Half-Life 2: Co-op

I'm working on a mod called Half-Life 2: Co-op. It will probably fail soon for some reason, but oh well Razz

.

I released a very early version a while ago, and played Michaelz at it. So here's a changelog since that version which was straight off the Source SDK:

Pre-alpha 2 (unreleased)

Added scoreboard showings all the players with their frags, deaths and latency
Added team menu and teams (although there are currently no differences between the teams)
Added console variable sv_deathmatch which decides if friendly fire is on (nearly working)
Added voice chat capabilities
Added chat feature
Fixed disappearing HUD after death
Fixed random black squares appearing at the top left of the screen.

Pre-alpha 1

Added entity sdk_headcrab, which can be used in maps and can be spawned with the console command "npc_create sdk_headcrab". Although, the headcrab doesn't harm players yet
Added option to import and spray tag
Fixed multiplayer menu (although half of the options in it are obslete - such as crosshair size and colour)
Made players right handed by default, although this can be changed with the console variable cl_righthanded.
Fixed bug where guns would only have one bullet in un-used clip
Fixed bug where player's view would be tipped if they got out of the jeep while it was slanted
Fixed bug where mounted gun on the jeep would fly off the buggy when player exits
Fixed physics tracing bug
Weapon names now display correctly

And I'm working on a couple of official maps, getting the AI working properly and getting the scoreboard and stuff like that working.

I'll post screenshots and the current version soon.

Lol. Sven Coop will be coming out soon for Source, and that will have real models, maps and stuff, and that will be the one everyone's playing. I'm just making this to learn Smile

i played it with james and micheal it was really fun but really wierd u could jump and have sky battles and spawn huge towers of head crabs with u on top Exclamation

That was because Michael was messing about with the gravity - it's not a bug in the mod Wink

the mods needs more idea etc. like missions and have friendly fire off as it is suppose to be a 'CO-OP MOD' not a deathmatch one and have enemies without u spawning them yourself.

Yeh but it was soo fun chucking grenades and blasting a line of headcrabs off and seeing them fly in the air Smile

It's probably going to be team-play because people are writing tutorials for that.

By the way - latest news is that I just got the chat feature working Very Happy

nice and u should have the name of the person on top of the guy so that we know whos who otherwise it'll be confusing. Also can u change the colour of the crosshair to somethin brighter like yellow or somethin similar because that light blue can be quite hard to see.

OK I'll try to get the name thing, and I'll also try to use a different image for the crosshair.

yeah you shud turn ff off bu the thing is you cant have non spawn enemies coz after u defeat non spawned enemies there are non left so u cant do anyything else after youve killed them, as it is non continous so you cant progress to the next stage. Wink

I'm making progress with the friendly fire thing. I added in a console variable "sv_deathmatch". Once I get it to work, setting sv_deatchmatch to 1 will allow friendly fire and stuff like that, but 0 will make it co-op mode.

I also have voice chat working, and nearly have a working scoreboard.
