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.

-

This version contains maps, fgd, well, all you need. Enjoy.

Needs Moar Mirrorz

ChickenFist · 2008-03-25 15:54:08 UTC

Just added one.

monster_urby · 2008-03-25 16:12:32 UTC

Splendid

Oskar Potatis · 2008-03-25 17:53:47 UTC

Bug: You can't see other players (MP).
I played 1on1 and I couldn't see my enemy and my enemy couldnt see me.
We could see the bullets when shooting though.

monster_urby · 2008-03-25 19:08:35 UTC

It was a helluva lot of fun though >:)

ChickenFist · 2008-03-25 19:31:23 UTC

The server crashed :S.
Well, atleast we found quite a few bugs I'll go fix. Check back soon for a patch. Thanks guys.

monster_urby · 2008-03-25 19:33:23 UTC

Dude! We could see!

ChickenFist · 2008-03-25 19:34:51 UTC

Seriously? What did you do?

Oskar Potatis · 2008-03-25 19:35:09 UTC

And not just dead people!

monster_urby · 2008-03-25 19:36:09 UTC

I have no idea what we did

We just, started seeing each other

Not in that way...

ChickenFist · 2008-03-25 19:57:31 UTC

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

Edit: It is all well and good; it works.

monster_urby · 2008-03-25 20:45:52 UTC

You have yourself a mapper

Oskar Potatis · 2008-03-25 21:47:42 UTC

Make that TWO mappers.

HLGenius · 2008-03-25 22:58:30 UTC

wow!! Flat-life is...from the scale of 1 too 10...um...i'll put 11 ( oh, sorry #'s available are only 1 to 10

srry · 2008-03-26 04:10:35 UTC

Penguinboy · 2008-03-26 04:24:04 UTC

uhh...yeah. we tried to play this, but all the players were invisible.

monster_urby · 2008-03-26 05:40:26 UTC

Yeah, we got that last night.

It worked after restarting a team game. Odd.

gordonfreeman · 2008-03-26 06:00:16 UTC

Hey man looks good but need a bit more work I think, buggy as hell, for example.. tunnels, sometimes I get stuck in the corner trying to swim up. Also when I die on the snowy bridge it reloads but the place is covered by something so I can't see my player then. Also, give more medkits

ZombieLoffe · 2008-03-26 10:31:58 UTC

A lot of bugfixing is up to the individual map-maker's, not the mod's own design. For instance, the player getting stuck on objects is entirely the fault of the author of the map.

Very good work, ChickenFist.

SpaG · 2008-03-26 11:17:14 UTC

Downloading now. Will try later

Striker · 2008-03-26 11:29:59 UTC

Downloading now . I can't wait to see how many maps are included

.

Skals · 2008-03-26 11:47:17 UTC

The Server Crushed right when i was trying to download a map off the server. Strange Huh? Conciquence?

ChickenFist · 2008-03-26 13:04:14 UTC

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.

Edit: Thanks for the mirror muzzle!

Skals · 2008-03-26 13:19:36 UTC

dude u still havent replaced the old tp_barrenbox with the new one.

its in the maps vault. just download it and replace it. there are also new textures in the hl2d_Skals.wad so replace that too please.

The Mad Carrot · 2008-03-26 13:29:08 UTC

Skals: Wadinclude.

Skals · 2008-03-26 13:34:39 UTC

i told chicken to include the wad. looks like he didnt. dont blame me

The Mad Carrot · 2008-03-26 13:37:15 UTC

No, i said WADINCLUDE. Compile the wad into the bsp. Very easy to do with the Compilator, if you're still using it.

Skals · 2008-03-26 13:50:12 UTC

Ill try muzz!

edit:

Heres ur wad. include http://twhl.co.za/vault.php?map=5043

saw1833 · 2008-03-26 15:44:40 UTC

"could not load library c:\program files\steam\steamapps\murder1833\half-life\hld2\cl_dlls\client.dll"
My lovely little welcome screen when opening Flat Life...

Skals · 2008-03-26 16:39:19 UTC

but did u extract and replace the old dlls tho?

-- Did u even download the full version before installing the patch? lol

saw1833 · 2008-03-26 16:41:56 UTC

yes. what do i look like, you?

Caboose · 2008-03-26 16:54:57 UTC

Very awesome, ChickenFist. I can't wait to see more maps for this.. in fact, I might even have a go at making one myself.

Captain P · 2008-03-26 19:01:17 UTC

Just popping up to say 'good work'. Because it sure looks interesting. Keep it up ChickenFist!

Skals · 2008-03-27 09:27:08 UTC

Theres a new version btw:

http://hampe.1go.dk/flatlife10b-patch.zip

ZombieLoffe · 2008-03-27 11:59:28 UTC

Spent a few minutes playing with Skals. It's GREAT fun in multiplayer... incredible how old 2D top-down mode can be so entertaining.

Gonna map for it now.

Skals · 2008-03-27 12:08:25 UTC

same

HLGenius · 2008-03-27 12:36:32 UTC

Wait a second...can you make a good spash screen for Flat-life and um...console splash screen??It will look better if you or some other member makes one.

HLGenius · 2008-03-27 12:41:04 UTC

Me haves a problem...the maps (the ones for Hl1) appears not the ones for flat-life please help me

Skals · 2008-03-27 13:16:01 UTC

wait, so you just cant avoid them? ...

ChickenFist · 2008-03-28 15:38:48 UTC

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)?

saw1833 · 2008-03-28 15:41:40 UTC

oh wow, none of them.... i checked all the subdirectories too. but i havent actually played half-life since i installed it on this computer... maybe that has something to do with it?

ChickenFist · 2008-03-28 15:44:05 UTC

Hm, don't think so, they're all shipped with Flat-Life.

Try redownloading 1.0 full and then the patch

saw1833 · 2008-03-28 15:53:20 UTC

mmm that worked. thanks

monster_urby · 2008-03-29 16:03:00 UTC

Played with bots the other day. Even that was amusing.

Well done ChickenFist. You made HL fun again.

Now do it with Source

Oskar Potatis · 2008-03-29 16:31:16 UTC

Bug:

Is my name too long?

ChickenFist · 2008-03-29 18:42:15 UTC

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.
