What do you guys reckon? After playing for so long all these little changes makes it feels odd - pressing tab to look at scores looks too 'busy' now i reckon... havent played it too much yet - cant get into my regular server because I'm guessing Game Arena hasnt updated their servers with the new CSS stuff yet.

Oh and when you press F10 it doesnt close the whole game down straight away anymore - it actually ask you if you want to quit now... damn cant trick n00bz anymore :verymad:

I noticed my PC chugging like an animal @ 4am this morning and my net slowed... fking big update it was too!

Took me a good 10mins to D/L it i think

I've not actually played it yet - i will have a look over the w/e.

I'll ask my bro what he thinks given he lives on the game haha, he might have more opinion!

will have to check this update

theres a massive sale on steam atm

This has completely ruined the game... It will also ruin competition. I liked it as what it was before. And I'm pretty sure 80-90% of the CS:S community agree.

thought they still used cs 1.5/1.6 for proper comps?

^ you need better internets :)

Care to elaborate for us that are perhaps not that indepth? :laugh:

I've put a fair bit of time into it today... its alright but I like it before - more simple. They've made things seems a bit gimmicky - e.g. achievments, MVP, score board looks too busy etc etc...

I jumped on last weekend, why isn't there any gungame servers anymore?

The new Source engine doesn't understand the current metamod plugins, which include sourcemod. Source mod is needed to make these "mods" run. (GG, DM ect.) That's why you can sometimes see Node servers having no time limits with some people having 200+ kills.

It's like trying to run a 64bit program in a 32bit OS.

thought they still used cs 1.5/1.6 for proper comps?

They use 1.6 for the world leagues. It still doesn't mean Source cannot have its own competitions. Cevo is an online organisation who hosts ladders and comps, in which, they include the game CS: Source. (And a hell of a lot of other games, Including on XBOX360!) Even CEVO's CS:S matches are not able to run because they rely on source mod to keep everything in order.

But yes, 1.6 is still the preferred competition game when choosing between 1.6 and Source.

Care to elaborate for us that are perhaps not that indepth? :)

Surely, just don't kill me for my tripple post... D:

You may or may not know, But australia's version of CSS is now censored along with germany. This means, No blood, and when you kill someone, they kneel down, lay down on their belly with their hands on their head. (Surrendering, Shown in the link below)

The player list overlay (when you press TAB) is now a lot more busy, A lot of players usually hold TAB and play at the same time (or even for a few seconds), now with it soo busy, the playerlist covers most of the screen (ie. You can't really have it on and still be able to see what's going on)

Now all the popup stuff, get an achievement, get your screen blocked, get killed. Kill 4 people, get MVP, and die by the 5th person, (ie. in a competition, the round ends, but there is still 2-3 seconds where you are still able to run around, you CAN still die and loose your gun, and have no money afterwards depending on which team won)

IMHO this update was NOT NEEDED. Yes maybe the update would be good for the server side letting the core being able to run on more than 2 cores, but that's it... Graphics aren't that much different, Useless crap. Counterstrike was made purely for shoot, kill, respawn. THATS IT. It IS a pure FPS. No extras. And valve decides to kill it adding crap which makes the gameplay for other people worse. 1.6 is still going really strong, why? Because they didn't add crappy achievements like they did in Counter Strike: Condition Zero. Player figures show that 1.6 is easily more popular than CS:CZ. Why? The extra crap... People play this game just for its simpleness.

A lot of players have stopped playing because of this update... Valve's to blame.

PS. Some people might not have the censor, I don't know why. But its luck... ;)

Hope that kind of cleared things up. I'm not that good in writing.. >.>

    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too
