Hello to those very few, who actually cares about this project. I haven't been active in this group for quite long time and there were different reasons for that. First of all, I basically forgot about it's existence while being busy with Null Core. Secondly... Well, I will be honest with you: I've grown up and completely lost the interest in making this project. First of all, the reason why it's been up for quite long time is because I was interested in self-education, learning about Source Engine and just having fun with friends. Unfortunately, people from RLS have turned away from 'using' this network, so I can't see any reason why I should keep it up and working on it. I was basically doing this whole thing for myself, not even for 'friends' and other people. I loved the game, I've had some really nice expectations about Valve and did believe that some day they would listen to the endless bugs I was reporting to them. However, Valve's reputation has been ruined once and for all in my eyes after they have community banned all my accounts bound to the certain hardware. The reason of that ban is basically.... they don't like me. Yes, Valve has turned into nazi camp where any employee can ban you if you make a joke of them, even if your account is something like $1000 worth, while their employees don't give a sh1t about you and your issues in either steam client or their games. The easiest example was when I asked their support about certain VR hardware issues, since Steam VR is their application, but only got their stock 'reinstall steam'. Then, being in despair, I've contacted Frontier Support and asked the same question, which is basically kinda unrelated to what they usually solve. To my surprise, they have answered within few hours, providing detailed instructions on how to fix my issue. This is kinda represents the relationship, ei? But, well, I went off topic. After certain events I have come to the point where I realized that I basically waste my time doing all this sh1t and trying to revive the community that has been dead since 2009, if not earlier. I expected that my work will be appreciated by the community and other project's owners, however the only thing we can get out of hl2dm community is cancer and wannabe pro players who set their lerp to 0.0151515151515 and then wonder why they can't hit for sh1t. Some of those re1ards set the tickrate to 1000 and then be like 'oh well, 1000 is worse than 66, then your 100 tick server is worse too!!!1' without providing any kind of weighty arguments, not to even mention Source-1-Games don't support rates higher than 100. I've given this community a chance, but they failed in accepting it. Even when I suggested making some really nice anticheat that I had on my server, they declined my offer, because all of them are just a bunch of self-asserted pr1cks. They still haven't made one themselves though. Went a bit off topic again. So, when I realized that the community is cancer and there's no possibility to grow up in there, I've decided to quit that dying game and switch onto something new, basically not staying at the same place. I've found a perfect 'job' with some really nice pay off, which is, again, Null Core. I don't really feel like I want to continue the development, nor to share my sources/content with anyone. (R.I.P. Dmitry Sergeevich, no paste for you anymore). It was fun while it lasted. It was gone, once my people turned away from me. Now you're left with nothing but memories.
