<div class="IPBDescription">HL2 Mod</div> I used the search function and to my surprise I couldnt find any topics on this mod...so I'll make one for it!

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Eclipse  is a third-person total conversion of Valve's Half Life 2 . You play as a young Sorceress named Violet whose father went missing five years back. After learning the secrets of Telekinesis, you are teleported into Auld-Haven, a lush and fertile land where Violet grew up. Your objective is to return to Violet's home where she last saw her father years ago and dig up any clues to his whereabouts. In the broken down tower of her home you discover a journal left by her father. The journal unlocks a handful of secrets that ultimately leads you on a quest to find the ancient teleportation device - the Standing Stones.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    I got sick of the horrible framerates and having my rocks unable to do any damage. I didn't play it long.

    I think the best summary of this game remains "grav gun with cleavage".

    I enjoyed it for half an hour as it felt a bit like Fable.

    Then I got to a stupid underground puzzle and gave up.

    I found it pretty damn awesome. Apart from the running animation of the girl. She looks like her legs are made entirely of rubber bands.

    Did anyone else have a great deal of difficulty killing anything with the rocks? I became convinced that I wasn't supposed to fight anything yet, and went looking for somewhere else to go when the first troll thing came through the grate.

    it might now be so bad if my fps didnt suck.. i havent tried turning off the bloom effect yet but i doubt it would make a difference.. its probably my **** cpu bottlenecking my gpu... i dunno though..

    itd prolly still be boring... and its impossible to aim my rocks with such bad fps...

    The underground puzzel is like like "Round the roses" so easy but you think in hard ways. The best part in the game was shooting down a wooden bridge with trolls in cages over a deep cliff.

    To solve the puzzel:



    Take each rock from the pedistals and throw em at the panel located in the water. You can just shoot everyone at the center as they will stick easily to it's right position. I solved it by randomly throwing those symbol rocks around <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If you hold the trigger down it charges up the rocks. Kills in one go.

    That was basically the end, too.

    Yeah, I saw a thread in here about Eclipse not too long ago.
    Played it.
    Too short.
    Whopdee, something new with the HL2 mod.
    Not exciting.
    For some reason, 2D art isn't really well done.

    But coming from a very, very small group of kids in a college and not full time developers with lots of experience, you really have to hand it to these guys.

    on the note of college kids making mods, you could go and check out <a href='http://www.samurailegends.com/' target='_blank'>Samurai Legends</a>, but apparently the beta has ended i guess it'll be released soon though. Anyway it's erh... basically a MMORPG combat mod with pretty boring skills, isn't really fun in my oppinion, but then again i played with people who had little to no clue about it :/.

    Nope, you really don't. That hand is reserved for the original Counter-Strike team.

    3.2 Ghz P4
    1 gig 400Mhz ram
    Mobility Radeon 9700 128Mb

    I run HL2 at 1024x768, 2xAA 8xAF with everything maxed at a beautiful 60 FPS. I barely get 10 FPS in Eclipse with low detail at 800x600... >_<

    Yeah the people who made this messed something up, because it runs about as smooth as sand-paper on any machine.

    Perhaps they need some lessons in hint brush usage ;P.
