I sure hope the screen doesn't rotate as you turn. That would be nauseating.

Could add a CVAR to toggle it though.

Im brought to the menu screen and then nothing. I can't click new game. I checked my maps folder and the only one in there is tetris. Shouldn't there be more?

You're absolutely right! 
I always forget some damn file. You'll need to put this in the hl2d/maps/ folder. Original release also fixed. Sorry

in-game triggers to switch the camera from the x, y, and z axes on-the-fly would be leet.

Post #240832
Yeah, why not?
Maybe a trigger where you can set any camera position and angle...
Sidenote: Shader water now works pretty good.

I'm experiencing a load of bugs in the latest release.
I'll list those which I remember
*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.
However after accedently saving in a very bad spot where I died a second after I had to restart the game and remove the save, and after doing that the camera was close again and I had no chance of survival
*After dieing a few times the blocks randomly started to travel faster, and again making it impossible to survive
*The game crashes on exit, so I need to shut it down a second time using Ctrl + Alt + Delete
And Im sure I forgot something, oh well, If I forgot it it probably wasn't that important.

showing off the water first thing huh?
It looks so fucking nice... I still want it but I wish it wasn't so heavy.
anyway, awsome job so far. You should port your water over to The Artifact later.

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

Trailer = Lolz ftw.
But seriously, in normal half-life, you can look straight up, you should be able to in HL2D. And also make it like so that you can turn your character by turning the mouse, so you dont have to hit the freaking left or right key to look that direction (think Codename: Gordon).

i said 'crosshair free-look', not 'crosshair-free look' i mean so you can move the crosshair anywhere on the screen.

Post #241809
That's an idea, but I don't think it should make too big a difference as the bullets are going to travel in one straight linear path. Unless you made them stop where the crosshair was located... although it would make knowing your aim is precise a bit nice. Such as KNOW that your bullet will hit the head or whatever.
Posted 16 years ago2007-12-23 14:03:58 UTC
Post #241811
I agree with Penguinboy. A "free" crosshair is much better - makes it easier to aim at stuff far away, even though the bullets travel in a straight line.
Also, the trailer = WIN. "Kom Igen Kommissarien" is such a win song
. Next time, add some 50 Hertz too.
Further, in the manual;
Btw, how do you actually enable top-down view? It's not in the manual, and it's on in trigger_camera : . I mean, how do you switch between topdown/sideview?

Further, in the manual;
You'll require Half-Life version 1110. (Steam recommended, WON largely untested!)Steam Half-Life is a bit above 1.1.1.0, isn't it? 1.1.1.0 is the latest WON version.

Post #241817
I imagine that would have to be map-specific right? Because I mean the Side-Scroller view set-up would be much different than the top-down. The top-down would be like normal half-life in third-person, minus the Y-Axis. Because you still have the X and Z axises... Therefore you can have non-linear game-play if you chose to. I mean, sure, you could have non-linear game-play with the Side-Scroller view, but it would be a bit more difficult... (aka jumping up on one level or another and having that path lead somewhere else...)

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

I must have an outdated FGD, because there's no such thing in my trigger_camera.
Edit: Indeed I was. Using the old hl2d.fgd instead of the spankin' flatlife.fgd. You win.

Nope, you did allright.
There is, however, a problem with backwards compability.
It should work normally with maps made using the RC2 fgd.
Not that there is any atm, but yeah...

I just downloaded this mod yesterday and I've got to say, it's one of the most fun I've played or mapped in for a while.
(I made a test map to test some of the features. >_>)
I've also got tons of .MOD files laying around my computer sleeping from other games I used to work with, I'd say around 20-50 different .MOD files.
If you want any, I'll need a site to upload some to so you could hear them.

Forgot to mention some bugs you probably already know about:
- Sometimes the player has trouble turning when there is a monster right in front of him.
- I kept getting stuck on an ammo box I could jump over in a test map.
- Headcrabs in my test map seemed to be limited to a certain square radius and couldn't jump out fully.
- Grunts don't follow 2D, but you probably don't have them implemented yet.
- The shotgun in 2D form rocks.

- I kept getting stuck on an ammo box I could jump over in a test map.Hm, sounds weird

- Grunts don't follow 2D, but you probably don't have them implemented yet.Yes they do, but they require info_nodes.

First off, I can't quote right. So here goes. >_>
1. The monster was a monster_zombie- I had walked up to it on accident and couldn't move away until I killed it.
2. My bad, it wasn't an ammo box. It was the 80x48x48 foot locker prefab in the Crates list.
3. Oops, it was a test map, though...

Hmm, it might be because I'm using it on WON. I deleted the old version and replaced with the new update again, but I'm still getting errors.
Srry and I could act as representatives of Steam play and WON play.
I am running 1.1.1.0, though, so it couldn't be an .exe update problem. All said, I'm basically running the latest Half-Life, though I did read in the Readme that it should work with Half-Life 1.1.1.0.
EDIT: I'd have to say the latest release is incompatible with the WON version of Half-Life.
