I'm quite happy with how TWHL3 functions and looks. It has some issues and I understand if Penguinboy don't want to touch his old code (I know the feeling). I only ask that you don't change too much in the next version.

in [CODE] Fix crowbar and Glock Post #289636

2.3-p3 is the latest almost-official version.
To fix the crowbar glitch, try replacing
[quote] m_pPlayer->m_iWeaponVolume = CROWBAR_BODYHIT_VOLUME;

			if ( !pEntity->IsAlive() )
				  return TRUE;
			else
				  flVol = 0.1;[/quote]

with
[quote] m_pPlayer->m_iWeaponVolume = CROWBAR_BODYHIT_VOLUME;

			if(!pEntity->IsAlive()) {
				m_flNextPrimaryAttack = UTIL_WeaponTimeBase() + 0.25;
				  return TRUE;
			} else {
				  flVol = 0.1;
			}[/quote]

I haven't tested this, but I believe it will fix the glitch.

Let's put it this way: You paint your apartment wall with flammable paint, if a fire were to start, your entire house would burn extremely fast. The paint begins to get old and you decide to repaint it, and you use flammable paint again. Where's the logic?

Your apartment looks good again. Makes perfect sense to me.

in Mozilla Thunderbird Post #289238

I don't really like pop/imap or any locally stored email personally, though. Being able to access my mail from any machine is pretty important to me.

While the POP and IMAP protocols can be and in the case of POP often is used to delete emails, they are far from always. It all depends on the client and server configurations. For example, I use Mozilla Thunderbird with my Gmail account. Emails that Thunderbird has downloaded are stored locally but are also kept on Google's servers so I can read my emails from any computer using Gmail's web interface or using Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail.

Make sure that "Game Executable Directory" is set to a correct value.
If that doesn't work, set "Game executable" to "...\Half-Life\hlhammer.bat" and create a file in your Half-Life directory called "hlhammer.bat" and put this in it:

Agreed. The env_beam method should be more processor-friendly and uses less entities and depending on its usage the multimanager method may give the same result over and over again or the results may form a simple pattern.

I suppose you could do it with a multimanager constantly firing trigger_changetargets in a loop.
That's not true random triggering. An env_beam with random strike is.

No, neither is. A normal computer can't generate true random numbers. Most computer systems use the current time to generate the first "random" number, and for the rest the last generated "random" number.

It took a few days to upload the files thanks to my low upload bandwidth. I've been collecting files for a little over a year. Compiling the list didn't take long, I let a JavaScript script do most of the formatting for me.

Not at all. Different versions of different mods require different versions of Half-Life in order to work. The Counter-Strike betas (or most of them, anyway) for example don't work with Steam Half-Life and they're in my opinion a lot more fun than the Steam version (1.6).
