"HLCoders HUD FoNtS aNd eVerYThinG" Thread Mini FAQ:
What its need?
newbie modders *requiered* to provide 100.00 % what its need to make mods, follow tutorials, etc..
Why?
newbie coders hardly know how to code, and have no experience with compiler errors/warnings. To follow tutorials need full src, add the hacks, then compile. Neeed idiots proffs measures.
The actual src its not 100%, Its that a problem?
I think not. I think newbies will start modding later, but will be nice if the next release of SDK include the 100% of code needed to make everything (DM and SP).
Are newbie coders important?
Yes, because have more time to waste, often people 25/30 years old hare already full, cant work more than a few hours a week. And because oldies die, and where replace by new blood.
Its this actually english?
Naaahhh :D
note: Sorry If this mail is a time waste :/

Sarcasm?
Not having an example means you learn more (you learn more from failures than you do by copying what someone else has done). Also, not having something you can copy-and-paste from encourages everyone to create their own unique interface rather than having 100 MODs all using exactly the same layout and button arrangement (see "Counter-Strike clone" for examples). :)
But, yeah, basically coders are lazy and will happily copy what someone else has done rather than trying to invent the wheel themselves (even if they could invent a much better wheel with a little bit of extra work).
