I don't think it's a far cry to say that PC gaming still exists because of Steam.

Haven't used it much or recently but some things: Ads in your face at every launch, demos do not exist anymore, everyone is ok with asking valve if they may play something or at least telling valve they are playing and how long, some shitty company knows about all the games you have, for many games there is DRM,

Have You Guys Ever Heard Of GOG?

Yes, I am awaiting Galaxy!

Demos not existing anymore is not Steam's fault in the slightest.

But win10 sounds like the general GUI is ok.

i hate func_trains and
think that they really suck;
why are they so bad?

seriously, why do they teleport to the first path_corner you target them at? that means if you want to do several spaced out trains, you need that many path nodes, which introduces slight noticable stops into the path. Why not just let them start where I built them in the level and just float toward their first path_corner?

#25814 posted by necros on 2015/08/07 22:43:34

It's sp you can light them in separate areas...

#25815 posted by - on 2015/08/08 01:37:18

oh crap, you're right, that actually is super useful for what I am doing... I was positioning things really carefully and trying to light them each reasonably the same way... but fuck that, I'll just stack them and they'll all light exactly the same.

Also... I am dumb, I can just make path_corners that are only start positions, they don't have to be part of the chain.

#25816 posted by ijed on 2015/08/08 01:56:44

Good idea, I made them part of the chain for a stupidly over complex map I abandoned ages ago.

Quake is great for these types of proto hacks.

I looked at engines that allow different screenshot formats. I looked at 6 of them and I found 5 different ways.

scr_screenshot_jpeg/scr_screenshot_png
scr_screenshotformat
scr_sshot_format
scr_sshot_type
sshot_format

Woah

I'd be more amazed if they were consistent tbh. I think the days of there being some sort of committee-agreed "standards" for quakery is kinda over.

#25821 posted by metlslime on 2015/08/12 20:55:41

you don't need a committee to check if any other engines have implemented a feature before you, and if they have, conform to their implementation (as long as it's not really dumb.)

To Be Honest

#25822 posted by necros on 2015/08/13 01:30:06

If i was doing my own engine, I wouldn't give a crap what others were doing and make everything the way I want.

The fact there is _anything_ in common between engines is a damn miracle.
