Multi-player in Half-life 2 - Games

No, I'm not talking about OC or Synergy. I speak of hosting a server in HL2 Apparently with the update you can now, but how exactly.

I noticed it as well, it now shows up as a valid game when using the "Browse servers" option. It could just be a glitch coming from how they ported it to the mac.

sorry

-insecure in launch options to begin with, otherwise youll crash. Youll also need to use net_start and if possible sv_lan 0 Then a person puts connect IP in console. You could always do this though, dont see whats so new about it. Also dont expect it to run completely smooth, it loves to crash.

well that worked most excellently we just crash every few minutes in the same place. [editline]08:50PM[/editline] And I got myself scared fucking shitless when a large gray blob came running up to me like Minecraft

Wait I thought portals don't work online (hence why there's no portal gun in Garry's mod). Could be wrong I'll have to try that soon. Synergy is fun for spamming the preset voice clips while running at combine though :D

D/C'd after Gman stopped talking :[

no it are crashed I shot someone with a shotgun.

Too bad there isn't a player model for Gordon. Otherwise this would be the shiznit.

For all it's worth, Synergy and Obsidian Conflict will need some fixing anyway due to these updates.

I love how players all are floating weapons or a Man shaped Blob.

And that your penis is a pistol

[QUOTE=RikohZX;22206449]Synergy and Obsidian Conflict will need some fixing anyway due to these updates.[/QUOTE] Last time i checked, everything was still working like usual despite the update.

Why even try to host HL2? I personally never noticed anything weird when HL2 maps are ran through Garrys Mod, even when people love to build stuff in weird places and kill the the NPC's, especially the point insertion chapter.

Is the portal game still up? [editline]04:47AM[/editline] I guess that is a no. Could someone else try and set one up?

Wait, did you fix the problem where going near a portal insta-crashes you? Because I remember a while ago I made a portal server and that would happen.

[QUOTE=FoohyAB;22208944]Wait, did you fix the problem where going near a portal insta-crashes you? Because I remember a while ago I made a portal server and that would happen.[/QUOTE] I don't believe that problem has been fixed. Although, it would be awesome if someone did manage to fix it.

[QUOTE=PVT drone536;22206873]I love how players all are floating weapons or a Man shaped Blob.[/QUOTE] It's a unfinished Gordon Freeman model I believe.

Could someone send me a free copy of HL2 so i can play with them? :sigh:

When the map changes, the game fucks up, any fix for this? I'm using this in my launch options [code]-insecure +maxplayers 8 +sv_lan 0 +heartbeat +net_start +map d3_c17_01[/code]

Can we get a server up for portal or hl2?

Ive been doing this since half-life 2 beta.

[QUOTE=doonbugie2;22244677]Ive been doing this since half-life 2 beta.[/QUOTE] Well aren't you special.

I forget what command it is, but in portal, you can set each player to have an ID (1-9 I think) and all of their portals will have that ID so player 3's portals only link with player 3's portals instead of all portals linking and getting fucked up.

Sweet, we need a secure Portal server :v:
