Elevator should be fixed now

You can access second floor via this lift now

Looking good. Wish you all the best. / Смотрится классно. Желаю успехов!

Ohmygawd it's back! Can't wait to see it

When I use the elevator button it goes up. The doors don't open and close the way they should do, but that is only a cesmetic flaw. The elevator doesn't turn left. Tip: In the original game there were 2 seperate elevator doors. When I'm at the top the elevator doors do open (same cosmetic flaw), but I see the wall of the elevator shaft right above the entrance of the elevator on the ground floor. I cannot see the above entrance to jump to. When I try to look outside, I see a glimpse of the top entrance on the left, I hope that helps fixing the elevator. I'm curious how the top floor looks. :-)

Also I've start using chatGPT to explain me some things in Visual Designe, so probably I would figure out how to interact with 'cloth' objects, and would able to make Jeanette skirt follow physics rulles, but it's seems really hard at first sight


Anyway, if, for example, some of u are have skills with graphical designe software, like Blender, then we could work together and I would take all programming stuff + 50% of level designe and you can take modelling and graphical designe stuff, because, I should admit, that as a programmer in a first place, I've found pure graphicall task very hard to understand how to work with

As for the news -- I've found another developer at github, which is build a tool for automatically porting any related materials from source 1 engine to source 2, it's builded at python language and it even work at Windows OS, so now I can port the whole texture packs from VTMB to HLA automatically

Before that I was required to literally remake every single texture lol -- hack the source code, export *tga file, create .vmat file, parse old .vmt files, find appropriete shader and set hammer propierties (like if I import material for a wood floor I has to make it "wood" in a new engine, so when you step at wood floor -- you hear the step on a wood floor)

I don't know who is this guy, and why he even decided to make such a niche programm, but because of that I can now port the whole material packs, levels, and so on very-very quickly, basically in a few clicks

Can u describe it a bit? Is it problem with doors? With turning point? Something else?

So you said elevetor is working, it goes up, but u can't exit from it at upper level, right?

Wow! Ok, that's actually progress! I'm glad to hear that

So u said, that elevator at least go up, it's also should turn around to face exit to the second level

The problem is -- at some point, due "undefined behavior" elevator could randomly become a space centrifuge, which cause to launch the player into the space like he/she was launched from gigantic cannon lol

Which is an issue, cause when I've asked guys from office to test elevator -- some of them randomly hitting walls IRL

...which is why I'm now prohibited to test map on my regular office work in daytime

Tested the elevator. I am not going through the floor anymore, so that's fixed. I can go up and down. I cannot exit the elevator on the upper floor yet. I haven't tried the normal game if the game still crashes with the addon activated.

Sound issues is a clue, I did some hack to make music play, I will go deeper into it, thx!

Did a test with the normal game. When this addon is activated in the normal game, the game regularly crashes, looks like especially with sound issues. So turn this addon off when starting a new game.

When I switch on the elevator, I disappear through the floor of the elevator. I end up on the floor of the shaft. I cannot call the elevator down again. I cannot reach the second floor yet. I hope you will continue with this map. So far I like what you are trying to recreate.

If you still experiencing troubles with sound (music) try this:
https://github.com/VTMBVR/VampireTheMasquerade-VR/releases/download/v0.3.2/vtmb_sounds.rar

download this archive and unpack it into `Half-Life Alyx\game\hlvr_addons\vamprirethemasquerade`

it contains compiled game sounds

Added second floor, added therese/jeanette room, added elevator...

Elevator is kinda broken with rotations, so there are about 15-35% chance of it transforming into centrefuge, be carefull.

Also added basic Therese NPC at second floor (way through glitched elevator)

А ♥♥♥, ток увидел что русский язык)

How's the progress since january?

Unfortunately this add-on currently lets the game crash a lot when playing. When I disable only this add-on and start a new game, the game runs smoothly without crashes. I hope it can be fixed.

Awesomeee

I'm afraid the music still didn't work. I did note that the guy on the dance floor is gone now which was the only change I saw.

Cool...I'll try again when I have a chance and see if the music is working. Thanks for explaining all of the Hammer details.

@Skummeh

Thanks, rebuild it again, music should work now.

As for model collisions -- they are exists for dancer and jeanette model, but they are not persize, because of mismatch between original model mesh and collision mesh, which I get through decompilation of original model files

Collision works at least in 'no-vr' mode but there are hard to find them if try to collide with hand

@0x the music does not appear to be working. Here's a quick video for you: https://youtu.be/tr7IyZ6Rq1A

Check out Asylum map and tell me if u have background music working?

So, this is a thing I am Highly Interested in.

Needs jiggle physics. Heh.

Still working on a santa-monica apartments level

There are big amount of bug's and issues cause of difference between engines, and lacking documentation about everything :)

Also, I have noticed, that in that level santa-monica street behind windows of your room is not a skybox, but actually part of the whole level street, so it took a much bigger time to transport everything from santa-monica street level in general

But there are a plus -- it will be easier to transport other levels in future :)

Still need some help with HL:Alyx SDK, so if anyone want to help -- welcome!

Nothing I am personally interested in but sharing my feedback here: https://youtu.be/jsYdcOTJi5U

Ox, looks great! Hopefully one day we'll be able to play this game using Source 2. Again, nice work.

Thanks. I got this working now. Here is a quick recording of how they look from here:

Ok, try this one

I've changed addon info, to place there playable map, it should fix your problems

I cannot seem to be able to start this one either.

Thanks, I tried to run it with the add-on enabled but it wouldn't load up. I wonder if anyone else has had luck getting it to run?

It is with simple map, where you can actually SEE how Jeanett dancing in natural scales.

I wish for this 16 years ago, and now, thanskfully for modders from VTMB fan-club (and valve technical standards) I'm finnally able to see it in the way it should be seen - at VR!

For the rest part yes, I'm mostly focused on experiments for porting such things as materials, npc's, animations, sounds

Some of that is good as Jeannete - main quest NPC which look like 2004 was just yesterday

Some of that, is not good - as "face-fisted" monster from hollywood source. - cause of weird mech animation modeling

Cool. Doesn't seem like you can load this up the usual way by enabling addons. It is just the asset with no map (even a simple one) to view the asset?

this is an amazing idea!

Love this idea, putting this game in vr would be lit
