My first release of my first mod... Three maps for now, compiled fast so they may run slow on some computers...
To play it follow these instructions:
-Download this.
-Unzip them in "Half-life" folder, they will set themselves in the right place.
-Go to the folder Half-LifeDanimod and execute the Install.bat.
-Run Half Life and run the Mod from the Custom Game Menu.

I love it because one can REALLY see how my mapping evolved in these two months. Please, try to play it to the end and post questions if you get stuck (hard, but possible).
It may have som

I liked it. Lots of hard work went into this. It was hard, but not impossible. I liked all the artwork on the walls and the area with the big staircase looks really good. One suggestion is to always delete config.cfg before releasing a mod. That way the players own configuration will be used. The area with the scientist needs more room to move around the door. Lighting in some areas needs improvement. Overall, very good work!

Thank you very much :D. I?ll take in to consideration the Config.cfg thingy (I thought it was good to include it :P) as well as the scientist room (maybe I?ll make the door open to the other side)... And lightning... Guess I?ll play it again on order to find what goes not as I imagined. By the way, anyone noticed how I reduced the size by not including the dll files and getting them with a .bat??.

I was forced to use noclip in some places cause the grunts were blocking the doors at the beggining and the scientist wouldn't open the elevator. (Is he sposed to?)
Commented 20 years ago2003-11-24 13:01:37 UTC Comment #479
Hmmm... When Grunts block doors I usually blow them up :D... But I set the grunts to dissapear after dead so I don?t know what your problem could be... Maybe I?ll set some blockers so they can?t be behind doors.
And the scientist opens the elevator, yes, he does. Did you take him to the front door?. A scripted sequence would take place and he?ll open the door, I don?t know, it works for me... Try again... Did you like it?.

i really liked the map. I think the key stuff is very cool and well done (i have no clue why they left that basic FPS idea out of the original)
Your architecture is great.
The level is tough but not impossible. Forces you to think and pray sometimes :)

But.... your lighting is not good. The level is too dark. Its often pitch black and that's not good. And the areas which are supposed to be lit up need the flashlight for proper viewing.

Great map marred by not great lighting.

I forgot to write that the map was graet!

Oh!!!, Thank you very much Jester!!!!. I?m so happy with all the good feedback I?m getting from you. I?m a little worried about the lightning thing. I see it nice but maybe in other computers needs some gamma boost from the video options. Well, thank you!, more is coming soon!.

PHEW< Just finished it in hard mode? No cheats? Took me over an hour! (-and about 10-15 saves)
Excellent brush AND texture work! Detail like that goes a long way.
Puzzles were fun, although I spent a good half-minute whacking the side of the box the HEV suit comes in? (Am I thick or is it just the box?:P)
Camera work worked:D
Great challenge, very fun to play, looks great, imaginative puzzles, soooo?
five pretty twinkley thingeys!

A few minor ideas/things for you to look at?
-There's lightening??? Hmmm I missed that :
-I fell out of the sky to start. It hurt. That was health I scarce could afford to loose!
-whenever I tried to grab the ladder in the bookroom, I would grab the bottom of the func_ladder, not the side! It took several tries to finally get on the side.
-Did I fall out of outer-space or did a chopper (hint hint) just drop me off?
-I think you should have two separate func_trains to act as doors on the lift -but you decide

I thank you as much as I thank everyone who plays and gives his opinion :). It means much to me that people give value to my work.
Some work wnet into this, my first attempt to do something and, well, still is unfinished and there is some more work to do (more maps and so...).
And well, I?m gonna answer to your ideas :):
-Everyone seems to miss the ligthning. It looks fine on my computer, there are dark areas and light areas but, hmm, if everyone misses it there must be something wrong with me!. Have you tried the gamma correction and so?. I?m asking for help at this ?cos I can?t test my map in other computers.
-Yes, it?s true... But i did it in purpose hehe. It has some story and, well, if you?re dropped you may suffer. There is a medikit in a crate that can recover you, but just a little, it?s intended to be hard but not impossible.
-Yes, it happens, the stair in the floor must be placed below the hole in the roof so you can jump into it and then into the stair. I?m gonna put a walktrough with the final version for things like this :).
-Oh :D!!!. A chopper dropped you, but it?s still not implemented. There are sentences and things that are still coming in these maps. In fact, there may be an introductory period where you jump off that chopper.
-Hehe... I thought about that, but was a little difficult to me (I?m not good at this) and I liked those paintings on the wall showing you how deep into the ground you are.
Great you liked the puzzles :). Thank you very much JB.

Commented 20 years ago2003-12-06 06:29:36 UTC Comment #531
i mean 'cant find DLL API C:Sierra/Counter-Strike/DANIMOD/dlls/hl.dll' plz help
Commented 20 years ago2003-12-08 12:48:19 UTC Comment #534
Hmmmm... It seems that you only have Counter Strike installed... The maps runs from Half Life only, I mean, it?s made for Half Life Single Player... Try to install the Mod in the Half Life folder, that is, copy the Zip to the Half Life folder and just unzip it :)... Of course, I assume you executed the Install.bat file provided with the mod. That batch will get the needed Hl dlls copied so try also that, it?s in the Danimod folder.
Tell me if you can run it and, of course, if you liked it. By the way, sorry if lightining is too dark sometimes, it?s been worked on currently, I?ll look better when all is fully iplemented.
I hope you like it :).

And don?t forget to also download the addon... It?s the file next to this in the vault. Sadly it won?t run without it.
