New hl versions

Confucious · June 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">Does it affect the game much?</div>I was wondering if the new patches for HL make balancing the game a bit harder. Has it caused any unforseen glitches in the gameplay? I'm worried this will slow down the release date.

better we find the glitches now than if the patch were released the day after ns was released

No. Patches usually fix stuff. And Valve works closely with modders to ensure they know whats coming up and any changes they need to make.

Patches never alter gameplay aspects of mods. Except patches made by the modders.

heh. well historically, almost ever hl patch has broken a mod. especially the 'big' releases. they almost always break action half-life, then the last one w/ steam nearly broke everything (ahl, desert crisis, i heard flf and some more even). so yeah, as long as cs works valve doesn't really seem to care if other mods break...

nstr works though, commander mode and all. so yeah ns is prolly fine...

For clarification:

In my original post I thought rhicochett (or however its spelled) was a modification to the HL game itself: meaning bullets would bounce off of walls and such, and so it would be something that could be applied to mods.

ricochet is an entirely new mod, just as tfc is different than cs is different than ns... it won't affect other mods, but knowing valve if you delete it you won't be able to update to future patches, so you'll just have to let it sit on your hard drive and waste space...

Hmm.. just a few minutes ago, Comprox hosted a Ricochet server for us in #naturalselection.. only 8 player spots, but it was fine. I played for about an hour or more, we had great fun. I must say that Zero7 is the undisputed champion at Ricochet, especially for a youngster <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I noticed I can't vote ranymore in SI, the F1 key brings something up, but i can't see what it is, I just see an orange border, it worked fine before they released the patches, oh well I'll just bind it to another kind, is thsi just in SI, or is the F1 key not working in other mods?
