in Don't have Left 4 Dead yet? Post #262707
"And I hope that the name isn't the reason you're not buying L4D."
It isn't.

I'm not buying Left 4 Dead for a number of different reasons, not just because it isn't original.

Day of Defeat: Source isn't very original either but the game-play and (unlike Halo/Counter-Strike) most of the players are good.

in TWHL3: The Buglist Post #261473
When you insert a smiley the cursor changes position.
When you insert a BBCode tag it does not (which is exactly how it should be).

The shoutbox/forum/journal/biography character problem (where many characters doesn't show up/show up as another character or gets replaced by say, ☺) wouldn't exist if you would change
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
(This shouldn't cause any trouble; the TWHL HTTP response headers doesn't specify a character set in Content-Type)
The reason a lot of characters doesn't display correctly in the normal ShoutBOX but does in Shoutbox LIVE is that Shoutbox LIVE doesn't have an "<?xml..." so the browser will assume it's UTF-8.

And also, use encodeURIComponent instead of encodeURI in the ShoutBOX JavaScript code and combined with the above fix ALL the ShoutBOX problems would be solved.

You can't say you don't have time for this, it will only take a minute and make TWHL much less buggy...

Portal isn't original either.

I won't buy Left 4 Dead for a long time.
Why did they have to give it such a stupid name?

Please get off the Microsoft-hate bandwagon.
There are too much to dislike about it.
1) They advertise. Capitalists.
2) Their products cost too much. $350 for Office when almost nothing good has been added since 1997? It's not like they need that much money.
3) Internet Explorer.
4) They have a monopoly on operating systems and web browsers and they are doing sick stuff to make sure it stays that way (for example developing DirectX and including IE in Windows).
Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Microsoft more than other no-good-for-this-world-only-purpose-is-to-make-money companies. And there are too many of them to be counted.

Google is becoming more and more like Microsoft. The difference is that Google make good software, Microsoft doesn't, because they don't have to. If Google would be in Microsoft's position I'm sure they would make about as crappy stuff as Microsoft is doing today. I personally hope Google will release an operating system, perhaps then Microsoft will realise the importance of making good software.
Google is already pwning Hotmail, MSN Search and MSN Video.

in Hex-Editing Post #261913
MuzzleFlash if you put createFunButton("hello") in your program an hello will still be in there somewhere even after you compile the program, which means you can edit it with for example a hex editor. You can edit everything, not just variables. You can even create software using a hex editor.
I like Resource Hacker but it is a bit limited.

:o hlfix is great. I compiled with Hammer (F9) and I kept getting leaks all the time but I know there weren't any leaks. So I tried to make the rmf file into a map file using hlfix and the map file compiled without leaks! Awesome!

Is there much left to do on version 1.0.4?

It's supposed to be 8 MB/s but my brother and my mother and is using the Internet and my father is watching broadband TV so I guess it's good.

I am mapping a cave, an alien cave, Evil Barney's Cave!
It doesn't have doors or openings but it has a teleporter and there are two more teleporters that can be used to enter or exit, outside the cave. So I was just wondering if someone would be willing to put a teleporter in their room instead of an exit or entrance (once my room is finished)? If you want, you can make the teleporter.
