Stupid Error and some questions

[The Man In Black]

The problem doesn't lie with Half-Life. The problem lies with your SteamID, or lack thereof.

When you legitly do this setup, you get a SteamID, though you may not see it yourself. The chests are broken because they depend on the player having a valid SteamID to be counted, and, since you don't, you aren't getting counted as a legal player, and are getting an error message saying such.

Kinda curious.. What happens when you go to your console (while on a server) and type 'status' >_>

Satisfied? So..anything wrong?

 

[The Man In Black]

Yeah. It's definitely your SteamID to blame. I suppose, if Thothie wants, we could make yours compatible, but like I said, I don't intend to deal with every other error that comes up becuase you don't legally own Half-Life.

Dude the problem is not the money....Its my last year in school,ive got many many exams and prom....If i buy the game,i know what will happen....Ill totaly stop studying,playing all day...BFF...i know myself ;(
So i prefer playing alone or only with my friend ,being sure that in a month or less or..more ...i'll be able to stop,and if i play with many people,raiding bosses,making duels and stuffs...it will be hard...
So please Man In Black & Thothie...make my SteamID compatible..please..!

QFE.

I'm not sure if we can even do it, as that may be the same prefix bots use. You're going to solve a lot of problems by just having the game. You're going to quickly find that a lot of things in the game only really work in multiplayer, such as chests that don't have good items unless you're playing in a group, or maps that are too hard for one person to manage.

 

[Thothie]

If that was the case though... It'd discount him as a player - not count him as extra bot players. I've no mechanism in the script to detect 0 players, only to detect multiple bots. It shouldn't respond to a single bot - and I don't see anything there that'd make him think he was a bot.

I personally would *like* to have *some* effort to be compatible outside Steam, because, in addition to my seething resentment over all the pain Steam has caused me over the years, and that the last thing I want to see my work on MSC to accomplish is to give Valve more money - I suspect the day is not all that far away when Steam will make some stupid pointless change in the system that destroys MSC forever.

The Steam Community update, that makes the game think everyone who has a Steam Community profile is named "Unnamed" - and renames chatbots and certain NPC's very nearly did just that. We're on the very edge of compatibility, and the slightest push could send us off into oblivion.

Sadly, we lack both the manpower and the knowhow to convert the system to WON2 or anything of the like. If someone can get one of their hackers to help us on that score, I'm more than eager to meet with them.

The error pops up if the treasure chest count is more than game.players. game.players doesn't count him because his AuthID starts with VALVE_ instead of STEAM_. 1 > 0, therefore crash with that error >_>

 

[Thothie]

Hmm twue... Well that's fixable... I suspect it is not wise to have the player counter require that player ID's start with Steam, as there are a few other situations you can get into where that is not the case.

 

[The Man In Black]

You're going to want to verify that bots don't have the VALVE_ prefix, as I have a feeling they do.

 

[Thothie]

Normally bot's are ID'd "BOT" or "UNKNOWN" - but there's other, more effective ways, to detect bots that should already be in the code.

 

[The Man In Black]

True...

 

[Thothie]

Twew.

 

[The Man In Black]

I'll harm you.

 

[Thorius]

So does this mean,u can stop this error?Please

Honestly, buy the game. We all have lives that require money and time. Your problem is that you can't manage your time and are making excuses. If you want to do well at the end of grade 12 and the future you should grow up.

 

[The Man In Black]

Yes, we can fix the error, but, unless Thothie has a build that he thinks is ready to go out, it will be Feb. 1st.

The *ahem* "most mature" thing to do would be to have patience, wait for the patch to come out, BUY the game, play it and enjoy thine self, then realize you've wasted too many hours and continue on with "life,"

Us? Oh, well...we have no lives. That is why we play. The rest is just the Army and Marine Corps.
