[QUOTE=bs_1;32966227]Oh, now that you mention it that's why I never played the mod after installing it.[/QUOTE]
11 is the only one that doesn't let you have steam running
Not true.
I have been able to test every single version of this shit of mod with Steam running.
[QUOTE=Mattey;32966534]Not true.

even 11? Because for me, and a ton of other people 11 fails to start if steam is running. HOWEVER you can turn on steam while the game is running.
So, I call BS on you.
[QUOTE=Dracon;32966305]11 is the only one that doesn't let you have steam running[/QUOTE]
Hmm, I couldn't get 10 to work with Steam running (hence me never playing it). Maybe it was something on my end then.
So this guy ships a copy of the Source engine (not sure what revision) some tool he's stolen from Visual Studio to patch said engine binaries, and a bunch of overdone textures and models.
Why is this a mod again?

It has a patched version of HL2.exe that allows it to eat more RAM than it should, and some custom DLLs and stuff.

It wasn't a desert beach... it was just a beach. Actually it wasn't a beach at all before the Combine showed up, the Shore line used to go up to the highway, look where the boat is sitting.
The Dead trees in Default HL2 were either left over from when the original story idea was the Combine were replacing the earths atmosphere, or its suppose to be fall.

i wouldn't be surprised if he stored them in BGRA instead of DXT5 :v:
to give you an idea, at this resolution, there's practically no noticeable visual difference between the two, but

But, the beach is on the edge of the wasteland ([url]http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Wasteland[/url]) so there shouldn't be much plant life there at all. The trees in the mod don't fit in with the location.
Wrote a blog about it on ModDB.
--------------------
Now i don't regularly write blogs and stuff but this is a special one.Be advised i only know very basic grammar in English, so don't go grammar on me.Now let us start the train wreck that is FakeFactory.
Now this is what FakeFactory Cinematic mod is suppost to be the following
"Imagine, a Hollywood producer got his hands on the game. The result would be similar to what the Cinematic Mod is: a graphics blockbuster, redesigned to the typical game to movie adaption with an orchestral soundtrack and beautiful people everywhere. "
Cinematic mod isn't really what it thinks it is.Cinematic is more like a good idea that decided around its adolescence to go in the way of Drugs, sex and rock n' roll.Sadly only the drug part actually happened.
Don't get me wrong, when Cinematic was very young, it was good.It never did silly thing and change himself all the way to 4096x everywhere.But then he started growing up.He learnt he can be 4096x, but it was dangerous.Around this time cinematic had hit the high mark in his development.He became a pervert.Cinematic wasn't the normal boy he used to be with a few pimples on his face.The drugs got to him and started to destroy his teeth and face.He was being eaten from inside.
[thumb]http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/6218/downsimage.png[/thumb]
The drugs were still fueling him and his weird perverted mind go him.He began to destroy himself.He became shunned.Only a few of his friends who deal him his dosage and his like minded friends follow him around.Banished from all the public places, he made a home for himself in a junk yard.It was abandoned, so he could invite all his friends to share the drugs they had.The abuse was too much, his mind collapsed and he became insane.The fantasies in his mind went to nightmares and all the things he had became waste.
Now lets enter the mind of cinematic.We will study him and see what we can know about him.

Why, who is this ? He is dressed pretty weird.I don't remember him in Half Life 2.Oh, hold on, is this...Barney ? MY GOD ! What have they done to you ?!
Hopefully Alyx is around.I still remember her, she was quite pretty.Especially in the 4th one.That was a very nice touch...Remember ?

Hold on... i think i can hear something.Alyx ? Alyx !? ALYX !
[thumb]http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/2238/cm113p.jpg[/thumb]
Oh God ! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU ! YOU'RE HIDEOUS ! CINEMATIC ! WHY ! WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS !?
*deep breath*
Okay, calm down, guy.It's okay.Gman will teleport us out of here.
Maybe that bloke over there will know where Gman is.
Excuse me, sir, do you...

Oh...my...no...why...Gman ? Do you remember me ? G...man ? ( By the way, nice tan )
No, i must go.Nothing can be done.
*Teleporting out*
Cinematic destroyed himself.He was a young sweet boy with much vision in his eyes but the 4096x drugs and his mind got the best of him.He was still artistic in his ability to build a feel in a sandbox, but his interpretation of the human look was gone.He wasn't what he used to be.As he aged, his metabolism became bigger.He became fat and ugly.Now, almost no one liked him.He had a few guys come around him and express that he should change but he was still ignorant of his ways.
Cinematic still didn't understand himself.He needed to change everything.He changed himself completely every time he got his dose.It was starting to get crazy, but his drug buddies kept agreeing with him and that is what kept him going.He started to sexualize women and men.It wasn't normal, regular Alyx or anyone else.It was plastic men who he colored with paint he found at the junk yard.
[thumb]http://legacy.cubeupload-dev.com/files/8747b6d1canals01a0039.jpg[/thumb]
Everyone started getting scared.He wasn't going insane, he was insanity.The mind that was so precious to him was now gone.Everything that was done him was awful.Due to him also not being a very social person, he didn't know how a regular person looked.All he knew what his mind was sending him.
[thumb]http://legacy.cubeupload-dev.com/files/6959fad1canals020065.jpg[/thumb]
While he has survived this long, we don't know when will Cinematic fall.Maybe one day he will be rescued by some stranger or maybe he will just forget to wake up.
But that was the story of Cinematic, the mod that could, but didn't.
It's wierd how i wanted to make a casual and laid back review of cinematic which turned into a small story of cinematic, the mod that failed to achieve.When i started writing i somehow derailed the review and just made a interesting short story that i based on a story my histroy teacher told us to summarize World War 1.It was quite a funny one, but this one isn't meant to be.
So remember modders, don't be Cinematic, be yourself and don't try to over achieve, you will just destroy yourself.
snip was suppost to be LMAO threads

Glad you enjoyed it.
One reason i wont get this mod is because of the model's.
Disable them and you got a junkload of 29GB of model's.
and i thought this pack was big, but my entire gmod folder is more like 100GB. :P
I gotta stop downloading stuff i will never use.

I find it hilarious. He's found a use for the same prop in the new versions so that's great!
