Heh heh, still no release, I am honestly not surprised, they have been working only on the “coding” for years now…

I spotted this little gem at Moddb which I haven’t seen here at PP:
“Revamped Healing System
To help convey that the player is an everyday rebel, and not the indestructable and unstoppable Gordon Freeman, we’ve implemented a revamped healing system that we believe will add extra challenge and planning to gameplay, as well as give a use for those pesky spare medical supplies.

The system works by allowing players to carry up to 3 spare medkits. At any time, the player can use a medkit by pressing the heal button they have assigned to the keyboard. When this is done, a short but unskipable healing animation plays from the first person perspective. This healing animation could involve anything from bandaging a wound to pulling a bullet out of your body, depending on the damage you’ve taken since you last healed. Over the course of this relatively short animation, the player gradually heals up to 30 HP. Let us know how you feel about this system, either by comment or by email.”
Sounds great, if a little gory!

I agree, I really don’t care for it myself.

I spoke louder than anybody, the software recorded me much lower though.

Just listened to the inteview, nice stuff mate. Very interesting to hear about the technical improvements and I already love it.
But Phillip, next time you need to speak louder, compared to your guests you were quite silent, couldn’t hear much.

And don’t forget to try Warsow!

Might be your system, becuase it should be very smooth. Please try downloading it and viewing it that way.

Perhaps It’s just not intuitive to me.
It seems a bit slow the respond, doing nothing one moment and than flying around. Probably takes some getting used to.

What part of navigating the panoramic is giving you trouble?

By: Berrie

Berrie — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:29:04 +0000

Nice update.

I find the Panoramic a bit hard to navigate, but this and the recent moddb post has got me excited about this mod again.

Still have to finish the listening to the interview, though.

Action Panoramic added.

this all looks awesome… but I have one major concern… and that is I hope they don’t use that “Devil’s Mutton Chops” song for anything other than credits.

I am a fervent metal head, but that song is just obnoxious… I had hoped musically they would stay with the Half – Life theme.

Three music tracks added. Give them a listen!

Maxsi Distribution will support Win7 in the next release. Possibly related to me switching to Win7 Ultimate x64. So that’s 64-bit support too!

Great interview Phillip, as always. Nice shots too, looking forward to the release of City17. And I have to say I have used older version of Maxsi’s distribution whit the Altered Transmission mod. Works really good, although I had some issues when I switched to Win7.

No, that’s why the page is called Pre-Release.

To me, this is definitely *the* mod to keep an eye on. Let’s hope the gameplay is up to the same quality as the graphics. Love the volumetric lighting effects!

Bah! I haven’t finished the cluster of mods I’m still currently in the middle of. I’m never going to finish before Christmas at this rate.

Thanks Phil. Yeah there was a French Mod called that, also another mod Called City 17, but to differentiate them, the mod has the EP1 title to it, which makes sense anyways sense were going with three episodes to continue right with Half Life 2.

i’m surpriced to hear that you have changed so many maps so much, and that when i had clearly the idea that i was already then playing finished mod instead of a beta one.
so i will play for sure the new version, am very interested to see what you have improved all.
success,

leon

I have been keeping an eye on this one for. Looking forward to the release.

MrTwoVideoCards — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:12:50 +0000

Thats kinda odd how you guys played it already…..lol, but thats fine! I do remember Cubedude, and also Leon, but not Bkadar. However, though From what you guys said, the mod has went through a complete overhaul, so all the levels you guys went through, are now gone. They were simply like layouts, for what these maps have become, so they’ve been improved vastly, and still are being improved until release! It’s a long process, yes, but it makes the gameplay, much more of an higher quality.
