Soon S&I
will have a Half-Life 1.1 compatible version of their mod:
Bad
news. We had planned to release a Half-Life 1.1 compatible
version of SI today, along with the Half-Life patch itself.
Unfortunately, we didn't make it. We came close, but in
the end, we couldn't fix all the bugs in time. There were
a number of mild bugs (glitches) that we were just going
to release in spite of, but then an issue came up where
the server would crash when selecting teams at start-up.
The crashes are pretty bad, you'll have to reboot your pc
if you' re using Windows 98.
That
gave us the choice: release beta 0.96 in a hardly working
and highly crappy state, or delay a few days and release
a proper version. The choice was easy. Believe me, I don't
like it anymore than you people, but it's the way it is.

Action
HL News!
|10:47 AM|GMT|Killa-Kyle|
Over at Action
HL the team are having problems with teamplay bugs:
Damn
bugs, I hate em'!
Odd
things can sometimes happen in Teamplay, when dealing with
the end or start of the round. Sometimes its normal, starts
right, ends right and awards the points right. Other times
it doesn't start, ends when people are still alive or simply
awards the points to the wrong team. Its annoying to say
the least. I ended up spending most of my time on the server
doing nothing but spectating, trying to track it down.
Lets hope that the Action
HL team can get the bugs ironed out and bake a copy of
there mod for Half-Life 1.1 :) I will keep you posted.
Half-Life
Starwars Shutdown!
|9:21 AM|GMT|Killa-Kyle|
Half-Life
Starwars has been Shutdown... Lucas has shutdown the up-and-coming
mod for Half-Life...
Well,
it was fun while it lasted *sigh*. I've received a response
to my e-mail to Lucasarts. Well, turns out they want us
to shut this thing down...
I'm
not sure if the project's dead or not, but I couldn't imagine
building this mod under any other name. After all, the basic
premise of the design was based upon Star Wars. Why else
would a person have supernatural powers to push people?
I don't want to turn this in to AD&D ;)
Hmm,
well, I won't be here for much longer then... Good luck
to y'all.
Zoners
