Anyway, more to the point, because of something phantom said about hl being one of the first.. well, no. Quake. I'll bring up quake any day of the week. From what I know/remember, the majority (or at least, a large chunk.. robin with tf, yahn with BSP, steve used to run a quake modding site (he even helped me with some stuff back in the day for quake, thanks steve!) of valve are/were all Quake Modders. It isn't because its written in c/c++ that the mod community is so big; its BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT IT. I've yet to see another retail game where the TEAM sets up a coding mailing list, and other forms of communication to keep community interaction with their project. HL could have had its own variation on QuakeC, and I'm willing to bet it still would have risen to the top. Sure, it may not have lasted AS long, with so many things being recycled, it's the fact that valve has always supported the mod community, being modders themselves that put them to the top. >From what I've seen, even if hl2 used a scripting language, I'd STILL mod for it, unlike unreal. I just don't see the support aspect there. omega Blackened Interactive - http://www.blackened-interactive.com Wavelength - http://www.thewavelength.net > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony "omega" Sergi > Sent: May 26, 2003 11:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [hlcoders] c++ vs. scripts > > No other game has counter-strike, and people wanting to clone it either. > No other game has a huge following that thinks CS *IS* the engine, and > that > they want to mod it. > > I just felt like throwing this in for no real reason.
