fuck this shit bro its 3 am

Wouldn't mind releasing it whether or not this video is fully released. It mostly covers S11/i46/S12 to whatever degree he knew to his best memory. But it was different in that rather it being a live interview, I sent a bunch of questions (at the time Blizzard had shut down OWL, which he was working for) and he answered whatever he knew best from the list of questions I sent in video format

Progress is slow in the video but I'm hoping we can finish it at some point. The project isn't dead but Denver really halted momentum on the project. Trying to pickup the pieces though and get it jumpstarted again

Looks like this has been a known issue within AC a while (at least, the stem of the issue which is the sv_pure bypass portion with a preloader).

From the Github post by cukei there was an attempt at trying to prevent the bypass by having the mapmakers run through this python script cukei created, which would have authenticated the map files using MD5 verification. Ultimately it would allow sv_pure to work as intended for attempted visual modifications. If I'm wrong and someone has better input on what has been attempted behind the scenes feel free to correct me

Aww bummer

Issue transferred already per the Github by a Valve Employee

I have no idea if we'll ever get around to finishing this so here lol
