apparently my gordon model is on a news site, that's neat
#HalfLife

"However, there are fan-made efforts to recreate it as accurately as possible, like this one by Gordon Freakman, who used the leaked box art XSI file screenshot along with other promo materials to rebuild the model:"

#AHatInTime is apparently 8 years old today
how time flies, here's a small teaser of what i've been cooking up for hat-life 2's death wish mode

NPCs know how to use secondary attacks
Friendly fire.
Speedy Zombies.
You sure? This isn't even remotely fair.
Pistol charging (old 2004 bug) will be enabled.

recently got into #OneShot and all of the textbox creators i could get running didn't feel right, so i modified the console edition, and converted it into a simple textbox creator.

then i thought "hey it would be cool to allow you to create comments" and now its a bootleg scripting language

whoops

$Snippet of Tally Hall - Ruler of Everything's lyrics put into a textbox script. The syntax is modified from the in-game textbox handling.

Sorry for bringing this up again, but Half-Life 2: OVERCHARGED's developers created a rebuttal doc against the stolen asset documentation. It's about as bad as you expect.

"CSM is misspelled on one of the serialized
variable names. Gigaslav confirmed this is MikeDoubth job, he also confirmed that your anus is his favorite list"

Thank you all so much for watching #TimmyDay2025, we worked very hard. 💙💙💙

I'm still kinda processing, but I wrote something of a postmortem after the event. I hope it gets things across well enough? LOL

You can read that here

- you do not need the vehicles for any of hl2's vehicle sections, however for some parts of water hazard its way harder, i'll add a proper route for that in the future

- i got half-life: source and portal 1 working, and i plan on getting source sdk mp support fully fleshed out (its working, but still has major issues) portal 2 is impossible due to no source code being available for it.
- there's also going to be a few extra things in the final release of the mod

@jakiekun.bsky.social few things
- i do not have a phone activated twitch account, so couldn't chat, sorry about that!
- some maps have less clip brushes, mainly in ravenholm, i'll likely remove more as the mod develops
