WAIT THE FULL GAME IS ALSO FOR VANILLA HALF-LIFE 2? The technology from 2004? Not for Episode 2? Not for Source 2013? For vanilla in 2021?

Not really optional, can't finish test_1 without ir bc boxes wouldn't get launched.

That would be minecraft

Probably wasn't popular enough, for example I know about it because a certain gaming magazine made an article of it.

о_О didn't know it went public

Reverse of the vertical angle. When the character aims up but his projectiles actually go down, etc.

Freedom and stable controllable SDK.

Buggy Hammer, SDK prone to be broken by updates of Steam ecosystem, all closed source?

I'm afraid you'll pop))

I uploaded new version not modifying .vmt files.

Which compiler was used?

Some smaller maps and smaller textures (512x512 and smaller) should be loaded successfully. But IIRC a couple of compiled maps were compiled with Xash3D's increased limits in mind.

Is the project still being developed?

The one in front of it was there to begin with as you can see on the left pic. For the most part, it just become a spherical source instead of cone-shaped one. I tried to keep the vanilla look more or less, I started with "complex" 1-cos(ang) math that was supposed to darken the light just as much as its spread increased but the result was still way too bright so I went for much more simple approach and stick with it.

It is a good question whether one should guide player with lights. But anyway, Valve made a series of fakey leveldesign decisions. They aren't perfect but they do work. But if you try to fix one part in the chain to make it not so fakey, entire thing breaks. I couldn't let that light_spot live considering how bright and focused it was compared to actual sunlight going through grate that this light_spot was supposed to portray.

Yep I got used to a simpler looking graphics so it's definitely not a performance issue. :) I even made another pack that blurs Valve's excessive pixelization, just haven't uploaded it yet.

yes but more like a proof of concept

Да причём тут. Разработчики 1 части наверное растят детей и клепают донаты и лутбоксы в опенворлде. Расработчики 2, я думаю, рассматривали игру только как пропуск в большой геймдев.

Сорсовский редактор уровней глючит и вылетает, запарывая карты.

А где топорно? И про оптимизацию интересно.

review Hl.loess.ru

they made a P1 poster signed by all the team recently ))

Uploaded a sort of patch, check it out. :)

P2 dev doesn't even care to get in touch to add this to P2 category. It would be nice to reassemble P1 team but they're probably adults with kids nowadays so chances are low.

It is technically there, click on "KPL" developer title. That's all I can do with current editing rights.

Back in oct2019 we still couldn't contact P2's main dev. I haven't checked it since. Anyway I arranged this update as a separate game in "xash3d engine" category, with a link to original developer. Actually, you probably noticed this file for a sole reason of me noobishly archiving and unarchiving it back. I uploaded the same file to that new "game" category so this one will be archived soon.
