RE: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update
Oh no, not this: Equipping the silencer is canceled if the player switches weapons Now i cant put my silencer on in a twitch and run from spawn all the way with a split second advantage... :/ that is when you have a freeze time less then 2 (or so) seconds (For those that don't know, you run faster with your knife in your hand, than with an m4) Now I have to guess when the sequence has finished... just like with reloading the m4, the animation is finished, but still cant shoot for about an half second (which is a eternity if you have a opponent shooting at you) ive been killed because of that stupid last half second too many times!! I guess I really have to make a pistol switch script now. By the way, it is rather funny seeing someone doing some sort of sequence (weapon pointing all over the place) and firing at me, and actually hitting me. (ask me for details if you don't know what in talking about) Oh well, I guess this update has _some_ advantages ;) Thanks Alfred Micha Vermeer -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 3:40 AM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com; hlds@list.valvesoftware.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds] Counter-Strike: Source update We have released an update to Counter-Strike: Source.

RE: [hlds] What the hell happened to hlds_proc.
Actually he (Rob) just surfaced the other day on a certain forum after a long disappearance. He'd been (still is) sucked up by the borg of real life and a couple of moves. v2 the first version of v3 had no timebombs, later builds I believe all did. If I chat with him I ask him if he's still got the source laying around and if he'd not mind publishing it. (if he still has it I doubt he'd mind doing that), but he has a habit of blowing away his systems every few months only to realise he just toasted sourcecode he needed..(doh!) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mick Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 2:26 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] What the hell happened to hlds_proc.

[hlds] SRCDS - Console vs. GUI
Mr. Reynolds, Is there any appreciable/performance difference (other than personal preferance) with regard to running SRCDS with -console or letting it default to GUI?

RE: [hlds] SRCDS - Console vs. GUI
We use the GUI internally. It is slightly more expensive (it must blit to the screen rather than using native win32 console functions) but on any modern CPU the difference will be negligible. The GUI gives you better visualization of your servers state (especially with the budget panel turned on), the console lets you do things like run the server inside programs like gamehost. - Alfred -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bud Ingram Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 6:06 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] SRCDS - Console vs. GUI Mr. Reynolds, Is there any appreciable/performance difference (other than personal preferance) with regard to running SRCDS with -console or letting it default to GUI?

Innocent people will be banned, but I don't care. I will look them up on my stats, and if they have a large numbe of kills, indicating they value playing on my servers, then I won't ban them.
