If it's too complicated then it is. just a suggestion/idea. And perhaps on the modwalls I notice there are many that are for just HL 1&2 and some that are HL 1&2 ep 1,2 or 3.. Is there any way to mark them?
I need to get those newer HL's but haven't yet. Soon though.

What do yall think? Can it be done... This will land on Phillip.. if it's too much then it's still all good..

Dang.. if I'd joined this when I first discovered mods I'd be a master God of Mods like ole Phillip there..lol]]>

I've found two, both by the same author and would like to know which one you prefer:
http://activeden.net/item/xml-resizeable...lery/14482
or
http://activeden.net/item/xml-resizeable...lery/19966

The main difference is that the second one only uses thumbnails to navigate. I like the text links and thumbnails of the first one.

The trouble I see with both, is that with each month only having about 12 screenshots all the menus will look empty. I could just combine them into one "Year in View" page. What do you think?

If you have suggestions for scripts, don't forget I need them the images to also be URLs, so I can link to the post.

I have found a few nice galleries but they are not linkable.

Also, I want it to go full screen, so everybody can see the images at their best.]]>

Several years ago, a mod was released by the name Nightmare House. It was memorable for its surprise scares and multiple pop-ups.

Then, it was remade, this time with odd girl running around the house. Many wondered what was going this time around. Answers were scarce.

Now they will be answered.

Notice: this game is not for the faint of heart.


Also, I'm not particularly sure if this fulfills phillips qualifications, for it does contain HL2 zombies and weapons, but the rest of the mod contains custom-skinned zombies.

Regardless, I highly recommend you try this mod.

Even if you scare easily.]]>

The thing is that my computer, although about 4 years old, has higher spec's than most new computers.
In fact you need to go right to the top end of computers to find anything equal to it or better. It was close to the top of the range at the time (except for the graphics card).
So I'm keeping it.

But I need a new graphics card. The best bet seems to be the new one from NVVIDIA, GeForce GTX 460. Link for those interested:

My worry is compatibility with the motherboard and power supply.
My DOS is VISTA 32 bit
Does anyone know how to find out what motherboard and power supply I've got?

2) If one wants to listen to music while playing, is it possible, or does it futz with the game?]]>

Just found this mod and installed it. but then I couldn't launch anycampaign. So I thought this is due to the recent HL updates, is this true?

And more important, is there a fix? Or a way to play the mod? ;(

I'd like to be able to have one set of key bindings across all games. It's a major pain to have to set them when I start a new game or mod. I remember seeing some instructions on how to do that, but I can't find them; and SourceSauce, as amazing a program that is, is failing me on this part.

So, anyone have any suggestions?

This is different and very hard. So far I have killed just one Combine out of 3! Dead now.
I think I'll go back to it with notarget to get the hang of the map.

Quoting the author Madcow
"For those of you who haven't read my journal the name might be slightly missleading. This hasn't got much to do with Crysis, it's more of an attempt to make the combine soldier act more like the nano-suited enemies which you fought at some points in Crysis, and also improve their tactics only by using entities. There is no coding involved at all.

The map is similar to a game of deathmatch. You are inside a small area in which you battle three enemies who will use their best tactics to take you down. I suggest trying this on different skill settings which can be changed in the game options.

You will start off with only a crowbar and a pistol. There are two more weapons availble in the map, but they are hidden. Find them or you will most likely end up dead.

The soldiers have an armor-system which allows them to take serious amouts of damage before they die, but keep in mind that for each hit they take their armor energy is drained a bit, but it regenerates slowly. A fully drained armor can be fully regenerated in about 1.5 minues.

The soldiers will also cloak and hide around the map, and will support their injured squadmates using a heat-system which tells the other soldiers how much fire the other squadmates are taking, and when it reaches a certain limit they come to his aid.

If you want a real challenge, try beating this on HARD (change manually in game options)
I can safely say that this is possible for I myself have done it, and so have some of the beta testers."]]>

This is a singleplayer mod for Portal.

Rules I followed when mapping:

* A puzzle should never be hard to solve, only hard to figure out how to solve.
* Follow the style of portal, round objects are objects of interest, square ones are part of the environment.
* Should always be clear of what to do, point to the right direction.
* All maps should be friendly to beginners that dont, for example know how to jump and crouch.
* If a better idea comes to mind during the creation of something, do it, instead of being lazy. This to bring the best from me.
