equk's place on the web

I recently saw these on offer so bought 2

They normally cost around £20 each so I thought why not as I have some old laptops which I wanted to cover.
I bought a 15″ one and a 17″ one but they seem very small and didn’t fit my laptop as they seem to be designed specifically for macbook/macbook pro.

I had to do a bit of overlapping with the edges but it doesn’t look too bad.
The 3M adhesive is really nice, you can get bubbles out really easily and even remove the skin (altho it sticks pretty solid)

I’m not sure what to do with the 17″ one as I’m pretty sure it won’t fit on a 17″ laptop.

Since the orangebox update there have been numerous bugs, lots of them are exploitable & some are being kept secret.

There is a huge bug at the moment since the last 3 updates where you can double tap on certain weapons giving you an advantage. On some weapons it causes huge recoil and also for people who do multiple double/triple bursts in matches it just messes up the recoil now whereas before you could do proper timed bursts for headshots.

There are also bugs with sniper zoom/accuracy/movement (allowing people to run while scoped) & a known bug where nades can do more damage (exploitable as it’s not random).

Here is a video from youtube showing the AWP/Scout doubletap (yes both shots can register hits so it’s not clientside only).

The doubletap bug comes from the updates released on  23/07/2010.
An update came out today but does nothing to stop it.

As some people have probably noticed, I have my own custom HUD which I use on counterstrike source.
The orangebox update broke this but after some re-coding last week it’s all working again now.

Features:
Larger icons (bomb/cart/ammo)
Clearer fonts on deathnotices (using outline)
Black HUD without transparency(making it easier to read)
Black/Green buymenu’s (easier to read)
New console with custom font and white/green text
Health flashes black/red when low on health

As most people have probably noticed, valve decided to release the orangebox update a few weeks ago even tho it still really seems like a BETA.

There seem to be a lot of bugs & some huge gaping holes for scripting/hax possibilities which some already are exploiting.

The main problem at the moment seems to be interp/lerp.
After looking on various discussions and sites it seems that people with a lower interp can have an advantage, especially when peeking corners.
If you are quick enough you can shoot someone without actually being seen.

One thing which could fix this is the addition of zBlock to force cl_interp to 0.01 (as it was before the patch). But as zBlock doesn’t yet work on the orangebox update, everyone has free reign over the value and as a result often people with 100ms+ ping can gain a advantage.

Server admins can allow clients to put cl_interp down to 0.01 by adding this to their server cfg

//server interp
sv_client_min_interp_ratio “0″
sv_client_max_interp_ratio “1″

The clients can then disable interp_ratio and put interp down (we all disabled this the first time around)

//client interp
cl_interp “0.01″
cl_interp_ratio “0″

There are a few good additions to the patch but they are vastly outweighed by the way the netcode seems broke due to so many variables being open for clients to change.
