Friday reading

[CSN NewsBot]

Hey, guys! I'm off to go catch a late showing of Spider-Man (late being 9:10 PM, I'm such a loser). To those who are staying in (or just got back), a lot of stuff in the CS community has been "going down" this week, as the kids would say. It would be very, very easy to miss some of the content we've posted in the last few days. Let's recap:

• on monday we posted an exclusive interview with davej, the creator of dust. as per usual, we stick away from the cliched questions. this is davej's first interview in over a year.
  
  
  
  
• on tuesday we posted our members only calendar for may, 2002. i still don't know if it's supposed to be "members' only" or just "members only." perhaps some of you fancy college folk could tell me in the comments.
  
  
  
  
• yesterday we posted an interesting look at counter-strike's gameplay and popularity in deep impact. let me be the first to say that i hate reading the same thing at different sites, so i really dislike cliched articles. mr bond's article, however, is pretty unique and raises some interesting and thought-provoking questions.

Tomorrow I'll be posting a new mailbag. Things on the coding side of the site have slowed down to some more boring activities. This mainly means fixing current items and just making the site look more clean. For example, I wasted a good hour making a new login form. More exciting changes, however, will come soon.



Most of the todo list looks boring, but a few items stand out. Can't really spoil anything, but let's just say that a few promises from 6 months ago will come true.



Bonus to CS-Nationalists: you guys will no longer see those small button ads. Banner ads are required by our host, however. The removal of those button ads means a bit faster loading time, but generally it's just a small annoyance that is now averted. Thanks again for your generous donations.

[gobd]

[xeolite]

I bet it'll only last me a few months at the most though.

members'

= belonging to

members

= belonging to



"'" is rarely used.

thx.

[mac32mac]

it would be "members" not "members' "



"members' ", would made it sound like "memberseses", u get the idea

I want Counter-Crap back. Or at least post the old Flashes so we can d/l them.

[Dirk]

Yes, Counter-Crap was very enjoyable.



-dp-

[Sonus]

Yah! What happened to Counter-Crap :-/

[Solid Snake 88]

The guy who ran it (SecurityGuard) stopped updating and rizzuh took it down when CSN got the new layout.



C-Crap had the best Flashes, many of them better than CS Toons.

My favs were Vroom Vroom Squish Squish and Counter-Fantasy. But some of the other ones were so stupid they were funny.

I had this same problem.

1. Take whatever model you want to replace and get it's name (ex. "p_ak47.mdl")

2. Then take your replacement model and rename it that.

3. Put your new model into the cstrike\models folder (or wherever your old one was) and replace it!

In 1.4 they made it so the v_ model is automatically mirrored over to the side you want. Eliminating the need for a v_x_r model.



To get your custom skins to be on the right side, take the custom v_x_r model and rename it to v_x. Then type cl_righthand 1 in the console.



BTW x = model name

Hey speaking of movies does anyone else have their Episode 2 tix? I'm ready for the 12:01am showing...and it's even in the middle of finals week.



BTW I'd say go with "members", w/o the apostrophe, because you're trying to describe a group or category of people as opposed to denoting ownership.
