Articles
Today, I post a news about the Mod, because I not have made big advance in mapping, but have modified many scripts, sounds and others ressources. The core of the Mod is almost done; skill looking good, sounds are working and have completed menu and intro of the mod.
Now we use a remasterised sounds in HD from the original game. You can found the Knife, Pistol and Machine gun sounds. I not forget to also replace sound for pickup items, and others. We have also modified the HUD with new fonts, colors and icons (you can see in videos the result).
In the original game, you need to found 'tresor' items, in Source engine, the score system is not made for that (and can't use score data for display it to player), but Half-Life 2 have 'battery' for recharge the 'HEV suit' (need to display health and weapons ammo), I have replaced the battery item by a goldbar, now find and take 'tresor' get you shield. (like some old games)
I continue to search about a Luger or a Mauser C96 pistol for replacement of the CZ52, I have found one or two model, but one not have hands and compatibility with NPC, and the other was made for left hand. I'm not a modeler and not clearly understand the 'Bones' settings. i prefer keep CZ52 for the moment, and find another solution in the future, anyway, is just a model to replace, and not need to recompiling maps for that.
I have worked also on translation. I have little problem to handle the credits translation, but is not a big feature and looking for some documentation about that. But Source engine require to made game in English first, and after translate to another (in my case, I want also support French).
The map 1-1 was done, I need to run few tests with players, the 1-2 need more objects and add few guards. The 1-3 structure was made this last week-end, I have begin to working on textures and secrets doors. Entrance and exit of map was also available.

when this mod is coming out? This looks awesome
No date for the moment, I working on the main core of the mod, after that, I can continue mapping more faster.
can you like change the hands to not be the hev hands
If I can, yes. For now, I have little problem to find weapons. I'm not a modeler, just a mapper.
I like what I see so far. my biggest question is (simplicity and complexity aside) will there be some new weapons along with the old ones just to keep things refreshing?
I try to reproduce from the original game, for that, I need to replace weapons, but not have all on my hands.
Crowbar is now a Bayonet M9 (not from WW2 time, but is from army...)
Pistol is replaced by the CZ52, but looking for a Luger or Mauser
SMG1 is replaced with a STG44 Machinegun
I not find any Chain gun, I have replaced the Shotgun by the Remington 870
In codes, I have also keep weapons RPG, Desert Eagle and Grenade. Is not used in game, but if I need to add one...
I understand that StG 44 you took from Gamebanana? If so, why didn't you ask the author's permission? (I am the author) To register for Gamebanana, you do not need to have any super-technical knowledge. Also, if you need real world war II guns, check this out: Bsnooch.com this is my weapons port from Day of Defeat. (Not Source, from the first part) I moved all the weapons, each weapon has 2 versions, these are HEV hands and original hands. This is what you can use in your mod. Just specify me as the author of the port of these models.
Yes indeed, several elements come from Gamebanana, I do not hide it, I create an article with most of the links to the files; Moddb.com . I have not yet taken the time to contact the authors because: I am not yet sure of using certain elements; I wish to show a solid product to request authorization; I had to test several elements and reject several, once complete, I could group the requests. At no time do I take ownership of the rights, I only make the maps. This also explains the absence of a public test version.
Okay, but it's better to contact the authors right away.
Lambda_logo Thank for the link, I have compiled with Crowbar and I have replaced few weapons by this one on the package. The Luger (yess), the MP40 and MP44, the paraknife do not work (not see knife in hand). I add you to credits :)
Okay, I will try to correct the error with the knife.
I've never had the opportunity to learn Visual Studio, but I've dipped my feet into audio manipulation before, and I know how to make events into the models, so I could add specific sounds to each weapon for drawing and reloading. here's some work I made. Drive.google.com
With Source SDK 2013, not need to use Visual Studio (and not have it), Valve have added a lot of files for editing and customizing major part of the game. The problem I have is not for sound, is for texturing and animating.
