I’ve been busy the last few weeks doing something that mainly geeks would love. I’ve been a beta tester for a new version of Mattie’s Event Scripts<\/a>. What is Event Scripts you might ask. The short answer is it’s a plugin for the Valve Source Engine, specifically for Counter Strike:Source. I’ve mentioned how I like playing Counter Strike in past posts. CS is a First Person Shooter(FSP) game where your character runs around a map shooting other peoples characters. I find it to be a good stress reliever after a hard day at work but mostly I enjoy the more geeky aspects of the game like building maps and making scripts that modify how the game is played.<\/p>\n

That’s where Mattie’s Event Scripts come into play. Using ES you can do all kinds of things to change the game like allow you to change weapons that the game normally doesn’t allow or tell other players when someone dies. In fact there are almost unlimited possibilities to change the game because the company that developed Half Life and Half Life 2(of which CS is a modification) made it so you have access to modify almost everything in the game.<\/p>\n

So Mattie created a new version of ES and he wanted some folks to beta test it before he released it to the public. That’s what I have been doing for about the last 3 weeks. Here’s a link<\/a> to the page where Mattie thanks the beta testers. You’ll notice at the end of the first post he lists them(us).<\/p>\n

So that’s what I’ve been up to and why you haven’t seen anything new here recently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
