Great!
Cliffe could you tell us if and when Faceposer will be released?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Awesome, also is there an mdl decompiler in the works?

Keep up the good work

These guys deliver the news to our very own back doors even though their program would make sure we received the new content anyway!

Brilliant

Damn it, I was just going to go on to a server and throw the RPG away (into the window opposite) so no one could use it

I played it a few seconds ago... something weird happend:
I got low on health, but no medi kit nor armor would recover any health/armor :|

I will test a bit now.

EDIT 1: It's working when I'm the server, perhaps I was playing on a not updated server. Did the DS get an update or just clients?
EDIT 2: Tested it again online, I coudn't recover any health nor armor thru the packs lying around.
