__About____________
Will be sad if HL2 will not have a linux dedicated servers. For perfomance, and popularity issues. __Some Guess_______ But I guess Valve will have to fix a lot of mistakes that windows coders make: This is from a valve BSP file : "\quiver\valve\halflife.wad;\quiver\valve\decals.wad;\quiver\valve\liquid.wad" Whats happens if i pass this paths to a standard C or standard C++ function? Bad stuff. You need to parse this before to pass to a function. char filename[] = "\normal\quiver\valve\halflife.wad"; f = fopen( filename, "r");//BOMB! at windows, BOMB! at linux... __Conclusion________ Interesting enough, most errors compiling a windows app to linux where mistakes, as not follow standards. Code that is good (ANSI-C, ISO C++,..) compile withouth problem. Maybe the infestation d3d can be isolated with #defines, and project compiled with gcc. I think the HL2 engine is .. GREAT .. and If is need to firm a pact with Bill Gates with blood, I will do. But he.. a cool ping with Linux dedicated server'is lotsa cool, too. > > That sucks...
