righto - just curious really as to whether it'd be along before or
simultaneously with the game. I'm feeling a bit impatient, I guess. :p

VC++ 6.0 here, though if the whole SDK compiled for windows under gcc
(say mingw) that'd be cool too.

I definitely remember a bandwidth test on CS vs CS:S when the latter
first came out. They were about even.

Aye, there were some things that have been done better by other engines,
but Source is hardly weak in that regard itself. The character
technology is way beyond anything out there. Though much of the
scripted-sequence stuff could be considered just set-piece animation and
thus nothing new - when yo
Technically you're in the Mark 5 now, not the Mark IV. :p There were a
lot more sound effects that were recycled, though - weapons, doors,
machinery, enemies - and to me they kinda sounded out of place against
the new sounds and visuals.

Hey, there it is.
Didn't most people say they were still using MSVC++ 6? I know I am. Any
chance of project files? If not, how about a makefile for g++?

including HL2 SP and Codename: Gordon - from working entirely for
several hours for a number of users. Seemed like a good quarter or more.
There's a reason why companies looking at corporate auto-patching
systems always insist on
Use 0.001 for the delay between the think events. Add another variable
to the Strider giving the next 'real' think time, and only process the
Strider think code every 0.1 seconds. Like this:
void Strider::Think()
{
if (gpGlobals->curtime <= nextStriderThink)

Consider a mod using some kind of persistence to track stats, or reward
players across games for putting in effort. This isn't so far-fetched; a
mod could easily be a multiplayer persistent RPG somewhere between the
instanced worlds model of Guild Wars and the more general model of
shared worlds co
So why should I make it easy for you?

You can't trust clients, either. That doesn't stop us - or rather, Valve

cheaters out of our games.
Developers of any multiplayer game have to engage in this arms race.
It's nothing new. The point isn't to eradicate cheating, but to
