Code: Select all

bool IsCoder(bool understandsBinary)
{
    return understandsBinary;
}

you don't even need that since understandsBinary already contains the information you need.

The joke was to instigate debate whether code should be written like

stuff{

or

stuff
{

I'm a fan of the latter.

[coder0xff]

Me too, I like the latter. But there is a point to having that code. It's a level of abstraction. You may choose later to alter the implementation of the function.

[Terr]

I think Xpath might be a bit more convenient.

[coder0xff]

Yeah, but the programmers of Xpath aren't interlopers.

[zombie@computer]

I think Regex pwn all of the above.

[Terr]

No, I meant you could combine it with an xpath library so that people can use xpath expressions with your app.

[coder0xff]

Enough nonsense, moar pimpage.

Enjoy pong.

I made that in Java years ago, using Steve Irwin's head as a ball. Dug it up and sent it to a few friends after he died, I've misplaced it again though.

Still plugging away at bits for PackBSP 2.0. This next part probably isn't half as impressive as a picture, but I'll post pictures once the GUI's at the right stage.

The program is examining the TF2 Swamp-Pack demo map, and figuring out what needs to be included in the map if it were to be distributed stand-alone. (This is a replacement for the "pakrat" program with some major improvements.)

Near the end you can see which files were detected as "missing", broken into "required" and "optional" missing items. You can see it catches that a cubemap has not been built.

The whole thing takes about 1.5 seconds to run, although in this unit test that's not counting the time it would normally take to interrogate the Steam/SDK metadata for discovering SDK paths and GCF dependencies.

Attempts at making the player cast shadows:

Player model shadow:


Player and view model shadow:


As you can see, it works with RTT shadows(those cast by most props/NPCs and controlled by shadow_control entity). I am trying to make it work with depth texture shadows(env_projectedtexutre). This is only useful if you mod has a real animated player model.

Function to read lumps from a bsp into structs without caring about struct type. (C#)

Code: Select all
