Half-Life 2 and it's modifications will be done with C/C++, as it was in Half-Life, correct? There's a handful of discussions blooming up on various Half-Life 2 forums talking about this. Scripting languages can be very limiting... so it's a bit scary what Gabe Newell's quote from a PC Gamer article said: While the old system required its fair share of technical know-how, amateur modders are now promised the chance to focus on content and gameplay flow rather than the nuts and bolts of programming. This could imply a scripting language, don't you agree? (Emphasis on could) Hopefully this is not the case, of course. A scripting language might be neat for people new to creating modifications, but it'd be nice to have C/C++ in addition. I don't think Valve would step away from the power C/C++ offers to modders, but nothing has really been confirmed. Can anyone from Valve confirm if C/C++ will still be used for Half-Life 2?

[hlcoders] 64 players servers are no problem... :-)
Hi, I know that many people says that 64 players servers are impossible... but it can be done simple with winsock. The only problem can be that 56k players will be very laggy. Why? Because if you are 32 players the sever it/you send ~7kb/s and that would be ~14kb/s if you are playing with 64 players... so broadband... So how would this work? You start two decidated server... which has a connection between them... and then you read the packets from the another server and spawn/move players(like bots)... isn´t it just to simple? btw winsock works for linux also if you wonder.. :) So where is the bugs that i have forgotten? / Zoot ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

In the engine. Since the network stream between client and server is encrypted (with an embedded sequence number), you can't just redirect network packets from one server to another server. The engine itself handles the network connecting/disconnecting of players. The engine only has space allocated for 32 players. If you want to bypass the Half-Life network protocol and create your own network protocol (and get rid of prediction, encryption, and services like voice communication in the process), you could do this. Each player would be created as a normal entity (much like monsters are in the single player game), however, you lose too much of the networking features built into the engine when you do this (IMHO). If you want to use the Half-Life engine for client/server network messages, you are stuck with 32 player servers. End of story.
