OK Back on the bus!!! (Triumph) I mean back to the topic. Ehrm... I'm playing the specialists at the moment. Suberb mod!!! Really like the bullet-time and the shootdodge.
Sharing stolen source code with everyone is not such a good idea. The fact that Valves security was breached and that the code was stolen, means that I now have to wait until late next year for a look at HL2. That doesn't impress me one little bit.
The fact that they are changing the code means that there is a good possibility that your maps created with the unofficial beta, will not actually work with the final release. So it seems that getting a head start, will not actually be getting a head start.
You are welcome to post thoughts and ideas but refrain from posting any maps created with the stolen code, as they will be deleted. ( I deleted your billiards room map because you said it was an HL2 map, and since Valve haven't released HL2, the the only people that can view it are people with the illegal beta, I will not support the use of the stolen source.)
I believe that the best course of action would be to follow Kol's and Seventh's advice.... delete and report.

I think the main thing to consider here is that the unofficial Beta is just that... "unofficial" and recreated from the stolen source code. If you want to look at it that is your business, but what's the point? Some low life stole the source... How stupid is that? I just want to see the finished product, and because of this breach in security, I won't be able to do that for months now... So I am pissed off.

have you thought about the fact that HL2.Beta is Actually a BETA, It probably need some fine tuning before it works, and if i'm not mistaken, the beta is Unofficial? Am i Correct?

Yo everyone! My friend just downloaded HL2 beta, he said that he only got a bunch of files and he also said that you must have a 3,1GHz to run HL2 (unbelivable...). How do you run the beta?
Uh, atom, any chance (odd q., I know), of making a little third shoutbox-acces-point-thing, with it all backwards, and with the 'go' button hidden? And no title [i.e. the black writing, not the HTML title]: I want to integrate the sB inta meh browser, you see...
iam going to write a tutorial on how to use the camera in haf-life only it will take a while cause there are more then 4 ways to use it so i have to write a tutorial on that
Yeah, it just can't take uploads more than 2MB, so you have to e-mail those to me. Or, preferably, upload them to your own webspace and send me the address.
Depending upon how complex your map is, it may take a long time to compile. There is nothing wrong when the compile stops on Leaf Thread.
Compile times can take from a minute to days...I had one compiling for 7 days once. Usually, when I compile, I leave the computer sit for a while, then come back. On more complex maps, I compile overnite.
As I still am working on The Portal's first map, I went mad when it suddenly wouldn't compile! It starts compiling and gets to LeafThread, then the whole thing just freezes! NOOOOOOOOO! Please help!
NO, ITS NOT WORTH IT ! and if were up to me i'd ban you too, - sorry thats just my oppinion, i feel very strongly about this issue, and i was going to start an HL2 content boycott - but then i realised that i'd be contradicting myself.. do the right thing, report the website or the location of where you got the code, and delete it off your computer
editing your own posts is very handy : if you make a redundant post - ask a qn and then realise that you know the answer etc... - if i'm not making any sence its because i can't concentrate because some one is trying to talk to me about php while i type...
And about the whole admin thing.. Hey, i wouldn't mind actually if you need any extra help - i'm here nearly every day...
right time or me to tell the truth.... we all have only 7 outs to live we will all die because of a big astroid wich will colaps with the earth.whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. oh the wrong thing wright?? al right go here:..jsut found out doe closed there doors from the site. they already closed there test server. i think the manual on verc is very easy
Please, anyone who considers downloading HL2: [b]don't![b] VALVe have spent five years making it - how would you feel if you spent that long making something, then someone went and stole it and showed everybody a crappy leaked version? No wonder VALVe's stuff is buggy atm!
Did RCS use a multi computer system? They are gone now... so no idea, but you might want to check the back news at collective to see what happened to Remote Compiling Systems....
As for the HL2 Leaked Beta. Are you making maps based on what you think HL2 will be capable of, or are you actually using the stolen code Beta to make maps?
I am hoping you are anticipating the awesome possibilities of the HL2 editor.
I feel a Huge Rant coming on here, but I am going to contain myself and just say, that if you are using the stolen source code in some way to produce maps, then you are not only cheating yourself, but every other mapper as well. ( Note that I said "IF" you were using the code. I did not say that you were!! )
