HL1 Uplink is what really did it for me. They crammed so much excitement into that one small little demo that just had me salivating for the full game. HL2, without the sexy teaser of a completely stand-alone demo, whilst fun, didn't feel the same. It was a great game, don't get me wrong, but I...

Or in your HL2/config folder, open the valve.rc file, and comment out the "startupmenu" line ie, Before: // display the startup level startupmenu After: // display the startup level //startupmenu As an extra bonus, if you want to kill the Valve intro movie, find where the Valve.avi...

Sounds like your settings might be too high. Do you know how to add "-autoconfig" to the HL2 shortcut or Steam "Play games" entry?

If offline mode is enabled beforehand, yes. If you install it onto the system straight, no.

I'd be happy with a Strider only release of v0.3. Makes lots of people happy, whilst you get to work on adding in the extras without as many people demanding the next version ;) All vs Strider battles sound downright awesome.

Have you gone through the other pictures MaxiKana, and not just that single one?

Not an aquarium. A great big water pumping facility for getting rid of water overflowing from their rivers. http://www.g-cans.jp/photo/14.html Looks fake, but check the rest of the gallery. My apologies for going back on topic :upstare:

Does impulse 76 work in HL:S? I remember having a bit of fun with that cheat in the original. Until it crashed for the third time, then I gave up using it :P

A lawsuit for this? Why do I get the image of the sort of people who happily sue strangers who "Look at their dog funny and cause untold mental anguish to said pet" and other literally idiotic court cases... "Your honor, I wish to sue ATI because they didn't state that their product would...

Yes, I expect so. All you'd need to do is register/login with your own account.

It looks gorgeous. The dynamic backgrounds alone make me want to hump your mod ;) It doesn't look like you need any luck with it. You only need to work harder to get it to masses faster :P

Even the mods which say "Install into your HL2 directory" can be installed to the Sourcemods folder, and accessed via the Third Party menu subsection, as I found out with the Friendly Fire mod. I have to say, it's a very nice way of accessing mods. Though it'd be nice if the old HL networking...

Saving FPS? When the effect is used so rarely that it's not funny? The absolute insignificance of the hit those scenes I mentioned would've taken on the game make it seem more like a pleasant effect (Faking of HDR) instead of a 1 FPS improvement trick.

Have a look at these: http://meqon.com/downloadarea/downloadarea.php The 1.4 physics engine demo has a scene for liquid dynamics. It's really quite nice. I'd like to see something like that in games, or at the very least, something akin to the water in Morrowind when you have shaders enabled...

Have you tried returning the CDs? A number of people have gotten similar problems involving disk corruption, and a decent games store should accept returns. Maybe even a replacement if you really want it. Though if you have friends who have HL2 installed on their systems, and someone has...
