What version of DirectX are you using?

I'm curious as to why you chose to use the Microsoft Install Shield for ESF. Do you guys have a preference towards it or was that all that was available to you (considering it's more expensive than most installer utilities). I wouldn't mind it so much if it would let me install from a...

AdminMod adds much more functionality than that... It basically let's server administrators give friends, clan members, or important people access to various features of your server. The reason it didn't work on your server is because you did not have the most recent version of MetaMod which...

Sorry to invade on your beloved thread, but for an offtopic thread, it sure is pretty close to topic. :) Oh, and btw Vegetto, your signiture is causing that "staircase" effect in the posts.

ESF Beta 1 came out well after HL 1.0.1.0. However, I would imagine that is a HL problem rather than a bug in the ESF code.

That's because it doesn't blow up. I believe it's meant to dissapate if fired under water. Electricty/energy (whatever name you want to give it) doesn't manifest very well when created underwater.

Wrong forum to discuss that, buddy. Has this been fixed or in the process of being fixed?

That's exactly why you didn't need to make a new thread about it. They are looking into it.

Yes, that's been well established and repaired. Thank you for the input.

Great, glad to hear this. As I had said before, I couldn't replicate the problem, but I suspected that was the issue when he posted his findings. ForumUsefullness++;

So I guess this means the problem is in your code. Now, would you rather we fix this or continue to blame it on the Half-Life engine?

Then point me to it.

So if they fixed it, doesn't that prove that it was a problem in the mod rather than in HL?

That is very possible. After much digging through the SDK, it seems that damage isn't handled by a function in the SDK, but rather is something handled by the engine. This helps prove your theory of the problem. I still don't think it's a bug in the engine, but rather one in the ESF code.

Well, I'd like to research this, can you give me anything to work off of?

I don't think so.. This kind of thing doesn't show up in most mods. I'll check the Beta 2 source to see if I can spot anything in there.

On several occasions, I've been damaged to 0 health (or close to it because I saw no numberical display for it) and have still been alive. I have the feeling that I was at zero health because when I touched a wall, my view went to a sideways, first person view. I haven't been able to replicate...

Yes, that is the idea of "locking on" to someone.

Thank you very much.
