Custom DLLs Section Created 18 years ago2006-10-14 19:37:44 UTC by HeAdCrAb KILLA

I had an idea of making a site that featured custom (premade) DLL files for Half-Life that people could simply download and add to their mods. I thought it would be cool if we could code up some client.dlls or whatnot and put them in a seperate section. These DLLs could simply contain basic changes like HUD colors or different HUD styles all premade and ready to download. In order to use the coded DLLs, modders would have to agree to credit the programmer. I don't know, seemed like a good idea at the time I thought of it.

When you say section, you mean map vault kinda thing, right?

Sounds pretty good.
Although I don't think, that TWHL's bandwidth would support it.

That sounds cool, except that not many people make DLLs, so I can't see it getting used much. Besides that, most people want their code very specialized for their mod. And what would you do if you wanted a certain combination of the features provided in the different DLLs?

Half-life Dlls aren't bigger than maps, in general.

I'm not sure that enough people make them for general enough purposes to better Spirit.

I think it would be awesome if someone programmed up some kind of "Half-Life DLL Generator" that would make it incredibly easy to make the DLL files. You just select the different attributes that you want your code to contain and the program builds the dll for you. Of course this kinda eliminates the purpose of developing the code yourself but at the end of the day who gives a damn?

It'd either not allow you to customise it much, or being unspeakably stupidly impossible.

That's preety impossible!

That would be a neat idea but its so much easier to say than do
