RE: [hlcoders] [OT] question to valve, curious
How about a blooper where the skinner/modeler let there kids do the characters? Scene 1: [Head shot of Barney talking to camera] Barney: hey you dont actually expect me to say my lines looking like this, eh? [FAST ZOOM OUT TO REVEAL A CRAYON COLOURED BARNEY or MATCH STICK BODY BARNEY or ONE OF THOSE EARLY MODELS WE ALL TRIED TO DO BUT FORTUNATELY DISCOVERED THE DELETE KEY BEFORE ANYONE NOTTICED] Scene 2: A Face Crab advances slowly on a prone Barney. It stops dead with a little WHHURring sound. Barney looks pleadingly at the camera, while a techy runs out to wind it back up. Scene 3. A zombie is kicking and making muffled screams from the lying on a hospital trolley being wheeled past the camera with people shouting: For God sake! Get a paramedic! and I told him not to try picking his nose! Scene 4: The celebrations at the After hours party with a conga line of zombies.

The bsp's won't load with your version of the engine. A lot of the demo map files are either lost, changed beyond recognition, never checked in, reference textures that don't exist anymore, or are interim .rmf versions that WC can't read anymore. The monsters either were never finished, were done with out of date versions of Max,only work in the demo area, only work on privates builds of the engine, or got cut and AI code for them is long gone and nasty to try to dig back out. Our content database also has limits, so when the level designers are checking in their 1.5MB bsp's once every few days, it doesn't take long with 115+ filesto fill up the database (most maps went through 30-50 iterations) and things need to get flushed. With older content, typically versions only work with very specific builds of the engine, so we'd have to hunt through and recover everything in a hopes that just maybe _all_ the different files still exist somewhere for that date. You have everything we still have, I spent quiet a while hunting it down to put in the SDK. Okay, I suspect some of us have CD's buried somewhere at home that have really early builds of the engine. But, looking at it critically is really embarrassing. You know those school pictures your mom has of you in 2nd grade wearing that purple and brown velour shirt with you just after losing your front teeth and you had that really bad haircut your dad gave you? Remember those pictures? Well, without being very very careful with getting just the right shot, early versions of half-life look like that, except that it's also just about to sneeze. Hmm. Okay, maybe no is the correct answer. -Original Message- From: Biggs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 10:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] [OT] question to valve, curious I asked this question years ago right after HL was released.

Yes, I agree. One of the most annoying Javascript things is the fact that in Internet Explorer, Javascript can be used to change your homepage, without asking you. What kind of feature is that??

Some view him as backwards for this view, but frankly I applaud his decision. Having the capability to read and parse arbitrary content in a mail package is exactly what has lead to this wave of email viruses. Do we really need a scripting engine so powerful that any program can do anything to the system, particularly when there is no particular (at least that I've ever worked out) system security. At least on Unix, most users are severly hampered from destroying anything particularly important (save their own data), even though there's more powerful scripting languages than WSH (in my opinion anyway). I still think most of these viruses depend on you opening the attachment (although that may not be the case for long, if JavaScript or ActiveX can be employed to help out a bit by a sufficiently clever virus author). Is this something I need to open McAfee for or can it be avoided by not opening any files? My e-mail client is gay and automatically views the first new e-mail so if I can get this thing by just viewing the e-mail I'm screwed already.
