Welcome
to another week...
Well, its Monday, I have been
up since 06:30... I feel good... I think I might have some
normal sleeping patterns again! This week, I plan do get some
mapping done for my mod. Also I'll hope to keep you guys up-to-date
on Half-Life.
Blood
Problems?
A chap called "Slo"
e-mailed me a problem with Half-Life, here is what he had
to say...
"Got
big prob with HL,
in every MOD or normal HL, single or multi, I got blood drops
(hit ones) too
big, i.e. when
you hit someone close-infrontofya I get such lag (because
of
dayum big blood drops!).
any ides on how to get rid of big blood (get it to normal
size)?"
I have never encountered this
and don't know any console cvars that can fix this problem,
anyone got any ideas because its stumped me! If you have some
input contact me.
Ta! I'm off to do some research!

Firearms
1.2 Released
People over at the Firearms
mod have released the next version of their mod. Go and get
it here. Note, that this is a 'Full Install' and not
a patch. So you will have to delete your current 'Firearms'
mod directory First. Go get it here.
Wasteland
I have just been over to Wasteland
and seen that the Beta 2 is at 89%. Great news because
this mod is great! Go and get it here if you don't have it
already!
Note, Read the ReadMe or you
might run into problems! You should also note, Beta 2 will
be for Half-Life 1.1.0.0. The patch isn't out yet but its
coming! Thus Wasteland Beta 2 will probably be out just after
the release of 1.1.0.0.
MatrixHL
Tim Boff over at MatrixHL
has updated... So good news if it comes to light! Maybe we
can look forward to seeing what MatrixHL has to offer soon!
New FGD
I have updated the "FGD
Zip" in the files
section of HLCU. Desert Crisis has been added to the zip.
Visit the files section
to get it.
Files
Section Rework
The files section of the site
is growing and needs to be organised. I will be implementing
a new structure... I'll let you know when its done.

Files
Section
I haven't changed the files
section yet but I have added a couple of links. Check
'em
Radium
For those people who know
what radium was all about, I'm sure you loved it! Its sad
to see that Radium is shutting up shop. Take
a trip over to radium as I did and be influenced by what
radium has to say! What a guy. Respec to Radium!

I have had some very exciting developments today which you

news HLCU style.

Jumbot
and Half-Life 1.1.0.0
I have been talking to Richard
Whitehouse, he has informed me that unless 1.1.0.0 has something
'phenomenal' in it he will 'NOT' be updating Jumbot
1.8.
This means that for all you
Jumbot lovers, If you install 1.1.0.0 when it is released...
you will not be able to use it. Unless you have a second install
of Half-Life somewhere else on your computer at 1.0.1.6.
I'll keep you updated on events!

Problems
Sorted...
I have got the problems with
the site sorted... I don't know what happened and no one can
tell me either! Damn... I'll post the toady's news shortly.
I just couldn't believe my
eyes when I went to my own URL... I got a directory list!
No one else has access to the FTP... so I'm stumped as to
how it happened! I hope that never happens again... Sorry
to anyone who couldn't get access.
