Black Mesa, New Mexico...

With regular system crashes and over-driven equipment, a disaster must have been inevitable.Deep within the tunnels and carved corridors of the top secret research complex within the mesa itself, the catalyst was introduced.

When your only companion (indeed your best and only friend of this piddling existence) suffered from an untimely death, you couldn't help but feel lost and vulnerable. And when you stumbled into a series of strange and unnatural incidents, you soon realized that no one cared about YOUR life. No one would take the time to befriend you... to help you... to save you.

People were dieing.And your best friend was one of many victims.You were forced to survive alone.To live by any means necessary.And to do it your way.

Of course, it didn't help that you were born a cat.

Cat-Life is an original concept for Half-Life and the GoldSource engine.Players will experience the Black Mesa incident from the view of a stranded pet cat.

Using claws and teeth and the natural prowess of a cat, players will travel through the bowels of Black Mesa.Xenian beasts roam the corridors and laboratories and... surprise... cats are conveniently bite-sized for those in-between-meal munchies.



This project includes...

  • Six new chapters


  • Over 30 complex maps


  • A new training course


  • And a team that is still growing

Blog RSS Feed Report abuse Latest News: Cat-Life Recruiting a Second Coder

0 comments by The_Wildcat on Apr 22nd, 2008 digg this super bookmark


BiGToM sent word this morning that Team Cat-Life is recruiting a second coder.

Specifically, he stated that the cl.dll part of the code has been completed.  But the team needs additional help with the hl.dll code.  They are looking for coders with some experience on HL mods... but any help would be appreciated.

They want to make several functions including player sprinting, attack damages (from claws, bites, etc), dark vision (similar to night vision), and (most importantly) the cat-sized player POV portion.

"We have done the first part the client.dll but now we need someone to help us with the hl.dll to make all things work."

The primary concern at this point is to locate a coder that can set the proper player view and compile the code so the beta testers can begin testing some of the maps for bugs.

If you are interested, PM BiGToM or track him down on MSN at sayrken@hotmail.com

The team needs a coder so they can put certain components together in-game before they can do any major game play videos.

The second half of the video is an early "beta" of the cat's paws in use. Weapons, special actions, and POV all need work in the source code.

I'm not sure I understand your comment. We are recruiting a coder so the team can make the needed changes in the code. As it is, BiGToM has been tweaking code with the help of some other loyal folks. But that can only go so far. We need a coder that understands both hl.dll and cl.dll
