your probably told by some guy that took one look at the mod and thought it sucked.
 
I'm not the one who had him banned :D
However,even if the unpatched 1.0X had really its fair share of bugs,our worst enemy has always been performance & stability ("lack performance leads to instability",it's a zen truth)
 
here is the intro text present in the installer and,in the near future,on filefront:

Half-Life²:SUBSTANCE GOLD brings you hectic gameplay action and harder challenges: 4 gamemodes to test your skills with, a wide array of weapons and 5 different player classes to best suit your gaming style! Welcome to the real Substance, what action is made of!

Aka legendary difficult,more battles and health management: Survivor gives you shields like in Halo and takes away most of the health packs making life leeching necessary - an error too many done in the canals could prove fatal only in the citadel;

- Get acquainted with the new game features in the revised VR Training map or enjoy the Substance comics by artist LKL;

- General fixes: stats are now ported through levels,fixed bugs concerning invisibility,blue grids and turrets.

- System requirements: same as The Lost Coast. To avoid performance-related bugs,lower your detail settings and customize your launch options (steam -> hl2 -> properties) this way: -console -debug -heapsize [half your ram x 1000; mine is 1024 so I type -heapsize 512000]
 
lol I played this mod and it stuttered so much I couldn't even play lol
 
chewyxx: and sound stutter is an idea of mine! In the land of the deaf,the man with only one ear is king
 
Inflame007: Now explain me... why would the assasian become inviseble if the gun didn't? If you played fear you would know how should the assasian work....
Click to expand...

for the same reason why in the Predator movies when the creature pulls out his staff or throws the disc,it goes out of his stealth field and becomes visible (btw in game it looks like a shield rather than invisibility NDR)
 
Hey, xdiesp. Um. Are you guys any closer to a release date? If not that's ok.
I appoligise for asking if you can't tell me. :)
 
if the mapper completes his work fast and the updated beta that will be released this monday will prove bug free,just some days
 
Understandable. Good work so far in the mod! You and Jerry make a great team! :)
 
was it Beavermon asking how much would have taken to release the 1.2? I had answered that the factors were 2,the mapper finishing his work and the beta tests giving positive results. In the end,it's been the mapper who has been dragging ourself slow...but I had him swear on everything we has good in life that the map would be complete for Xmas!
 
weapons disappearing?

With beta 1.2 2 my "1" weapon (crowbar/knife/etc) disappears as soon as I get another weapon. Also, when I reload from a save, some weapons disappear, i.e. early in the canals, the "hunting rifle" and "flare gun" go away. I can restart with the "Bug fix" option, and everything gets picked up again, but I'm wondering whether there is a work around or whether there is a better place to send beta problems.

Thx.
 
terrifying,I never came here for a week! :( Anyway,expect an "inter-nos" final 1.2 version for tonight (now it's 9 pm here). If everything works good enough,I will be free :D
 
Half-Life²:SUBSTANCE GOLD gives the HL2 single player campaign harder challenges and hectic action: 4 gamemodes to test your skills with, a wide array of weapons and 5 different player classes to best suit your gaming style. Welcome to the real Substance, what action is made of!

Features:

- New single player campaign modes: European Extreme mode is a nightmare/legendary difficulty with all the Substance features but no extra encounters - best for low-level hardwares; the Gordon Tales are an alternate take on Freeman's arrival to C17, which start with a new intro and follow his steps in the Seventeen Years War - think of the chaos of the "Follow Freeman!" chapter,only from the beginning; while Survivor mode is based on health management and trades Halo shields for medikits, so you must save and leech health or an error too many in the canals could prove fatal only in the citadel!;

- Gameplay additions: bullet time + fast reload as in Max Payne 2, gruesome new gibbing system,friendly fire,open wounds, Critical Hit System as in Shogo (score headshots and melee kills to win health!), the weapons' weight affect your walk speed, fast Punch button, crosshair disappears if you don't slow down, alternate firemodes, allies spawning, enemy conversions, incendiary/dark energy shells, kill striders with normal guns and meet bullsquids, houndeyes, assassins and stalkers;

- The lost Raising the Bar HL2 intro recreated by MedicDance and Smanu85;
