Epsilon Eridani

Half-Life 2 mod |

Gordon Freeman was not the only one under contract with GMan. There were five others along with him. You are one of them, part of the elite "Eridani" squad. Epsilon Eridani is a single-player mod for Half-Life 2, set during the actual story of Half-Life 2. EE's story is divided into three parts. The first part takes place during the 7-Hour War, the second around two weeks before HL2 and the third during HL2. In EE you play Epsilon, one of the five Eridanis, a group of individuals selected by the GMan to help the rebellion in its struggle against the Combine.

A brief summary of why I haven't worked on the mod, and what's to come.

Posted by on

First off, I apologize to those following the mod, I haven't had a lot, or any time lately since the last update, mainly with school and life. Epsilon Eridani has always been for me a "learning project" for Source coding, and I've decided to resume work on EE, but this time using the Orange Box source code.

I'll be changing some weapons than the ones announced, I'm a coder not a modeler, so every model I'll include (for those too lazy to search if a model is in fact under the creative commons and would rather complain about stealing models...) will be under the CC License "free to redistribute" with appropriate credits.

I'm thinking of calling the mod for its first release Half-Life 2 : Epsilon Eridani, because the coding I'm implementing so far is "realism" coding. Think of this mod as "Episode 2 hard mode" or "Episode 2 realism mod".

Here's what I'm working on:

  • New and updated Iron sight system with FOV change and animation [coding done, bugs?]
  • Particle muzzle flash system for every weapon
  • Realistic simulated bullet system

Thanks, and stay tuned :)
