Re: [hlcoders] What MSVC version do you use/have?

2004-10-21 Thread David Leinbach
Except that you can't compile from .sln (VS.NET Project) files if I
recall correctly.  With the command-line tools you can only compile
from makefiles.

  Most of the HL coders I know are using .net 2003, I am surprised at
  the number of VC6 users. Perhaps it's simply because the bare SDK
  gives fewer problems for VC6 rather than the cost?

 Perhaps MSVS.NET is rather costly and not everybody can afford it, so they
 stay with their good ol' VC6?

  It should be noted that Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 is free for
  download:

 Makefiles for the SDK usable with the toolkit would be nice then, I guess.

Re: [hlcoders] What MSVC version do you use/have?

2004-10-21 Thread David Leinbach
Unless I missed an e-mail in the thread, Alfred only said that it
needs GCC 3.4.x because we require some of its advanced template
support and also its better processor support

From Alfred's original e-mail it sounded like it should be compilable
on other versions of MSVC but that they didn't want to have to include
project files for the other versions.

Anyway, I was just wondering...

 Didn't he say that already? :/

 I prefer VC6 but I have VC.NET as well.
 
 Question though, since VC.NET can convery from VC6 projects, why not
 include VC6 projects and then those users using VC.NET can just
 convert?

 I just want to do a quick straw poll of how many people on this list
 DON'T have access to MSVC.NET or above for their MOD development (we
 hope to only release MSVC.NET project files with the SDK)?

Re: [hlcoders] Copy/Trademark question

2004-10-21 Thread David Leinbach
While Blizzard can't directly prevent you from coding a program like
BNETD, when you use Starcraft/Warcraft/etc you are agreeing to their
EULA which can say that you won't use it with any servers except their
own and therefore make it impossible to test BNETD.  Also, you have to
realize that any authentication methods they have could possibly be
protected by the DMCA (I think I got those in the right order).
Basically, because you can't develop a program like BNETD without
using it with a Blizzard game and you are not allowed to use a
Blizzard game with any server other than theirs, you can't develop a
program like BNETD.

The reason you can use whatever oil you want in your GM car is because
you have purchased the car itself while with software you are
generally just purchasing the right to use it (go read the EULA - that
is why you can't use it on two computers at once because you have only
purchased a single license).

A better comparison would be with your warranty that comes with your
GM car.  The warrany could say that it only covers damange to the
engine if you use GM oil and GM would be well within their rights to
say this.  If GM determines that you use some type of oil other than
GM brand then you have breached the contract (warranty) and GM can
react appropriately (in this case the contract would say that in the
case of a breach, the warranty is void).

 I read good responses on this threads for others guys. Looks like a good
 advice is to avoid other people IP and generate our own IP.

 The coolness about CS letter is that you dont need to proff that. People
   runaway because lack the money and lawyers. Its like dark ages on
 europe: the lords always right and onlaw, and villagers the illegal and
 evile.

 [#1] You are right because you have the money.

 Also because corporations put money on law makings and individuals not,
 so the law is customized to corporationds needs. Usa word for that is lobby*.

 [#2] If you are wrong, you can change the law with more money.


  One feeds off
  the Blizzard franchise and makes them lose sales on their *craft games,

 Yes, everything with *craft is owned by Blizzard.
