Xash3D is the powerful independent open-sourced 3D-engine, aimed for high compatibility with GoldSource engine formats (maps, models, textures, sounds, entities etc.), but with the intention to be an advanced platform for modmaking or game development. Technically it has been built from a scratch, using as totally original ideas, as some ideas from other 3D-engines. Xash3D overcomes obsolete GoldSource engine's limits and provides for you a new quality of gaming experience and modmaking capabilities, as extended map, model, texture & sound formats with higher limits, possibility to implement custom renderers with dynamic lighting and other modern features. Xash3D is the easy-to-use base to play existing Half-Life mods & create something new, impossible with GoldSource. Years of development & testing allowed to make from Xash3D a perfect mix of high compatibility with common GoldSource standards & high openness to creative modmaking ideas.
Compared to what the mod is now, this is extremely old & does not represent the current state of the mod. I'll still leave it up for archival purposes, and just to look back on and ponder how much I've improved! Its here! This is the release running on Xash3D, I'd prefer you play this one over the Steam release for many reasons, NPC's lips sync properly with their lines, music doesn't cut off if you die, or reach a level change, and it just feels alot more stable then the Steam branch of GoldSrc. If there are any errors, let me know!
**** YEAH.
**** YEAH. x2
THANKS A LOT MAN!!!
F*cking perfect, a few bugs but that's just charm. Keep up the good work, dude. Really felt like playing a different game. Just found 2 secrets though.
Looks good, but... where am I supposed to go? I went down the elevator, picked the weapons in the maintenance room, but then, I do not know where to go next? The corridor is blocked by a seemingly unbreakable barricade.
You might have to get a little aggressive with that vending machine in the maintenance room :)
Thanks. You may want to make that more obvious, though.
Tested the Xash build, actually it run pretty well :) No crashes or bugs where I had to restart.
First:
I found 3 secrets so far :P
Second:
I found some map mistakes where you forgot some stuff :P
Third:
I ******* enjoyed the demo !
:D Yeah the feeling is really different to normal half-life, the shotgun sound was out of place the other stuff was pretty great :)
Remove the baby_volitgore distance attack ( panthereye ) or replace it with the normal voltigore =) if you want it to shoot.
So far this is done pretty good, I´m suprised the first time I saw about this mod I was like... uhh another boring retexture Mod... but I gave it a while and saw new Brushwork, this was the moment were you get my attention.
So yeah, great work, if you need any professionel testers, feel free to ask me for full version :)
If you dont know who am I, feel free to check my gamebanana acc or check svencoop dev team (official artist+mapper from svencoop).
Really giving you a big thank you hug, for this sweet 50 minutes I had with the demo allready :)
Also cool gift about prefabs+source files of the maps :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll letcha know if I need something to be playtested c:
I downloaded and played the Xash3D version after all and all I can say is that I had a blast playing this demo! I was expecting it would be good but you surpassed all my expectations, congrats! And I've spend almost an hour playing it, which was a big plus by its own ;) .
I think Trempler's review covered all I wanted to say. It felt like a totally different game, but in a good way. Everything (new textures, new weapon/models) blended in just perfect and nothing felt out of place. Of course, there were a couple of bugs/design flaws/mistexturing, but, I am sure all these will be sorted out in the final version :) . I loved the secret areas, wish the original Half-Life had such places too (well, it had, but they were too straight forward). The music and sounds added up to a very creepy outcome, which was something refreshing from all these simple retexture/remodeling mods out there.
Once again, congrats with the work so far and I wish you the very best of luck completing the rest of the game.
Cheers!
Well, I expected lesser, but to playing in this is like to playing in absolutely new game! The atmosphere is original, it's strange mix between hl, op4 and quake or even doom. Perfect work on sound effects and redesign of levels. But there are some gameplay glitches.
Thank you, I apreciate it! Hopefuly I'll have ironed out most of the bugs & glitches when the update is ready :)
ya know,i'm looking for this kind of mod for more than 4 years! this mod has a style of beta or alpha HL1.
And, thanks 4 making a xash port, i'm running it on my phone:)
This is a beta mod
Yeah, this demo is pretty old & a bit of a clusterfuck, the newest video really shows how much RF has changed since I released the demo
What I mean by beta mod is that it uses beta models you made
some small problem ... system can´t find tons of .mdl files :(
how to fix it ?
I've played this a number of times through already. And I love it. It feels familiar of Half-life, but also feels new. The combat, oh boy, that's a blast. The guns feel like they have real punch to them, and sound great too. Map design is fun, I like that Xen has a more hellish Doom-ified feel with Pit-drones looking like demons, and the fleshy growths clinging to walls.
I know this is outdated now, but if it's anything to show then I can't wait for the finished product.
When will the full game be coming out?
Ru Still going?
