Half-Life: dx Created 3 months ago2024-07-27 10:16:52 UTC by vef4

Hello friends,
I am thinking of making a small deathmatch mod for Half-Life. Basically, it will enhance a game play a bit.

Possible features:
-Restored some alpha weapons. i.e. minigun(monster_turret), hornet gun, alien chainsaw, snapbug.

-Some working weapon fixes. i.e.
--rocket launcher resemble the one in the hud picture. etc.
--trip mine, laser beam removal
--egon having a working secondary attack
--crossbow explosive ammo fix

-New ammo types/weapons:
--M-16/M-16 rifle
--one shot retro sniper rifle??
--..pending

-backpack system
-stamina system

All things will be made in the classical low-poly style.

That's great! Are you looking for people to help you?

If possible try implement it as a server plugin instead of a separate mod, because it's hard to capture and maintain a player base for a new mod, especially mp.

Kind of. I am still thinking. Because it will cost time. And I'll probably will need to deep dive into programming.

Player base? Probably... I am not sure.

A sketch of a possible way rpg could look, to match world model and the hud sprite. Free to use.
The only comment is that the overall size of the rocket pipe should be ~1.1 bigger.

possible use:
either as an monster;
either as a placeable sentry unit - weapon;

Where's the dl link to the beta hornet ?

to S23-down,
still didn't finish it, sorry.

New idea, switchable i.e. on and off HEV suit.
It runs on batteries. Batteries drain -1% in 10 seconds, or so.
When taking damage batteries drain faster.
When on, gives HUD, and works as armor, reducing all damage. Probably even heals you over time. +1 HP in 60 seconds.
When off you take all damage directly.
