VALVE CUT CONTENT V2+1: Digging through Valve's trash since 2003! - Games

there's still a leftover from stealth in retail. npc_combine_s can be killed with a single headshot from any weapon if they are in unalerted idle state. not sure if that works on metropolices though.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;52967504]there's still a leftover from stealth in retail. npc_combine_s can be killed with a single headshot from any weapon if they are in unalerted idle state. not sure if that works on metropolices though.[/QUOTE] I'll go check the code, but remember that this mechanic goes all the way back to Quake II, maybe Quake I. In II, shooting unalerted enemies deals them twice as much damage; e. g. you can one-shot idle Gunners with the railgun, while ones that are on alert, take 2 shots. I'll see if it's some generalised rule for idle NPCs.

Anyone here who's also compiled spotlight_corridor2; does yours look like Butou's or mine? [t]https://i.imgur.com/KcpX4Ac.png[/t]

I wonder if ValveTime will ever get around to releasing those VMFs.

[QUOTE=livelong;52976162]I wonder if ValveTime will ever get around to releasing those VMFs.[/QUOTE] Many information does not correspond in reality. All trailers were shown in 2006. Now guess which month? [U]23th December 2006[/U].

what about the part that's in comic sans that says temp texture? those words are part of the texture and are an integral part of hl2 beta art design. [editline]15th December 2017[/editline] jk jk very nice work

Wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it weren't for the S being slightly off, and the wear/tear being slightly different.

Anyone happen to have the TF2 SFM leak? Looks like this: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/aUJxKlkh.png[/IMG] According to the discussions I've found, it was present in the TF2 beta's GCFs, at varying periods. One poster states it was around in September of 2009, and TCRF states that it was in 2010. It was functional enough to make basic testing renders, but was still "missing some fundamental features". However, no download links remain (if there ever were any). I want to get a copy of this, especially since the real deal has been out there forever.

Anyway, enginetools.zip was the file and it looks like it has disappeared from the Internet, so here's a copy: [url]https://expirebox.com/download/116d40705ca66a742c4702dc55dbd60f.html[/url] I doubt it will load in the newest Team Fortress 2 though.

the problem is that valve lock down the engine is loading tools due to the leak of source 2007 (see alien swarm you can load tool whit the command "loadtool" if i'm not wrong) so its not possible to use it in Source 2007/2013 has far a think.

I think it might have all happened on HL2World which is probably why it appears to have disappeared from the Internet.

Another thing - I've been working on this article about Half Life 2's cut visgroups for a while: [URL="http://vcc.wikia.com/wiki/Half_Life_2_-_Unused_Visgroups"]http://vcc.wikia.com/wiki/Half_Life_2_-_Unused_Visgroups [/URL] I'm curious what your thoughts are about it.

its real cool for people who want to know about the unfinished parts of the game they're actually playing, rather than older leak worldcraft maps or way old versions of the retail maps thereof.

One of the things that it bothered me in HL2 games is that the voices of the Combine Soldiers are too distorted and low to heard what they say usually, most of the time you must be hidden to listen to their dialogs, is not like in GoldSrc which it was at least high. Btw you guys forgot about a couple on the first trainstation: a trigger_hurt and a game_text which implies the player could be shot to death if it left the platform and started to run back into the rails, as well as brushes indicating the old versions of the Train Station, with a second floor and all.
