We've got more in store for you, there are some nice features HL2: Episode 2 brought in, which are making their way into the mod.
We're also revamping computers a bit, I'm not much a fan of the command-only computers - HL2 has a nice interface system, and we plan to use that instead (use your mouse rather than being restricted to typing everything.)
Well .. sort of.
I haven't seen the coder or mapper online in a long time ... college took over their life.
It's sad though, I quite liked this mod.
I'm still working on this mod - Master Blasters is currently on hold.
However, I didn't create many of the maps in Master Blasters (only Moontop and Pirates), so the praise you granted me was probably undeserved :P
I've had a few new ideas regarding the mod, and the fact everyone kept trying to get into Cabin 1 by replacing the canister ...
Hey if Hunter can do it, why can't this anime chickey do it ? :D
It's the small innovations like these that make games great!
I'm surprised I haven't seen it before, really. It's that logical step people seem to miss...
April is such a fun time! Haha, you fools!
OH MY GAAAWD, It's MEEEEEE
Sorry, I haven't been working on the mod for a while, it's been backlogged whilst I work on Master Blasters ( Moddb.com )
I'll begin work on it again soon, I'm anxious to get back into some optimizable levels that use the Source engine how it's supposed to be used.
See this note down the bottom-
Just remember everyone, that the current availible download is a Tech Demo Alpha.
It contains a partially created level, mostly for the purpose of displaying my In-Game HTML Screens.
Sure, it's the current story I'm working on, but note that the level is SMALL, and has no enemies or traps yet.
Don't be expecting much in the way of a game yet, that's still a long way off, but please be patient!
Thanks for your support, everyone Happy \:\)
Sorry about that, the only traffic I'd been getting to my forums was spam for the last few weeks, so I hacked at my scripts to confuse the bots.
One of the changes I made stopped registering from working, but it's now fixed :)
So I tallied up the downloads :) As of now, we have :
Internode - 353
FileFront - 1,412
Gamespot - 212
Fileplanet - 430
AmpedMods - 136
Mod DB - 184, 54, 441
Total: 3,222 Downloads!
That picture is a bit misleading ;)
What happened is that a part of the ship exploded, which produces a much larger explosion flash than just the normal cannonball shooting back and forth stuff.
Thanks Zeeky, your notes have been noted on Thedaedalus.net
Sorry about the blockyness, the map took me forever even with that low amount of detail and I needed to move onto the tutorial map.
One of the problems is that most of the curvyness is beneath the water...but due to the reflections, you can't see it ;)
Hrm, it says you're active...have you tried logging in?
When you signed up I didn't have the forums set to require activation, so you should be able to log right in :)
We didn't create any custom entities for the mod, therefore no FGD file is required.
Take a look at the maps\Mapping_Tips folder, there is a guide to making levels there, and a little tutorial on getting the mod to show up in the list of mods in the Source SDK.
Regarding the errors, you'll have to give us more output. Check the forums at Thedaedalus.net and explain the error in detail.
Regarding the map you didnt die in, please tell us WHICH map it was, and where it was you didn't die.
If it was mb_EgyptArena then don't worry, that isn't an instant death.
Forum registration has been fixed, sorry about the bug!
I recently moved ISP's, so it was trying to send mail via the wrong server.
It was asked for, it was made! -> Thedaedalus.net
I've posted up a guide on how to play over here -> Thedaedalus.net
Methinks they like my level ^_^
Thanks for the comments guys!
Nope, no Vikings either sorry. That's a different mod :P
Grayjamn should be posting up a news item soon enough, but I thought I'd let everyone know - a server patch has been released, fixing a major bug that prevented people from joining and crashed dedicated servers.
Hit the website to get it - Mbmod.webhop.net
You have a great idea here, why drop it?
Or, if you insist on dropping it, perhaps release the code and anything else we might need to make our own mods, that would have a longer life expentancy...
The information on my website is the short of it, using the SDK download.
If there are any problems getting that to work, checkout the full tutorial at Developer.valvesoftware.com .
The SDK download contains the source files there for you already, so that step is made easier.
There are a few main steps:
* Add EntHTML.cpp to your Everything_SDK-200x.sln, under vgui_controls
* Add EntHTML.h to your src\public and src\public\vgui_controls folders
* Recompile the vgui_controls project
* Add the HTMLView.cpp and IHTMLView.h files to the Game_HL2-200x.sln, under Client.
* Modify vgui_int as specified on W.thedaedalus.net
* Recompile the solution (mainly for the Client project, but the Server project needs to be there too.)
So we have one Valve file edited, and 4 custom files added to projects. Nothing else is changed.
The link to the wiki article at the top of this post explains how to add the screens into the world, and contains the same sample map that is distributed with the mod.
I hope this covers it enough to let people understand how to add it to their own mod :)
Once again, thank you for your support!
Just remember everyone, that the current availible download is a Tech Demo Alpha.

Thanks for your support, everyone :)
Hrm, there wasn't any Public Alpha option :P
Anyway, there IS a download availible. I actually forgot to post the link to it here, there is a link on the Valve Developer Wiki that I have to update now too.
The latest release can always be found on my site at W.thedaedalus.net
As for mappers, anyone is welcome to join in.
I'm going to make this open source. Anyone who wants to map for it can do so. They will get a chapter in the mod devoted to their level(s).
Yeh, we've had a lot of mixed feedback on this.
Some love it, some don't care, and others hate it. I'm the guy that did them, so I guess direct your annoyance at me :P
We are going be releasing replacements sounds that will be the default - the arnie sounds will be an option you can turn on if you wish.
