Possible actually. Might be the shader water.
Guess I'll have to release a WON version without it, use the old version in the meantime.

I am. Working on a level right now, too. I'll have to change the trigger_set_camera when you release the new WON-compatible, though.

Getting the same error as Felix the Third in Steam.

Damn, I fail. devil.dll should be in the Half-Life dir, not the hl2d one. Just move it if you already downloaded it.

Felix the third, please try this too so I'll see if Shader Water works in WON.

Edit: Updated archive.
Download!

You know what bothers me? That you seem to master C++ programming. C++ looks like hitting random keys on your keyoard to me. :gak:

Yes, i admit it, im jealous. :nuts:

Don't worry, most of the stuff in C++ is just the API consisting of libraries to make your life easier. A language only has to be able to receive input, write output, basic mathematical functions ( + - / * MOD), loop code, compare (AND,OR,XOR,NOT), and store data in memory (Variables and objects), and create multiple threads to run different parallel processes. Everything else is just other classes which are used to simplify complex tasks.

#include &lt;math.h&gt;

This library has all the mathematical functions , doesn't it ?

Imho, you should add a topdown view multiplayer mode. Like that flash game stick arena. Then you might even create a community around the game on its own. :^_^:

That'd be fun, but there is one big problem.
Spirit's really dodgy-crappy multiplayer support.

If it works you should develop it. Maybe add some special powerups or something that to make it more comic-like (if that's what your're aiming for ;) )

I juts "re-installed" this and now every time I start the game, the whole screen is pitch black! I know the menu buttons are still there because I can put my mouse over it and hear the sounds but that's about all I can do... Help? -I'm using Steam HL

EDIT: Never mind... I just had to restart HL about 6 times.... -_-

Hey Chickenfist! You've got competition!!

Actually, they were first :P. Their mod is sidescrolling multiplayer only though, which I've decided to not implement to avoid competition.

So what if they're first? They're a lot of mods with the same idea. They're a lot of mods out there that includes 1 zombie that eats someone, he becomes zombie etc etc...for example! They're are two Firearms 2 mods for source. I don't see any of them stopping because of that.. Another example!

You should add side-view multiplayer imho. Add some power-ups aswell, to both side-view and topdown-view. Like 'extra dmg', 'immune to dmg shield', 'extra speed', 'transparent'. They would last 10-20 sec or something. It be quite entertaining to play flat-life on a server, that switches between side-view/topdown-view maps every 10 mins.

I can already see the promotion trailer..

You've played ragnarok arena? ..
And you liked it?
WELL...

Come to think of it, having a bot named after you could be part of the prize in the FL mapping compo. ;)

I agree, who cares?!? Play it and learn from their mistakes, that is always the best way to make a mod. You should always strive to learn what works and what doesn't. A smart mapper does this too

Flat-Life is way better than Fagnarok.

I'm going to see if I can map for it over the weekend.

You're probably right, and as it's really easy to enable : Platform-Multiplayer in RC3!11 xD

Also, good thinking Daubster! Said and done, compo winners now get their name on a bot, with any player model they want. ;)

halflife_genius, latest version download is here!

Posted 16 years ago2008-02-09 13:35:48 UTC Post #245368
That probably means that you're missing some secondary dll.

Make sure that devil.dll, cg.dll and cgGL.dll are present in your Half-Life directory and that fmod.dll is present in the hl2d directory.

Found a bug. I just made two good maps, they have a trigger_change level and landmarks in both of them set correctly. When i step into the trigger, it doesnt switch the map, but instead quits the game. + Gives No Errors.

Note to everyone mapping for Flat-Life
If you're having problems with ladders and/or changelevels please leave them as they are. They will work in RC3 which will be out today or tommorow!

Posted 16 years ago2008-02-13 09:52:06 UTC Post #245569
I don't like deadlines either. It's better to release something good than to release something in time.
In RC2 I think you forgot to remove/comment some parts out in the mp5 code.
When you reload you see a white text at the bottom right saying "Reloading...".

Posted 16 years ago2008-02-13 09:54:29 UTC Post #245570
It's supposed to be there, actually. :P
There's no reload animation on the models so instead there's a text so you know when you're done reloading.

Posted 16 years ago2008-02-13 09:55:28 UTC Post #245571
deadlines are a "I think I can" kinda thing... and for your audience its a "I hope it does." They're sometimes good, but taking your time for quality is more worth it.

i really agree with ya on that one. Better to let off little hints and pictures of what's to come so people keep checking it out to ask "Is it ready yet??"
Posted 16 years ago2008-02-17 00:36:04 UTC Post #245791
OMG I'm a tard...

When I read the first page of this when it came out I thought it was for HL2 because of the title: "HL2D!"... After I saw questions about Flat-Life mapping in the HL Engine forum, I finally saw the light! : O

Downloading now.... = )

I always wanted to make a 8-bit Metroid or Super Mario Brothers recreation like this! I dicked around with trigger cameras and then the 3rd-person console command for Gordon, but gave up rather quickly.

The top-down idea pwns... I never even considered that one. Now I'm thinking 2-player coop like Ikari Warriors or Heavy Barrel, with Gordon and Barney! :nuts:
