Cool article but this has what to do with server administration? On Sat, 2009-04-11 at 09:47 +0100, Philip Bembridge wrote: Interesting post on the HLmappers mailing list :-) Phil 2009/4/5 Nathan Voge hl2fr...@msn.com I just thought I would throw up this quote from a Gamasutra article on The Cabal: Valve’s Design Process For Creating Half-Life found at http://www.gamasutra.com/features/19991210/birdwell_01.htm [ No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Until the Cabal process got underway, technology was added to Half-Life freely. It was assumed that if we build it, they will come, meaning that any new technology would just naturally find a creative use by the content creation folks. A prime example of this fallacy was our beam effect, basically a technique for doing highly tunable squiggly glowing lines between two points; stuff like lightning, lasers, and mysterious glowing beams of energy. It was added to the engine, the parameters were exposed, and an e-mail was sent out explaining it. The result was … nothing. After two months only one level designer had put it in a map. Engineering was baffled. During the Cabal process, we realized that although the level designers knew of the feature, they really had no clear idea of what it was for. The parameters were all very cryptic, and the wrong combinations would cause the beams to have very ugly-looking effects. There were no decent textures to apply to them, and setting them up was a bit of a mystery. It became very clear the technology itself was only a small part of the work and integration, training, and follow-through were absolutely necessary to make the technology useful to the game. Writing the code was typically less than half the problem. ] It still seems that this problem is still around Source modding, mapping,... The technology is there to do almost anything we want, but we still have to search and trial and error for hours to achieve it. I'm speaking as someone who has left and returned to many of my maps over and over again because I don't have the time for another full time job - and that is what it currently takes to make sense of it all. I'm only posting this because the L4D SDK is on the horizon and I'd love to get my ideas into maps without having to reverse engineer maps (I talk here about the complex example maps that are sometimes included in the SDKs and not decompiled maps), or trial and error (guess) what entities work together, or have to wait/search for community tutorials. Please improve this drastically with the next SDK release.
