News | v1.1 | Steam page progress | Possible sequel - Delta Particles mod for Half-Life

V1.1 changelog:

1) Some people feel uncomfortable with rotating skybox in the dimension of Xen (map xen4a6). Sky with stars and the red galaxy are the separate objects now. The rotation speed of sky was reduced by 4 times. Also, screen punch caused by radiation damage is severely reduced too.

2) New sounds for SMG. New reload sounds and more brutal one for silenced fire.

3) New M4 crosshair. Old sprite partially ovelapped your aiming because it becomes too bulky due to HUD scaling.

4) NPC navigation and fixes for scripts. Node graph was rebuilt and improved on maps: db1a2, ns3a1, ns3a4. Some script scenes didn't work properly (in rare cases but still...) and could have broken your game experience and progress. I hope gameplay with NPC will be a little bit more enjoyable for you after this update.

5) Better texturing. Some objects had wrong textures or texture coordinates (For example: null texture on the side of metal crate on the last map, which is in the "courtyard" of the biggest building.)

6) Some small corrections for subtitles and voice lines. Mainly for RU localization.

RU: Костюм игрока теперь правильно произносит слово "проценты" в зависимости от количества брони ( Примеры: 32 процента, 61 процент, 100 процентов и т.д.). Еще переведен на русский абсолютно весь текст. Раньше можно было заметить, что некоторые внутриигровые фразы оставались по прежнему на английском. Это было связано строго по техническим причинам, т.к. эти сообщения выводились на экран совершенно по другому принципу, который не позволял выводить кириллицу. Переведены несколько строк из главного меню, у которых ранее отсутствовал перевод.

Thanks much FreeSlave for some code fixes without which it would be difficult for me.

Further plans

I'm working on Steam Page, please give me a bit more time for it. I allowed myself to have a little break after the December release. I was tired after the exhausting work on the mod's update.

I know many of you like achievements. It's not a 100% promise but it has a small chance to be implemented. More than, I have a few thoughts about sequel for DP. Yes, DP could get a small sequel (5-7 maps, no more). At this moment I have not decided yet, but who knows.. Earlier I really wanted this mod to be the last one. I'll let you know if I make a decision. The whole point is this: I migrate as a developer to Unreal Engine. Because this is the last mod, but not the last project. *evil doomguy face*
This is a subject that requires a lot more competencies. I need to know how to use a bunch of more serious programs than JACK.

Stay tuned!
