Release Xash3D - Half Life: Uplink

ptitSeb · May 20, 2015

Here is Half Life: Uplink, using Xash3D engine.

HalfLife: Uplink is the demo for Halflife. Unlike traditional demo, this one feature Levels not found in the full game (like for the JK2 demo). So getting it is advised even if you have the full version!

The demo data are already packed, the PND is ready2play.

Pretty cool ! thanks for taking care of that as well

elwing · May 21, 2015

Thanks, that's great.

just as a side note, for people with a "game of the year" or whatever package with uplink, if you want to avoid having a secondary game in your pandora menu and if you do not want to customize controls again, you can just copy the uplink folder near the valve folder and start uplink trough the "custom game" menu in game.

ptitSeb · May 22, 2015

Like for the full version, left nub is usable to move now.

Build 06
-----------

Left nub to move now (you may need to enable joystick in valva/config.cfg)

Hi,

@ ptitSeb: thanks for packaging Half-Life Uplink

I just noticed left nub enabled for movements doesn't work well with ladders: you have to revert to the d-pad in order to go up or down.

The game also segfaults quite often, and marines sometimes "blink", but I think this has already been reported in the other thread.

Cheers, Magic Sam

Joystick doesn't work for ladders? I have to test, it's strange, the command are the same (between joystick and keyboard), and joystick code was already there. I have to investigate.

For the segfault, I need a a way to reproduce to be abble to fix it. Any save / easy way to reproduce the segfault.

Marines that blink, I guess it is the 'cl_lc "0"' command (that is needed for XashXT to run). cl_lc is "Lag Compensation" and it must be disabled for now.

Magic Sam · May 23, 2015

Hi,

About reproducing the segfault, you could try this: play a bit, die, press (X) to load a quick saved game, then...

./runscript.sh: line 120: 9311 Segmentation fault ./xash3d -dev 1 $noshouldermb $*

I hope it helps

I tried to hack a fix.

Not sure it's good enough, but it seems to work. It may have some side effect (but I haven't spotted any).

I haven't published on repo yet, but if you can try and confir m (or not) it's ok.

PND is here.

Magic Sam · May 24, 2015

Hi,

I'll try your new PND out ASAP

Do I have to delete the existing appdata/hl_uplink directory ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

It is not needed.

Just tested playing with your test pnd...and at first seems to work good (i have died almost 10 times) on first run.

Later i rerun the PND of Uplink and loaded fine the last savegame...played a bit and i have died (again) now trying to load again the savegame it exited to desktop...with the gamma settings not restored...to restore the gamma i run again the pnd and choise exit.

The savegame is corrupted?

(I must I forgot to reset gamma at the exit of the program, I'll fix that)

ptitSeb · Jun 8, 2015

@Farox: the version is more stable or not. I didn't understood if the savegame is corrupt (bad) or if still exist a case where a quickload crash (not perfect, but I guess PND is publishable then)?

Farox · Jun 8, 2015

Sorry Seb i can't test now...i'm prepare going to work.

Maybe the savegame was corrupted...i'm not so sure about it...but this version (if you fix the gamma restored at exit) is a bit better than before.

I will try late night, or tomorrow.

Farox · Jun 9, 2015

Ok sorry for the late testing...but free time is really low.

Now back to the game.

I rerun the game and now at first die (the game have run for about 10 min before i die) its segfault returning to desktop.

Return code is : 1

Savefile is a quicksave (don't know if important) and i don't think is corrupted...if you want i could upload it.

As repeated every time the game crash returning to XFCE the gamma value is not restored.

Hope it help find the nasty bug.

ptitSeb · Jun 10, 2015

@Farox: can you send me the savefile?

Farox · Jun 10, 2015

Ok i've just packed the entire valve dir...just in case.
