Hello everyone,

I've been working on a single player HL mod for two years that is nearly complete. It features custom code, models, maps, shaders, and more.

I'm looking for testers to install and confirm successful completion of the game.

What is Transmissions : Element 120?
A short single player experience set in the Half-Life Universe featuring a unique gravity defying weapon that allows you to jump buildings and sustain large falls. The story takes place at a mysterious date & location after the events of Half-Life : Episode 2. Where are you? Why have you been sent? To help bring the Source Engine up to date several new features are included:
-Enhanced dynamic lighting
-Integrated Source Shader Editor 0.5 for enhanced post processing & lighting
-Improved support for complex physics structure
-Support for super massive physics objects
-Improved AI and group behavior on multiple AI types

Worth taking a look i guess

So you just want people to make sure it's playable?

Pretty much This is my third beta release, so this is most likely the first press release build, I just want to make sure its as bug free as possible.

Looks like some damn fine mapping, I'll check it out.

Also, this:

Where are you? Why have you been sent? To help bring the Source Engine up to date

confused me for a second, I thought it was a meta mod where you had to fight to improve the Source Engine from within.

Just gave it a shot and after a first glance the mapping is amazing. Nice use of the light gameplay with turrets and zombies. QR codes are not a bad idea either

So far did not see any bugs or anything that would impact gameplay. Have not played a proper mod like this since R&D years ago.

However the fps is quite low, could be because of my laptop. Though in CS:GO i get 70-100 fps and here im sitting at 20-30.

Sound could use some work, especially in the beginning, does not relay ambiance and it feels like everything is happening right next to you.

But all that said great job, the attention to detail is amazing to say the least.

Thanks! For the most part it should be optimized to 30-40 fps on desktops about 2 years old or less. Heavy use of dynamic lighting & reflections are very demanding, more so than most CS:GO maps I expect.

Laptops, even new ones, are likely to struggle.

That was fantastic. I'll leave a proper review on Run Think Shoot Live when I get a moment.

Edit:
And done

The last battle area looked fantastic. A bit like how I imagine the original vision for HL2 would look, all run-down industrial with a very dark atmosphere. The modified Grav Gun made that fight insanely fun too, it had me leaping all over the map in search of RPG ammo, and I ended up finishing off the last Strider by hand-tossing a primed grenade it's way from up on the tower.

Great work, Shokunin. I feel like some of the ideas weren't fleshed out enough for something this length, and the start is definitely the weakest area, but it's a really creative mod regardless.
