Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
In terms of the scale of things I started work on scaling down models and player sizes, it got to a point where it was working, but the only problem was I'm not a programmer, just a code hacker.
If IS05 for HL2 is going to get anywhere then a). Michael Siebert needs to organise the team better and b). they need an experienced coder.
There was one guy I knew who was a HL Coding God (anyone ever play on the TFC SillyZone / Vipers SillyZone server? You'll know what I'm talking about) but sadly real life took over and he stopped programming for games altogether.
