This repository is meant to serve as a base for other mod creators who want to create a total conversion, but don't want to waste time on cutting out all the un-needed vanilla game code.
This is based off of Solokiller's Half-Life Updated repository, which fixes a lot of vanilla bugs and updates the project files to work with Visual Studio 2019.
Changes from the original codebase:
- added env_model (by Magic Nipples; ported from SoHL)
- added env_music (by Shepard; FMOD implementation)
- added player_freeze (by Shepard; ported from SoHL)
- weapons are fully server-sided
- fixed being unable to use things while reloading or switching weapons
- changed default weapon tracer frequency from 4 to 1 (always trace)
- added new TANK bullet types for func_tank
- monsters lose collision as soon as they die instead of after their death anim ends
- removed unused bullet types
- removed viewroll and WON bob
- removed useless entities (cdaudio stuff, cyclers, cine monsters...)
- removed Half-Life monsters and weapons (left zombie and crowbar as placeholders)
- removed HEV suit
- removed a bunch of unused code (TFC and #if 0 stuff)
- commented out "error" messages about being unable to find certain files that will almost always be missing
Credits & special thanks:
- Magic Nipples: Porting env_model to vanilla HL1
- Shepard: Writing the FMOD implementation, porting player_freeze to vanilla HL1 and generally being a cool guy
- James: Being extremely supportive and helping out with more things than I can be bothered to remember
Main mod files will be hosted on the releases page (yes, you need some of them even if you're gonna re-compile the code anyway). Please note that any mod using FMOD needs to have an FMOD logo somewhere in-game (like the main menu)! The logo files will be included in every build of this base.
I don't use GitHub very actively, so if you have any questions or suggestions please forward them to me through Discord: jay!#2754
