    We're British, we can use stereotypical British words as often as we wish. Now, stop distracting me from my tea and crumpets.

    I'm over half British and I never use spiffy. That word is old and out of style.

    True, but I still use words like 'fie and damnation' and 'blast it' as well as 'by jove' which is actually ancient greek in origin.

    Er, weren't they already? I thought it was a built in source feature.

    Nope was added recently with a patch to some orange box games, and it was released later in the source sdk, and that code was ported some weeks ago into the empires code base.

    R7, includes building smoke, for some reason my small smoke never shows up, can't remember if this is a bug or not, in the event that it starts showing up again I will complete the small smoke versions.

    I also need this performance testing, it lags like hell on tropicvendetta but so does everything including the map itself because tropicvendetta is a piece of shit, it should run fine on most maps, it runs on king and king is pretty resource intensive.

    I can't imagine what you could mean by that.

    Oh yes and do note that the thickness of the smoke is a good indicator of the damage level of the building, you can't make out individual plumes at a distance but the overall thickness does change.
