LOL, I was convinced for awhile, but I couldn't look past some very real
technical limitations.
I feel much better now.
Back to the Viscosity Engine. ;-)

what happens to the netcode? i thought the original reason for the limit was
because once you went passed that in quake, the netcode had to be changed to
allow for larger values of origins.
Correct. The player origin, physics of entities, etc. are limited to the
8192x8192x8192 world

this means
Oh and by the way, the rumors about Kaazaa style spyware embedded in the
clients is false. Drive light activity when not actually playing a game
is probably just some screwed up microsoft thing.

Hum...it's interesting but...
Each player becomes a server ... so each players must have a good
connection.
I'll think about this, it interests me ;

Hey - Only thing about scaling your players down to 16 units, doesn't taht mean that
the
largest details you'll be able to have in your levels will be the equivalent of 4
normal
HL units? While it's not a major limitation, I think that it's

True, but when you're in a server with 1023 other players, you won't be
looking at textures. If we didn't scale it down, we'd definitely see a
flood of WTF YOU AER BLOKING TEH DOORWAY YU BEOTCH!

how is the pm code shared between the master server and the client servers?
(just being nosey :) )
your idea sounds really cool, hope to try it out in the future, be really
good having a mass killing :)

You can have unlimited map sizes if maps are compeltely or partially
generated based on algorithms
(a'la Tribes). Most half-life mods, however, require 'traditional' designer
created levels.

We think this is really going to revolutionize HL mods.
Indeed, it will revolutionize all of FPS gaming. Gone are the days of
aiming. The era of the handgrenade is upon us.
I mean, with numbers like that, a randomly tossed nade will net you like
what, 15 to 20 frags? Spam, baby, spam :D
The half-life engine WILL render outside of the 8129x8129x8129 bounds
(create a HUGE model and place it near an edge, you will be able to see it
in its entirety).
the limit applies to where brushes and physics, and origins can be.
But you can work around these limits and have an unlimitied map
yes, but he said it around christmas time!

no, not an april fools. Ive seen at least one mod that has actually done
this.
The most obvious way is with the TriAPI, but you could also do it with any
way to render something. you could create a tileset out of models for
example and use those as building blocks to build your world, it all
This method could be usefull...for a singleplayer mod only. Am I wrong ?
Is the 8192^3 width limitation only for .bsp files ?
