Even if you got the code, it wouldn't do you any good if you're not a coder. Even if you could just compile it, it's not like you could run it. I really don't see the big deal, but maybe I'm missing something. Putting identity codes in applications is what I'm planning on doing for a project I'm working on. It didn't sound like a bad idea, so I'm gonna give it a shot.

In reply to someone who said my idea of inserting 'identity' code into pre-release testing code was silly ... i agree, sorry, i'm not a coder so i don't immediately think of the obvious flaws in my brainwaves ;) As for the sad situation with HL2 code being released into the public domain, can Valve not push HL2 out ASAP to minimise the damage done to the HL2 product? In all honesty I am so glad I am off ADSL at the moment and stuck with 56k modem, because the temptation to grab the code would be too great. We've been waiting for this game for so long it hurts. My sympathy is with all the team that worked so hard to bring us what we wanted, and I hope the losers that did this get caught. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
