Hahaha..
Same thing like Halo Dev, now?

Seriously, you wouldn't want to cause another uproar over conversions from the Dev forums?
Sounds like you do from that, if you call it one, sentence.

So is this just a modified map now, cause if it is then that sucks, I was looking foward to using this on any map I felt like.

This is basically how it works:

You can use it on any maps...we have to run some tests though because you have to configure the map first.

Oh

Thats a better idea than making a app
So are u making a dedicated server for trial full and ce
or just one that all can connect to

No the app attaches itself to either one of the dedicated servers.

One question, where are the trial dedicated server files? Do they come with the installation?

Didn't I code the program you guys have that allowed you to pick to either shoot the entrance or exit? Or did I just do that my for personal version...? If you send me the source code that you are using, I can easily update it to allow you to pick which one you want to "shoot". Also, I don't think it would be possible to have the portal show you the view from where it exits. I suppose you could do something crazy like force the program to remove the hud, teleport the camera to the exit portal, take a screen shot, revert back to normal camera and hud, save the screen shot, convert to .dds, and find a way to inject that in place of the portal bitmap or some form of swapping while the game is going. It's possible, not probable.

Also, Pat, I can help you with the portal gun, I've just been busy. I'm always connected to aim though (even if I'm not at my computer) and you can just leave me a message there. Or you can PM me.

Finally you are here yay

No we are keeping it simple...shoot...entrance...shoot again...exit...shot again...entrance etc.

I rewrote all the code...we need to do some testing and find the memory addresses...

So we won't allow the player to either shoot the entrance or exit? Thats one of the best parts. Shooting the exit in the air, then shooting the entrance at people

Monday will be my free day. Or late Sunday. I work too much. Just tell me when you want to begin.

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 5:02 am

I'm writing the whole code right...I worked about 15 hours the past 2 days on this

My AIM is gay right now so I'm updating.

EDIT: Great...corrupted file XD

Zomg, it glows, that makes it the best app ever, screw the portal gum, glow FTW!

bcnipod · Post by **bcnipod** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 3:04 pm

i must agree, if i could run that i would have it open all the time just to look at the glow.

Ok, so there has to be a dedicated server running this game? In other words I can't just have this running and play the game on any map, I have to open a dedicated server on another computer, and then join that game?

Well basically you could.

I think it's good that you mention that...

Patrick there are no dedicated servers for trial

You could run a macro but that means the computer would constantly have to be on.

there might be another way

also bncipod wat do u mean by putting that in your sig
