Hi Eric,
Sorry, at the time I had full intention of getting back into things, but
life had other plans and I had a beautiful daughter instead. She will
one day play CS, just not yet :)
So far, I have gotten most of my answers from the CS2Fixes and
AlliedModders guys, but wow, was I let down. You guys literally took
away most of the fun stuff we could do and that players enjoyed. I get
it, ranked is a thing, cash needs to flow in, but we used to do these
things in insecure mode for fun, and it was one of the single best
things CS ever had going for it. Random CS fun servers made people's
adolescence. They still talk about it today like it's something that
shaped them.
It's shocking you took it all away when it really wouldn't have had such
an impact if left to insecure and fun server types in a way that made
sure it was separate.
So, anyway, the current question is: do you intend to ever implement or
expose more interactive client features to the engine? For instance,
currently, there is no way to display anything longer than a chat
message to the client; there are some hacky ways to use WorldText and
set the player as the parent, but it's horrendous. To me, it's one of
the biggest things missing (apart from all the regular stuff everyone
had to work backwards to solve). Are there plans to extend some of the
previous ways we had of making CS fun for players when they wanted a
break from just plain ol' CS?
When we look at the world of games in 2025, most of them are adding
*more* support for modding and adapting, but CS went the opposite way
entirely, and I'm just out of words to describe how let down I am by
that. Just look at Vortex and NexusMods!
Thanks for replying, though. I appreciate it. I know this list has gone
through some iterations, and the current one is probably the lowest I've
seen in 20 years.
Cheers,
Jay/c0ldfyr3

Hi.
I'm a little out of touch. I'm c0ldfyr3, original author of CS:S
ZombieMod. I've just gotten back into modding and noticed it seems to
not be an avenue we can take as a MetaMod plugin? Is that true? Do you
simply not want us to do that anymore?
Thanks,
Jay/c0ld
