Hidden Source Mod for Half-Life 2 Bad news, linux server news

Hidden Source

Half-Life 2 mod | Released Oct 2, 2007

In "The Hidden", players choose the role of either a near invisible killer, Subject 617, or one member of an Intercept squad who have to capture him, I.R.I.S. In the simple but challenging gameplay of an 'one against all'? mode, Subject 617 creeps/sneaks through the maps armed only with a knife and three pipe bombs. The IRIS team carry a selection of weaponry, fully customisable at round start, from F2000 assault rifles through to shotguns or sub machine guns as well as a pistol as a secondary weapon. However, they can hardly see Subject 617 as, just like the 'Predator', only the outline of his silhouette is visible. On top of that the Hidden also moves a little faster and has many abilites such as pouncing, wall grabbing, corpse pinning and the fatal pigsticker attack. Therefore co-operation is necessary for I.R.I.S. if they wish to prevail (if they dont want to become the prey/victim themselves). This leads to an outstanding gaming experience on public servers:...

News from the front - I've been struggling with this linux server all day now, cheers to Raider for the shell account, but sadly it was not a memory problem on my linux box here. What this means is that we're going to delay the release until it's sorted, this is mainly because I fear that sorting it will require stripping the code down to near basic SDK and rebuilding it bit by bit, testing the linux build at every stage.

So, I wouldn't look for a release this weekend, though it does mean we should be able to get the shotgun view model in place and possibly another map or two. I apologise for the delay, but we reckon it's for the best in the long run, it's simply not worth releasing the mod without a linux server in place!
