That’s the literal definition of programming, notepadding the shit out of something until it works fsr
Why not use paint? Just paint shadows and it’s done.
It actually began originally with us hand painting BSP shadows made out of non-solid func_brush onto the ground. Unfortunately for the future of video games, our attempts failed.
I think you mean func_illusionary. 
In all seriousness though, that was how volumetric lighting was done, waaay back in the day. I’m sure some games did the same for shadows (Hell, I think we did that with a gradient material a few times in HC for vents and the like, just to ensure the “fade to black” was fast enough that you didn’t notice the lack of further vent in any lighting conditions)
I’m just noticing this now.
Holy shit, that Interloper map.
Theses new Xen maps in BM are so big, that when they will be released,
the size impression is gonna hit me like a shovel.
So, it’s summer time. Any news on the update?
It’s spring.
I don’t know what country you live in, but it’s still spring in the United States. By most people’s reckoning, it is still both astronomical and meteorological spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
Summer…
According to Google it will be summer on Tuesday, June 20th at 11:24 PM Central Time.
So if all things go well, which they never do, we might be installing the last portion of the game by Friday, September 23rd.
According to the outside of my house, summer is in full swing
According to outside it has been summer sense last winter, so that isn’t a good way to tell. go by the dates much easier and less sound like an asshole.
There you go, I corrected your spelling for you. I hope that doesn’t sound too assholeish
Oh the irony.
Did someone say discourse? I heard from a friend of a friend’s neighbor there’s discourse in the Xen thread.
I’m in Texas, does that mean that the Xen Update could come any day no matter what time of year?
devs y have u r remaining silent on the issue
…I’m confused
JohnWorfin wanted news about Xen because it’s summer “according to the outside of his house”, despite it not technically actually being summer.
By that logic, Crypt, who lives in Texas, should be entitled to Xen news because the consistent weather in Texas is comparable to a temperate climate’s definition of summer.
That came off as slightly condescending, but I just have fun explain stuff in detail.
