Welcome to yesterday [editline]24th February 2012[/editline] No actually make that 2 days ago
Getting it ASAP.
That first scare, I don't want to spoil it but oh my goodness you might have a heartattack.
This has literally been on 95% for 2 years and I have visited that page every damn day. Afraid of Monsters is amazing as hell, but my main concern so far are the cheap scares. I do not like stuff going all in yo face :< [sp] It's really the first scare that had me. The tension of expecting more keeps going from there[/sp] Also, if anyone could tell me how I can host a working co-op session when I have a router I would be much obliged.
It's scary as hell for me so far, but I've not managed to get far due to lag and crashing issues unfortunately. This is especially problematic considering you can only save at checkpoints.
From what I've played it's pretty awesome, but it crashes every 30 minutes or so for me, so I'm just gonna wait for some kind of fix before playing it more.
The beggining is indeed very creepy. Some mechanics in this game are pretty fucking awesome too, like double-wielding a knife with your cellphone :v: Seriously though, dodging makes a hell of a difference, I found myself yelling "come here uhn come here" while stabbing things, combat feels great. It's still in GoldSRC which gives it mixed reactions, considering how good graphics may be, there are still some technical issues. Overall, great mod, play it.
The coop wasn't really fun imo
my fucking PANTS
Not worth the space it takes up. Feels like they tried to make a first person Silent Hill, and failed miserably at it. Hell, the floating mattress dudes are like a cross between the Flesh Lips and Abstract Daddy from SH2.

That was [b]TERRIFYING.[/b]

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;34849470]I completed it yesterday, boyo.[/QUOTE] I just realized I completely assumed and gave a shit reply. My apologies. I should have read your reply better.
I like the part where you can get VAC banned for playing this then playing another hl1 mod without deleting a file
Wait I'm confused about this opengl nonsense now. If I played in a half-life 1 server after playing this mod does that mean I'd be vac banned? or is it only if it's another half-life 1 mod?
I kinda want to play this but i'm afraid of getting banned for somthing i don't really understand. [editline]24th February 2012[/editline] I just deleted the paranoia mod becuase apparently that has the same file.

[editline]24th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=dumbidiotretard;34849693]I like the part where you can get VAC banned for playing this then playing another hl1 mod without deleting a file[/QUOTE] Seriously? What file is it? I absolutely don't want to get VAC banned over something stupid like that.
[QUOTE=dumbidiotretard;34849693]I like the part where you can get VAC banned for playing this then playing another hl1 mod without deleting a file[/QUOTE] I think they fixed that

I absolutely don't want to get VAC banned over something stupid like that.[/QUOTE] OpenGL32.dll It's in the main half-life folder, just rename it before you try to play anything that isn't CoF.
[QUOTE=Lyoko774;34850771]OpenGL32.dll It's in the main half-life folder, just rename it before you try to play anything that isn't CoF.[/QUOTE] I had that file. Thank you so much.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;34852275]Shit I had that file in my folder. When you say [i]anything[/i], do you mean any game? Or just other source games?[/QUOTE] GoldSRC games, it hasn't been confirmed that you can get banned for it tough. But yeah, better safe than sorry. [editline]24th February 2012[/editline] Oh and also it's a great mod and these guys are good at it and crap, but am I the only person who thinks they're assholes?
It felt just like Fear, Cryostasis, Afraid of Monsters, Doom 3... It's only scary the first level or two, then it's a pattern of combat/scare/puzzle. Also that first scare was more annoying than anything. As a game, it's awesome, but it's just not my kind of horror game. The scares in the game have been done over and over for years now. Psychological horror is where it's at.
[QUOTE=MisterSjeiks;34852330]GoldSRC games, it hasn't been confirmed that you can get banned for it tough. But yeah, better safe than sorry.[/QUOTE] The devs recorded themselves playing half-life 1 deathmatch with the DLL. If they (and myself...) get vac banned we'll have an answer. Just gonna take a few weeks to get it.
I know you need HL for this, but do you need anything else or am I good to go?
All you need is HL1.
[QUOTE=postal;34852377]The devs recorded themselves playing half-life 1 deathmatch with the DLL. If they (and myself...) get vac banned we'll have an answer. Just gonna take a few weeks to get it.[/QUOTE] They were massive cunts about it, since when people told them it doesn't told them it doesn't vac ban in one day they got all defensive and cussed out everyone and called them retards. (And then they removed their video, what?)
I can't continue Cry of Fear because it crashes to desktop and says: "ED_Alloc: no free edicts" when I enter the sewers. Does anybody else have this problem?
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;34864484]All you need is HL1.[/QUOTE] Any idea if half life source will work?
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;34891356]Any idea if half life source will work?[/QUOTE] wont, hl1 uses source engine, this game requires hl1 engine
