Source code for the patch.
===============================
** Persistent bugs **
===============================
- Weapons not correctly drawn after map transition.
To bypass this, try the following:
- Toggle ironsights
This is a temporary solution until properly fixed.
===============================
** Fixed **
===============================
- "Could not load library client." when launching the mod.
- Scene files not playing.
- Gameinfo.txt now has correct parameters.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the game to duplicate NPCs such
as Chris; John; Mike;
===============================
** Changes **
===============================
- Removed Manual from game menu.
- Map 1187d1
Modified level flow to prevent players from accessing a location that would
cause the game to crash (The nature of this bug is unknown).
To get to the basement, where several houndeyes are sleeping, players should
use an airvent located in the small room on the right of entry, inside
apartment 126.
- Map 1187d2
Blocked hallway on second floor to prevent players from accessing a location
that would cause the game to crash (The nature of this bug is unknown).
This change did not affect level flow, as players are not required to pass
through this area.
===============================
** Improvements **
===============================
- Added English Closed caption (subtitles).
If you have any questions related to this patch, please let me know.
Criticism & suggestions are greatly appreciated.
1. Mod could crush during first houndeye battle. Don't know why. But I remember that one time it crushed right when I looked at the vent.
2. For some reason mod became absolutely hardcore. Playing on easy, 3 soldiers could kill me in few seconds. I don't remember it like that during my first playthrough.
@Fast_Train
To answer your questions:
1. Crash in houndeye section.
I downloaded 1187 version 1.3, along with with my Source SDK 2013 patch and played through the section you mentioned.
You are right. I crashed while walking to the far left end, just after coming out from the vent.
I assume you crashed at this location, which is this place that caused crash and was unable to locate the source or cause.
In this case, users should simply go to the door to the right to
continue the main campaign, or skip to level 2.
I do understand this is quite irritable, and I wish I could have fixed this bug, but I simply cannot locate the source without proper debug information.
Adding a ventilation system to bypass this section was the best solution I could find, and as long as players proceed to the door on the right, upon leaving the vent, there should be no problem.
For more information about this problem, please refer to this article -> Additional informations.
Moddb.com
2. Game difficulty
I used all game variables of the original 1187 which can be seen within the skill.cfg file, found in /cfg folder.
I have not modified any value that could have had an impact on the gameplay.
If users wish, they can modify those values (skill.cfg) and relaunch the mod, so to allow them to adapt the mod difficulty to their need.
I am afraid I cannot do anything regarding this, as level difficulty is a designer's choice and I must ensure not to alter anything related to original gameplay, to presever the designer's wills.
I do hope that you understand these points. I am aware that this patch is not perfect and several (undesirable) changes were needed to make this mod work again.
If you have other questions, please let me know.
1. Wow, I didn't even remember there was no ventilation in a first place. You did a titanic job with all those patches.
2. Well, okay. Now I just wonder, how I played it 5 years ago.
i need help now i can pass the level vs the militars after get out of the train the enemy killme soo fast and they have soo health
@dom6755
I have not played this mod very much, so I cannot really know where you are in the game.
Are you playing with the regular campaign, or are you playing the 'Rogue train'?
Here are links to a series of walkthrough videos for both regular and Rogue train mods.
my problem is vs the soldiers have the best accuracy in the world and move because the make prefire and me vs 3 soldiers is instal dead
@dom6755
If you have difficulty progressing through the mod, I recommend that you lower the difficulty (options-> difficulty-> select easy).
As for the soldiers, which use citizen AI, they are not different from regular HL2. When I recoded the mod from scratch, I have not made any change to the citizen AI, so there are no reasons for them to "pre-fire".
Be sure to analyse the environment around you, and also to take cover behind objects when you have the opportunity. This mod requires you to use carefully ammunition and health.
If you have other questions, please let me know.
okey thx im in easy but im going to take cover everytime, yea last question is im loking a walkthrough but in the video the ai have bad im aim
@dom6755
"is im loking a walkthrough but in the video the ai have bad im aim"
I am not exactly sure to understand what you mean.
Could you please elaborate a bit more? Thank you.
In my game soldiers have good aim but in the guides the player can walk and the soldiers do not give him a bullet
@dom6755
In HL2, allies give ammo only if you are low on ammunition.
ty
mmm sorry im sometimes like now i start 1187 and give an error:Can't find background image materials/console/startup_loading.vtf
@dom6755
This error is often encountered when you attempt to launch the mod with a pre-steampipe update gameinfo.txt.
In most of the time, users who incorrectly installed the 2013 patch have encountered this error.
I recommend that you read the installation instructions in the Readme_fix.txt, provided with the Source SDK 2013 patch.
kk
when i copy paste the source path I have to replace all files?
@dom6755
If you want to play the regular campaign, you need to download 1187 1.3 and the source 2013 patch.
Install 1.3
Install 1187 Patch - Source SDK 2013 (overwrite every file).
If you want to play 'Rogue train', you need to download 1187 - Rogue Train and the Rogue Train source 2013 patch.
Install 1187 - Rogue train
Install 1187 Rogue train Patch Source SDK 2013 (overwrite every file).
Do not forget to set your Source SDK 2013 beta participation to 'Upcoming'.
thx now i can play i love you :v <3
@dom6755
You are welcome. Glad to help.
Have fun!
lol when i start 1187 i have missing models because steam use the source sdk base 2007 no 2013
@dom6755
If you have missing models, it is because you either
do not have Half-Life 2, and or both episode 1 and 2
installed.
In addition to this, you require to have Source SDK Base 2013 installed, as specified in the installation instructions.
i have hl2 , episode 1and 2 and source 2013
@dom6755
Have you restarted Steam?
Have you validated your game cache?
Everything is explained carefully in the readme instructions.
i will try to check the cache
i will try dat
damn now i dont have any model lost only i cant the the menu the only thing i can see is the tittle and the backgorund
@dom6755
It is quite strange. Maybe you should try to re-install the patch.
ok do you think is problem by the resolution?
@dom6755
Right-click on 1187 in your game list and
select 'properties'.
Click on 'Set Launch Options'
enter: -windowed.
Click OK. Restart the game.
no man still the same
@dom6755,
Try to open up the console using ~ and enter the following:
gamemenucommand openoptionsdialog
This should bring the option menu. Once done, go to the video tab and change the resolution to 1024x768.
Restart the game.
okey now i can play thx is me or the soldiers have infinite spawn?
No, soldiers do not spawn infinitely.
If you are stuck during playthrough, have a look at the videos I linked above.
Youtube.com here in this video the soldiers have bad aim ,why in my game they are soo pro?
@dom6755,
They were not aiming at you, but at your friends.
Have a closer look.
thx now i can play the game fine im sorry if i make lose your time
Please, do not apologize.
I am glad you are able to play.
Have a good time!
for me i can't even do that since every time i press `~ nothing happens
@Mr_Mannface
I apologize for the delay of the response.
It might be possible that your console is not
enabled in the game. You can enable it by
default by doing the following:
In your Steam game list, right-click on 1187 and
click on 'Properties', then click on 'Launch options'.
In the text field, type the following without quotes:
"-console"
Click Ok and relaunch the game and press ~.
I have one, I have installed the mod and put it like the fix tip said in method 1, and I keep getting this error, that he couldnt load library things, and the patch said, it that would have been patched, but it still is on my game
Will "Rogue Train" work along with it in further edits? Or is it still working like "one or the other"?
And will Half-Mind be fixed too?
@RyanMichaeljames
Regarding Half-Mind:
I am currently looking at it.
Regarding Rogue Train:
I have not checked Rogue Train yet. if this is a Singleplayer expansion, for 1187, I could try and see if I can fix it. Please, let me know.
Thank you for your interest.
Mods I think are unfixable, I eventually see you fix. I can't believe this. You are too cool.
@Seaal
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
Just a minor issue but chapters don't seem to be unlocking the further you go in the game. Is this meant to happen?
@attackzone974,
If I remember correctly, all chapters are unlocked after completing the game's main campaign.
If this does work, try to do the following:
- Open up the console.
- Type the following: sv_unlockedchapters "99"
All chapters should be unlocked.
If you have other questions, please let me know.
Thank you for your interest.
Okay thanks. Also just something to point out, enemy soldiers seem to use different models instead of these Moddb.com
But it isn't much of a big deal, and thanks for the patch anyways
@attackzone974
I added a new issue for reference, regarding soldier models.
Github.com
Thanks for the report.
Still doesn't work for me. I get a quick window pops up and then nothing.
@CptKlink
Make sure you are using the 'Upcoming' beta of the Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer.
You should also verify the integrity of your game's files. This might be the cause of your crashes, as you have invalid/corrupt game files.
You can perform this check by doing the following:
- Right-click on Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer.
- Go to the "Local Files" tab.
- Click "Verify Integrity of Tool cache..."
- Wait until game cache inspection is completed.
