Half-Life and Portal series, general discussion (v6) - Games

At the moment, in order to look around the demo, I'm setting timescale to 0.1 and noclip speed to 10; is there a better way to do things?

[QUOTE=halfer;49793534]At the moment, in order to look around the demo, I'm setting timescale to 0.1 and noclip speed to 10; is there a better way to do things?[/QUOTE] is the view distance bothering you? if so, try setting r_farz to -1

[QUOTE=Marcolade;49792935]I think they've forgotten DoD even exists at this point.[/QUOTE] I think it's more that nobody would buy a nazi armband skin for $10000

What was the update about? Did they remove more things?

[QUOTE=Aphtonites;49793553]I think it's more that nobody would buy a nazi armband skin for $10000[/QUOTE] Eh... you'd be surprised what folks on the internet are willing to pay for.

[QUOTE=PLASTICA-MAN;49793698]What was the update about? Did they remove more things?[/QUOTE] Apparently a lot of the datamined info is gone

For some reason, when you die (I.E fall really far) Portal 1's Chell ragdoll spawns. [t]http://puu.sh/nhK2B/3753c9d361.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/nhKEs/3821aa41de.jpg[/t] Just a weird thing I thought I'd post about :pudge:

[QUOTE=Jelman;49793733]Apparently a lot of the datamined info is gone[/QUOTE] I was expecting that tbh. That is why I was asking for a confirmation. It is just Volvo again who just keeps persuading us to lose hope for HL3.

[QUOTE=Marcolade;49792935]I think they've forgotten DoD even exists at this point.[/QUOTE] All they need to do for DoD2 is add an Asiimov Thompson skin, and a couple knives, as well as custom playermodels, and they're all set

[QUOTE=Jelman;49793733]Apparently a lot of the datamined info is gone[/QUOTE] Nothing changed in the update regarding most of the content we datamined. That was removed a few months back. The update was likely only bugfixes as it was [b]very[/b] small.

so now that the d0g model turned out to not be a fake, doesn't that mean that marc laidlaw was actually lying? :v:

[QUOTE=Trixil;49793993]so now that the d0g model turned out to not be a fake, doesn't that mean that marc laidlaw was actually lying? :v:[/QUOTE] No, he just didn't know about it.

He is just a writer and him not knowing isn't unreasonable, but that also doesn't preclude him from lying to keep things hidden. Either way, its real.

This just makes me wonder how much information that's been quickly shut down by a Laidlaw email may actually be true now.

Uncle Gubsy?

[QUOTE=PelPix123;49794128]i guess since this is public knowledge i can post some gameplay[/QUOTE] I guess VNN got them the same way/from you, then? Cool stuff. Nice to see Valve loosening up regarding that kind of stuff. EDIT: yes, that was probably optimistic

[QUOTE=Jelman;49793733]Apparently a lot of the datamined info is gone[/QUOTE]they are removing any little traces of its existence to ensure hl3 will never be a thing they want us to forget it exists, but that's not possible

So guys. This look like a real reflection. (Notice reflection on the floor) [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/313368332402248152/D54AFA4DE857262A14DDE87784EF9B8263E0E6C1/[/t] But it's not a reflection. (Notice reflection on the table) [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/313368332402248003/10EB09D98B0506D4DBB25D2044468B329D9A6949/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/313368332402247718/572CA00C5BDDBDD372FE0C89C1654F6BED8EDA9E/[/t] Maybe they using parallax corrected cubemaps, or something similar.

[QUOTE=DevinWatson;49791832]So one of the QR codes links to a site that's hosting malware, GG Volvo.[/QUOTE] Can you PM me which one it is? I opened two and I don't want to be malware infected. Currently scanning.

Imagine, Valve is out on GDC or something, and they end up showing Source 2 in first person, they even show off some combat just like the old HL2 E3 presentation, and in the end they fade in text saying "Half-life 3:" and after a little while "Deathmatch" fades in below it

This is awesome! I like the old textures and portals, they look a lot nicer!

Cakes;49794863]So basically when it's released, it's going to be fixed up so that that there aren't missing textures/bugs and you'll be able to switch between the Alpha and the Beta versions of the game I'm guessing?[/QUOTE] Aww, but the missing textures and bugs are PART of the beta experience!

That old Gravity Gun portal model has been something I've always wanted. I don't know what's up with it, but it just looks really good.

[QUOTE=PelPix123;49794983]there are actually no missing textures anywhere. They were very careful.[/QUOTE] Something about the lighting and textures look more detailed than the final product here and there too, but that might just be me not having played the original in a long while.

Or would this 'version' of the engine potentially be incompatible enough to prevent that?

Shame, the VR demo isn't working for me. Might be my lack of AVX support CPU-side. Also, those reflections are indeed parallax corrected cube maps, according to the GDC presentation.

[QUOTE=RikohZX;49795114]So how long until someone does what they did for porting HL2 into Portal 1? Or would this 'version' of the engine potentially be incompatible enough to prevent that?[/QUOTE] It would probably take awhile, since you would need to fix a lot of the models up from decompiles (assuming those Source 1 to Source 2 converters aren't already available.) Plus, I personally have no clue how the scripts work in Source 2.
