Re: [hlcoders] TriApi + OpenGl + nVidia = BAD ????
I found a way to get aroud this bug... If I turn the Render Mode of my func_wall to Solid, my rain works ;) But... :-( I don(t know how to explain this, I attach a screen ;) On the screenshot, the block is BEHIND the rain poly which is underlined !!!.

Re: [hlcoders] [OT] question to valve, curious
I asked this question years ago right after HL was released. The whole reason i wanted HL was because of most of what i saw in the demos that never made it in the game. I asked if they would concider releasing the old maps, monsters and other various stuff as kinda like an SDK addon. The answer i got was no. ~Biggs - Original Message - From: Andrew Foss To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 12:59 AM Subject: [hlcoders] [OT] question to valve, curious I was digging around in my old CD's box, when I came upon a diamond viper driver disc. it contained a Half-life trailer. upon watching it, I noticed some cool bits. almost all the monsters in the demo are not seen in the game. (the models still exist) there are also a bunch of maps that didn't make the cut. Datacore is an example, it was originally a singleplayer map. My question is this: Since HL is actually HL2, because a lot of code, maps, textures, and models were cut/not in the final game, do you still have any of the old stuff laying around, and B: would you consider releasing any of it? I would love to see the original maps, because they look pretty cool. also, does the smelling gibs code work? can the mosters smell out the stinky bodies? :) --cannibal

Has anybody seen documentation on pushable objects in HL ala Unreal Tournament? I figure that it could work by making a new item that when used it tries to move away from your forward vector but not having to 'use' it would be preferred. Any ideas? -loco3d __ Do You Yahoo!?
