risk of breaking it.

It's possible that Valve are working on bits of advanced graphics technology right now for Source that are above and beyond anything we've yet seen, just keeping it strictly under wraps until it's ready for prime-time.

That's really bad that BF2 does that. It's supposed to be realistic and you've got people wearing the red cross fighting and being shot at, both violations of the Geneva Convention. That's really bad!

Actually, the symbol of first aid is a white cross on a green background, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_aid for examples of that and another one. The red cross isn't a generic symbol of healthcare.

Well, right now I think it's around 10 am in Seattle where Valve are. The preload isn't going to start for a few hours at least. It'll probably be early tomorrow morning for you.

Even if the file is real, without the license it's useless, and you can't get that without having spyware stuck onto your system by that site. Just delete it.

Yeh, the guts of most engines are pretty similar because mathematically and algorithmically there's generally only one best way to do things! From personal experience it's very easy to write code that whilst object-orientated, is also the most non-modular garbage you have ever seen in your...

Exactly, who knows what deep in Valve's Source engine labs they might be working on as we speak. They're going to have their eyes on the future. Things like DoF, Colour correction, etc. etc. are already done and finished and in the engine, and at least with the Colour correction, already...
