Hi, I'm afraid Philip is a fool and as such opted for the daily digest format of the mailing list :-), thus meaning that he can't reply (he and I are on the same MOD team if you're wondering why I'm replying for him).
Anyway, he managed to find the page in Google's cache: http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:o9P1k3qZQNoJ:www.hl2coding.com/wiki/index .php/Dominator9000+&hl=en And it was very useful - solved a fair few problems, so he passes on his thanks, apologising for not doing so himself! --------------------------------------- Chris Adams -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam "amckern" Mckern Sent: 15 August 2005 09:29 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Creating a beam weapon Even though i cant seem to open the page any more - here is the link i found very useful http://www.hl2coding.com/wiki/index.php/Dominator9000 The goback machine might be able to show you a cache of it --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working on a mod, creating the weapons, but I've > come into a bit of > trouble with the weapons.
