GoldenEye Source gets a big update after 3 years! (v5.0)

I mean it's not exactly the same, but it feels similar to a degree. It always feels great out of the gate, but the more I play the more certain things annoy me (people probably blatantly having crosshairs on all the time, the wonky hitboxes, etc).

I can still admire the good work put into the mod though.

We recognize that the hit boxes feel weird to some, but we've recreated the same method used by the N64 game for hit detection. It's something we always discuss
 
I click Find Servers and none pop up

Are there just no servers up?

I think there must be something wrong on my end, because all the localisation is dead as well. Basically every string in the game is #GE_whatever. I'll try using the installer, I did it the zip method.
 
Having a blast with this. About the only negative thing I can say is I now really wish someone did this with TimeSplitters. Great fun.

I mean, I figured it was just ping issues layered on top of that. I wasn't complaining about the design decision, just the way it feels in practice. Maybe it feels better in LAN? I'll have to give it a try some time.

I can't say I've ever LAN'ed the mod before. It might feel better that way. Give it a go, if you can. Let me know how it plays :)
 
Played a bit last night.

Totally agree that 16 players/map size is enough.

Most fun i had was playing caverns, one team vs another team, where the team i actually was in seemed to understand what team works in a fps actually means.

Will play more for sure.
 
This was way better than I thought it would be.. really stellar stuff. Of course I would die for the campaign, but what are you gonna do. Congrats.
 
Thanks for reminding me about this, I have the previous one installed, will update asap!

Fistful of Frags is quite similar to this if people want to try more similar games.

Can't wait to try this one again, very fun arena game in classic games vein.
 
Is the music on Casino from the N64 game? It sounds really familiar, but I couldn't quite pin it down.

Either that, or they did such an excellent job matching the music with the N64 game, that I can't tell if it's a new song or not
 
i installed this and played a few rounds, it's great. really feels like a good compromise between the original goldeneye and a modern shooter

sent links to a few buddies as well so will try to get some team games going

Do you have an issue with the server browsers in other Source games (TF2, CS)?

I would have that problem from time to time when I lived at home. My solution was to just use a 3rd party site to find game servers (not sure if you can do it for GE:S) and connect directly through the console.

I had installed it with the server files, since I didn't want to use the exe. However, that didn't seem to work properly.

Re-installing it with the exe fixed the issue.

Not sure which track you mean specifically, but all the music in the mod is the teams work, in some cases trying to best match the N64 game.
 
Game has a 50/50 chance of freezing after a map is loaded for me :(. Could there be something wrong with the install files if I got the preload installer?

I defragged my hdd due to someone's in-game advice and while that has certainly given my HDD a massive boost in speed it hasn't fixed the freeze issue. It does the typical Source hang where sound loops infinitely and nothing happens unless you force it to quit.

Apart from that it's fuckin great though.

It's not you, it's a bug that we're aware of. Did you by chance ALT+Tab at any point before the crash?

Oh I know alt tabbing can royally mess source games up, but I have no need to do so anymore, since the defrag the loadtimes are so short that I don't even have time to tab out. I am running it in Windowed mode though, I'll set it to exclusive fullscreen and see if it helps.

Edit: Fullscreen seems to have solved it for now :D!
 
Lmao, of course I alt tabbed out to tell that it worked in fullscreen, which left my screen completely black, thought the entire thing had frozen because holding the power button did nothing. Then the computer wouldn't even turn on, but somehow the power switch pins had been disconnected. Man. What a thing, these computers.'

Yeah Alt-Tab seems to remove my mini map.

Man I wish that's all that happened to me.

Edit: Seems the main culprit here are actually the Classic maps, they straight up freeze. Shame wanted to play dat N64 mode :( Should I reinstall the mod? Casino does it too.

It's a Source issue, yell at GabeN to fix it... no really, please do.

More frequent updates?
I hope the mod team gets more volunteers to help with the project after it just got so much good publicity.
It wouldn't hurt. We need modellers and animators. We get more of those, it would do wonders.
Luchador can only wear so many hats on our team.
 
Heya gabbo - from an old GE:S team member (around 9 years back), congrats on the release, and cheers to the team for carrying on all this time!
 
What make you say speed hackers? It might just be people who are strafe running, which makes you run much faster than normal running.

This. Hold W+A or W+D. It's a tribute to the original games, where holding forward+strafe would make you run faster. The disadvantage is that you have to aim diagonally in order to not run into a wall, but it's great for running away from a firefight (useful for The Living Daylights mode) or if you want to slap someone.
 
Had a lot of fun with this years ago when 1.0 came out, no idea it was still being worked on! Definitely gonna download tomorrow and play a few matches.
