Somehow missed this, but a new HL2 campaign mod out of nowhere by the name of Triage: http://www.moddb.com/mods/triage/news/triage-part-1#readarticle
Click to expand...

Oh, is this where I got a link to Triage? Must've been. It basically tries to make Half-Life 2 "epic" and scripted. In other words, the Call of Duty overtones are thick and annoying. It's got regenerating health, the works. And for however linear HL2 feels normally, this is literally just funneling you down a hallway with endless spawning enemies. But none of it is polished, and the voice acting is flat, and ugh. Bad bad bad. I do, however, like the feeling you occasionally get - they make you roll around with a pretty sizable squad of NPCs (8-10+) and you get in to these really huge battles with Combine dudes. If only everything else wasn't so bad.

--

On the flip side, linked here way back in November was a mod called "Black Snow". I played it for about two hours now and came away both pleased and frustrated as all get out.

The good: the atmosphere is incredible. Vibes of John Carpenter's The Thing are all over this, but it doesn't push itself as a direct ripoff. It has its own style and flavor that is really subtle and spooky. Enjoyably terrifying.

The bad: Puzzle design seems incredibly obtuse. On one hand I enjoy that it's all "logical" things and doesn't beat you over the head or make solutions too obvious, but the majority of the two hours I spent was running around in circles trying to figure out what it was that I missed. It does not help that the mod is DARK as hell and doesn't give you a flashlight - you can't even adjust the brightness settings in the options menu, because anything you set it to will just be reverted to a default brightness level.

I ended up turning on cheats and using mat_fullbright 1 and even then I had no idea where I was supposed to be going, and there's no walkthroughs or anything. Eventually the mod crashed during a map transition and I've given up for now.

Any mods for these. I want them for Half Life 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. For a more natural head movement.

Also any full body awareness mods? Trying to make this to games a bit more inmersive.

Underhell: Chapter 1 - Features Showcase Part 2

Covers the inventory system, object highlighting system, checkpoints, side content, weapon categorization, level design, artificial intelligence, and enhanced map scripting functions.

If you missed part 1, here you go.

Underhell Chapter 1 continues to sound crazy ambitious. I really hope they pull it off, because while it does sound super cool, I can imagine all of these systems running away with them a little bit. It'll be interesting to see how it all turns out.

This has long been something I've looked for as well, but alas, it's something one needs a sprinkling of code as I understand it. Mods with coders have gone to the trouble, but it's not really something you can just pick up a model swap for.

So no way then?

Another mod suggestionn.

Is there any mod to improve the visuals? I know Valve updated the Steam version with the effects present of the console release of Orange Box, but anything else to get better visuals?

Not that there's no way, it's just a matter of knowing a competent coder (they're really, really scarce).

FakeFactory's Cinematic mod is the most notable of the uprez mods, but they make a lot of questionable art and music changes toward that end. Very little is 1:1.

AH! don't get me wrong. "No way" in the sense that it seems there aren't any mods (or easy to apply ones) for weapon/cam bob control.

A full body awarness mod and an improved AI one would make this a brand new game for me. There aren't any AI ones btw?

Kind've a similar dilemma with the hands: competent coder is a requirement, and as far as I know their AI work would similarly be locked up into their own projects or team mods. It's also a bit complex on the AI front, given you have to also have a competent mapper to let the AI shine. HL2's own AI is pretty damned robust, but it isn't always given the right spaces.

Can anyone give me an explanation of how cl_bob and cl_bobup works? You know in terms of values.

I want to put as much bobing as possible in to the gun models. Don't like how the seem to float around so steady.

So I'd take it that 0.02, 0.03, and so on would introduce greater amounts of bob. Not sure if you can enable it in multi titles without cheats enabled, but should be moot if you're trying to change it in the codebase of your own mod.

Thanks for the reply Bo.

I did saw that video before hand, but it doesn't make any clear what values one might use or exactly what affects. I'll punch some values to see if i notice any difference.

What's the recomended FOV for 1920*1200 in half life 2? Options just let me go up to 90, so i assume there's a cvar that controls values beond that.

Code: 
sv_cheats 1;fov 100
into the console would grant you a fov of 100 degrees, but wouldn't take in a multiplayer game (unless you're the local host, of course). Things get more and more fisheyed the higher you go, and the first person model might not look too hot either. Experiment and see where your taste lies, 90 is generally optimal under most situations.

And no, pass 90 degrees it doesn't seem to work. Same for the cl_bob command. Different values do nothing.

Surprised to say the least some that some of the things im my wishlist for HL2 doesn't have mods that cover them. Good news is, the latest mod from fakefaktory incorporated a very basic caera bob. Not bad at all.

Funny how you were asking about full awareness, because I'm tripping over myself implementing this into my mod's source code. Will need to cut up a rebel model some, but I think it doable.



Oh, and some bit of news that picked me up: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/04/30/minerva-mod/

Hands-down my favourite singleplayer mod, getting a rerelease?! I know what I'm playing today. If there's an Out of Time tease snucked into the proceedings, I think I might pass out.

Regarding your speculation:
As far as I could tell, there was nothing in the Steam version of Minerva hinting at Out of Time.

Also, I asked Adam about Out of Time's status back in June 2012. His response:

That old thing? Eh, maybe when I finish work on everything else. ;-)

Maybe things have changed in the interim.

Anyway, Minerva is my favorite single-player mod ever. I'm very happy to see it finally get a Steam release, fixed up and updated for 2013.

Played Minerva the other day. Hadn't played it since that initial release way back when Episode 1 first came out.

Man, what an incredible mod. I got lost a couple times, but jeeze. Absolutely wonderful.

Radiator lives again with... a remake of 1-1? I'm intrigued, though somewhat given pause over the uncanny valley effect of less-than-perfectly-realized manbutt and phalli. Does Oculus Rift mitigate or worsen this? These are burning questions.

Didn't have access to my Windows PC for a while and came back to a bunch of Source Mod updates on Moddb. Haven't played any of these, but they've been on my radar for a while:

1.2.jpg

A Demo of Silent Hill: Alchemilla. Though maybe you want to wait, there's a patch on the way.

The Underhell: Chapter 1 - Release Trailer. "I mean it."

Double Action Boogaloo - New Release (7/29) Do you remember The Specialists for Half-life 1? Some of the same guys are working on this. And it plays kind of like TS. And also has some of the maps. But it's for Source!

Depot, a Half-Life 2 mod that tries to recreate a scrap of lost beta content, just put out a trailer. Looks like it could be interesting.

No More Room in Hell put out a trailer teasing the upcoming 1.07 release, which will be officially released through Steam.

The v1.1 release of that Silent Hill mod I mentioned in my previous post is also out

Played Silent Hill Alchemilla. Surprisingly subtle. Unlike all of the "scary" mods that try way too hard, Alchemilla doesn't try for the hard sell - it lets things build.

Also, Underhell Chapter 1 is out. That's probably a big deal.

Edit: Depot is out too.

Underhell continues to be the weirdest fucking thing. A refined version of The Prologue is included with Chapter 1, so you still get that weird semi-tactical shooter, plus the weird adventure game segments in the house, AND the nightmare dream sequences with the puzzle solving...

And then you get to Chapter 1 and it's like it boots in to a completely different game. They even re-run the opening credits on your very Batman-Arkham-Asylum-style walk through the prison.

I have to wonder just how long this is going to be. The prologue by itself felt like 2-3 hours worth of content, and I played an extra hour on top of that for Chapter 1. One of the first (optional) quests I got was to pick up 52 cards scattered around the place. At the rate I found the first five, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a good 4-6 hours long.

Chapter 1 is pretty good at being unsettling. It's way more horror focused, at least at first. A lot of genuine "OH SHIT, OH FUCK" run for your life moments. The way the music cues work is pretty incredible.

Voice acting seems pretty typical of a mod. Some of it is legit good, other voices... not so much. But you take what you can get in these scenarios, and there seems to be a LOT of dialog in Chapter 1.

But yeah, wow. I am blown away so far.

This is more a full Steam release, but Contagion, the spiritual successor to Zombie Panic Source, just put up a Kickstarter page. Minimum contribution tier for a digital copy and early access is 15 bucks.

I haven't checked this out in probably over a year, and it looks like an entirely different grade of RTS. CoH-lite, singleplayer, 3d unit portraits, experimental mixed lightmap-deferred lighting mode (-deferred in launch properties)? Sweet.

It has changed so much since the original releases. I should give it another shot, with how much it's changed by now, but that original playthrough (years ago) really soured me on it.

Played Estranged today. Sort of a survival horror mod, reminds me a little bit of Lost... if Lost had zombies. It's been in development for quite a while now.

Really seems to understand that less is more. The first half maintains a really good sense of lonely, creepy atmosphere. Unfortunately, it goes away in the second half, which trends closer to puzzle solving and action - except the puzzles are just copied out of Half-Life 2 and the action is a little timid.

Notable about this mod is its use of lighting - this is the HL2 Episode 2 version of the engine, which supports dynamic lighting, but mainly just for the player’s flashlight. Estranged uses it for a lot more than just the flashlight - more half the lights in any given map seem to be dynamic lights, which looks really good but took a very obvious hit to my performance - Episode 2's version of Source does not support the deferred rendering optimization for its dynamic lighting like Portal 2 does.

Worth playing. It's about two hours long.

Hey that's my mod. Aww yeeee.

Yeah we were pretty inspired by the Thing for sure, along with Silent Hill & more old school horror games. Puzzles may have been a bit rough, yeah. We really didn't want to hold the player by the hand for any of it, and the abrupt ending was due to us already in development of our soon-to-be first commercial game. The mod acted as a test run, to see if we were going in the right direction with the atmosphere.

There were lots of Youtube let's plays, but no proper walkthroughs afaik. The mod is currently broken due to Valve updating the engine to Source 2013, so uh thanks Valve.
