If you’re on map namb4, you’re about a quarter of the way through. You should have Barney along. Lead him to the truck and he’ll drive it.

There was a walkthrough (no longer online) I can upload somewhere if you want.

I do not think I am at the end but it would be the first time I asked how to proceed, I am stuck. I tried it hl no steam and with steam, I can not proceed.
I have just shot down a black helecoptor; it is right after the first set of rice fields,/ you go through a hall then down a ladder/ through a tunnel up a ladder/ you are in a straw hut and you see the big gun/ shoot down the chopper. then nothing I nocliped around even

a funny thing happened on my way through the jungle.
i started from scratch. got to the first base. then i noticed a stock save. i loaded it right at the boat. barney is in das boot and we went a sailing. a nice way to complete the mod with out haveing to do it all over. so, if ya got napalm then play till the boat glitch then load hart of evil old. then the game continues.
i think i would rate it as play it now/maybe cause of the glitch. am loving it so far.

i could not find hart of evil via half life 1 mods. here is a link to download the first one, it is “glitch free”. the graphics are very low quality kinda blue shift without the enhancement pac. as a teaser but not a spoiler. i got to ride in a worrlie floptor and listen to the ride of the Valkyries.
oh you cant have both installed. so mr. freeman its time to choose…. sure wish a patch for napon was available. hate to start all over again. oh hum….

Looking around, it seems that the Barney at the boat house is a glitch. I also had to use no clip to get through the barricade to get to the next map. I saw a posting that the authors are planning a patch and the stuck Barney is one of the fixes.

Others have posted they finished the game. how did you get past this glitch? I even tried pushing Barney with out using the “e” button, all I could do was get him to turn. I know of no cheat to spawn him in the boat dock if that would even help.

I hope someone will post a reply as I have really in enjoyed this mod up to now.

In the main post, near the top, there is a section called “PlanetPhillip Download Servers”,with three thumbnails. These link to the file.

The secondary fire for the shotgun isn’t at all explained in-game, so I’m not surprised you’re having trouble.

In order to load the shotgun with the buckshot shells, you need to have some free space in your shotgun. Since a full shotgun has 7 shells loaded, get down to about 4. Once there, press the secondary fire (the right mouse button) to load the buckshot shells ON TOP of the normal ones. Now, when you fire the shotgun, you’ll fire the buckshot shells until you run out, at which point you’ll go back to the nromal shells.

Hope that helps.

i am progressing very well in this super great mod. but, i am having no luck in loading the elephant shot gun rounds. i try alt fire for the shot gun and reload only loads the standard rounds. anyone have any ideas? i was thinking of shooting all my basic rounds and then useing the elephants if it would let me. but, before i did that i figure its just a key i didnt bind to standard wasd. thanks

Oh! bugger!!!

I am out of the plane now – what is it about PP that provides answers to problems without anybody saying anything!
It is a wonderful site.

Oops! Spoke too soon – see my posts above – I can move about in the plane now, but I can’t get out of it.
Barney is just standing in the cockpit and won’t respond to me, whilst outside zombies are shot and don’t die and then they kill the soldiers.
And I can’t repeat my “jumping” trick to reload the chapter from the start ————

Suggestions anyone?

Having played through the whole thing, I encountered a few bugs and several flaws, which I mentioned at the HIT forums. I’m going to copy-paste the list rather then type it all again.

Good Points

- Models. The best part of Napalm. They’re all awesome.
- Unkillable zombies. Took a while to get used to it, but once I did it made perfect sense and worked brilliantly. Must have been hard to code.
- Redone levels. Haven’t played through them all, but the ones I have played through were excellent.
- The Alamo. Surprisingly strong add-on.
- The UFO replacement. The temple, as well as being very well made, also makes much more sense.

Bad Points

- The new voices. Barney’s a little too silly now, and it was hard to understand your two superiors at the beginning.
- Letters. There’s some engrish in the redone ones which breaks the flow.
- Chapter titles. While well done, they’re utterly inappropriate.
- Chopper/Truck rides. They may not have been entirely in keeping with the rest of the mod, but I’ll be damned if I don’t miss that opening chopper ride with the Wagner blaring out.
- The controls. Most people these days use a WASD configuration – it took me 10 minutes to remap all the buttons from the completely different set-up the mod came with by default. Not the most major of criticisms I know, but it’s a pain all the same.
- Letter Storage. Several times I’ve been given several diary entries or multiple part letters in a single location. Which would be fine if the game gave me enough time to read them (it doesn’t) or it let me re-read them at my leisure at a later date (it should, but due to a glitch, every entry from the chapter you’re in displays the text from the last read letter). Being able to store the letters is a nice idea, but it’s flawed in practice.
- The End. Or rather, what ending? A huge chunk’s been cut from the original – no HL2 section, no zombie Barney, nothing. The game doesn’t end, it just sort of… stops. Hardly a satisfying conclusion to the story.

Overall, it’s a good enough mod, but I can’t help feeling that it would have been better if they’d just released the models separately rather then redoing the whole mod.

Belay that!! I have sorted it –
My comment above about the old lift bug made me think.
I used to get round that bug by repeatedly hitting the space bar to make my character jump, so I tried that – and it worked!

Cheers Phil

Excellent stuff!

I have reached the fourth chapter (power station) and have a little problem though.

The opening scene is that the plane has just landed, but I find that I am stuck in the plane, no movement at all, a bit like the old lift bug.
Tried noclip, but that didn’t work!

Any suggestions?

Phil

so that Barney dude has to be locked up too (i.e.: inside that prison with the oatmeat?)

Yes, the only reason to play games more than a few years old is nostalgia. That this is a TC makes that statement even more ridiculous.

Thanks for pointing that out Jasper, I did a lot of Carp fishing in England. A lot of recent HL1 releases have come from eastern European countries and I would expect these authors to eventually move on to HL2.

nevermind… A stupid headcrap body blocked the door all the time… ^^

Except for some minor bugs with the documents in inventory what doesn’t work for me.

It’s a great remake.

I can’t open the doors which leads to the plane any clues ??

I have the fuel used the car with it’s 4 tyres killed the general called in for help by that traitor sergeant and still I can’t open the doors which lead to the airstrip. Do I need a key for them or what’s going on. I checked on youtube loaded a video showing the original mod

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtNbO1Sx-dU&feature=PlayList&p=A2F010E7B428ACC0&index=10

and there you don’t need any keys etc.

Hi, Naked-Headcrab, thanks, you are correct; it is good for me. It is also good for those who do not agree with me that PP does what he does for you. I hope you keep playing and enjoying.
Mel, your spelling!!!! Tut tut. I wrote carp (a big stinking rotting pile of them) not crap. That would be just rude and we would prefer dog #$%&.!
Anyway, if all those gifted people who make HL mods moved to HL2, preferably EP2, I, and I suspect others, would be in heaven.

I am not sure if I will play through this version, I well remember the original and how the author first released in parts so building up the suspense and expectations. That aspect of the game won’t be there for me; however I am still a lover of HL1 and as such always living in hope that someone in the future will come-up with a release that matches the best of the custom releases. As for having a crap UK government your alternative is dog #$%&.
