VALVE CUT CONTENT V2+1: Digging through Valve's trash since 2003! - Games

[QUOTE=ToyokaX;52739120]Since Gearbox kinda copied the end boss from Opposing Force into the first Borderlands game, I wonder if there is some cannon that links the two game universes together in some way. Valve's and Gearbox's heads are good friends after all. They knew each other since the beginning of both their companies. Would be pretty neat if the Borderlands universe was somehow connected to the Half-Life universe. Now that I think about it, they both are sort of set in a world full of alien creatures and war-torn mayhem, although HL is set in a more serious tone than Borderlands of course.[/QUOTE] 2000 Gearbox is not the same Gearbox we have today.

[QUOTE=Gavitro;52737324]Sorry to digress the thread with an ages old topic - I won't be surprised if I get banned for "necroing" or something like that - but I really want to put this out here. A couple months ago, the NextBot source code leaked. Being the obsessive nerd I am over that system, I added a tutorial on how to implement it for Source SDK 2013 in Valve Developer Community, a couple weeks after the leak. Tonight I was browising through the old posts of this thread, and I happened to stumble across a brief discussion about the leak. It didn't occur to me before that using the code, and especially going as far as to [I]tell others how to use it[/I], was likely illegal on many grounds, but after hearing about how the code was probably under a strict NDA, I was horrified by the realization. I had been so excited about seeing the full code, that I neglected the morality of actually putting it to use. Just tonight, I completely scrubbed the VDC page and listed it as a candidate for deletion; I can only pray that the site's administrators understand my plea. I know for a fact, though, that I won't be able to fully undo the damage. The code is still out there, and it's likely that people who read my page are in the process of trying to utizilze the system for their own ends. I apologize from the bottom of my heart for contributing to this legal mess, it has been a huge responsibility of mine and I hope that the outcome doesn't get worse in the near future.[/QUOTE] I'm Giving a F**K a NDA Because we can get a leak code and if suppose Have Money I can buy a licence of any valve's code and make the ilegal code legal well i just saying(? maybe

This may seem like a tad bit of an odd question, but has anyone found any sort of reference to the skybox "sky_urb01?" The skybox is used frequently in quite a few of the older levels within the leak.

Well, damn, you know how to spoil a life. I know approximately where and from whom to take this rare skybox to its normal quality (.psd format). But she will be against this publication. Yes, all information is confidential, i waiting Valve and Faсepunch will be closed forever and losing legal rights. Many discovered this skybox, even VCC Discord fixed it. If you remember, but do not know which one, write here. OK?

I've sometimes seen [B]sky_urb01[/B] as the default skybox if none was defined for the map. For example, c5m1_waterfront_sndscape... other than that, nowhere else.

Because it's cool to be adamantly silent about things until someone just probes this general subject and now it's all spoiled and you have to confess in something, but really not confess but rather provoke. I'd rate this 'sickening' if there was such rating. For it is sickening how there are people who just enjoy keeping stuff to themselves, and not even stuff they made, but stuff they collected through some super secret means (which oh yeah, mean years of social engineering and building super important connections, all with null goal). If you make something from scratch and you wanna keep the ungrateful parasites from using it, that's cool, but if you just have exclusive Valve content and decide to keep it, what's the point. Unless this person is the original artist who made the skybox? Which is doubtful. Also you seem to be confusing sky_urb with that super old Hyper skybox.

It'd be nice if you could stop being cryptic and contribute meaningfully for once. Being cryptic is one thing, but being cryptic AND barely having a grasp on English just makes everything you say almost completely unintelligible.

[QUOTE=BenjaminTennison;52748836]We Are Number One But QWERTERBERRY Discusses Nonsensical Things[/QUOTE] The forum itself is meaningless and subject values. Why create forums for communication, rather than solving serious problems that can solve the problems of many people. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions of people living in this world. The world is rolling, where we did not want to go. It is growing every day hack-work, illiteracy, disorder, trash, ignorance, carelessness. Only money, only power over all, only hardcore. People do not want to think, people want to have fun - the humiliation of another brother and sister. We are one race living in this planet. Race killing their own, just for pleasures and obsessions. We go only for illusion (dream, hallucination, delusion, fantasy, phantasm, phantom, desire), we do not need reality (people often hate themselves, do not correspond to their own realities, society and the outside world is much more influential than we are at it, often get lost and do not find ourselves, make mistakes that will never be corrected, destroy all the others, pull out a long routine, everyone suffers from you - self capable of holding a grudge for a lifetime).

You know, I'll almost miss him, in a strange way. He seemed to at least be genuinely interested and want to give his own piece on things in regards to cut content, even if he was a bit... "off"

thank god he's finally gone... we are free from his perpetual torment.
