[QUOTE=Sokrates;26618752]Won't people be able to exploit this by putting java drive-by's?[/QUOTE] No, Source has Java disabled. [editline]12th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Legend286;26634154]No, Source has [b]Java[/b] disabled.[/QUOTE]
Any servers utilizing this yet?
Kay, just let people make it so there are shock images.Thanks PieClock, people without addons on servers with gigantic assloads of addons downloading the addons in the server load will now be forced to watch shock videos and can't close it worth anything!
Ugh, valve gave us the option to disable all html pages in all of their source games. I don't know why we need to be forced to see the server owners webpage before joining it... [editline]11th December 2010[/editline] Also, this might not be a problem for people with like skulltrail motherboards and 32gb of ram and like 4 graphics and 4 ssd harddrives in raid 0 but for people with shitty computers that's one extra thing that needs to be loaded before joining a server... :saddowns:
I'm surprised so many people don't have enough favourited servers already that they have to worry about nasty loading screens.
[QUOTE=TurbisV2;26638610]I'm surprised so many people don't have enough favourited servers already that they have to worry about nasty loading screens.[/QUOTE] I have custom gamemodes and my friend's servers on my favorites. If I want sandbox I just find a server with a map and players to my liking.
[QUOTE=proch;26628307]Aren't the "cancel"s in almost every source game only a drawing :v:[/QUOTE] They might as well be.
[QUOTE=PieClock;26626587]I don't understand why someone would buy a server then use something like these that WILL make you quit from their server. What's the point in buying a server if that's all you're going to do with it?[/QUOTE] There is a shit ton of assholes out there who plan on doing this exact thing. You might not notice it. But others do.
Garry, there really isn't any point in this if it ain't broken, don't fix it
Winning attitude
[QUOTE=Killowatt;26673894]Garry, there really isn't any point in this if it ain't broken, don't fix it[/QUOTE] That doesn't apply to this, as this is a new feature.
It isn't finished yet. You're looking at the SVN version.
[QUOTE=Killowatt;26673894]Garry, there really isn't any point in this if it ain't broken, don't fix it[/QUOTE] My ability to build in sandbox isn't broken; but I can always improve it.
[QUOTE=timgames;26618979]A live feed of the server in-game :keke:[/QUOTE] i do believe that would increase loading times since alot of your bandwidth would go to streaming video
So the fancy icons are gone? :( I like the idea, if it gets polished and a good motd is on it will be great, but I can tjink of so many ways which it may just look fugly.
[QUOTE=Snapzies;26626894]I will now make a fake 120 slot server with a COD: Black Ops game mode that's actually just a 6 slot build server and has a beastiality load screen.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind it- I mean.. Gross.

If you don't intend to have any players, you could have many servers running off one computer for free (other than the price of the computer and internet connection).
So, what file must I exactly edit to change the loading url?
Has anyone encountered any of these "trolling" loading screens yet? Seems like a theory so far.
[QUOTE=Giacomand;26761845]Has anyone encountered any of these "trolling" loading screens yet? Seems like a theory so far.[/QUOTE] Went on random server. Goaste. Switch servers. Meastpin. :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Giacomand;26761845]Has anyone encountered any of these "trolling" loading screens yet? Seems like a theory so far.[/QUOTE] You and a few others don't seem to understand. The functionality to very effortlessly load a shock website has already existed for years. [lua] h = vgui.Create("HTML") h:SetPos(0, 0) h:SetSize(ScrW(), ScrH()) h:OpenURL("http://www.nimp.org") [/lua] Congratulations an unclosable shock website to deter players from your server. [QUOTE=Amaurus;26763313]Went on random server. Goaste. Switch servers. Meastpin. :saddowns:[/QUOTE] No you didn't. Notfunny x 1. [editline]18th December 2010[/editline] Also, I agree with the notion that the "files to be downloaded" function still exist in some way so we know what is being downloaded.
I'll just join this TTT server... "ONE TWO THREE I WANT BIG BOOTY BITCHES BIG BOOTY BITCHES WHAAAA." I cried with the laughter
