Despite all my effort, I'm out of modding business for some time. Actually, it's BECAUSE of my efforts. To make games.

Yes, I'm sick agin, I've been down since October, got better for 2-3 weeks, wasted it all on G-man invasion and XDM. Unfortunately, despite all of my hopes, immune system didn't hold up well. Overworking and lack of proper sleep doesn't go along with pev->health. As I was days away from releasing a MAJOR XDM update (yes, even the weaponbox mystery seems to be solved), a new HLDM Map Megapack and a HLDM Player Model Megapack, I regret to announce that it most likely won't happen, at least as planned (this year).

My downtime ratio this year was terrible, I had to relocate to get better, but I just couldn't. And this adds to the insult. If people sometimes find me grumpy, yeah, now you know the f***ing reason for that. When every action brings pain, the reaction is obvious.

For example, when Linux does its usual shit like crashing, lagging, scripting and introducing SNAPs, It's driving me mad. Imagine like when you have a broken arm or two and and to get a drinking water you are offered to climb a slippery rotten wooden ladder and tie together uninsulated wires on a kettle, and people around actually laugh at you saying: "cool, good workout for body! we'll add flickering lights and crocodiles to that in the next update!". The whole post-win7 IT experience. To be fair, win10+ is worse.</rant>

So, I'm pulling together my remaining strength, but not making any promises.

I don't imagine many people would be disappointed anyway, but I still do apologize.

See you in the better future.

PS: GTK is shit. Even selecting an image to upload in Firefarts is a pain.

Can't imagine that amount of effort you put in on these projects. And despite all difficulties you didn't reject my request for beta-testing of Delta Particles. I guess it was the visible manifestation of some kind of your internal superpower.
Anyway, best regards! I hope your func_healthcharger is full and ready to use.

I see only one option to continue. First of all you need to stop and take care of yourself. Cause no one does.
My regrets for the next, "the best" unfinished XDM issue.

Set your pev->health to pev->health_max
