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 followup on the first tutorial I did (which isn't Episode 0!) by highlighting some additional specifiers, like %a and %x, that can be used to print information while also showcasing how to print coloured messages to the developer console. Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!
