Half-Life 2: Enhancement Mod (V5) - Games

[QUOTE=Marguy;46067510]The problem is that pretty much no-one goes on the official forums, though I suppose that's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.[/QUOTE] It's pretty much not many people go to the forums because not many people are on the forums, which in turn is because not many people go to the forums, because not many people are on the forums...etc. [B] On another note,[/B] We are going through a very big rough patch of development at the moment, mostly for the reasons that A) our coder left, and B) he was the one in charge of Greenlight and the steam app for the mod, and now won't relinquish, transfer, or at least give access to the rest of the core lead team (including me). We're also going about completely redesigning how we do things because we really didn't think it through very well before, and now we want to do it right. Aka why not much content has recently been done or shown. The new work systems we're planning out will, hopefully, get the ball finally moving again once they're finalized and put into action. In the meantime, I would ask that any coders that feel they're up to the job for working on this mod, please do not hesitate to post in the Application Area: [url]http://hl2em.com/forums/index.php/board,43.0.html[/url] What we ask is no easy task as we would need someone able to do a complete port of HL2 to the Alien Swarm engine, as well as extensive Source knowledge to do any other coding tasks we might need in the future. Good examples are coding new weapons, implementing new NPCs, fixing ASW's deferred lighting, and more.

Oh that's awful, he seemed pretty nice and trustworthy too... I know he had his own project but just packing up and leaving and taking all his work with him is really awful. I'm sure he has his reasons, but that is an extreme setback.

Do what you love and love what you do, there is a reason so many awesome people are working on this mod.

Well, I think I need to clarify something here. First, about Greenlight(or Steamworks). I did give full control, including publishing app changes, editing store/app data and even generating CD-Keys to Porky, Glitchvid, Rachet and Pinecleandog [B]a month ago[/B]. Check that out if you don't believe. Second, before I leave the team, I did told Glitchvid about how to upload changes to steam. In addition, I gave him a link to a fully documented help about how to use SteamPipe, by Valve. Sorry if you're offended, but I don't think your [QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;46068983]won't relinquish, transfer, or at least give access to the rest of the core lead team (including me).[/QUOTE] is true.

[QUOTE=gk99;46070286]I liked Ken up until about 10 seconds ago.[/QUOTE] Don't pass judgement with knowing just one side of the story.

[QUOTE=I am Error;46073370]Don't pass judgement with knowing just one side of the story.[/QUOTE] It's going to happen naturally, regardless of whether or not I want it to. And now I say: I disliked Ken until like 10 sec ago.

Some further clarification, communication between all of us is bit hard because of school and time zones. [QUOTE=Ken Chan;46073117] First, about Greenlight(or Steamworks). I did give full control, including publishing app changes, editing store/app data and even generating CD-Keys to Porky, Glitchvid, Rachet and Pinecleandog [B]a month ago[/B]. Check that out if you don't believe. [/QUOTE] This is true, I was locked out of Partners for a while, but I have permissions now, I assume the same for Porky. [QUOTE=Ken Chan;46073117] Second, before I leave the team, I did told Glitchvid about how to upload changes to steam. In addition, I gave him a link to a fully documented help about how to use SteamPipe, by Valve. [/QUOTE] Also true, although at the time I had stated that you should give Porky the guidance, since I don't know who Porky is going to hand the programming side off to. The documentation is also a easily found page that I linked corgi just now, communication is the issue. The steamworks project is technically owned by your account, which means you're the sole "Administrator" of it, that's what Porky was referring to.

[QUOTE=gk99;46074119]It's going to happen naturally, regardless of whether or not I want it to. [/QUOTE] and that's wrong.. logically and ethically

[I]Half-Life 2: Drama Enhancement Mod[/I] In all seriousness, I hope that everything gets figured out.

[QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;46053083]Actually they're on our forums- just in the dev section which is only visible to devs. I reposted it to the general discussion area for all to see: [url]http://hl2em.com/forums/index.php?topic=2489.msg2793#msg2793[/url][/QUOTE] I'm glad that the list of cars I made is being put to use, feel free to ask me anything if you have any questions on certain vehicles. (I like to believe that I am pretty good at identifying vehicles) Also it seems like the picture for the Avia A31 and Skoda-Liaz 706 RT are broken so have some new ones. Avia A31 [T]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Avia_A31_truck.jpg[/T] Skoda-Liaz 706 RT [T]http://www.carsfotodb.com/uploads/skoda/skoda-liaz-706-rt/skoda-liaz-706-rt-05.jpg[/T] Yeah it's a fire truck but the cab is relatively the same.

[QUOTE=gk99;46082568]I guess you don't have emotions then so w/e[/QUOTE] thinking ethically =/= having no emotions being angsty teen =/= having emotions

I think you should have made one of those "is equal to" :v:

[QUOTE=endorphinsam;46089990]thinking ethically =/= having no emotions being angsty teen =/= having emotions[/QUOTE] Having an initial reaction to hearing news =/= logical or ethical either, apparently.

Is it a shot in the water to ask if there is any progress to report?

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;46103833]Is it a shot in the water to ask if there is any progress to report?[/QUOTE] Right now there are 'structural reforms' taking place due to the fact that Ken Chan quit and our current development model isn't working.

It looks totally awesome! Is it avaible for download?

I'm really exited for this, I want to mod my game, I will be using the skins from gamebanana for the moment

I wouldn't mind those cars being added alongside HL2's though, as long as they're not taken from another game or something.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;46194278]I wouldn't mind those cars being added alongside HL2's though, as long as they're not taken from another game or something.[/QUOTE] They are taken from other games, but they are games that have announced their models to be public use, like STALKER Heck, even VALVe used STALKER models in L4D2

[QUOTE=RenaFox;46199118]Heck, even VALVe used STALKER models in L4D2[/QUOTE] No, not that shit again. Valve, GSC Game World and ID software just used the same libraries of the textures and models. They did no steal textures and models from each other.

[QUOTE=HASL;46199178]No, not that shit again. Valve, GSC Game World and ID software just used the same libraries of the textures and models. They did no steal textures and models from each other.[/QUOTE] And I used those libraries too, no harm done

-snip I should read-

[QUOTE=HASL;46199178]No, not that shit again. Valve, GSC Game World and ID software just used the same libraries of the textures and models.[/QUOTE] Yeah I remember seeing the same utility boxes and vent props in several different games, like L4D, CS, and Payday.
