Re: [hlcoders] Array of Arrays as network variable?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] It doesn't even matter whether or not the client must see the other clips. As long as it's not selected (= currently networked) it won't be changed as well - right? So we can just leave an old value at the client and show it forever, since it won't be outdated, unless the player switches to that clip (which would cause it to be updated again anyways). Kind of a 'cache' at the client. On 7/16/07, Garry Newman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does the player need to know how much ammo is in all clips for all > ammo types?

Re: [hlcoders] Array of Arrays as network variable?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] He wants to do an ammo system with individual ammunition clips, so for instance one can cycle through all the clips, shoot some bullets using one and then return to a previous one, so there'd be the same amount of bullets in the current one again. But like already mentioned before, it doesn't really make sense in terms of gameplay, and the resulting traffic isn't worth the little feature either.

Re: [hlcoders] FW: [hlds_apps] Half-Life 1/2 master servers
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Talking about external applications, is there anywhere information on that subject? I've always been wondering how to contact the master server and get game details - same would apply to certain other servers, as like HLSW can connect and send commands. Is there any documentation for the communication on the rcon port?
