We have no media. Well we have stuff done but nothing that is "media" quality. We are recruiting people like modlers so we can have peopple help us get some media and spark some attention. Half-Strike is completely unkown so thats why Im trying to get the word out there. Also I am on mod DB.

I don't get the point of this tutorial.

No matter what any one tells you people DO have windows Vista. You can download it only if you are a MSDN subsriber though. It is mainly to test programs on the new OS.

Well I'll say this is definatly an interesting topic.

Well the topic says it all. Who got the Xbox 360? I didn't but I'm trying desperatly.

I really recommend StopZilla! It is a great spyware/ adware program that is very powerful. I got adware then I installed StopZilla. Restarted my comp. 4 Malicious Applications were cought and deleted on startup.

Description:

Half-Strike is a Half Life 2 mod, that takes pace in a post-apoctaclyptic future similar to the environment that is seen in the regular game. After raiding an underground labratory, our character John Graves is teleported to this dismal future, but only so that he may possibly redeem his dismal past.

Preface:

 

    "My name is John Graves, and my story is full of *BLEEP* i don't understand, nor like to talk about. An ex-green berae, i was disbarred from the army because of a mistake that cost the lives of my men...and the "honor of my country", but after all that i went through after what happened in Afghanistan, i knew that it was those men's life was all that mattered. The rest, was all bull *BLEEP*.

 

    They were all dead, and as far as i was concerned so was I. Shortly after my marriage failed and I never saw my wife again. I can't say that I blame her, what i had become up until "it" happened, was something dispicable.

 

    I became involved with a secret group of mercenaries, one that would work for the highest bidder and always had it's eyes on ex-navy seals, or other special ops members. It was a strange existance while it lasted, the thing was that way more than half the time...i didn't know who our client or clients were. So it felt as though I was a killer without cause...or effect for that matter. Taking lives, pulling the trigger, fulfilling a duty? what did it matter? The money was good...but i didn't want it. A dead man, makes no living.

 

    But that all changed when I was selected for an exclusive job one that was filed under "Category : 0", because it was considered extremely dangerious and casualties were "guranteed". I felt that dentiny was calling me and that my fate lied in this mission...i though that it would be death, but i was wrong.

 

    -We had an unusually long briefing, the man who never showed his face to his mercenaries was not the only once present, but their was some old guy in a suit who talked rather funny, said he was a representative of the company we'd be working for....I should have known I was in for trouble when he looked at me with that strange gaze. He seemed to be saying, "John...it wasn't your fault, you'll get your chance at redemption."

 

    When i heard the name of the company we'd be hitting...the world around me dissappeared, thier was no sound, their were no other people, it was just me and that logo on the projection screen. "Keystone Labs. Where the future is made". What an ironic slogan...these *BLEEP*s would pay big for what they did to me.

 

    ....it was them that had made the experimental equipment we were using in the field...siesmic percussion sensors and an advanced directed energy weapon that used something called "Interphased EMP" valued by special ops because they left behind no bullets, shell casings and had several distinct advantages over conventional arms...but my confidence was misplaced in this new technology. So when pushed came to shove, those men with their AK's and Dragonovs got the best of me and my men. Of course we had our side arms...but their only so much a man can do with an M9.

 

    We were told that in the deep levels we'd be infultrating, they had no solid intel about the locations layout or exact function...we were given special equipment and told. "you'll be equipped with cameras on your helmits and will record informatin for up to 6 hours straight, and "decoders" that should be able to link with any digital devices you find...get as much information as possible, and capture any hardware. We don't know what kind of security they have....don't worry about them flooding the labs with gas or nerve agents, we have another team that'll strike at the ventelation system."

 

    Shortly after, we loaded up and were on our way..."Keystone Labs" lie in wait.

This was my first tutorial EVER!

Please comment

Well of cource... im new lol. I was referred by maddog so hello.

I just started C++ programming but I understand it a lot!You should use the free bloodshed C++ Program just search google for it.So the tut:Here is the code you will be makingCODE// C++ Tutorial// First C++ Script#include <iostream>using namespace std;int main(){ cout << "Hello World! I'm new to C++ Coding!" << endl;int nothing;cin >> nothing;return 0;}So lets say what this means!CODE// C++ Tutorial// First C++ ScriptThis is a comment line. This when compiled will NOT get put into the programming. This is just for humans who look at the script. I will use these a lot in further tutorials. You can also do /* C++ Tutorial */. This is the exact same thing EXCEPT you can write everything in between and it will comment it. Just don't forget to close the comment or your whole script will become a comment!Next:CODE#include <iostream>using namespace std;This states that I'm including iostream which is something you will need in most programs! You can do the same for files likeCODE#include <hello.h>Which will include the OUTSIDE file hello.h! The next line isCODEusing namespace std;What this says is that I am USING the NAMESPACE std! std is defined in <iostream> so that's why we had to include it. There is a longer way to write this script but we want to teach the EASY way!After:CODEint main()THIS IS SOOOOOOOO IMPORTANT! No program can work without this! This starts the script! With out this NO program would work!The fun part:CODE{ cout << "Hello World! I'm new to C++ Coding!" << endl;Now I had one thing in here that should be in the line int main() description but I'm going to put it here. So the "{" is very important! This tells the program what is in int main()! If ya don't include this again your prog won't work! The same goes for at the end of the script but I'll get to that later.Well so here is the main event! Now you have made the initiation and we can get to the code!CODEcout << "Hello World! I'm new to C++ Coding!" << endl;This is the actuall program! cout is defined in std which is defined in iostream which is defined in the initial C++ coding! The << is saying that the following stuff needs to go into the cout script! "Hello World! I'm new to C++ Coding!" is what will echo on the screen. << again is saying that the stuff before it should enter it. So when you enter << endl you are saying end the line. And at the end of every statement you need a semi colon to tell it to end!What we have covered so far!CODE// C++ Tutorial// First C++ Script#include <iostream>using namespace std;int main(){ cout << "Hello World! I'm new to C++ Coding!" << endl;So the first 2 lines are comments not executed by the program! The next line includes iostream! The next says that we are going to use the namespace std which is defined in iostream. Then the int main() tells the script to start. The { tells whats in the script. cout is defined in the namespace std which is, as I said, defined in iostream. The << tells the stuff after it and before the next one to be executed in the cout. "Hello World! I'm new to C++ Coding!" is what is printed on the screen because it was put into cout. << endl; ends the line and tells that the statement has ended too!Now C++ is so fast it will execute the script and then INSTANTLY close it.To stop this I didCODEint nothing;cin >> nothing;I'm not going to to into what this means in this tutorial but maybe by the next tutorial I will explain it. Include this in your program just to make sure you don't have that problem!Le End:CODEreturn 0;}This is also VERY IMPORTANT! The return 0; says that the script is over and return the code. Also remember that the ; ends the statement.The } is the same as the { right after the int main() line. The int main() said that the script was to start. The { says that this is the begining of what is to be executed in the int main() line and the } says that everything in the int main() script is over and the program is done!Well I've covered EVERY detail in depth!Hope you liked this tutorial! And if ya liked it I hope you'll register on my new coding site when it gets up! Any comments? Just post em here. Did I screw up? Post em here! Is there a bug in your prog that you can't find? POST IT HERE!Cya everyone,Megahalo
