Rock 24 takes place on an abandoned Cliffside prison. The prison is situated on the side of a sheer cliff face meaning the only real way in and out is by air. The combine have moved in to the facility and are re-using it as a place to hold rebel leaders and other important Rebels. Gordon is required to infiltrate, free the Rebel leader and hopefully escape from the facility alive. Unfortunately the prison is rapidly deteriorating around him and there isn't much time. Rock24 was in production for 9 months as a spare time personal project by two guys who work in the games industry. This is their first mod and attempt at level design.

Description

This patch fixes most issues related to engine branch incompatibility and is designed to run using the latest "Beta" of Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer. Instructions on how to install and use it are within the archive.

I played through until i got to a point where I could go no further, the APC doesn't arrive, it just sits there. I tried starting from earlier saves (from before I even got into the area where the APC appears) but it simply did not work, I got the same glitch every time and I can't go any further in the game.

Do you know how to get past glitches like that?

I updated the patch. This new version should fix the problem.
Once you applied it, you will need to restart chapter 5.
Click "New Game", select chapter 5.

Thank you for your interest.

It... kind of works? The car crashes into the wall and disappears, then the pillar spontaneously collapses, and the firefight that was supposed to happen after does not. But it is playable, so certainly an Improvement. Now that I've finished the mod, I will say that I enjoyed immensely and I thank you for producing such a fun game :)

@Roa_one

I assume you are speaking about the crash related to destroying APC, during the last levels.

The best solution for the moment is to restart the game and load your last save. I had to make changes to levels to reduce risks of crashes happening. Please note that these still occur, but less frequently.

These types of crash happen very often in many mods, such as City 7: Toronto Conflict, Strider Mountain, Final Project Diary...

I wish to be able to solve these bugs more efficiently, but without proper debug information (which is used to pinpoint the location of memory corruption), there are many ways this can happen, and specially if these bugs occur in a module and or library which is closed source and I cannot study, which is the case with this mod, along with those I mentioned above.

@r3plica

You are correct. Several props of this level are blinking.

I am not sure what causes this issue. It could be because of old level structure running into recent version of the engine.

I have not been looking into this issue, as long as the game runs without crashing and or gameplay problems. When I will have enough time, I could try and see into fixing this issue.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello I installed your mod and then installed the patch (it even shows up in my steam games list) but when I launch it I get like 2 seconds of a low res menu but then just a black screen. so I press esc then the window closed for some reason. If anybody can help me it would be much appreciated. p.s. I'm kinda a noob when it comes to patches
