The first two mirrors are the old HL1 mods.
The "Download Now!" links are broken ever since.
The hl2online mirror is listed in the news post, however the link to the installer on that website is broken. The rar archive works though.
Fileplanet isn't in the list of mirrors, however Fileplanet had the mod on the front page.
The southtexascs mirror is new, it wasn't there last time I checked.
 
Two other things

Is the lighting ****ed for anyone else? And am I right that there are no enemies in this mod............?
 
Yeah I'm stuck too

I got the key out of the staircase, drove the tractor around, turned on the power, what the hell do I do?

Hahaha okay as I was typing that I realzied what to do
Post anyway :thumbs:
 
Goddammit
Okay, I attached the thing to the back of the tractor, and can get into the dumbwaiter in time, but I seem to be too heavy. Any help?

I got bored of trying; the tractor's lack of horsepower meaning manouvering was a bitch and me not moving = noclip used. So kill me :p Anyway, I'm stuck after that.....
 
Stuck with with tracktor thing too. It kept getting un hooked when ever I actually made it inside the shoot thing before it went up
 
You know why I like hl2.net annoucments? (As opposed to other hl2 website's)

They have personallity.

<3
 
dear god.... that was poor. at first I thought the pumpkin face was gonna annoy me a lot as I couldnt see anything, then when it came off and I thought it was better with it, at least I couldnt see the horrible mapping. Then came the tractor, it got stuck twice, crashed my pc once, then the wire didnt get hooked to it properly, then I gave up after a few tries. dont mean to be horrible but this mod really is a joke. can anybody tell me if you get to see some ennemies at all ??
 
ok I figured out how to get to turn the key for the book.

hint: theirs a candle that isn't lit on the pentagram. you have to find some kind of flame

edit: and yes their is enimes. lol when they first appeard they scared the crap out of me for a second

I found a gasoline can there, and a can of spraypaint by the hint of where the key is. Will I need the gasoline can for the "flame"?

I had just put the key in, and I'm just thinking "Ohh ****... some bad dude is gonna jump out and kill me!", and RAN out of the house and tried to get back to the neighborhood, but this wall was in my way, and it said how I couldn't go back just yet.

Trying to use that dumbwaiter took me alot of time to figure out. I tried grabbing and pulling on it.
Then I noticed the tractor had a hitch on the back, put 2 and 2 together and tried it.
I had to noclip to get up there.

This mod is giving me the creeps; not knowing WHAT can show up around the corner.

Edit:.......
HOLY ****!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: I woke up my parents when these FREAKS showed up, with pumpkin heads!!!! Scared the **** out of me!!!!!!! :eek: I can't get out of the house!!! Everytime I try to jump threw an open window, the shudders close on me!
 
Put some spoiler tags on those please, some of us haven't had a chance to wait through fileplanets superb waiting system
 
The gas is for the tracktor, the flame/torch im talking about is by the fireplace. once you take the torch to the unlit candle you can then turn the key... *sequence* then make your way out and back to town

What happend for me is when I was coming back into town my FPS when to shit. happen for anyone else?
 
I finally won it!
I excaped the house threw the 3rd floor window, by stacking some boxes up, and got the hell out of dodge and back to the neighborhood.
Lighting flashed as I was heading back into the neighborhood. As I turned the corner, MORE Pumpkin-Head Freaks where waiting for me.

As I was kicking ass, I saw a HUGE head of a pumpkin sitting on a mountain, laughing with glee over what's happening.
I met up with my Trick-Or-Treating Buddy. Kicked some more ass. And at the end, he told me to "stand in a circle". Just then, this freakish thing appeared behind him, and said he was The Clockwork...something.

After some time, he disappeared. I walked over to where he was, and I won it! :D
And I do NOT want to go threw that thing again! Scared the CRAP out of me! :p
 
What the hell? The install file was 117 MB (is that right?), I installed it, it appeared in the mod list, I ran it, but clicking on Start New Game just brings me right back to the menu, nothing loads. Anyone else getting this?
 
Are we supposed to be fighting enemies?

I'm still playing around with the tractor and still havn't seen any enemies...
 
I don't think you fight enemies till the end..
 
Once you put the key in the lock of the book, light the 1 unlit candle, and turn the key. The book will open up and start flipping pages, then it will close.

The book will then rise and face you. Lighting will begin to shoot out of it. Then, a blinding flash...the book disappears.

Head down to the first floor... as SOON as you reach the door back outside, enemies with Pumpkin Heads will pop out and scare you half to death...:eek::x
I literly screamed out when I saw them and just started blasting away. Took like 2 minutes to calm myself down. :( HATE it when they suddenly popup infront of me!
I'm defentally gonna have nightmares after this... :p
They are actually the Zombies of HL2, but with a new, freaky skin.

The only way out of the house is back up the stairs to the 3rd floor.
When I finally realised they went down like Zombies, I cheated and started blowing them up with grenades. :D
 
Hi, Swiss here. I'm going to try to release an update that fixes the bugs that I am actually able to fix. The tractor crashing seems to only happen to some ppl, and they are able to work around it I hear. I've no idea why this happens but i attempted to change it a bit. I definately fixed the lighting and even improved upon the earlier working lighting (the latest screenshot shows this), added fog too and changed the sky texture to much darker. I'm also going to try to post a walkthrough for those of you that get stuck.
 
I am a victim of the occasional tractor crash, also the models are black and unlit along with trees and some of the signs.

Also load the pointfile in hammer before you compile the map so you won't get that message at the beginning.
 
As I was making my way back to the neighborhood after completing everything at the farm, My FPS went way down gradually then stayed around 10fps by the end. Is this a problem on my end or what??
 
My computer crashes half the time if I use the tractor :(
 
Was this originally the mod involving a punk kid grounded for vandalism, only to be snuck off by his friends on Halloween before Death kidnaps his girlfriend?
 
I installed it from scratch and the start new game button does nothing, still need assistance...
 
When I tried to download I got a 451 byte file that won't run and when I try to delete it, it tells me another program is using it.

Download the rar file, not the exe.

Oddly enough the .exe downloaded fine for me, was 117 MB, but new games can't launch. Maybe the .rar install is different?
 
Dammit this game is buggy, I keep getting the node graph messages, the lighting is weird sometimes, but usually fixes once I touch them and when bringing the torch up the third floor, it clipped through the stairs and dissapeared.
 
Laden with bugs?

Just A few bugs..

- Node Graphs have to be rebuilt ever time..
- Some of the doors to the houses can be opened.. but have just a concrete wall behind them.
- Models are lit at fullbright and totally black at times.
- The 3d skybox is just brown.. is this right? Hills of leaves? I could swear I saw something different..
- Tractor is impossibly hard to control. It also doesnt have enough power..I can't get up a few hills.. thus I'm stuck.

The whole thing seems incomplete, but some nice models and sound....

Hi, hope everyone's halloween was eventful. Over the next couple of days I am going to deal with 2 game issues people have been having. The first being the lighting issue. As I said before I was not aware that final compile lighting differed in that way, but I do know where the problem occurs so the fix shouldn't be too hard, just long (compiling both maps took 16 hours total) The second issue is the tractor in the murderhouse/farm map crashing the game. I must've tested that tractor 200 times and it never fouled up for me. I will test it thoroughly, and if I find no errors on my side, i will try to at least make some changes like its spawning position and maybe change the speed slightly. I will try to have something before friday, possibly tomorow (wed).

Seems they're aware & working at it. I'm not touching this till atleast Thanksgiving. :D
