XDM
best LAN-party Half-Life modification
Something has finally been released?
About two years have passed since last release (v3.0.3.8) and, honestly, it wasn't easy time for me, as the only developer, programmer, artist, script writer, manager, hoster and tech support. Ok, there were about two and a half active game testers that helped a bit :) But otherwise, we were tight in resources at our disposal. But XDM survived!
It lives! And you may already have it.
So, many wondered, where's the version 3039? Well, while it was, in fact, made, it was never released to public outside group of testers. And that test showed that much had to be done! So, here we are, with bumped version - 3.0.3.4. And you, actually, could have already downloaded it. But where? Don't go to downloads section...
Two releases instead of one
As many people already know, development of XDM spawned at least two side-projects: collection of HLDM maps and player models. Because, really, who wants to play same 10 maps all the time? :)
And, a few days ago I've finally released:
Download Half-Life DM GOLD multiplayer maps century megapack - Mod DB
Download Half-Life DM GOLD player models century megapack - Mod DB
And in this release of HLDM GOLD (tm) map-pack you can actually find XDM 3040 as a bonus. :)
Stand-alone version will probably be released, sooner or later...
What's new?
It is quite understandable that many would want to know, what exactly to expect. But it's a pain in the neck to describe and the list of changes grew too large for a news post anyway. :)
Basically, there are tens of new features, some for developers, some for gamers, about hundred of fixes, lots of visual improvements like more detailed maps, smoother models, etc., etc.
Some notable changes include:
- with some help from the community, XDM players became voiced! :) Another small step
for humanitytowards Half-Life Tournament :) (voice system comes with international subtitles support and settings, new bots use it by default) - lots of helpful text hints, like in modern games
- lots of map design improvements, single-player maps got better design and some more secrets and puzzles
- easier to read player stats at the end of a match
- performance improvements (huge NOTE: because voice sounds are not precached, which is technically impossible, they are all loaded from your hard drive in real time, freezes are to be expected on slow disks as HL does not support multi-threading)
- (insert 50 more lines here)
Still open-source?
Well, it is true that the source code policy has changed a little, but it's for the better good!
Scared already? Don't be! Not only XDM is proudly Open-Source, it is now Forced-Source Software! This means you cannot obtain it without sources. :)
Traditionally, you are required to solve a puzzle to get to it. Hint: it's much easier this time and does not require playing.

I don't know and can't promise to continue working on XDM, but, hey - there are still bugs to be fixed! ;)
Now arriving a-a-a-at....

Is this compatible with steam?
Yes. At least it should be. :D
lol you still alive i had a great time on this mod nostalgia xd
Lel. I Idk why. But there's unprecached model in this mod.
Host_Error: PF_precache_model_I: 'models/w_weaponbox.mdl' Precache can only be done in spawn functions. Why is this unprecahed in dll?
In which case does this happen? Does it crash the game? XDM should only need this model if Weapon Drop policy is set to "All". Or when someone places weaponboxes on a map.
Love the XDM mod. Thank you for the continued development!
Forced-Source Software! that is a good TAG .. i love it ;'] is there any linus F-S
dev here ? i take 5 ;']
Dunno why you got downvoted o_O
I think this is a development model of the future )
Btw, did you actually get the code? (not many people figured out how)
(buried)
i think that come from some haters from "soviets coops" mod or their friends from mobdb or hlfx.ru.. [:8 [ with the help of some "fbi 's chinese" they turn my life impossible.. ] i am the one that was in the beta svencoop team , made they-hunger coop [ not for sc 3.5 that was never published.. ] for sc3 .. i was banned from beta team just after i gave it.. so after a month i published it [ my work using only "available" they hunger maps and ripenting them ] and was banned , deleted from sc forum.. but they know and follow me.. to steal my work.. that is always top quality.. like your ? ]
i crawled all github [ where there are a lot of dumbness..and false programmers..] then i went back to hlfx.ru.. [read my recent posts there .. ][i saw you were a uncle mike old friend....] then i crawled the web and found your excellent mod in a very good site with good old hl mod and newer either : http://gamer-lab.com/eng/goldsrc/Source_code_mods?cp=2#pageslider i am a bit provocative .. but like i wrote there :
about my "philosophy" of life and friends..
https://hlfx.ru/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5233&postid=191348#post191348
read above posts either..
about my mod
https://hlfx.ru/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5444&postid=189775#post189775
with some people if you are too generous.. they start to have bad "manners" .. like that happened to me at svencoop/soviets-coop forum..
to re-center my post on its goal..i search someone able to create the dlls for me . by now i selected all maps i ll use and mostly all mods..
the last thing i can add to what you can read at hlfx.ru forum or here.. is that i plan to use heart of evil and they hunger ep3 for the "hazard course"
i work hard so the dlls i want will be a hard job.. but it will be "the Mod to play.." to feel "what was hl in the years 200* 's
basicaly it opposing force with few monsters coming from sweet halflife and few others/with some maps entities of mods i use . but i have a lot of ideas like players playing aliens..
i hope you ll be interrested , with your all team..i hope to make money and pay us all a little for our efforts.. as well as porting the mod to source2 [ not so much to vr ]
Nope, sorry. It is impossible to legally make money with valve SDKs. Also, writing code is not an easy task and may take years.
