I was recently listening to podcasts and found one about games.
exept this was done by two thirteen year olds. one of them is a massive fan of half-life.
I recently sent them an email and they started talking about an HL2 mod. they got the basic models done and everything.
they gave me the beta version to make a trailer for it and it's brilliant! the textures are great and the models. I'm impressed by them and they said they want me to put a version on the internet at some point. I've even got screencaptures. although their zombie has a error. when you kill it a headcrab appears from nowhere.
oh yeah I'm helping them and the beta isn't done yet
a mod done by young ones...

Sounds interesting. Post some pictures!
Although seriously, they asked you to upload it to the internets? They can make a mod but they can't upload? :S

Not bad. I mean it obviously isn't media worthy as it's low quality and small but I can see they are talented at switching heads on bodies.

The name of the mod is 7 Tasks source. they made a mod for hl1 called 7 tasks. they gave me that as well to compare. they want me to actually be a pulicicty guy. or I told them they need publicity with this mod so... I kinda took that role.
so they like the hl2 version better.
(off subject)
right now they're looking for voice actors.

Uhh, Imageshack doesn't resize or change the quality of any image under 1.5mb unless you tell it to. So it's not Imageshack's fault that the quality is bad. It's pretty much the best image upload site around.

Clicking an ImageShack link always sends you too ImageShack's stoopad page and ads, and NO. i don't want to send this image to twitter! DIE.

Wrong. If you replace the .myphp link to the direct link. No ads. Why don't people do this!

Not a bad retexure I guess but the labcoat is far too short. It would suggest they get someone who can model on the team.

Well at the moment ther's only one person actually working hard. they got some voice actors but not many. right now Alfred Turner's doing all the mapping modelling coding texturing... he's even writing the thing. but some of the team with a few things. like texture origins and voices. like I said earlier they want sopme voice actors.
[edit]
just got an email from one of the team members. it's a logo

Change blood to red, And make no headcrab. I think that code also stops it from spawning...

logo is really bad.
And when you're taking screenshots, put your graphics settings on max. You're taking still images, so it doesn't matter if your framerate is killed.

Post #263463
Im no expert on coding, but I think it's in the mod folder's Hl2_dll folder. I don't know where it is, but if you code the mod from scratch it should be there... Look around a bit, you'll probably find it, if not, just restart the mod using the HL2 base code and all the files you've made so far.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Ask muzzleflash or chickenfist. No, ask Muzzleflash, Chickenfist is'nt around anymore. I'd say you need a C++ compiler of some kind.

but I don't know how to because I've got microsoft visual studio 2008 and I want to know if i need to open up a project file or whatever. and I don't know what the output name's supposed to be.

You open up the project file, find the source file you wish to edit, make the changes, then compile the project. The end product is a dll file.

Post #263535
Where does it say you need to open the vcproj files?
That's right, nowhere.
That's right, nowhere.
In other words: the sln (solution) is the actual project file.Tip: For clarity, you may want to rename the project file from whatever_2005.sln to whatever_2008.sln.

Post #263536
but the project files within the solution don't seem to be read. so do I just add all of the hl2_dll files into the solution or what.
Posted 15 years ago2009-03-01 16:51:23 UTC
Post #263543
You CAN use notepad to edit the CPP files, I think, But you'd need to compile the DLL with visual studio 2008. I think. I am not an expert in coding, so you should probably ingnore this untill Muzzleflash or someone confirms it.

just found out I'm using c# instead of c++. I think visual studio c++ can make the .dll.

no steam. and theirs apparently. we were all friends with one guy and he invited us to join somewhere and we took the bait. all the progress of 7 tasks had to be stooped until we can get our accounts back
[edit]
im afraid for now 7 tasks is just 7 tasks. they haven't finished the hl1 version yet and thet're going to for the time being.
