Yeah, we know this. Its just that we have no idea when the hl patch is even going to come out. So with designing our mods models using those effects, noone can see them unless they have dod. Which kinda ruins it. Like my shield model in owing. I could have easily coded it, but this way I don't have to delta any rendering information now, which saves bandwidth when theres a bunch of shields floating around.
If the hl patch is out by the middle of next month I wouldn't care, but if its not out till hl2 kinda deal, that's why we wanna know if we're allowed to at least offer the engine dlls for download so people don't have to have DoD to play our mods properly. Picture this; a view model with glass on it, the view model is big; people without dod are now crippled unless they can shut off the view models, or get the engine dlls. -omega Blackened Interactive http://www.blackened-interactive.com Omega Wing http://owing.blackened-interactive.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 10:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] DOD hw/sw.dll redistribution?
