[Announcement] Half-Life: Restored - Known bugs - Future Updates etc...
Hey folks,
I saw some complaints and bugs... There's few things i'd like to point out about the mod.
[h2]Shadows[/h2]
It seems most of the people aren't introduced original Half-Life shadows. If you played first release of Half-Life, it shipped with Shadows. Yup, the Shadows in Half-Life: Restored using the original shadows of Half-Life. Valve made these "shadows" but they made it really poorly. They either didn't have time finish it or they simply didn't care to fix them. Later they disabled shadows instead of fixing it. And all i did was reactive it. And it's impossible for me to fix it since you need engine access and only Valve has access to it. So yeah, if you don't like the Shadows simply turn them off. You can turn them off by typing cl_shadows 0 to the console or Options>Advanced>Shadows "Disabled" (This will be available in next update)
[h2]Achievements[/h2]
Yes, i did promised Achievements, and it'll be available in some time period (hopefully!). But i cannot do this by myself. I'm the only developer of this mod and i cannot achieve everything perfectly or completely. So i'm looking a programmer for this task. If you're experienced Half-Life programmer and if you'd like to help me to achieve this, please add me up on Steam.
[h2]Bugs[/h2]
I've been hearing about some zoomed menu problems and i believe this is a Windows problem than the mod itself. The fix for this issue is:
[h3]Fix A:[/h3]
-w xx -h xx -gl (Fill xx with your own resolution for example, i have 1920x1080 resolution so i type, -w 1920 -h 1080 -gl)
[h3]Fix B[/h3] (if Fix A doesn't work):
[h3]The game doesn't launch[/h3]
You either don't own Half-Life on Steam or some files corrupted while downloading. Try to reinstall it.
[h2]Future Updates[/h2]
Here's the (so far) changelog of future update: ( I will ship this update soon! )
Added "Enable or Disable Shadows" option in Advanced tab
Einstein jaw is fixed
Crowbar double-swing issue is fixed
Retouched Scientist textures
Tram Lights are now added
Fix Tram stuck spots
Added option to enable remastered models
Fixed rapid corpse bug
Fixed sometimes player doesn't lose weapons in ambush scene
Fixed MP5 animations
[h2]Planned Future Updates[/h2]
- Restore Snark's Blink Behaviour
- Add software mode water to OpenGL (Need help for this!)
- Add Achievements (Need help for this!)
- Add reload behaviour for Barney
- Restore Hound Eye Guard behaviour
- Add "Disable Texture Filtering" option in Video settings (if possible)
- Fix Hassault and add more
- Look at Scientists death sounds
- Check Crossbow reload sound
- Re-touch textures
- Speed up Tripmine animation a bit
