Has anybody had any issues with gunshot sounds accompanied with an annoying popping sound? It usually happens when the gunshots are at a distance. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Other than this really annoying issue, this mod is damn near perfect.

This is a very nice mod. I've noticed that while I can replace blood wound decals, I can't replace blood spatter decals no matter what I do. Any way around this?

Did you read the readme? You are supposed to install the fonts included with the Zip. Also use the lockers (similar to the one you woke up in) to save.

You're the man, Leon. Can't wait to start playing when I have time. I'll be uploading videos as I progress!

You guys finally did it. I'm looking forward to it!

Beautiful maps and screenshots, Leon. Whichever version you decide to release, I will greatly look forward to playing, recording it, and showing it to everybody else. I expect nothing more than awesomeness from you. Great work!

Not bad at all. Very interesting you got it published. It's actually pretty well-drawn, and now I'm curious how old you were when you did it.

Great to read, Leon! Hope to see it next month. I know I'll probably have a blast going through this considering I enjoyed all of your other projects.

You should definitely make that picture at the end the background image for the mod's title screen. :D

I can't seem to change the skill.cfg. It always gets reset when I start playing the game.

This is a really nice mod. I would dare call it a prequel to SMOD. Hopefully unlike SMOD you don't give up on this. It has a lot of potential. Thanks for making HL1 playable again!

I had a feeling this would happen, but it's alright as long as everything is polished. I'm still looking forward to the completed mod and I wish you good luck in its production. ^^

Then why release the whole thing now? You guys can't take the extra time to try and recruit more talent to help you out? If people are asking for money for their work why can't you start a Kickstarter or something if you're serious about this game? Why lower the bar?

That is absolutely fine. Thanks for considering. ^^ Just come to me if you need any help.

The aesthetics of this mod are quite lovely, but I really wasn't impressed with the gameplay. I really hope you guys take some measures to make it more visceral and immersive rather than feeling like yet another Half Life 2 mod.

Are the shooting animations for the guns not working for anyone else?

You guys said in your faq there would be bullet wounds. I see none of the sort.

All the music you've posted is very nice to listen to. Is there a chance we can get a download? : )

This looks pretty neat. Would be nice to see some of this dynamic gameplay. :)

Thank God. I thought I was the only one with the spawning problems. Guys, apparently the LUA files that are included with the maps are no longer working for ANY Smod client. I have no idea what's going on or why this is happening...

This game is quite the achievement and I really enjoyed what I played. The story seems like such a mindfuck, and after all I went through, there's going to be four more chapters? Holy ****! Do you have everything written down already?

Good luck on future development. You guys have a lot of talent and potential!

Even if the download fails for some reason and I have to get it on Sunday anyway, I'll still be glad to have donated.

I'm going to add my thoughts on the demo. I might be attacked by rabid fans, but I have to let this out. I was watching this mod for a while now, and by the screenshots you've shown us, I was anticipating this first-person take on the world of Silent Hill to really engross me and soak me in its atmosphere.

You guys have nailed the art aspect. I really do like the textures and custom models you've done, but then I have seen that there are assets of Half-Life 2 being used, which almost immediately sucked me out of the atmosphere. I'm not sure if any of you mentioned you'd be using custom assets 100%, but the presence of these HL2 models remind me that this is a Half-Life 2 mod, and that is definitely not what I want to come to expect when playing this game. The HUD and sprint bar did not help at all either. I do not want to feel like I'm playing a mod of HL2 - the authenticity of the Silent Hill atmosphere was compromised a bit.

I also want to comment on sound, or more specifically music. In almost every level, there is ambience or music. While ambience can be very important, the fact that it is overused in the areas in the demo also damages the Silent Hill atmosphere (almost every room in the apartments had the same ambience). SH is all about subtlety, and one should really keep that in mind when trying to capture that atmosphere.

Sorry that I'm being really picky, I was just a little disappointed is all. I know this is a demo and you guys mentioned you don't have a programmer, but please consider finding one. Keep doing what you're doing, and I'll keeping watching until the final release.

This is masterfully put together. I dunno if you're still hanging around, but in case you are, I still have some troubles with pops, clicks, unexpectedly loud and static-sounding noises that I think are coming from CI. Does this have to do with certain campaigns?

I understand. I was only trying to emphasize my thought process upon seeing the trailer. No attacks intended, honest. :)

I have two issues with the mod. I hope you're still kicking around, because I love what I played so far.

1st: The mod seems to have a sound issue, not necessarily the one that has a fix, but the sounds are usually overlapped or stop mid-way, and it's very annoying. Sorry if this wasn't clear, but it's hard to explain.

2nd: In the Max Payne campaign, when I die, it doesn't load the last save and I have to manually go into the save file list and load again. Pretty inconvenient.
