Re: Autowaypointing...

There are lots of problems you can easily overlook when doing autowaypointing (like guys using hostages to reach otherwise unreachable spots etc.) and you don't have a map representation right from...

Take care Stefan !

That's weird, because you sounded so motivated in your latest posts. Perhaps you just need a longer break. My own experience is that a change to a different game/engine keeps motivation up. Also you...

Re: Hl2 Sdk?

Is the memory ptr "badf00d" perhaps ? ;)
Are you eventually calling another specific method to select a weapon ?

Re: Hl2 Sdk?

LOL, that sounds bitter...

Re: Hl2 Sdk?

Read about those issues. At least the ammo counts etc. could be "hacked" by using...

Re: Hl2 Sdk?

At least they're still giving away source-code, which is rare these times.
And using Metamod Source I'd think you could hack your way into a lot of stuff. Probably not with as general functionality...

Re: Podbot: Reborn

Thanks for the hosting offer but no need to throw half-baked stuff at innocent people right now ;)

Re: So whatever happened to the Nuclearbox?
