Enhanced halflife engine? Created 8 years ago2016-01-25 18:04:10 UTC by twitch1

Is there anything available for download that would allow me to play halflife deathmatch with more of an enhanced halflife engine capability like the new sven coop? I would use sven coop if it allowed for playing a normal deathmatch gamemode but it doesn't. I can't code so I can't tweak anything. I need bigger map capability and maybe bigger textures options to run some of the bigger maps I've made for lan use.

I could port my maps to black mesa source to get a similar gaming experience comparable to hl1 deathmatch but that would be a lot of work and I enjoy playing many other custom maps.

Thanks!

Half-Life: Source?

I haven't taken a look at that. Will my goldsrc maps work on that and will my bigger maps perform better?

Thanks!

Technically they'll work if you just recompile them for Source. But of course, you'll want to adjust them to justify the switch to Source.

I looked at the differences and it looks like almost all of the entities are obsolete for source to include the multi-managers which would require a lot of work and research to get swapped over. Think if I do that, I would do it for blackmesa source. Would be a lot of work but it might be worth it. Also, unfortunately, there isn't a lot of custom maps available for BMS yet

Black Mesa Source or HL Source have similiar gameplay to Half life? HA HA

-> No they don't

So you build maps for HLDM that you can't launch? Or do you just need a newer enginge to have them running more smoothly?

You can take a look at the very old buggy probably broken ArrangeMode REBIRTH mod or use Trinity Engine which is more recent.
