I sincerely hope you steer clear of any programmer/developer career. This isn't how software works. Ever.
Ask anyone who develops software for a living. Heck, ask anyone at VALVE that develops software! The question is simple: "How important is documentation to a software project?" To those of you defending valve for their lack of documentation and/or configuration examples - let's face it; you already know the answer to this, you simply won't admit it in public. Valve dropped the ball, plain and simple. They know it. You know it. I know it. Valve needs to know how we feel about it, or it will be the same crap release after release. Proper documentation is PARAMOUNT for having maintainable software for all parties involved. It isn't the role of the community to document someone else's software. This is clearly in Valve's court, and they need to step up. Then, and only then, will I support this product - because as-is it's a junky console game with nothing in it for a gaming community. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of msleeper Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 2:56 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] How about some server instructions and server.cfg files? Seconding. It has more or less been the community's place in the past to explore options that are outside the box, and I don't see why L4D is or should be any different. Want documentation? Play with CVARs and throw you findings up on srcds.com or the Developer wiki. Thank you for helping us help you help us all. On Tue, 2008-11-25 at 10:09 -0600, Dustin Wyatt wrote: > QFT.
