More of the content added

I have been very busy converting the old site into the new site and adding bits as I go. Check it out.

I will be adding a guide to using GameSpy3D soon, a guided to improving your multiplayer experience and lots more... Stay tuned.

ADSL

BT [British Telecom] have launched a new site, it had a security breach when it first opened a couple of weeks ago... so I didn't post news about it then. The following is part of an e-mail I got from admin at BT:

"For a short period yesterday a hidden area of the BTopenworld site holding
the details that you registered was accessed by a limited number of
unauthorised persons. I am writing to apologise to you for this breach in security.

I would like to assure you that as soon as the problem was identified, we
took immediate steps to secure the site.

We are writing to those people identified as having accessed this hidden
area to get written confirmation that they have not copied, used or passed your
details to any other person and will delete or destroy all copies of this
information.

I can confirm that we are undertaking a full and thorough investigation to
ensure that breaches of this nature do not happen again.

Once again our sincere apologies."

http://www.btopenworld.com go and have a look if you want to get ADSL or want to know exactly what is on offer. For people who don't know what DSL or ADSL is check it too! 500K Whoooo!

Half-Life version 1.1.0.0 and SDK 2.0

Just heard from Harry Teasley at Valve, that the Half-Life patch 1.1.0.0 & SDK 2.0 should be with us by the end of next week. Whoo. I can't wait... as far as I say it is going to be a lot sweeter. It's going to be quite a big patch. [25M]. I'm not sure I'm allowed to say any more...

Today...

I will be doing lots with the site... getting the tutorials sorted out and finishing the WorldCraft guides... Look out for them in the next few days.

WorldCraft Section Updated

I have been working very hard to get the rest of the WorldCraft Section on-line... I have changed quite a bit and added loads of stuff. Basically if you want to get into mapping; take a look.

The compile section isn't up yet but you will need time to read through the content I have added. I should have that ready for the end of tomorrow if not before.

HLCU Tutorials

I have had some good ideas for tutorials. I would like to know what people want to know about. Mail me and put forward your ideas.

You can imagine that mod developers are running around like mad to get there mods up to version 1.1.0.0 so bear with them as they bring us up-to-speed on there mods.

Reviews

I hope to get some time to take apart the latest mods, then put together some reviews on them... It should be soon, within the next week or too!

Links

I have added some more mod links if you want to go check 'em.

WorldCraft on HLCU

As you know I have been make guides for people, so they can get into the wonderful world of mapping... I have based them on WorldCraft 2.1. I will be keeping these and writing a new set guides for WorldCraft 3.3. More on that soon...

WorldCraft 3.3

I have just been asked to beta test WorldCraft 3.3 by Valve. I will be mapping for a couple of days to see what WorldCraft 3.3 is like. Find any bugs and get 'em reported before the release.

Wonderful British Telecom!

BT, cut my line off, as you can see for 3 whole days! It was a fault at their exchange! Damn. Anyway... I have comms again!
