-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I believe this was one of those community inspired updates. Like the one that makes you see how flashed a player gets when you are spectating in first person. Both updates came out recently after they were disscussed in the forums. The idea is good. But the problem in Source-games is that they have alot of cvars. So much that they cannot be put in the options windows as checkable options. Like this update, it would have been a great update if it would have been a check box in the options window and it would have been by default off.
Now then why Mani and other plugins work the way they do? Sure they could be done another way. But this is the by far the easiest way to code the properties to those plugins. If they were done the other way there would be a big chance that the plugins would break after every minor update to the source engine or to the srcds. The sad part is that our servers sit empty because of this update. We have CVAR-X and we have no intention to give it up. I guess the dust will seddle after the weekend when people understand what is going on. Now to feedback that people put out the mailinglist and the forums. It isn't very constructive. People just diss the company for trying to please the players. DWP has it's flaws, but I respect the idea of trying to change the game to a more interesting direction for the so called "pub-gamers". So far Valve has done nothing to piss of the competitive gamers. People should wait first for few days before posting whines about the updates to the mailing list and to the forums. Or atleast give some decent feedback instead of just barking to the game developers. Just my 2 cents. -- Jani Tiira -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
