hm, there might be something in the css update

[ktimekiller]

ok, afer u get the css update, there is a sound cache dowloadin, maybe this is another clue for the test?

 

[ShinRa]

did we need a thread before we even found anything?

 

[ktimekiller]

um, i just wanted to inform u guys that the update for css might have been something about the test, after all, the sound cache loading is kinda weird

 

[gatts666]

i think so to, once i finished downloading the UPDATE i run the game, now before it puts the cs:s screen it needs to do some PRECACHIN or sumting like that, so im waiting while it READIES CS:S while its doing that, i look at the files its toying with and i see files or things like GORDON, ELI, DOG and so on, its going so fast i can barely see stuff but i caught some stuff like DOG and many more... whats this about i have no idea

[MultiVaC]

Yeah, it's true. It was doing something with sound files, I recognized lots of HL2 references.

now thats what i am talking about, something suspisious was going on with the update, perhaps something to do with teh second test

 

[gatts666]

let me explain this better lol,
i was updating my CS:S with the new update that was out today.
once i finished updating my cs:s. i started CS:S to go play.
so since there was a new patch, the game was updating some stuff after the new update. so i was waiting so i could get the CS:S screen to chose FIND GAMES AND ALL.
but while i was waiting on the bar to fill up u know with the yellow boxes, this time it was GREY.
so yeah its updating files alright but non of em has anything to do with CS:S cuz i saw names like gordon, alyx, breen, DOG???
eli and lots more files or sumting.

it was like SCANING you know how files go super fast and u can barely see the names well it was doing the same thing, like precaching something. but the files were going so fast but i caught some stuff about hl2.... i have no idea if this has anything to do with it.

 

[ShinRa]

idk i think people are reading way too much into these tests. just imo.

 

[Shuzer]

This is the most ridiculous topic I've ever read..

The sound cache was either A) for the new CS:S sounds or B) a mutal sound cache update for both CS:S and HL2. It has nothing to do with these "tests" VALVe is putting forth, as thus far, the tests have been crappy (or, atleast the rewards).

this is important for us

 

[cadaveca]

anybody else have a firewall that tells them HL2 in trying to connecto to the internet when starting CS:S?

this is important for us

for us? uve been here for about half the time i have. i was here during the leak, during the delay, from the beginning since that first damn picture of the crowbar with letters "its back" or whatever it said. dont talk to me about it being important to u, when all i said was ur reading too much into these tests. valves got better shit to do than sit around and make 100 tests for us. the sooner u realize they arent focusing all their time into us completing a test, the faster we'll have less threads like this one that will, more than likely, end with no results, wasted time, or a mod locking it.

 

[ktimekiller]

i dont tihnk its a waste of time

 

[gatts666]

but yes i just finished updating Counter-strike source, run it, and its doing precachin stuff, while its doing that, u see names like DOG, ALYX BREEN GORDON but its going so fast i missed alot of em

maybe there might be some kind of password there

 

[ShinRa]

/me puts $20 on the table

bet you this thread ends with "guys, theres nothing here, its just an update" or something along those lines

 

[gatts666]

i dint say it had anything to do with the tests, BUT i did see those file when CS:S was precaching and getting ready to start the game into the cs:s menu
why those files were shown in CS:S?? i have no clue

 

[Organizer]

I saw the words: combine, citatdel, alyx, dog, headcrab, zombie.
I think it was about 150 sounds or so, but it was going so damn fast it was hard to see.

 

[Petabyte]

Take print screens people

 

[Chris D]

Ughhh, this is getting painfull.

 

[Spiffae]

guys, theres nothing here, its just an update

 

[gatts666]

HAH told you i wasnt crazy when seeing those go by, but what it is dunno maybe some tips, they tried slipping the NEW TEST stuff on the CS:S update thinking people would no notice maybe?

So you're 1337 or something, just because you've been her since JFK was shot does this give you some kind of "special" right to respond with a post like this.....? He was just a posting what he thought was interesting, you can choose to completely ignore it and IF it needs to be closed I think a mod will handle it, no need to troll. :smoking:

 

[Petabyte]

I doubt its really anything. I don't care about this "second test" thing. all I care about are the images and secret stuff other people find.

 

[Wraith]

if you guys really care, you could try this.

delete local game content. preload it again. then run fraps and run css, look through the video frame by frame. i hope osmeone does this becuase itll be interesting (i doubt its another test though, just a way for them to try and sneak a hl2 update by us)

 

[gatts666]

im on it redownloading it and gona frap it

 

[A.I.]

I think you're all a bit paranoid, you know.

 

[gatts666]

maybe mate, but its that or think about how gabe is a ....

 

[Wraith]

i really realyl doubt theres anything in there, i am just interested to see what filenames we can get. gatts666, do you have a fast processor so you can get a nice framerate with fraps? and also fraps full version so you can do fullscreen? if not pm me i have a solution

 

[gatts666]

i canot send private messages since ive not been member for more than 5 days

 

[gatts666]

and my FRAPS is the crapy free version lol

 

[Asuka]

did we need a thread before we even found anything?

Agreed.

 

[Jackal hit]

i bet it's just an update, and they wanted to add hl2 content in with it. maybe some special loading for people in the beta to take strain off of the next preload? i think it's clutching at air to think this has anything to do with a test. it'd be interesting to know what/how many hl2 files got loaded though.
