Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I showcase how you can add Battlefield/Call of Duty style hitmarkers into your Source mod. I also include some improvements to this feature that allow the hitmarkers to be displayed at the point where damage is inflicted while also adding hitnumbers. I have to give a massive thank you to Ferrety for making the original guide and to @WadDeIz_Real for the providing the code that improves this feature! Please let me know what you think and I will see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!

Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I demonstrate how to add Thexa4s PBR shader for the Source engine. Unfortunately, this only seems to be an UnlitGeneric version, plus I cannot tell you how to make textures that make use of this shader, so apologies for this! Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!

Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I introduce an alternative method for shader authoring and show how to get into a position to be able to compile custom shaders for your mod by using a modified compiler by SCell555. Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!

Hey everyone and welcome to another session of Matchmade Firefight games in Halo: Reach! I played the Halo: The Master Chief Collection version of 2 player Firefight for this video, with my brother James @eternalknuckles1993 though without his input. Consider the fact that from now on, I dont have a lot of control over what game modes and maps I play on for this series going forward. Please let me know what you think in the comments and Ill see you next time for whatever I decide to do next!
