any addons from the past that you are missing now?
Probably tons I can't remember. I just browsed a folder of old stuff I have sitting on a CD of mostly personal and Ulysses stuff.
Here's one that might cause Megiddo's memory to perk up - Cause and Effect
It had more potential than I ever used, but basically, allowed complete (or at least almost) control of Source's input/output system for entities.
Think wire inputs/outputs, but using Source controls, and in Gmod 9 when all items were server side. Long before wire was probably a dream in the original author's mind.
Just went looking through the old v1 release forums. (Wow, forgot some of that stuff too.)
I remember user 'Golden-Death' having some pretty nice fun scripts of various stuff.
Shame he decided to stop coding here.
Of all the stuff there, I could imagine a new redone 'Find player' script. I'm thinking with all the advancement of Glua, not just an arrow that goes towards the player, but an actual 'square' or 'circle' texture of some sort, that only you see by default, that leads you to the player you as an admin are looking for. Up/around walls, whatever.
One dream I never saw Megiddo complete for various reasons, Ulysses Universe.
A lua project that would allow maps with spherical/3d shaped globes in an environment, and allow the player to walk around that shape with the center of gravity being internal to that shape. It had many reasons it fell the wayside, a big chunk of that the Source engine just not being made for more than one gravity source.
All I can relate to is the hey day of hacking the first iphone, there are a few apps that I wish I could still get/use!
You darn kids.
Get off my lawn.
