Can I divide my map into 2 seperate levels? I like to keep down compile times, shouldn't really make a difference for anyone else.

Hey guys, I would like to join. I've been doing some oldschool GS mapping for fun for a couple of weeks, and I have a map that I've put a bunch of hours in that would fit pretty well! :)

Coding would make everything a lot easier for you. Animating w_security, for example, is more or less one function call.

in Xash3D Engine Update! Post #319022
Besides, why should anybody be telling someone how to spend their time? If someone wants to put effort into recreating Goldsource-related software from the ground up, why shouldn't they not be allowed to?
Fair enough. I just don't understand the fascination with upgrading the GoldSource engine. Old games have charm because of the way they look and their limitations, if you are going to completely change them you might as well migrate to a more modern engine.

And, as your link says, reverse engineering is usually a breach of contract since most eula's prohibits it.

Yes, perhaps, but he could have made his own engine which probably would take less time than reverse-engineering GS and which he could have used for stuff without it being illegal.

I think it is an engine written from scratch that just supports HL stuff. Atleast according to the moddb page.

in Facebook to buy Oculus Post #318467
I'm just surprised that they've managed to actually get so much money stored up from the ad revenue. They must have huge profit margins.
I read somewhere that they earned roughly 1.6 billion usd last year from ads. Together with, as Rimrook said, paying some costs with (highly valuated) stocks means they have some money to throw around.

Yeah... every company keeps a few hundred millions in cash stashed in a drawer just in case they need to buy someone else.
Every huge multinational company probably does.
So yeah, that's where they get all that money.
Ad revenue finances basically every company that offers a service that isn't paid for by the consumer.

Nice! It's definitely worth the effort. Especially if you like me have a midrange phone. The performance gains from KitKat and not having a bunch of oem bloatware alone makes it worth it. Overclocking is nice too.
...it's probably the same with mine.
There's a lot of browsers. Dolphin is nice. If you have an old phone Opera Mini is worth a go.

Mobile browsers have practically universal support for basic JS. Even many old phones with proprietary operating systems. Basically, JavaScript works for everyone, unless they choose to disable it, which there really isn't any logical reason to do. Most top selling old phones - if they have a browser at all - use Symbian OS which browser supports JS.

Here is an interesting statistic. 88% of the 10 million largest websites in the world use JavaScript.

Stu, well, I guess that is the problem with the fact that most people in the industrialized world use computers now. The vast majority of users of browsers and office software don't want settings, they want everything to work and devs trying to pick market shares naturally cater to this. Hell, even most Linux distros are user friendly now.

I agree that the Ribbon thing in MS apps is a bit weird, and overall the Windows 8 design philosophy took some time to get used to. I don't mind it now, though.

Also, why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends?

I don't know what the fuss is about, i wish someone made a browser that just had tabs the home button the address field and the back button. There is nothing more you really need.
That is quite literally the interface of Chrome.

Why does everybody hate Google? If you are concerned with a lack of privacy option there is a Chromium fork called SRWAre Iron, which is basically Chrome with substantially enchanhed privacy settings and without google features which has privacy implcations, such as search suggestions.

JavaScript can not alter the client computer or install anything, since it runs in a protected context and can not perform actions outside it's typical "web functions".

Well, disabling JavaScript will break such a large percentage of websites these days that I think it's not a controversial decision to have it somewhere in the advanced settings, since only a very small amount of people is going to do it. You are a minority, and as such perhaps you should go for one of the alternative smaller browsers that cater to you.

in Help with GoldSrc Engine Post #313387
That tutorial should work! Make sure you change the fgd according to the classname in the code. The engine links your code with an entry in the fgd here

LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS( weapon_m16, CM16 );
LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS( ammo_m16, CM16AmmoClip );

so the fgd entry has to be called weapon_m16 if you just copied code from the tutorial

EntityOfEntIndex gets the first entity that's loaded into the engine, which in singleplayer is the player entity, in multiplayer that obviously doesn't work.

You have to loop through all of them.

 // search the world for players...
   for (int i = 1; i <= gpGlobals->maxClients; i++)
   {
      CBaseEntity *pPlayer = UTIL_PlayerByIndex( i );
      // skip invalid players
      if (!pPlayer)
         continue;

      pActivator = pPlayer;

     //All the rest of the code here - Must be within the loop
   }
It's probably more efficient to do it with entities, tho.

As for ~light textures, the ~ is only to let the engine know the texture has to be looked up in lights.rad, otherwise it won't glow even if listed.
This is not true, any texture works. At least with the modern tools.

in Code for triggering all players Post #312725
I don't remember exactly, but you can't use gDisplayTitle. The title is displayed by the client side so you have to tell every client to show it.

void CTriggerLogo::Use( CBaseEntity *pActivator, CBaseEntity *pCaller, USE_TYPE useType, float value )
{
MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_ONE, gmsgShowGameTitle, NULL, pActivator->pev );
WRITE_BYTE( 0 );
MESSAGE_END();
should show the message to the player who triggers your trigger entity, so if you simply have everyone trigger it everyone should see it.
