SourceModPatcher released blog - malortie

SourceModPatcher v0.0.0 has been released.

Github.com

A video has been made to show the Quick start guide.

Note: I forgot to show 1187: Rogue Train patched but the mod installation guide explains how to install and configure SourceModPatcher to fix it. It's been tested:

Reporting issues

Please report any issue on GitHub (preferably) :

Github.com

Issues may also be reported in the comments here as long as it's short. If you need to provide a lot of detail and or share error logs, please send me a PM.

Additional notes

• The program is based on .NET but is meant to be self contained. You shouldn't have to install any framework.
• There is no Linux version planned. Almost if not all old HL2 mods were only playable under Windows so there's currently no reason to make it cross-platform.
• Singleplayer mods are foremost prioritized. Multiplayer mods might eventually be added for preservation but it will likely be limited to only making them launchable and won't have further fixes since it requires extra maintenance, testers, setting up servers, etc.

Mods list

I created the list of mods to add.

Github.com

Added first were mods for which I made a Source 2013 Steampipe patch. Others such as Eclipse, Shantytown are from memory. I will eventually recheck websites to see if there are others. Things will be adjusted as needed.

For those that have a Source 2013 Steampipe patch, I haven't checked if some of them were originally standalone maps without a gameinfo.txt (in which I created a gameinfo.txt to make them standalone mods). In this case, I had plans to create a separate Source 2006/2007 mod and add them to it so they can be played on their respective engine branch. They could then be selected and launched via the Bonus Maps dialog but that would only work for Source 2007 maps since Source 2006 doesn't seem to feature it.

Updates

For now, I'll try to add new mods in batch (5 mods per update, or lesser if the mods are long).

For v0.1.0 we could have:

1. Get a life
2. Halloween HL2: Pumpkin night
3. Halloween HL2: Pumpkin night (Redux)
4. Eclipse
5. Shantytown

For v0.2.0 we would have 5 other mods, etc.

1. The island
2. Das Roboss
3. Ravenholm: The lost chapter
4. Wivenhoe: The fall of Ravenholm
5. Zombie stress

v0.3.0 - (2 mods since Strider Mountain and Final project are long mods)

1. Strider Mountain
2. Final project

Get a life has been highly requested so it'll be next on the list but if you wish to see specific mods added sooner, let me know.

Suggesting a missing mod or a map

If you don't see a mod in the list, comment here and I'll add it.
