I removed "Server: If you leave a server online on a certain map for roughly 12-24 hours straight, it begins using 100% CPU." since http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=363697 seemed to corroborate my theory that this is just another symptom of the well-known vphysics bug. --Bloodykenny 16:17, 12 Nov 2005 (PST)

Porting / Code warnings

Perhaps I should make a new page for the -Wall stuff... this list could get enormous. Valve desperately needs to Lint their codebase.

How do you just upload a file to wiki? I have a patch for tons of little fixes, but it's so enormous it seems silly to paste it into a webpage. Or, maybe since a lot of these are just search/replace I should describe the fixes that way...

Jeff Lane had reported that for legal reasons only specific file uploads will be allowed.
Google for any of the free file hosting sites and then link to the files. --wisemx 05:55, 2 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Well, I've got places I could host it, but it'd sure be suboptimal, cause then no one else could edit it. Sort of defeats some of the wiki usefulness.

I uploaded the first pass to a file host site - hopefully the file won't get deleted or anything. (The patch is only 9110 lines long, no biggie!) --Bloodykenny 09:55, 16 Oct 2005 (PDT)

That hosting site apparently had a drive failure, but I've re-uploaded the file. Too bad this !@#$ wiki won't take files.

Stun baton

Issue: Doing a 360 quickly with the Stun Baton as your active weapon causes the screen to flash white

I can't reproduce this. Even if I could, it sounds a lot like a gfx card issue. --TomEdwards 23:55, 19 Jul 2005 (PDT)

I believe it has something to do with the glow that the stun baton generates on the end of the stick. Several others have reproduced it... Bloodykenny 00:58, 20 Jul 2005 (PDT)

This has been fixed in HL2:DM, so hopefully an SDK fix will be announced at some point. --Bloodykenny 10:28, 15 Sep 2005 (PDT)

Server: CreateEvent: event 'break_prop' not registered

Well finding them is the trick isn't it. If you know any specifics, post them. --Bloodykenny 10:28, 15 Sep 2005 (PDT)

The first "Note:" line says "threat"... I'm guessing from the context that "fret" would be what the writer meant? I dare not change it, though, without being sure of the intended meaning. --Spektre1 23:10, 4 Nov 2005 (PST)

Downcasting

This page isn't about teaching people to code. Should the definition and uses of downcasting be included here? —Maven (talk) 19:30, 6 Nov 2005 (PST)

  • Well alot of people that will be useing the page have no idea what downcasting is (Such as my self, i have been programming for 2 1/2 years, and never heard of it) --Amckern 19:39, 6 Nov 2005 (PST)
How about just linking to a site that explains it? —Maven (talk) 20:09, 6 Nov 2005 (PST)
Or, better yet, making a Wikipedia article on the subject and linking to that. —Maven (talk) 20:11, 6 Nov 2005 (PST)

I linked to a site that discusses downcasting for now. Didn't find a wiki on it, but if someone finds/creates one all the better. I definitely don't want this to turn into a how-to coding guide, but I added a brief justification of why you'd want to do such a patch.
