Also, compare what HL1 looked like and what you could do with it mod-wise right after it came out with what it became after umpteen patches. Given that this is Valve we're talking about, do you expect anything else? They'll start on HL3, and realize "hey, it'd be really simple to add this to the current engine and mods would benefit" and well, you know the rest. -- Bob Aman _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
