Fakefactory Cinematic Mod went non-public. (aka. Whiners win) - Games

[QUOTE=eXeC64;24495921]16-bit is for indecisive twats who cant choose between 8-bit and 32-bit. Everyone knows 8-bit games were the best. Especially the music :) I've never had an 8-bit game crash. But then again neither has my 64-bit linux system crashed. Can't say the same about my old 32-bit windows :)[/QUOTE] 16-bit computers, not games. :l

Why doesn't FP work together to make their own HD mod that everyone will tolerate. I'm not trying to bring the argument of "if you don't like it make your own" I'm just saying that there are a lot of talented skinners and stuff to make a HD mod or atleast fix and improve some of the horrible looking shit, or fix other things. I dunno.

Disappointing

Like the 357 world model is horrid, why not get a few people to fix that. like X is horrid, why not get a few people to fix X

The Portal 2 collab is pretty good proof that if FP wants to do something they will, an HD mod really isnt in that high of demand.

If you don't install the models, it's actually an incredible mod IMO.

[QUOTE=FagFactory][B][B]This project has gone non-public. I'm really tired of the braindead comments about [U]optional[/U] HD models.[/B][/B][/QUOTE] Probably tells you something about the quality of your work, doesn't it? I don't know how many of you have been around since the 'good old days', but this is his yearly ultra-bitch. Basically, around Christmas time, he'll release a 'surprise' pack of some kind and make the mod available to everyone again, with a note like "plz stup harasng me abowt my terble modles!" and include something like 60 various horrible looking skimpy Alyx models with varying degrees of slutty makeup. All of this has happened before, and will happen again... again... again... [IMG]http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6357/thisishowfakefactoryloo.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Ehanced_AI;24497806]Like the 357 world model is horrid, why not get a few people to fix that. like X is horrid, why not get a few people to fix X[/QUOTE] Done that a few years ago. :smile:

FF's mod is stupid. He's used really silly methods to make the game look better and it's horribly optimized. Not to mention the models and textures break the games art style and feeling (while also looking completely out of place.

Man, this thread is full of :downs: people defending the mod. It's not his mod. It's a collection of mods sticky-taped together and then stolen to create one crappy-ass mod.

It's not the first time he has done like this. If I'm not mistaken 2 years ago was the same story. He is just trying to make you draw attention to him and then he will release his shitty mod again like it was before.

I find it funny that the guy stealing everything is named FakeFactory.

It went downhill after FF5 When he fucked up Alyx

[QUOTE]People dont like my mod so its now private :downs:[/QUOTE] :cawg: Oh wow, if i was him i wouldnt have done this.

I never liked the mod to begin with, when I first heard about it, I thought it would be cool, because I thought it just improved the graphics, but once I saw what he did to Alyx, I couldn't stand it. Shes likable because shes like the girl next door, not some slut with E cups with a bra showing.

This is bad guys. We won't have any golden material that provides us with countless laughs anymore.

[quote]FAKEFACTORY 3hours 17mins ago replied: I stole other models? As i stated in the readme, i'm using poser pro models, attached and refitted to the valve skeletton. Have you ever read the readme? I guess not. Valve textures with just a filter overlayed? This shows me, you never played the mod. Point. Decompiled Maps? Yes. Separate dlls? Yes, because they need to be large address aware. But this is a programmers thing, probably beyound your intellectual horizon. Closed source? No. Everyone can get my sourcecode changes, as stated in the installers eula. But i see... i cannot stop all the bullshit here with arguments. And i'm to old to bow down before such kiddies like you. But i've learned one thing: It may be okay to release a mod, if you are hoping for a game industries job or something... ... BUT NEVER release a mod without financial interest or just to give some people a little bit replay fun.[/quote] [quote] Then, why the hell did you promised us a fully converted HL2 COMPLETE SAGA (including EP3)? HUH?! If you make a mod IS YOUR OWN JOB, the only things that you may take from ANY comments are BUG REPORTS or improvements proposals... Now you come telling us that you're going to stop this MOD's development just for some IDIOT'S comments? I, as MANY others, love your job, and I KNOW that it is a HARD job... I'm not an IGNORANT as all those who think you just stole someone else's work... I just can't believe that a MAN, with life experience, is pulling back just for some KIDS... That shows me you are not as mature as I thought... I really admired you 'cause I APPRECIATE your effort, but THIS?!! You can NOT pretend to stop all those STUPID trolls around there... It is just impossible, and you SHOULD know it!!! It's common in the WHOLE INTERNET!!! They're just people who could NEVER do something good by themselves... so they blame their frustration into others. But you, you did something MORE THAN GOOD... it is AMAZING, ADMIRABLE!!! But I understand that you may be were waiting for some congratulations from people... the problem is... that you DON'T appreciate how many of us like this work!!! And why do you pay attention to those comments of the models? I mean... It is NOT your problem if they don't know that there's a README file... I think you should just ignore those buggers... What do you think huh?!!! AM I RAIGHT?!!!![/quote] He's mad [editline]09:28PM[/editline] Sorry to PelPix123 by the way, I copypasta his whole post, because I was too busy to rephrash it. Sorry again, man.

It's funny because the people bitching about FF's stuff are the same people who like STALKER mods like LURK or Oblivion Lost. :v: Yeah sure, he stole Poser models. Big whoop. The changes he's done for the environments are fucking amazing.

He's such a drama queen. He's one of those recluse crazies who feeds off conflict and attention, no matter how negative it is. It's like that meme; "Your resistance only makes my penis harder" Except it's not resistance it's disgust, and it's not his penis it's... well, maybe it is, I don't know for sure. Just give him a few months to calm down. No one actually cares about the possibility that he stole some crappy poser models - it's the fact that he's USING CRAPPY POSER MODELS that pisses people off.

[QUOTE=NikoChekhov;24531459]What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?[/QUOTE] He's implying that FakeFactory is a genuinely good mod. He is wrong.

I hate the character replacements but generally like the prop reskins. Eh, sue me for having an opinion

[QUOTE=NikoChekhov;24531459]What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?[/QUOTE] I mean the people who bitch about him stealing stuff encourage the same things for other games. Just funny to me.

I tried to give him constructive criticism on how to improve the models. He told me they were good points. I pretty much said that for some reason only the male citizen models and Barney fit the Half-Life 2 style as they look oppressed (except Asian Dude, and Eli), and I suggested that he attempt to make the female models the same way as honestly big breasts and makeup is not Post-Apocolyptic/Oppressed, and that he should someone unsexify them so that it would be a bit more realistic on that part. The map improvements are great though. here's a screenshot I took [img]http://i43.tinypic.com/t6dq95.jpg[/img]

I liked Fake Factory 2 and 3, and then the grain factor started getting to the point of an eye strain. Just look at the post above mine.
