Half-Life mods reimplementations updates released Created 3 years ago2021-11-13 19:09:36 UTC by malortie

During 2015-2017, I released several projects that involved recoding Half-Life 1 mods from scratch. These projects are mostly known as Half-Life mods SteamPipe patches, which will now be referred to as Half-Life mods reimplementations.

The projects source code was released in the following repository with a branch for each mod.

Lately, a lot of restructuring has been made to the source code and after months of work, I am happy to announce that work on updating each project is finished.

For each project:

• Source code has been reviewed and reworked for some parts
• Almost if not all features were retested
• All found issues were fixed
• CMake support has been added
• Project has been moved to its own repository
• A Release is now available

In addition, a base repository has been created and will be used as a reference for each project.

Projects:

• Afraid of Monsters (Original)
• Azure Sheep
• Big lolly
• Blackops
• Escape from the Darkness
• Half-Life: Invasion
• Half-Life: Visitors
• Night at the office
• Poke646
• Poke646: Vendetta
• Swiss Cheese Halloween 2002
• The Gate
• They Hunger
• Times of Troubles

If people wish to download and play the latest version, it would be appreciated. Any issue should be reported on the corresponding project repository.

Note: Each release does not include the full mod. You must install each original mod, and apply the release files on top of the original mod files.

Nice. This must have taken a lot of work.

Thanks for posting and happy to see my mod (Times of Troubles) in the list. Will make sure to link you on my homepage.

(Yes, I just registered only to post this answer :D).

@fresco You are welcome. Thanks for having made a great mod.

Releases are now available on ModDB. For more information, please see the following post.

Nice work - did you recode it all by hand?

@tschumann

Apart from a few tutorials,

• Introduction - Using mp3s in Steam
• Orthogonal Triangle Rendering inside The Half-Life SDK

all custom code (except HL: Invasion port) was written from scratch using only my knowledge with Goldsrc.

Since I had previously worked with Source over the years, it helped.

Nice work @malortie.
