Re: [hlds_linux] DoD:S update, salivate or sleep?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Well alfred. You missed quite a bit. I'm not going to go in any detail. But lets just say that i decided to go to work after taking a day off because of the server files and everything. So reguardless, i wont be able to preload the server files at all. But please see what you can do. Push the shiny red button to start the server files.

RE: [hlds_linux] DoD:S update, salivate or sleep?
Hey guys, I am just back from a week of lying on the proverbial beach, it will take me a couple days to catch up with the recent goings on (so if you mailed me any problems last week give me some time to respond). - Alfred -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Britt Priddy (PZ) Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 9:47 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] DoD:S update, salivate or sleep?

You forgot the high caffeine beverages :P I don't think Alfred sleeps much! :) They take the time to deal with allot of little things while at the same time maintaining a huge work load.

It's a quarter of 11pm Central Standard time right now, yet hlds does not yet show a DoD:S game as an option. I know Valve has a release date of Monday 5pm CST. I know, if Valve is anything like the companies I've worked for, that developers are busy hammering out bugs and new code and violating three laws of physics just to come up with a miracle fix by release date and they'll patch it later, managers are interrupting them every three to five minutes asking for "status reports" and Gabe is probably chewing on his fingernails at home while scribbling out revisions to a press release he hopes he won't have to make. It's crunch time, at Valve. Everybody knows what it's like. For the server admins, we're standing by ready to update and launch. Should we wait on pins and needles or grab some pillow time and assume we'll have something to work with on Monday? For that matter, can we get an update that at least allows us to download the game content, even if the server isn't ready? Valve won't release the clients until the server is ready, but why not get the maps, sounds, models and such pre-downloaded by the servers since that content is finalized? Yes, it's an extra revision to the code, but given the content is in final it's a lot of implementation time that can be moved ahead of the first release, which thus allows bug reports to come in much faster. Which reminds me, welcome back from vacation Alfred!

RE: [hlds_linux] DoD:S update, salivate or sleep?
I totally agree with you on this, we need some kind of an update from valve here, so we at least know where we stand, with the client release and the server release, although maybe both will be delayed? I hope not! Although, maybe with all of the problems with the latest source engine update, they are worried or checking into possible problems with dod source as well as the ones we saw with CS:S. Although, not everyone is having problems with the newest source engine with CS:S, but they surely is a lot of them having the problems, so something does need to be done about that too. -Jason -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Sorenson Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 5:02 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] DoD:S update, salivate or sleep?
