50 ping ^^ Europe, high five! I'll be playing
Been doing some Source mapping, but I can't get cubemaps to work.
After a fully successfull compile I use "buildcubemaps", but all it does is print "Can't load vtex.dll".
Using Half-Life 2 without mods, nothing changed.
Halp?

Well, I'm yet to encounter a program that doesn't work on 64-bit and I've been running it for about two months.

There's no university in Helsingborg, I suppose you mean the one in Lund? If so, then yes, there is.

Total Annihilation - The best RTS I've ever played, personally. Great gameplay. Me and my brothers used to have tournaments with this all the time.Agreed, TA is the worlds best LAN game. I'm gonna try out Supreme Commander soon, which people say is pretty similiar to TA. I hope it's as fun.
Goldsource, you say? You just made an awesome tool alot more awesome! 
The outside is mighty impressive, but the grass area needs more detail imo (Vegetation?) Bloom effect on window is a nice touch. Niiiiiice
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by before the mission, but the only thing you can do withouth coding is adding intro movies that play before the main menu shows up - altough I can't remember how. I think all you have to do is name your movie file intro.avi and place it in yourmod/media.
Ist there a coding thing you could do with visual basic or something(i don't code at all) that you click a dialog button that plays a movie, and then starts up the map? (like hammer or Muzz's launchpad can load maps?Well, generally speaking most stuff within reasonable limits can be coded, it just a matter of knowing how - so yes.
I do the same when I map. I get an idea, open Hammer, make some rooms, run out of ideas and think "Oh look! A squirrel!" and go on to do something completely different.
I found some old mod projects the other day and I realized that I've started to make quite a few cool mods but never really finished anything.
So, in order to make sure my effort isn't totally lost I decided to make the ChickenFist museum of abandoned projects. And a few people has asked how I made som of the Flat-life features, so there's also Flat-Life source code avalible.
And to squeeze some discussion into this thread, do you have any old cool projects you abandoned?

If you're looking for mapmodels for Goldsource here's quite a few:

There's a policecar.mdl there.

trigger_push might do the trick
Heh, yeah.
Here's a small screenshot. Note the titled camera and how much better it looks
One of the cooler features is the FLATL.U.S (Flat-Life User Stats - Swedish pun intended 0o). Basically it collects player stats during multiplayer games and adds them to a specified mysql database. After that player stats and toplists can easily be displayed on any website.
Also thought I should explain the new game mode:
mht_ stands for monsterhunt and can be set up in many different ways.
The base purpose is that there is one or a few very powerful monster(s) in the map that you have to kill. Upon death it will give some very powerful powerup for a short time or simply make you win the round depending on map setup.
Several monster spawns can be placed for variation each round.
So now, any more features requested? ;D

1.3 is coming up, and I hope it will be the last version for quite some time as spring is coming up. Therefore it's important that it includes everything it needs.
This is stuff it already has:
This is stuff it already has:
# Added new game mode: mht_. Read more about it in the "Multiplayer" section. (Possible more)
# Trigger_set_model, trigger_set_physics, trigger_set_camera and trigger_keyboard now works in multiplayer
# trigger_keyboard can now be used to check for key releases instead of presses
# Tilted platform camera slightly upwards. (Can be changed/toggled with "cam_platform_offset_y" cvar)
# Tweaked the server dll to work slightly better with dedicated server.
# Added some player statistics to dedicated servers
# Added "rank" and "toplist" console commands.
# Fixed monster crashes in multiplayer
# Added "Frags Rewarded" and "Team" keyvalues to all monster_ entities. See "Entity Guide" section
# Disabled +lookup and +lookdown in topdown mode
# Changing team while alive now removes a frag and adds a death (To prevent team changing spam)
# Bots will now also target monsters.
# Fixed multiplayer overflows
# Removed mp_allowmonsters cvar. Monsters will always be allowed if placed in map.
# Changed trigger_set_camera due to performance issues : it will now only set camera distance. Camera Mode should be set in map properties instead.
# Fixed bug with monster hitboxes in topdown mode
# Now returns proper name in server browser and not "HL Teamplay"
# Bots now work in platform mode.
# Red and blue team player models can no longer be used in normal multiplayer to prevent confusion.
# Added some OP4 monsters: monster_pit_drone, monster_baby_gargantua, monster_shock_trooper.
# Now shows a hud icon if you can walljump and/or doublejump.
# New maps: dm_flattyflat, mht_swamp. (Possibly many more!)
server is back up. flatlife.no-ip.biz
oxihosting.com is down and I don't really know any other good ones
I'll upload somewhere else, brb.
Edit: WTF, tried to upload to FileFront and it kept redirecting me to "Castlafraynia.zip"
Edit #2: There, it's on Rapidshare

That's not really a bug. It's in the FL manual actually. You'll have to turn all completely view-blocking walls to func_walls. Annoying, but it's the only way...
Yeah, I know. I'm adding more mirrors.
For now there's Invisiblity, Double-Damage and Suicide Bomber. And there's also few negative effects you can get if you take a random powerup such as Mega-Slow and Half-Damage.

Well done ChickenFist. You made HL fun again.Thankyou, thankyou ^^.
Is my name too long?Hm, yes
Will increase char length.Also, the server appears to have crashed when I was out. Damn overflows, hm.
Hm, don't think so, they're all shipped with Flat-Life.
Try redownloading 1.0 full and then the patch

saw, that's usually happens when either cg.dll, cgGL.dll, fmod.dll or devil.dll is missing. Are they all present in your half-life directory (not hl2d)?
There, fixed all those bugs you guys found yesterday. I hope, not tested.
It's running on the server now though, hopefully we'll find out soon enough.
Patch download Just unzip in your half-life folder and overwrite everything!

That is really strange... Too bad I wasn't logging the console :/

Just added one.
Please remove the old thread or ignore it. The information there is no longer relevant, as it all concerns the prerelease version.
Flat-Life 1.0 is here. The last major version. Bugfixes and minor changes will be related later, though.
Flat-Life is a singleplayer/multplayer goldsource mod turning the game to a 2D-ish platform shooter type game.

Yes. Or, so I hope. It worked for me! There's no multiplayer maps though but I'm making one... Damn I'm slow nowadays.
(Also, my host dissapeared so the main website is now HERE! Not really a website, but meh.)

I'm well.
Noone won, because, well, there weren't enough entries.
Also, i'm gone for a few weeks and my website host dissapears. sigh

When you search for any of the following you get an SQL error.Searching for anything with a ' in will give you that.
Santa's Revenge 2
"star 'w"ar's"
Did this for Flat-Life recently.
There's an entry in liblist.gam
icon "gfx/icon", where icon is the name of the tga.
That's how it should be done.
However, that did not seem to work for me, but when I put a 16x16 ICO in the main mod folder it worked.

Just realized February doesn't have a 30th, so ~10 days to go! 
Maybe you should keep an updated list of flat-life map links in 1st post of the popularity drive thread, along with the latest version of the game (which I think you already do)Will do on the Flat-Life website when there's a few more maps
edit: for some reason quitting the game (esc, using exit from splash) causes my HL to freeze, and I have to Taskmanager to exit. since no one else has mentioned this am I screwing something up?Hm, played a midi using trigger_play_chipmod?
There's a delay for crouching... does this happen for everybody?Yes, it's in the engine, not sure there's anything I can do about it.
As for the crashes, all has been fixed in RC3.
RipEnt has the -import flag, it'll let you change the entities without recompiling the map.
Plus I want to convert HL over to Spirit.Ehm, converting what, exactly? Half-Life runs fine in Spirit...
That's weird :S Just tested one, and it worked. What's the properties?
Edit: lolz chicken fist, im making a nice map for your mod wink-wink -Good stuff, good stuff
Might be related to Flat-Life, actually. The Half-Life engine always renders sprites facing the same direction as the player, and as you're not facing the sprite in platform mode it's not showing up. Hm, I'll check it out in the code.
Try changing the camera distance
Already got something like that planned for RC3, actually.
It's supposed to be there, actually.
There's no reload animation on the models so instead there's a text so you know when you're done reloading.

Uh, scratch that. Will be out soon, though.
