Re: [hlcoders] A very fast novel game based on tf2 sdk, and makin money by sharing freely counterintuitively like billy
Well, the problem isn't that they make stupid sounding games, its just that they don't put enough effort into it, i mean, its always good to start with a good idea, but still, it needs hard work 98% of the time.

Seriously? I find his concerns about the speed of C# on 64 bit machines running under a D3D based interpreter to be highly insightful. And p2p in clients in Source, he may well be pushing the Source engine into a whole new era. Who are you guys to hold back such progressive ideas?

I'm almost certain that it's a bot concatenating a bunch of loosely connected strings to build lenghty mails.

[hlcoders] A very fast novel game based on tf2 sdk, and makin money by sharing freely counterintuitively like billy
just thought of this...one 'new' game based on tf2 might be simply modding
the #s for the user.
One option is increasing hitpoints and decreasing dmg for longer battles
or reducing gun velocity / bullet velocity
perhaps someone could say here how one coudl do that, so if i wanna try tf2
with guns at +1000% dmg for all, or with any other 'easy' changes,
then here we could discuss them, both in pre-theory, and after
implementation and experience with gained info, perhaps my +1000% to all
sounds fun until i try it with bots, or even then until i try it with
players
also same thing but cs source, including mods for guns doing more damage...
also a source mod to break aims and walls...aimbot and wallhack (i got them
on my youtube showin, they break css hard, tf2 less hard, etc)
one option in most games would be indirect rotational controls , such as
using mouse to accelerate instead of set position in directions, thus
capping the rotation speed at any given update to the speed of the previous
update, +- a small amount based on mouse movement, and also gun weight and
injuries
i think that one needs code, how about listing here the layers of ez ->
hard mods, like gun dmg. vs p2p server code ?
also what kinda networking does source sdk use? i was lookin at sockets in
c#, including a style with double .exes for a 'server' that's p2p on each
client, and also programatically simple and generic, accepting 'packets' of
info that may be a users x,y,z location, or maybe an updated model 3d file
or game.exe binary too
along with server sharing / cloning code, so instead of 8 of us playing on
1 server, or 1500 on 1 like wow, the 8 gamers are each running the 'client
p2p server' in addition to the client, which could be something like ms sql
server with its ez networking via c# and ado.netalso any idea if c# is
faster on 64 bits in d3d? seemed faster according to framerate in visual
c++ and c# from ms free versions 2008ishvery similar lingos too, with
c# having less and lpStCZmsOBJ,
instead having nice names like GraphicsDevice and VertexPositionColored,
along with the java/late c++ styles of using namespaces with including,
instead of using files, the 'files' are ignored mostly replaced by
namespace MyNewFile { } around stuff in 1 or more files, can have many
namespaces in 1 file, then can 'using MyNewFile;' to not have to type in
MyNewFile.MyObject, instead just MyObject, also visual c++ , c#, etc, when
you type in MyObject. , on the . it opens a dropdown menu of functions
with popup descriptions, and there's a visual c# and c++ sdk to add on
source sdk support into visual studio in theory at least...
but yeah i think the problem is nobody else is sharing info here, only
asking for it. maybe if we all share a piece of info and form a club here,
we all gain skills and can team up, or perhaps indie win with more xp each,
and if you share 1 piece here, if first lol maybe not your best one, but if
you get 9x after a halfway decent one, perhaps we make a superteam here,
and are friendly enough and sharp enough to all succeed with each other and
sharing, not to try and succeed by only takin and not givin, for others see
and do what you do too
so lotsa asking and no tellin, yet if we 'all' were to write everything we
know here and teach each other, you keep your info forever till ya die can
share it too and each new piece lol, if you share somethin about modeling,
they share somethin about c++, back n forth a few times next thing
everybody involved and participating gets models with code integrated , and
that's the thing that actually is indie dollars.
