I'm started working on a free crosshair-movement thingy, will possibly be in RC2. Togglable ofcourse.

Steam Half-Life is a bit above 1.1.1.0, isn't it? 1.1.1.0 is the latest WON version.

Will change, no need for version for Steam-HL anyways. ;p

Switching to topdown mode should be as simple as placing a trigger_set_camera, selecting Topdown from the Camera Mode dropdown menu and triggering it. (Using a trigger_once or multiple, trigger_auto's won't work) It's possible it's more bugged up then I thought (It doesn't work to switch back to Platform mode :S), so it's been completely rewritten for RC2.
The other way to switch to topdown mode is entering "hl2d_camera 1 255" in the console. That always works afaik. ("hl2d_camera 0 255" switches back to platform)

In other news: There will be a Flat-Life christmas mappack in the next couple o' days, accompanied by RC2.

in func_monsterclip off/on? Post #241720

Took a quick look in the code, func_monsterclip is based off func_wall, so nope, it can't be toggled.

*The camera was too close in the tetris map, and I couldn't see anything which was comming.
After I died and it reloaded this map, the camera was fixed and was quite a bit further away.

Thought I fixed it, apparently didn't. Should work in next version.

*The game crashes on exit, so I need to shut it down a second time using Ctrl + Alt + Delete

Has something to do with Midi's, hm, appears to happen to random people.

The player on the latest top-down screenshot looks pretty damn short, or everything else looks really tall. How do you shoot the headcrabs? Does the player have 180 decrees auto-aim on the up/down axis?

In topdown mode the player can hit anything short while ducking.

in HELP BEFORE I GO CRAZY -coding Post #241597

SetActivity( Activity NewActivity );
It sets the animation and ai for set activity, look it up.
(Activities also has to be defined in the model's .qc file)

An easier way to get just the animation is to use
pev->sequence = Number-of-animation.
pev->frame = 0;

Ehm. You're blaming me for making it look like you copied the code, which you did. (As did I) You were going to credit him for the coding anyway, so everyone would know you didn't make it, which you appearently want all the big "industry" guys to think.

He released it under open source license, I and everyone else has the right to use it... (It wasn't easy to implement either, I just made an enormous hack. It doesn't WORK per say, there's memory leaks and god knows what. Making it work properly would take a lot more work.)

Heh, sure does. Tried the other way around. Didn't like it.
Could add a CVAR to toggle it though.

Got an idea, why just platform-gameplay?
Could have the mod as a platform for all kinds of 2Dish gameplay types, so I just added an entirely new type of gameplay. Flat-Life now features Platform and TopDown Shooter-type maps.

does the player's jump animation play again when you double-jump or wall-jump? so the player doesn't look like a stiff board bouncing around the map.

Yep it does, just forgot to put in changelog.

Another thing that's not in the log is that scripted_sequences now work properly.

I remade the menu to have an automatic level selection, and it also gets information about updates and new maps from the internets.

Screenshot later.

I've also made the base for updating certain textures from the internet such as signs and billboards at runtime, but i'm not sure if I'm gonna finish it.

You should be getting the new version in a few days. ;p

The problem is that the player model should be set before the player spawns, so you'll have to use the info_map_parameters to change player model. For now anyway.

There's already an entity in spirit that does this, trigger_changevalue.

playing the jump animation again when you wall-jump and double-jump, did that get fixed yet by any chance?

Working on it, most probably fixed in next release.
