Just a small update:
The second part of DownFall is no longer being worked on. I do not have sufficient time to work on it. I landed a job in the game industry, I 've been working at Ubisoft Berlin as a QA and I am also doing freelance level design on SteamVR as a subcontractor at Scraggy Rascal Studios.
Probably got V-sync turned on? Fps is capped to screen refresh rate then.
Clever use of the existing tree models, I hope you clustered them instead of using a bunch of prop_statics?
Please make a full installer or zip for the DC version of Lost Alpha, I honestly don't want to have to deal with all the previous patches.
Given the large filesize a torrent would be usefull.
man, the upside down headcrab cannister irks me
I beg to differ, check the data of greenlight vs moddb's 4419 views

The project went through a lot of iterations, it was an ongoing learning process. I 've actualy completely restarted it 3 times, scrapping all made progress due to my improvements as a level designer.
I've also learned to model (3dsmax, mudbox, quixel suite and substance painter) and worked on various other smaller, less demanding projects, such as Overflow and various competition maps for RunthinkShootLive.com.
DownFall has been my baby for a long time, I was never going to let it rot away in some corner.
I am not sure yet, since I ve also released a map for citystreetsville, maybe I 'll add them to overflow as a compilation?
I would really like it if you'd change the name of your mod.
I 've been using "Downfall" since 2009. Now, I know I don't have any rights to the name, if it had been for another game than the HL2 series I wouldn't even be bothered. But just so to avoid people from being confused by 2 identically named mods, please change yours ...
I have included a link to the thesaurus, listing some synonyms for downfall, maybe one of those is interesting?
Just make sure to check moddb and the internet if there aren't any mods using the name prior to changing it!
I am not sure how the voting is done, I think its done by a jury, not by a public vote.
hibernating for now, but not dead
You should flip the texture on those doors, the text is mirrored.
If it's a brush, you can do this by adding a "-" before the texture scale (-0,25)
pro tip: offset the texture on the treecard with a few units so the seam isn't visible
very nice mapping, you 've been playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. haven't you?
whoa, gave me goosbumps, good stuff!
What are those outlets with the red sprites? Manhack dispensers?
I 've found someone doing particles for me, help request is closed now.
Hello,
I 'm looking for a particle artist to create some particles for my ep2 mod; DownFall. Moddb.com
Add me on steam to get in contact Steamcommunity.com
ah, so that's why this looked familiar.
I am glad to see you're expanding upon your map.
I replaced your client.dll with the one from HL1 itself and it works now, altho any coding changes you made won't have any effect.
updating to 1.1.1.0 didn't fix it, still the ctd because of the missing library
I found out how to start the mod in HL1won via custom game, but if I start a new game it does a ctd: could not load library C:\Sierra\Half-Life\FOCALPOINT\cl_dlls\client.dll
I am using the steam version, but I have the won version on cd.
How do I run mods via the won version?
Does it require the won version or will it work with the steam version aswell?
When I start it up it crashes because wondll.dll is missing. Or is this because of the recent valve fuckup with HL1?
