Heee Tony!.. Cool work!. I like to see people that push available technology to edge :D You show a good point, Its posible to code some usefull stuff from mods, withouth engine changes. - Animated skybox? - Textures that generate particles automatically? - GeoMod alike technology? You can fake that, but fake code is somewhat in-elegant, hacky, have minor visual artifacts and is terrible to mantain. I bet a engine changes, not hacky stuff done by leet people. Engine changes where available to the averaje Joe, but leet hacky code is only available to wizardry coders. Well.. Ok. Maybe Is a bad idea to make suggestions here, hehehehe,,... I will stop for a while. Toasters not need a 2th feature to surf the web. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
