BM:DM Questions C:

@Dr. Maxwell

Alright, it’s nice to know that BMDM will definitely exist at some point. Sorry to have misinterpreted your post. Also, I’d really love if you succeeded at getting communication opened up, because then maybe really info-desperate people like me wouldn’t be overanalyzing every little nugget of information.

But you see the circle here right?

@Dr. Maxwell

…then maybe really info-desperate people like me wouldn’t be overanalyzing every little nugget of information.

We’d be more comfortable releasing information if the above was not happening to begin with.

Sorry, had to. And sorry in general.

In this case, yes it’s one person. But if you’ve had anything to do with Black Mesa over the past 8 years, you damn well know that number is a lot higher. People do the same thing with VALVe and HL3. They’ll tear apart and read into the smallest crevices of a post attempting to infer something that fits in line with their idea of the status quo. We’ve kind of HL3’d ourselves into a corner. We’ve made mistakes with over-promising before. We don’t want to continue that trend. The solution is not to say anything until we’re 100% sure we can deliver. Stuff like this though definitely doesn’t help. Believe me, I really want to talk about the cool shit we have in store for everyone. I’ve been pushing internally to open up. My hope is that the mindset we have will change and we’ll start to be more communicative.

This paragraph should be read by all HL3 fanboys.

Your-name-here is very right, to get the best results, patience must be required, and patience is a virtue.

If we nagged the developers about the current status of BMDM or any of their future development plans, they might then have to speed up the game development, and that might cause a lot of problems in the game, they would concentrate generally on the big points and ignore the minor points, and those minor points can be bugs as annoying as Adrenaline Gamer 2 Pro Mode models being invisible.

Let’s just give them time and not stress too much on them, I’m pretty sure that BM will be the bomb when it gets fully done and released. Black Mesa part 1 took many years of development, and it was fucking worth it, if only you knew what it takes to develop such… perfection… in a point.

Anyways, I’m expecting no less from BM developers, but what I really wish for, is a better anti-cheat system, more like placing restrictions in BM files or such, I have many ideas for that, but I suggest only, because VAC is weak…

I appreciate the kind words, though my post was really just a general rant. We want to avoid setting expectations that we cannot meet. VALVe was bit by this before and that’s why we hear nothing about EP3.

In regards to an anti-cheat, we don’t have plans to make a replacement for VAC (technically not feasible). For files, I believe server operators have the option of using the sv_pure console variable.

We can’t really talk about future plans right now due to legal agreements made with VALVe during the Greenlight process. However, assuming we had BM M as a released mode:

2. The community will support the servers. We’re on the Source SDK. You should be able to just run servers via SRCDS. I’ll have to look into it more since I’ve never done that with the SDK but in theory, it should work.

You can run a server off your local machine but the players you can have connecting will be limited to what your PC can Handle…And your connection

Better to hire a custom server… But Frag yards never hurt anyone them small cosy maps are fun too.

mani admin plugin yes please

quake sounds… Goes without saying

Once BMDM is released, I start making maps in it

Keep in mind that mani admin plugin and quake sounds are not our projects so don’t expect something like that to ship with BMDM nor should you expect us to support them (e.g. troubleshoot or integrate).

[Ronster]

yeah I totally understand that.

I hope they will support you guys.
