This is a bit meta, sorry.

A tutorial from the Jailbreak team about how to make videos.

When is this mod going to be distributed on Steam?

Sure, I’ll give Internode and 3FL a try.

Very cool mod, I enjoyed playing it, although it can get a little unbalanced when people on your team don’t work together and/or don’t know what to do. When people use mics, it makes the game much more fun as well.

I would recommend trying this out for anyone who likes online FPS.

I’m working on getting a couple up for you guys, it would help a lot if you emailed a few of the bigger Aussie server providers to back me up.

That’s not a 100% total conversion

It uses a few hl2 sound including the death beep and one of the weapons firing sounds (weapons don’t sound right, they are too quiet for what they do and look like) and it uses hl2 animations aswell, albeit with different models but still the same animations.

In all fairness, source netcode is a bit shit. The games themselves are just better than the netcode is shit.

Glad you plan to keep it installed, we built it as a jump-in-and-play kinda mod, where you can do exactly as you just said!

As for the perks, the way they work right now worked great in beta testing, but now we’ve publically released we’re seeing the flaws, like the ones you mention above and as such the patch will be changing the way perks are distributed to players to make it more balanced and fun.

Played a little yesterday. It’s fun, to a point. Enjoyed a couple 30-40 minute long blasts, but it didn’t seem to suck me in any longer than that. I’ll likely keep it installed and jump in now and again, either to while 30 minutes away, or if some friends want to run around in it for a while. But I doubt it (or any other online FPS) will hook me like Dystopia did.

Couple criticisms… It lacks hit beeps. It needs hit beeps. Also, the perk system just seems wrong. Team A vs Team B. Team A do well and wipe Team B for an execution. Team A get points. Team B don’t get points. Team A get perks. Team B don’t get perks. Team A have an extra advantage (over the one which allowed them to wipe Team B) and win again, getting more points and more perks, and get more of an advantage. Noone on Team B gets points, or perks, and none of them have a good time, and they all leave the server.

I hate our sparse population; this seems to happen for every game. Big, moping sadface.

Fairly certain he was just trolling.
