While I guess my reply was rather silly, and I overexplained it, my guess is simply that they removed the old normalize function while adding normalizeinplace, to do the job of the VectorNormalize macro and function) that has been there since quake1.
That's my assumption anyway. -------------- -- omega Heroes of Excelsior http://www.heroesofexcelsior.com Blackened Interactive http://www.blackened-interactive.com -----Original Message----- From: Jorge Rodriguez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: April 8, 2006 3:35 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Why VectorNormalize? WOW! Finally, somebody who understands me! A thoughtful, intelligent, relevant and useful response! I never thought one of those would appear from this thread. This is all good to know. I believed it's possible to add a Normalize() when Tony said it, but was too upset with all the cruft to say so. I'll be sure to put this information to good use. Still, none of this answers the original question about why the method was removed in the first place, but I suppose that's all academic now. It was probably removed by a misinformed Valve employee years ago who doesn't remember doing it. Either way, adding it back is no big problem.
