When it comes to reading players into cl_entity structs, is there any
simple way to check if the players in question are in the local players
PVS/PAS ?
I ask because I'm doing alot of things client side such as blood trails
and laser beams and last time around i ran into a big problem where
blood and laser beams would come out at random areas because the
client.dll's locations for these players wasn't updated.

[hlcoders] Re: ^_^ mew-mew (-:
Hmm, looks like linking is a moot point, since this list is sent in plain text and not in rich text. What I was refering to as bad linking was in html... DO NOT CLICK THE LINK IT DOESNT CONNECT TO ANYTHING...MERELY AN EXAMPLE. eg: http://www.thiscouldbeavirus.com";>ftp://ftp.valvesoftware.com/hlserver Like I said above though. Its a moot point unless someone finds a way to hide urls in plain text. As to the rest, lets let it go on the public list.

Re: [hlcoders] ^_^ mew-mew (-:
@omega again You've gotten spoofed in my name because the person responsible for trying to distribute the worm is a member of this list, and is aware be can be caught now. I direct you to check the header info. It is not from me. And, curiously enough, I would ask you to check that header info and post it either publicly to the list or privately to me. As my isp would be very interested in this. As well as me personally, would love to go after this nub for trying to distribute a virii using my name frauduently (Valve may not want to, but I am not Valve). Now here is some food for thought omega...if the mails are coming spoofed in my name, its not the worm. Its the hacker who is trying to distribute the worm. My network is clean, I can guarantee that. Trend Micro PC-Cillin is always on, and updates every day (virus defs), not to mention my router would block any unauthorized traffic (this network is set to lockdown when not in use), and that particular worm would also get detected by The Cleaner (trojan scanner/remover) had I had it and it was spoofing emails (which no worm in the world to date has done yet). Like I said check the header, and thanks, because your reply confirms it is someone specifically spoofing emails, and not a worm (worms dont pick up on addresses IN an email, only ones FROM an emails FROM area). And seeing as how I used an alternate email to email the polish cyber cafe, well that makes that impossible from this address. Lastly, no emails were spoofed to this list in my name, however to individuals they were. What does that tell you? I bet this is the same guy that stole the source for hl2. 8) -=]H[=-StealthMode ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] ^_^ mew-mew (-:
@omega For one the lists are being spammed with the spoofed email randomly (eg: not all at the same time) which if it were just a normal common worm, all the lists would get hit at exactly the same time. Which demonstrates that this is a user going to the cafe at random times, and sending emails periodically (or remote hacking the network @ the cafe). While the virus has the same name, does not mean it is not a variant. Far as what else is getting hit. If anything else were getting hit (eg: other companies, private email addys, etc.) I am sure the TOS of the isp in Poland is the same as the rest of the world. Which means he'd be termed by the isp until the network was cleaned and he could show that it was through no fault of his own that the worm was being distributed through his network. However, with just one victim (Valve) who lacks the motivation to follow up on network security breaches, it's a good bet that the spoofed emails are targeted only at Valve. Let me break it down in laymens terms. If the network had the worm you refer to, it would be spamming the worm to everyone that ever sent an email to that guy. Which I am sure includes his isp, which he would have been shut down by now for. Now, with that in mind, add the fact that the file attachment is the worm, not the email. The worm does not spoof its own email addy, never did. Someone is targeting Valve solely with this, you can bet every penny you ever made on that. With that, lets move on this topic is getting stale and I am already in contact with Valve privately regarding the matter. -=]H[=-StealthMode ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
