because the pc is handling other matters rather than sifting through the

Hi there
I added Bigguys
The problem seems to relate to my Gforce4 4200 card, I've tried various
driver versions with the same bizzare effect ranging from full screen
blurring to a HOM effect only when the view turns and it's rendered were
some surfaces should be.

Using a colour glow shell to duplicate the model several times mkaing them
progressively less opaque and then somehow finding a way to delay the
animation of the duplicates to be behind the current frame of the actual

information
I help moderate the VERC Wanted forums and someone recently posted a request
for a programmer to create a database system for an on-line RPG mod using
HL. Now my knowledge of the networking side of HL is somewhere between zero
and minus one but something in my gut says it can't be done. I know
Ok thnx, I'll pass the information on.

Subject: [hlcoders] Engine enhacements been added in next HL patch
One of my dev team somehow got word that the next HL patch might include
some if not all of the engine enhancements from CS:CZ, mainly the added
model capabilities like alpha maps. I've not heard any mention of this from
the usual sources but it seems possible now that CS:CZ has been handed over
Thnx for an informed opinion about that botman, although it's not the
official word it sounds like there certainly alot of doubt as to the
position Valve might take on this issue. I find it funny how you said they'd
never risk something that would break any mods, especially as i remember
some mod
I'm not much of a programmer, I just handle the all management and various
design aspects of the project I leave the programming to Laurie and James.

since that the last area for me to gain experience in. Odds are we'll
I've used QEradient for HL editing and i have to say that it's a damn
nightmare trying to set the damn thing u pto use WADs, but i simply couldn't
settle with it once i got past the traumatic set up. I hate to sound like
one of the brainwashed masses but WC/Hammer simply is perfect for Quake
The source uses a single set of decals for all bullet holes. I've been using
a colour decal for my bullet holes for DT so it'll be available in the next
build. It's part of one of the wads' but I can't remember exactly which one
atm. Probably decals i think.

Correct me if I'm getting confused but surely HL uses as much memory as
needed and considering the sort of spec machines around nowadays and the
capabilities of gfx cards then having several Mb of texture memory for each
npc isn't such an issue. Or does the HL engine have internal limitations
that
The difference is that while a multiplayer mod needs to load all of the
models and all of the weapons, it has a higher memory useage. Luckily I'm
working on a single player project so we have more direct control over what
is precashed and what isn't. So if there's a way to all for 1024x1024
I thought something like that would be engine side?

As far as I'm aware the best solution would be create addtional bitfields
rather than flags since HL has a limitation on how many flags can be used on
an entity, however you can have many bitfields as you want.

Yeah but surely something has to be altered in the code to apply the new
things. From what Ive gathered so far they've made significant changes to
what the models are capable of, now surely this would have some effect on
the new SDK they said was going to be released.
- Original Message
Quite a simple question which only Gearbox and Valve can probably answer.
I'm just curious as the new SDK which will 'eventually' be released will
include these additions and I'd like to know in advance what to expect. Also
is there a rough outline for the time when this new SDK with the engine

OGL is much better from a programming perspective IMHO, much easier to

Just a comment from me. I'm the prioject leader, this is the particle system
kindly donated to us by friends in Hostile Intent. Just the engine mind you,
not the implementation. The effect ISN'T consistant. On a PIII 350 with GF2
MX it runs fine, yet on some other systems ( mine in particular)
50fps with the particles on screen?
