<+valve-chris> next week we start on new terrain code
<eR[Lux]> iv read almost every tib bit of info released by interviews, but there is little talk of the net code
<Hostile17> just sitting at ur desk and chattign on IRC
<Buster-> valve-chris - wut you do :o :O
* SO|Flagpole|SWG is now known as SO|Flagpole|Showerbating
<eR[Lux]> has it been improved in hl2?
<+valve-chris> the old stuff is pretty buggy
<@spacer> we've done something funny with the netcode
<+valve-chris> it still needs to be improved
<@spacer> force feedback <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
<+valve-chris> ...
<@spacer> so you hit a bump in the car and you bounce in your seat
<@spacer> its really realistic
<+valve-chris> force feedback was an easy process
<@spacer> trust me man
<@spacer> you dont wanna get shot in the head
<@spacer> d'biah eng found that out
* Argyll is now known as Argyll|dod
<@spacer> it took WEEKS to clean THAT up
<Hostile17> heh
<Hostile17> "you're on brain detail"
<+valve-chris> yes but we also found significant bugs between the force feedback and thrustmaster controllers
<@spacer> yeah
<+valve-chris> sometimes the vibration unit would actually break through the plastic
* Legionnaired has joined #halflife2
<@spacer> yeah, it was kinda messed up
<@spacer> eletrocutions and stuff
<Hostile17> that's not possible, the joysticks would be designed to prevent that
<+valve-chris> electric shock
<Hostile17> they would have a hardware limit to stop such events
<Hostile17> *hardwired
<@spacer> hos: nah, the thrustmaster ones sucked
<+valve-chris> it was because of the game bugs Hostile17
<Hostile17> game bugs or not, you cant program a force-feedback controller to give TOO much feedback, it would have a limit you cant pass
<@spacer> hey man
<+valve-chris> you would think...
<@spacer> we created a realistic shading routine for TEETH
<@spacer> for TEETH!
<@spacer> so dont say we can do TOO much of anything
<Hostile17> how are Alyx teeth? Minty?
<Hostile17> game bugs or not, you cant program a force-feedback controller to give TOO much feedback, it would have a limit you cant pass

<@spacer> for TEETH!
<@spacer> so dont say we can do TOO much of anything
<Hostile17> how are Alyx teeth? Minty?

<@spacer> nah actually

<@spacer> yeah, it was kinda messed up
<@spacer> eletrocutions and stuff
<Hostile17> that's not possible, the joysticks would be designed to prevent that

<Hostile17> they would have a hardware limit to stop such events
<Hostile17> *hardwired
<@spacer> hos: nah, the thrustmaster ones sucked
<+valve-chris> it was because of the game bugs Hostile17
<Hostile17> game bugs or not, you cant program a force-feedback controller to give TOO much feedback, it would have a limit you cant pass
<@spacer> hey man
<+valve-chris> you would think...
<@spacer> we created a realistic shading routine for TEETH
