Dude, just shut up. Keep it to half-life coding, not wavelength/any other website bashing yeah?

You are not a naiz, I know why I was banned and you have every right to ban anyone on your board however you banned me for making some subtle suggestions for which I was criticized for and complained. I had over a 1000 posts and contributed plenty in both the coding board and mapping board. I think only 4 or 5 people had more posts then I, it's really your loss, I don't mind saving my breath. And in fact , the only good answers I got there were from entropy and botman and bulk and well you have some good input too along with shimms, but the a lot of your moderation team & local posters are a group of 16 year olds whom only amplified the animosity between you and I. I got used to steam and I did admit In the beginning it was a vast improvement, only reason I'm using this email is because its my STEAM email. As you know, steam requires an email when you registered. I did not want to use a real email because I don't like spam and I don't think any game or software for that matter should even have a right to an email address. (most software, I understand some needs it) so my steam dir is /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/half-life/ blah blah blah In regards to the radar, I made the background out of vgui rects in order to keep the size the same across every res, however I will change this because the vgui gets drawn after sprites, so that's no good. I will make the radar out of sprite rects and dynamically change the size based on resolution. (I would like to use triapi, but don't have time to learn that) Also I noticed that the vgui repaint routine has slowed down. This is why my radar looked worse in steam before I changed it to sprites. I also have a vgui menu which scrolls and it looks really bad now too because it scrolls really choppy. Can anyone explain the reason for handicapping the vgui? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony "omega" Sergi Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Client side radar question We banned you because you kept attacking admins, and then created 3 accounts to call me a nazi. If you don't understand why you were banned for that, you have mental issues. -- you're posting as "steamsucks", and your first post here was an attack on it and valve.
