Valid advice

if you want to play the episodes turn off this mod before playing

@Sungazer Okay! Thanks for responding!

> Hey, your mod causes conflict in starting Half-Life 2: Episode 1. Instead of starting Episode 1, it just starts Half-Life 2. I had to disable your mod just to make it work.

True, but I was not able to fix it. Replacement version does not have this issue however it still overrides some textures making them look wrong with ep1\2 shaders. So I'd still suggest to disable my mods to play them.

> Highway 17 chapter where I wasn't able to progress because the forcefield didn't shut down

Yes, it is a known Dynamic Fire Glow bug. Unfortunately it breaks a lot of things, I fixed some of them on the map side, but eventually gave up.

Also, about the problem that I had few months ago regarding Highway 17 chapter where I wasn't able to progress because the forcefield didn't shut down, even after pushing the Combine APC off the cliff, I found out later on that the Dynamic Fire Glow addon was causing the issue and it wasn't your addon. That addon does break certain sequences in the game and people have pointed it out. So yeah my issue was solved there.

> found a bug in d1_trainstation_05 where the kleiner starts the teleporter thing and the blue light doesnt go away after alyx teleports.

That is strange. I added some changes, turning blue light on second time when Gordon starts to teleport to compensate for how dark the room gets with hdr and screen effects, but right after Alyx teleports it should go out, so, I cant confirm it the way you put it.

this is completely unrelated to what the mod does but that lambda cake looks delicious, i would eat that... and eat it again

Can I send a link of my modpack so you can help me find out the issue

@justdeltaxd > mod caused missing textures i think, im gonna disable it and see if it worked
Oh well, try reloading materials, restarting the map, etc, resubbing to something, usually a mod conflict

mod caused missing textures i think, im gonna disable it and see if it worked

@justdeltaxd you can sub but disable the mod in the game menu

lmao

yeah i was planning to unsub to this one (no offense), it was gonna be one of the major mods in the modpack im making

@justdeltaxd But please don't unsub from the winter mod after manual installation, we don't want to make the creator of winter mod sad right, I liked it

@justdeltaxd the simplest way would probably be to download the textures mod, find its archive on your disk, unpack it and place in "custom" folder. Textures from custom would override all workshop mods. It's the general idea. The exact step-by step instructions should be easy to google, or to LLMogle

how do i do that? im not experienced with manual installation

@justdeltaxd
And if it turns out not to be compatible, you can use manual install and replace my materials

@justdeltaxd
> is this compatible with this?

As I see, it does not alter maps, so it can be compatible in theory, but 1) I also alter some materials and there might be conflicts 2) some world textures may be stretched when using custom materials

The best way to find out is to try it out

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3565060718 is this compatible with this?

@Skeletondudeofficial
> didnt you said that would be difficult for you to work on ep1 cuz its hard to look at?

Honestly I don't remember what exactly I said what I meant by that, but those thesis are not necessarily connected.

Looks are a spectrum. If it looks really good, it's difficult to find things to improve if it looks really bad, it's difficult to fix all the issues and somewhere in between there is a local minimum of difficulty. At different points in time I suggested ep1 could fall on either sides, but now that I took a closer look, I think it's manageable.

Actual and pre-update versions, aren't actually so bad and not too far apart. But there are definitely some lighting bugs worth fixing.

didnt you said that would be difficult for you to work on ep1 cuz its hard to look at?

@ChadScript
> Would you be able to do something similar to the Afternoon Sandtraps mod that recently got uploaded?

In theory I could, but I wouldn't.
1) I wouldn't want to change the feel of the game, it's very nostalgic to me. So I mostly focus on updating the technical execution.
2) The time that I have for modding I would spend on ep1 ep2

Would you be able to do something similar to the Afternoon Sandtraps mod that recently got uploaded?

ay nice update!

@Skeletondudeofficial Wow, that sounds disgusting, but I don't judge. You could use a manual install and pick the maps you want

before you say anything, yes theres an addon for that it exists but it doesnt overwrite it sadly so yeah

@adidores1054 update description updated

What changes do you put in today's update?

very odd, thanks

Can't confirm. https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/11643205626507666909/635E88D0C7D60DE8EE17CF8CD8775791A6E119CD/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

@Pepsimaxguy
> Is there any way you could make it compatible with the 4x ai upscale texure mod?
Asset mods should have higher priority in the load order. Or are there any issues still present with such a setup ?

Any way you could make it compatible with the 4x ai upscale textures mod?

in my opinion it looks better in your picture @Sungazer

weird.

@Skeletondudeofficial If you're curious, with vertex lighting it looks like this and I have no idea, why lighting voxels are calculated this way https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/14996233416495055880/E4A8A61C9BF9D8845E217F1439D27FBED6452EB9/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

oof atleast you tried

@Skeletondudeofficial it looks the same as the original. Though I tried, I was not able to fix everything

@Sungazer the lighting mismtach on the concrete not the npc sorry for the confusion lol

@Skeletondudeofficial
What exactly? The lighting mismatch pm the concrete, the npc standing there or the way npc is lit ?

is this a bug?

@DrXtale
> I'm partially confused by the three different versions, what are the differences?

1) "Renamed" - maps are starting with prefix "r". Maps are loaded from chapter selection.

Pros:
- Does not conflict with other map mods or official lump updates.
Cons:
- Saved don't have pretty chapter names in them.
- Some map-related hardcode may be off. The one known example is that the guy in the lighthous meating you after gunship says nothing.
- Overrides chapter selection in the episodes

2) "Campaign" - same as renamed, but is launched from the workshop campaign selection, instead of main chapter selection

3) "Replacement" - map names are the same as the original
Pros:
- the most seamless integration with everything
Cons:
- Might get broken by other mods, or by official map updates and will require patching
- Is not yet updated

@Pepsimaxguy
> This mod looks great
Thank you!
> Have you ever considered using water reflections
I tried using water reflections for floors, didn't work out. Maybe I did it wrong ?
> or parallax corrected cube maps on wet floors
As far as I know, this is not supported on the engine level. Maybe eventually, I will find time to make a mod with altered engine, there are a couple of things I'd like to change. But I believe I wont be able to post it on the workshop.

@adidores1054
> Apparently this bug is caused by spawning citizens in the map

You mean, spawning them how ? Manually ? Interesting.

I'm partially confused by the three different versions, what are the differences?

This mod looks great
Have you ever considered using water reflections or parallax corrected cube maps on wet floors like in point insertion?

Apparently this bug is caused by spawning citizens in the map
