----------------------------------------------------------
FAKEFACTORY & OGG Cinematic Mod for Half Life 2 V2.32 Complete
(Full localized Non Override Version)
----------------------------------------------------------
Patchlevel: Addon 3.22
What is this:
- The Cinematic Modification adds Hires-Textures to all human
characters, some
non-human characters, nearly all items, walls and vehicles (and the
vending
mashine of course). (Hint: If you prefer the original Low-Res
Textures, delete
or rename the "materials" folder inside the Mod.)
- It replaces the original HL2 music with a more classic score in the
style of
large Hollywood productions, that fits to the specific
game-situations. More
orchestral, more ambient, with unique themes for combines and Alyx.
(Hint: If
you prefer the original HL2-music score, delete or rename the "sound"
folder and
the "scripts" folder inside the Mod.)
- It adds a new weapons-balancing and strengthens all the weapons
to a more
realistic level. No more firing numerous rounds at the combines; kill
them with
3 to 5 direct hits, just like in real-life combat, but beware: Your
opponents
weapons are comparable. After 3 to 5 direct hits (or 1 direct
headshot) you
*will* be killed. (Hint: If you prefer the original Weapons
balancing, delete
the file "skill.cfg" inside the Mod's cfg-folder)
- The additional Insane Hires Props are previous unreleased
Hirestextures
for nearly all props in the game, even little items like
binders,
computerparts, doorlocks and so on. The huge amount of details will
give your
HL2 virtually the look of a render-intro, but be warned: The
amount of new
textures will tax your hardware to the limit. Better don't use this
pack with
outdated DirectX8 cards. Don't even think about it, unless you are using
a 256+
MB card.
Supplementing Info for users of the FAKEFACTORY HiRes Packs: This pack
combines
all the FAKEFACTORY HiRes Packs together and adds some new
ones. Just
override the allready installed textures with the new ones
in this
modification.
Replaced Textures:
------------------
nearly all Lores or Low-Detail textures
Requirements:
-------------
- Half-Life2 installed
- A graphics-card, that can handle 2048 x 2048 pixel
textures (any DirectX9 card should be okay). - plenty of RAM (you will
see some
ingame-stuttering with less than 1.5 GB ram)
Installation:
-------------
1. Unzip the archive to your harddisk.
2. Open the unziped archive and copy the "FAKEFACTORY_Cinematic"
and the "fakefactory_cinematic_german"
(inside "1. MOD Directory") folder to your <path to
SteamApps>/SourceMods/
folder and overwrite all previous files..
3. Install the XVID-Codec, if not allready installed (no restart required)
Restart Steam, Start a new game, choose "Third Party Games ->
FAKEFACTORY
Cinematic Mod" and enjoy a new Half-Life 2 Singleplayer experience.
First Run will take significant longer, because the source-engine
builds the
audio-cache files.
Installation for Garry's Mod:
----------------------------
If you want to use the new Hires-Textures with Garry's Mod, copy all
content
inside the "materials" folder (you'll find this inside the
FAKEFACTORY_Cinematic
dir) to the according folder in Garry's mod, usually:
<path to
SteamApps>/SourceMods/gmod9/materials
Deinstallation:
---------------
Delete the folders: <path to
SteamApps>/SourceMods/FAKEFACTORY_Cinematic <path
to SteamApps>/SourceMods/fakefactory_cinematic_german>
TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
IF YOU GET ASYNCHRONOUS SOUNDS, DO THIS: Search the file Autoexec.cgf
in the
MODS cfg folder for the line <snd_mixahead "0.7"> and
change it to
<snd_mixahead "0.1">
Legal notice: Used Soundsamples are copyright-free to my knowledge,
picked from
several free soundtrack teasers. If you encounter a copyrighted
song, please
contact me, so i can remove the file.

These just keep on getting better and better....
I cant wait for aftermath to come out so you can start working on it (hopefully)
Thanks for such a great mod DL now 
thx FF, nice work again...l
but i have one question about next packs (updates)
will you plan a packs for users 2.20full and addon to 3.22
i ask because i have all other updates and i dont know what to do start download this one...or waiting for future updates like small 3.23 or sth
COUNTER STRIKE SOURCE PACK PLEASE  . Great Work BTW.
I highly agree with #4 HL2 is awsome but if you did counter strike source too it would be ultimate.
A CS hi-res pack would be useless, imagne trying to have a server cache that crap.
Maybe on a huge bandwith, dedicated. I don't know. I sure as hell wouldn't be trying to join it.
It'd be awesome for single player use though ^_^
I have high resed my dod source
and my css weapon models
Does this even include the following:
HL2 FFs Addon Hotfix (v3.20) = the Ivy + decals
HL2 FFs Addon Hotfix (v3.21) = texture with better details + exture for better tiling
HL2 FFs Addon Full (v3.2) = - props + - walls and floors + Fast-Zombie skin + etc
Or do I need to add these seperately afterwards or before?
Thanks in Advanced
scorian u dont download map skins dummy, its client side. no extra bandwith or server cache would be used.
dont lie to these innocent children
re: I have high resed my dod source
Why havent you created a release? I would volunteer to test it
So are you sure this includes every texture from every addon and all the packs together? I wouldnt be suprised if it was missing a few textures and or files.
WOO! Thanks FakeFactory! I'm amazed at how much you go out of your way to help and please the community
Wow, too bad I'm on vacation at the moment, I'll downlaod it when I get back. Great work FF. Take a break, man!
is their a chance you add a little "bloom mod"?
that would be awesome. maybe you can contact someone at garrysmod for that?!
thx. looks very good. playing hl2 again... and again... and again LoL
@#14: He's been looking for a coder for a long time.
If he'll find one that is good, cinematic mod will come with bloom shaders, parallax-mapping and other new effects.
HL2 already has bloom. Look in the options menu. God, how many times do I have to say this?  Unless ur talking about bloom that's BETTER than the bloom we've already got, then that would rock.
A hires CSS pack would NOT work. I bet only 1/4 of the WORLD be able to run it at a good framerate. I certainly couldn't, not with my 2GB of RAM. 
Fakefactory: Are u ever going to reveal what your'e planning for HL2 if/when u find a coder? I'm just curious.
can you make high-res blood decals on ground and on body's?
the blood on the ground looks real eanoth.. the blood on body's looks horrible!
i mean something like the radi8 Bloom Mod. Or Garrys Bloom...
Q: I'm completly lost. What packs are needed to get the latest full
version?
A: To be up-to-date, just install the full pack of the CinematicMod
v2.20 or
Hirespack v2.20 and update the installation with
Addon2, Addon3.1 Addon3.2, Addon 3.21, Addon 3.22
(or just get the massive Fullpack v. 2.32)
That came from the latest hotfix readme so that should answer any "What the heck do I need to download" questions. IN OTHER WORDS if you d/l this file you have everything up until he releases something new.
@ FAKEFACTORY: German: There is a small translation error in German sprachsync in the play, which the developers made. In the scene, where gordon, alyx and you are imprisoned dad and breen with Dr. in the citadel speak, and Mossman Gordon released and afterwards Breen with the manipulator harm arranges, sits Eli and Mossman at the soil and lead a short dialogue. As Alyx says it is added soetwas like "Dad we longs itself again" and Eli drauf "never" the set of "Dad this is emergency A goodby" wrongly translated... Perhaps you can change also times, that would be mad
##~~ Post translated using Google, so it might not be perfect. I just couldn't be bothered translating it myself. Anyway, speak in ENGLISH or don't speak at all. ~~## - THGhost.
Wait...i dont get the installation....help.
@TheVoodoo
http://rapidshare.de/files/16164076/hl2_german_citadelspeechfix.zip.html
As always a great addition. You better do this for Aftermath whenever its finally released. You got a paypal account I can donate to?
Lovely food. For rabbits that is !
@ Lethal_NFS
Thx, but i'll keep this mod free. If i ever visit your country, you owe me a beer 
Really bad on this end and other end has just a slight amount of change due to the bevel edge disappearing.

All dumpsters do this. You should be able to see the difference in alignment.
Ton80: Someone had the same problem in the last update I think. I dunno what it is.
FF, come to Russia I'll buy you a beer too
OMG it's became 1.6Gb! So sad that I can't download it any more 
And one more thing : who made a music for you? It's genious, I cried, really. Orchestra with electronic sounds great.
hey, you really helped me, fakefactory, now i can re-download everything in 1 go THX
I'm lost too, does this file combine everything , even all the outdoor addons or what? I wanna know before I delete my older stuff.
It replaces EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! Even Add-On 3.22 Hotfix
For anyone having installation problems, read the README!
Installation:
-------------
1. Unzip the archive to your harddisk.
2. Open the unziped archive and copy the "FAKEFACTORY_Cinematic"
and the "fakefactory_cinematic_german"
(inside "1. MOD Directory" folder to your <path to
SteamApps>/SourceMods/
folder and overwrite all previous files..
3. Install the XVID-Codec, if not allready installed (no restart required)
Restart Steam, Start a new game, choose "Third Party Games ->
FAKEFACTORY
Cinematic Mod" and enjoy a new Half-Life 2 Singleplayer experience.
First Run will take significant longer, because the source-engine
builds the
audio-cache files.
##~~ Btw, you don't HAVE to put it in the SourceMods folder, you can run it just fine in your Steam account folder. ~~## - THGhost.
lol I will gladly buy you a beer. And if you ever decide to have PayPal donations available (which I think you should) please let me know. My email is jimshady01@hotmail.com I bet you could make alot of money for all the time you have spent with this mod and the Aftermath mods that you know you have to make lol. $$$ then you will have to buy me a beer.
This mod is the best ever, it makes hl2 a whole new experience. YOU ROCK!!!!!!
##~~ "GUYS" and "ROCKS" removed from post. Incorrect grammar and FakeFactory is ONE person. ~~## - THGhost
#28
A lot of it is taken from the Batman Begins songs
Anywho, thanks FAKEFACTORY for working so hard Really makes an older game look (and sound) really really good
I think fakefactoy has now achived God status in hl2filefront lol
this rocks... 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000/10
im getting a alienware laptop tomo... finnaly, stupid fedex takes forever to deliver
To Fakefactory:
I think you should try out for the Black Mesa Source team if you haven't already. They are looking for texture artists/skinners according to the latest interview with them posted on March 20th. Come on, you have one heck of a portfolio right here with this file.
FF you are the bomb! I'm so used to how awesome HL2 looks with your textures I'm afraid Aftermath is going to look horrible when it first comes out.
@Ton80
He actually is already a member of the staff
##~~ ***? FakeFactory? No he isn't. ~~## - THGhost.
@#9 i have submited my higher res skins and props for dod to filefront but they havent replyed yet
it is avalible via this thread
http://forum.moddb.com/thread/15534/
there is a full version and 2 hotfixes it makes most of the dod props look better/ higher res
I love all these cinematic mods from fakefactory, but I think when you got the final release, you'd try to compile it a little more, because 1,2 GB is really a huge mod (It's more than HL2).
@#14 my mod has parralax mapping and it takes time and alot of testing per texture for it to work.
also im not sure how it would work on textures this high res
in any point its a job that many woulnt undertake putting parralax mapping in hl2
also the build of hl2 you guys play wont support it youl get see through walls!
This is, in my opinion, one of the best mods ever for hl2; it's amazing FF.
I have a question about the blood though. Is it suppose to look like this?
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/3282/d3c170800004nn.jpg
#43: Yes, its ultra-realistic in my opinion.
Yeah the blood rocks in my opinion
You can send your file to me (nessdanlen@googlemail.com), I'll do my best to bring it online, Skyrid3r's often a bit busy. So just send it =)
(Everyone can, as I am a fileposter  )
Edit: No longer staff do not send your files to her !! . . Prolix
File Poster? Congrats.
hey FF, great job with everything, and i would love to know where you got the music from....^_^
i know some of it is from movies, i think i heard a lil from Pearl Harbor, and a couple other movies, but can you tell us where they are from...i would like to know...and im sure many others do also...=D
great job again
God, I thought FF composed the music himself 'cos he's such a good skinner! Lol! 
I can't download it.  My browser stops the download when the transfer speed is too slow, and whenever I try to click "resume", for some reason the download starts over again, overwriting the already transferred data and then stops at 31kB claiming to be finished. I don't know what to do; my patience is running out after third time of starting the download only to see it fail after having transferred 400 megs.
Isn't it possible to split the huge download to smaller archives, like 100 megs or so? I'm really looking forward to downloading and playing this mod, but currently I can't.
#50: Just download v.2.20 and the 2 hotfixes.
Well, I found a workaround. I just made a backup copy of the incomplete file whenever the download stopped, and then when the resumed file overwrote itself, I paused the transfer, copied the backup copy back over the resumed file, and then resumed again... It seemed to work!
A pain in the butt, but now it's finally finished! Gonna install now and see if I have to get some more RAM...
the_grim: Ok, cool. Good job. I need some more RAM too, 1GB just isn't enough... How much RAM do you have?
I just bought 2 gigabyte dual ram.. because this mod is getting wilder and wilder
@ FF: Can you post some teaser screens on something we can look forward to or tell something about a forthcoming addon.
OK, tested for a while, and I have to say that the mod rocks! Too bad that on my system the loading times almost take longer than the levels between them, and the stuttering makes fighting scenes really difficult... But it looks damn nice.
I am a Finn, so it was naturally quite surprising to actually find Finnish milk cartons in the mod. Those light-blue and white colored cartons with the cow on the front are an actual Finnish design! (It's fat-free milk, btw.) I have to agree they fit quite well in the eastern-Europe setting of the game, but I hope FakeFactory doesn't think Finland is a former part of the Soviet Union... I noticed most of the posters on the walls seem to be in Czech, so maybe he thought that milk carton was too.
#55: Lol, another helping of the "FakeFactory Charm".
If you look closely you will find many little easter eggs. Hires is great.
I see you have done the elevator panels, i don't know if this is forgotten one or just a bug or something.
So i took a shot >>> http://www.home.no/djbase123/elevatorpanel.jpg
The point where it is, is just after you meet alyx for the first time.
Anyway... Looking forward to you next addon
I would just like to show you people 3 screens i took today..
In 2 month time i have mixed the cinematic mod with another mod called smod.. NO GAME WILL BEAT THIS IN A LONG TIME!!
The best thing is when you go in bullettime and the cinematic music is playing, that allmost makes me cry everytime.
But take a look guys:
http://www.home.no/djbase123/bullettime1.jpg
http://www.home.no/djbase123/bullettime2.jpg
http://www.home.no/djbase123/bullettime3.jpg
#58: Yeah that is pretty wierd. Why aren't the 2 panels the same?
#59: Wow, those look amazing. Would you mind sharing a link to this "Smod"? And please don't send me a link to a japanese website 'cos I got that before and I couldn't understand a word it said.
No he has not forgotten the texture. The Problem is that the whole elevator must be textured with one texture-file. He cannot increase the resolution anymore.
This texture looks so shabby. I would appreciate a rework of this one:
http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/628/matschboden28dk.jpg
Langenscheiss: I know, that texture's been annoying me for ages.
@ Langenscheiss
Maybe it's a hard texture to do when ol that garbage is on it 
No the garbage is just an overlay.
But i am sure this is a hard one and therefore we need good skinners. Just like FakeFactory.
Your welcome
Langenscheiss... I'm a little afraid here you said that FF was working on black source in another post (whatever that is) does that mean that FF don't work on the cinematic anymore ?
@ DjBase2006
Still work on CM 3.0
Hope to get it out close to or after the Aftermath release
DjBase2006: Could you post a link to Smod so I can get it? Don't worry, I won't report you as advertising.
FF: CM 3.0!? Will that include one of those high poly Alyx's you mentioned a little while back?
http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7836/sexyalyx0og.jpg
http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/6742/alyx0ms.jpg
I look forward to it!
Sure THGhost
Just download Smod 36
http://ocn.amikai.com/amiweb/browser.jsp?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geocities.jp%2Ffaster_down%2Fsmod_bak%2F&display=2&langpair=2%2C1&c_id=ocn&lang=JA&toolbar=yes
DjBase2006: Thanx.  So I don't need Smod36a_diff? Also, what does Smod actually do? Make the bullet time and explosions more realistic or something like that? And, where do I put? In the ValveSteamSteamApps<Username>Halflife2hl2 folder?
Just copy the smod-folder into Sourcemods . Then you can copy materials, sounds and models from cinematic mod into the smod-folder et voila , you have a combination of smod and cinematic mod.
Then you must edit the config file. You have some config files which include some parametres for a low end, mid end, or high end rig etc. Just copy the parametres you want into the main config file "config,cfg" and play.
Langenscheiss: You don't HAVE to put it in SourceMods do you? 'Cos the Cinematic Mod's not in there on my PC. I've put the Cinematic Mod in my username folder and it works fine...
my comp alone can hardly handle this mode.
if you would pud two mods in one then you would need a very good computer..
so all the low ends won't be able to do this.
Langenscheiss said it all.. that's exactly how i did it too
Then you can make smod like you want too in the cgf folder.. i personaly prefere the hl2 normal blood gore and so on.
@72: Well if it works and don't have anything against it :-) . The rest has to be done as explained.
Langenscheiss: Ok, thanx pal. But I haven't actually got this mod yet. I've downloaded it sure, but I haven't got it working yet because I need more RAM! I mean it now, I tried it a few weeks ago and I simply couldn't play it. Lol. 1GB of RAM just isn't enough I guess. Once I get more RAM I'll install this mod and try it with Smod.
PS. What does Smod actually do? I've heard that it makes the bullet time and explosion effects more realistic, is that it?
@ THGhost
Yes that's right... but that is not the only thing, it also give the single player new life with more enemies (combines) new wepons and much much more.
@ DjBase2006
Ok, sounds cool. I'll get it once I have more RAM.
@FakeFactory: Am I allowed to use some of the textures and other features contained in this pack in a mod of my own? If I ever get the mod finished and IF I upload it anywhere, I will of course give you proper credit for the textures. Thanks.
@ the_grim
Yes, as long as you give him FULL credit for the textures you can use them for your own work. Also, if you use the bumpmaps don't forget to give credit to Ogg, not FF.
@THGhost : Don't know what your problem is. I have 1Gig and it works very good. I must admit that there a few situations where the framerate is quite low but actually even with Smod it remains playable. I even have 16xAF and 6xAA activated. Without any optimizations of course (i use ATI Tray Tools).
Langenscheiss: Well I do have other addons and mods installed, so that might be it. All PCs are different I guess.
Yes, but the difference is only dependent on the components. If you posess 1 gig RAM and have a mother board which is capable of interacting with this RAM with an appropriate speed (400DDR low latency) it should be as fast as my PC if you have a graphics board with 256MB RAM and the same Aperture Size restriction.
Could you please tell me what other addons you have installed?
Langenscheiss: They're not much. It's probably just my mother board.
i just cant understand how to get the mod to work
##~~ Read the README ~~## - THGhost.
You know what texture's been bugging me a lot, one that I wish was redone? When you take the "elevator" up to the top of the citadel and see the city below. very low res. Prolly take awhile, but wondering if that was on the to-do list? Thanks FF, just let me know whichever
Btw it would be great if we get a small media update and some hints of what we might expect for the next Version of Cinematic Mod.
@ Langenscheiss
I agree fully... The worst thing is, that it's gonna be a long wait this time before we see any of FF's new textures. Fake factory said that we first see somethng new a little before the release of episode 1or after.
So more than 1½ month again
But the good thing is, it will be a major update and not just another hotfix. Anyway: SOME PICS PLEASE for us little beggars :-)
yeah FF, what about what #68 posted?
I received an email by FakeFactory and i know what he's planning for CM3.0 but since i don't have any permission i won't post anything . But i told him to post a little news so maybe you get to know what you could expect for the next version.
@ Langenscheiss
Wish i knew what you knew hehe
There must be a bunch of textures this time when the mod comes, i hope FF will tease us a little soon.
Langenscheiss: C'mon, surley u can let us know something?
16FireAway16: Plz, call me THGhost/Ghost.
@Langenscheiss
You can post the mail.
Always loved the hires mod, but 1.16Gb for a download? Bit excessive in my opinion. No way I'll be able to download it in one session, and do download managers work from the 3 download links on this page?
yeah 1.16Gb for a mod sucks! but I'm sure it's awesome once you've got it!
Really don't like this, hate what you did to Alyx, she's absolutely butchered, her face is nearly featureless, I support high definition releases like this but don't mess with their facial structure, Alyx sporting makeup, perfect eyebrows, and an all around Model-esque appearance? Blegh to the extreme, blegh to the fourth power even, I do rather like Barney and Kleiner though, the rest of the male-resistance work was also very good, can't say the same for the opposites though, doesn't run Too well on here, but it's gorgeous.
Ok guys: FakeFactory Cinematic Mod Version 3.0 will likely feature beside everything we already have:
- Dynamic Sound System = Music adapts to gameplay
- Bloom Shader
- realistic Lens-Flare effects
- reworked hires textures (remaining scaling bugs will hopefully be fixed)
Sounds quite promising imo. Let's hope there will be a high-poly alyx.
The update will mainly focus on shaders and sound. Don't expect too much new hires content. But in the end i would be glad if all the bugs will be fixed. I sent FakeFactory a zip file with screenies of bugs I found in his mod. Maybe this will help him to make his work even better.
Thanks for the info Langenscheiss... Sounds more than okay to me 
I agree with #96 here with Alyx. I know that Valve did a bang-up job on her face. But now think about the storyline. Do you really think that ANY woman is gonna look as good with all the makeup that is portrayed in the latest Alyx model when by the storyline there is NO makeup to be had!!!! The supporting troop female characters actually look more realistic with all their blemishes considering the above-mentioned fact of the story, which is, no supplies. Seriously, where in the world did Alyx get the makeup? The original makeup doesn't last THAT long. Now Alyx looks good from the head on down without the torn-up shirt. I seriously think that a woman is not gonna wear something like what was portrayed in the third selection of the creator pack that you did unless she JUST came out of a battle with blood all over her. Yes I know that you wanted her more sexy but seriously why??? It doesn't match the story and are you really trying to attract juvenile males that have no real deep-down experience of any kind or fans of the game???
Now a suggestion; Alyx looks dang good without the makeup. Isn't she a model in her past life before THE incident??? True show models look very good with very little makeup. Any female will tell you that and I think that most males would agree on that point. I think the original Valve version of Alyx face will do. I think they got her face spot on. So there is a slight amount of blemishes in her. Actually to tell the truth, I like a woman without makeup. More natural. The more they put on, the more the mask hides and the more you are deceived. Yikes!!! True, there are some things that they can take care of like SHAVE OFF the mustache! Yes seriously.
Umm, I don't think that Alyx has that problem.
On a separate thing: in the 'Our Benefactors' map with the blue grav gun and consecutive associated maps, there is a big problem in realism with the suit power, being 750 max, and the hurt that one gets to his health. Very un-balanced!!! After playing though the whole game up to this point, one would assume that 750 suit would help out a lot, but it don't do squat!!! I'm dead with about 600 left on the suit. It seems that you didn't adjust the ratio of armour/hit points for these areas. A hint for the newbies, DON'T waste any of the power-up stations on that series of maps past 100 Health. That way you would have more efficient use of those stations. Might make a difference in the gameplay.
OK i AM DEFINITELY going to download this AWESOME mod, but first of all, i wonder if I even can run it properly, I have quite a lot of knowledge on computer hardware and all, espescially Graphics Crads, but any hoo, i just wanna know if anybody with a PC spec'ed at P4 1.8GHZ , 1GB DUAL DDR RAM, 160GB HDD, and unfortunately an ATI Radeon 9800SE 128MB RAM .... my question is does anybody have a computer lower spec'ed than this? and can u play this mod say around 30+fps with Anti-Aliasing and Anistopic Filtering on max, cause i play HL2 with everything on MAX except for shadows....very Taxing on ur graphics card....and i don't really experience stutterring/LAG/Latency...oh man 700mb+for v2.2 ...dats ok but 1GB+ for v2.32 awwww...that is way outta my league for ADSL 256k....
I'm running a 6800 on a A64 3200+ KV8-pro with 1 gig memory and the only areas that I have a problem with major slowdowns is in open outdoor areas when they first load up. Real choppy as you turn around then it seems to smooth out. Download it overnight if possible. It's worth it.
I this is a little late to be asking but I have
AMD Athlon 64 processor 3400+
2.21 GHZ
an Nvidia 6600
and 1gb of ram (going to get more soon)
is that good enough to play it?

Yea u can run the mod, it ALL depends on ur GPU, graphics processing unit, and i think u posted 3 times lolz
Hi there! If you remember I complained about double faces in youre addon. I just remember one more thing - I'm use ver1 of HL2. Is it OK? Or it cause problem of "double faces"? Am I need to update the game? Or it's not so necessary?
Ton80:
i want my ingame-companion pretty, not a scarface
The VALVE-style-version of Alyx is allready included in the pack (directory "Alyx Construction Kit" See this screen:
http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4mf.jpg
About the health-charger level: The weapons are a lot stronger now. Therefore a bunch of combine soldiers with pulse-rifles can easily kick your butt. This was one goal of the mod. The citadel level shouldn't be a piece of cake. It should give some headache, how to reach the top-level.
You can delete the skill.cfg inside the mods cfg folder for old game-balancing, as you can read in the readme.
@d_mazai:
Sorry, don't know, if the old version of hl2 could cause trouble. I'm using allways the latest patch-level of the engine.
Since not all computers can handle a 2000 x 1000 res skin.
whats the res of the main characters without any add-ons, if its the same then nvm
I can handle this mod, but the highest res I can put the game on is 1024 x 768 and that sucks.
And what about the humans, whats their face res?
You guys should make a hi res pack for older comps.
Look from the very outset it was started like project for FAST computers. Because Source can more, but for you and for people with slow machines Valve made (specially , notice it!) system requirements very (again notice it VERY) low. So, you have to upgrade you computer or play in original hl2. Becuase retexturing it's huge amount of work, and it's impossible to satisfy everybody.
Yes we already had this topic. It's a hires pack. This is only for the very fast computers although i have to admit mine is two years old and can still handle it. It's the same with SM3.0 . People with SM2.0 always complain about games using only SM3.0 for the very cool effects. Of course, most effects are possible with SM2.0 but SM3.0 just offers more performance and at last relief mapping (or steep parallax-mapping) needs dynamic branching and Sm2.does not have that so every computer will be out-dated after some time.
My comp isnt old, its just for some reason it wont let me raise my res higher than 1024 x 768
and at that res the faces on the Main characters get a little blurry from far away, the civillians are ok though. Fakefactory should fix some of their skins though, mostly some of their cliff ones look bad up close
like this rock gravel thing, if you see further ahead you can see the skin looks good, but when you get closer it looks bad.

@GunxSlayer: Check your monitor. In most cases it does not have anything to do with the graphics board. For example my monitor also cannot go further than 1024 x 768
I think your right.
Ive been thinking about that, but i wasnt sure if that was the reason.
sorry for the several posts, that was my first time posting images
Oops, sorry about those post too, internet error....Anywayz, it depends on the monitor. if u are using FLAT SCRREN MONITORS, your resolution is RESTRICTED TO 1024x 768, nobody with tft monitors can go higher than that, and some
so no flat screen can get higher than 1024 x 768 res?
Well, actually,a 17 inch monitor can reach 1280 * 768 or something in that region. Bigger monitors can go further.
almost all flat screen monitors released in 2005, could not go higher than 1024 resolution, but now there are some monitors which can go higher than that, but are insanely expensive, and then there is the response rate (rms) lower = bettercurrently fastest is 2ms
Guess im stuck with my monitor. I hate the bulky ones and I dont feel like buying an expensive new flat screen monitor.
How much ram is recommended to play the mod with? I have 1 gb, but it still gets laggy when something new is happening. Like when barney first walkes in to Dr. Kleiners lab. It lags for like 1 sec, but thats still too laggy for me.
@ GunxSlayer
1 GB is minimum, i recommend 2 GB. But even more important is the VRAM of you graphics card. Don't use the mod with a 128 MB card. For fitting all textures and meshes into VRAM ( = smooth playing) you need a 512 MB card.
Look cool. I'm down
I hope we can expect the next release in one or two months.
I really like the music in the Cinematic mod, but also really like the music in HL2, is there an easy way (I mean, which files to delete) to delete the files that play over the original tracks but still have some of the other files that play when there was originally no music?
Why doesnt fake faketory have a site? Is thre any plans for a counter-strike source pack?
Do you realise this mod also does not auto quicksave?
If you die you have to start the chapter all over again
The wait is getting very hard now Hope to see something new soon as we aproach episode 1 soon
@Mozzer
F6 is your friend (or set the entry sv_autosave "0" to sv_autosave "1" in the autoexec.cfg)
@DjBase2006
Progress is delayed until i can figure out some heavy coding issues, but a little update will be released shortly after HL2:Episode1 is out.
It's a pity that you still didn't find a good coder.
I had an x800 xt platinum and i ran all these mods on max with great fps and my x800 is 256 megabytes.
I now have an x1900 xtx and it still runs fine with 512 megs of vram
I'd just like to say that I can run this mod fairly well on my system, with only occasional slowdowns. Nice job!
My Specs:
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1gb RAM
256mb Geforce 6600
hi there , theres a problem with the tree in game. the branch detail isnt there like in the screens. the bark texture is fine, but no small branches. whats wrong?
I would use the default tree models. I prefer them because in some areas Fake's models collide with house walls.
My advice for the next release: Give them more polys but keep their shape.
how in the world do i engage bullet time? do i need to bind it to a key ? if so how do i do that? also the kick action how do i use that? and is there another easy action that lists all the commands in stead of the console? i know thats a lot of questions but if someone can answer my questions i'll send you an E-burger!
Lol, you can assign keys in the config file OR in the options menu. The first entries in that key binding menu. "Gordon Kick" "Iron Sight" etc...
ur lucky renegade fury....i have the same card you USED to have (got it for xmas) and now i have my eye on the the one u just got!!! haha  damn you! lol, i want that card sooo much! Hats off to you and fakefactory p.s. How much was it? im guessing 500 to 550.
Well the reason i got the x1900 was that my x800's fan died( most likely from overclocking) and my warranty expired. So when i was looking for a replacement fan I happened to see an x1900 XTX. Well lucky my I bought that! O and its price was 450$.
Price ranges from 450-600 American Dollars.
Thanks Langenscheiss! didnt notice the new binding option lol. Now how do i slow down my bullets and the combine, as well as my useage of my bullet time even further? also what do i do to make the bullets and explosions have the cool warp stream around em?
Look in the config folder of the mod. There are some files that contain different parametres for different system specs and different preferences. Just copy the these parametres into the main config file and you get what you want. I used all the things for HighSpec and SuperGore etc. Then you should get the warp trail.
And Smod really is a lot of fun when using cheats. Impulse 101, god etc. Btw: If you activate cheats the bullet time acts more like in max payne. Your movement is slower but the enemy's movement is much slower than yours and your bullets are faster than the enemy's bullets.
Not realistic, but a lot of fun! :-)
Question: In of these screenies here you can see ravenholm and all the wood textures redone. In my version one is missing and therefore looks really odd in its places. I remember sending you an email with a screenshot showing this texture. Could you please include it in CM3 ? It's the one behind the saw blades.
@Langenscheiss
Okay, will pack the complete wood-texture folder into the next interims release, just for shure.
Does that mean that you already had a lot of textures redone before releasing 2.32?
my PC:
P4 2.4 Mhz
512Mb RAM
GeForce FX 5600 256mb (last Drivers)
It is possible to receive acceptable image here?
Now I am observe double npc faces, blur and movement on all hires textures.
@ 154
If your trying to run this mod on that PC.. u will get these results, your RAM's too low and Graphic card isn't that good... I'm not making u feel bad or sumthing, Juss get atleast 1.5 GB RAM then see the difference.
One thing i wanna say to FF... Plz dont make these mods so big that it takes hell long to download... Well its worth killing the time and watching TV but still PLZ, I beg u... Compress the files so its about 500 - 800 Megs (Even with Cable and a Download accelator it takes me about 40 mins to download this)
Can it be that today we feel way to comfortable. Few years ago i was happy about an only-40-mins download. FakeFactory will release the full version as well as the update i presume.
Hey there...reading through PC Gamer, I found out about this mod...I haven't installed it yet but just reading these threads and seeing the pics...can't wait! I've DL'd the HUGE file already but just haven't had time to install.
One question...My LCD's native res is 1600x1200 and I have a 3.4Ghz P4, 1GB DDR2 ram and X800XT...am I gonna see a difference after I install all this...or is this only for people who can play at the 2XXX x 1XXX resolution?
I should still see all the better stuff, right?
Also...if I wanted...would I be able to pick out my own tracks, rename them and replace the files in the SOUND folder? I wanna add in some T2/T3 scores in there.
OMFG!!! To FF: I WANT CM3!!!! ALYX IS ACTUALLY FLAMING HOT (lol)
Hey good news for you Fake. I found a free parallax occlusion shader working with SM2.0 . Now it's your turn to create heightmaps.
Uh, is this mod a rip of, of Smod? The bullet time looks exactly the same. And also, I cant find where you set the bullet time controls, its not in the options control menu.
Just played a little Episode 1...
@ FakeFactory: Sadly the alyx textures is messed up in episode 1... so i lookz like some of the textures might not work with Episode 1. But i don't know if i am the only one experiencing this ?
But as far as i can see other textures work fine where i am now in Episode 1... hope there is a way to fix alyx.
And btw... looking forward to your new pack, any release date yet now that Episode 1 is out ?
Maybe it's caused by that new "heroic lighting"?
Will get it on May 6th. The first reviews seem to be quite positive.
Found out that she now have a plaster or something on her left sholder... so it's the alyx_sheet causing black artifact on her now.
Half way threw now.. and everyone of FF's textures work But there are many new textures in Episode one... I wonder what FF want to focus most on now... Half life 2 or Episode 1 ?
I hope he focuses on all the textures that really would benefit from a rework. There are still some in Half-Life 2. Then Normal-Mapping and Parallax-Mapping for both Episode 1 and Half-Life 2.
1.16Gb is insane. Who actually HAS time to download that file ?
@ Verge, people with a good internet connection...
@ Langenscheiss yeah your right Let's wait for the man and see what he have to say about all this.. btw those pictures you posted looks realy amazing.
Progress-Update:
- Managed to rig a High-Resolution Alyx. Full nude (clothe not done yet), but looks fantastic in-Game with the new Phong-Skin Shader from EP1. See this screen:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: Full nude (again: clothes have to be done)
http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=d1eli0100218zd.jpg
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Still investigating a way to (optional) force the mod into EP1-mode for all the graphical goodies
- Started with HR-work on EP1-only textures.
- Created a EP1 Alyx skin, because the model-mapping differs from HL2
Hehe she lookz fantastic tho i'd rather play her with something on.
All your textures work in EP1 it's only the alex sholder it's wrong with...
But dahm i miss some good music in EP1 wish i could change the music myself, anybody know how to change the game music ?
Anywayz hope to see something new soon FF (tho you must be very busy now) but your fans are VERY VERY hungry now FF!!!
Also hope for SMOD'S bullettime in EP1 (but i'm sure it al will come as time goes by)
I must say when i arrived at the hospital in EP1 my eyes said ths will be amazing when FF enters hehe.
Alyx actually became a sex symbol :-)
Uh.... FAKefactory.. *points to rule #2*
Uhh, Alyx looks ugly, and unnatural. And its been a while since you released something. And im just saying Fakefactory you just brokea rule .
# No Pornographic Material. Any sexually oriented imagery or links to such content will not be tolerated.
Very impressive looking. Do you have a website? I'd like to be able to watch the progress of this as time goes on.
Also, does the weapon balancing effect HL2 DM and CTF? If so, would that mean I would have to find a special server for this mod?
If these are stupid questions, I'm sorry. I'm not familar with mods for Half-Life 2.
@ChipMunk / RenegadeFury
Sorry, i'm german and therefore not scared by nude pictures (in germany you can see naked woman at tv-spots the whole day). If the pic offends someone, a mod should delete the link.
@Zaza999
It doesn't affect your online-play. The gamebalancing changes are HL2-Singleplayer only, like the rest of the mod.
Btw...
Cinematic Mod Pre-Release for Episode1 is currently uploading...
Sweet, no I don't mind, just that there are some young people here.
Cool... hope we see it soon here then are the textures only Episode 1 related ?
@Fake: Does it only include things for Episode 1 or the new features for Half-Life 2, too? Because there must be, at least according to your recent posts, some cool new stuff. Or did you have other things to do then modding (which is actually not a problem)?
And then:
The pictures are not in any way pornographic. Get on your seats again and enjoy the show :-P
Sorry but some of you guys here seem a bit prude to me. What's so freakin' wrong about nudity? But when it comes to blood and death, everything is ok. I don't understand this.
At least i don't see any offence in this pic. (yes i'm german too)
@Langenscheiss
The vanilla HL2 stuff is not included.
1. Valve has to update the sdk first, so HL2 mods can benefit from EP1-engine features. Currently i'm working with a rather crude hack'n mix of HL2 and EP1 engine-files for development.
2. I'm about to rewrite some scene scripts for vanilla HL2 to synchronize the soundtrack with the action on the screen.
could someone tell how i can put this cinematic mod working? Thank you.
I dunno if it's just a stupid rumor but I've heard that Valve is going to update the SDK after EP2 will be released. That won't be too good.
If this is true, i'll find a way. Trust me
Wouldn't it be more resource efficient to model her with clothes and no unseen "nudeness" underneath, rather than model her complete with all bells and whistles and then slap some clothes on her?
I guess you could delete bits of her body that aren't shown afterwards, but i'm guessing the skinning and rigging on those bits would have taken quite a bit of work.
You probably want to make a nude version first, so you can put the clothes right on, and of course he will remove the unseen nudeness.
But this would be some kind of small revolution. The first model with real clothes that can be put on or ...off :-)
@stuckboy
I need a full anatomic model for working with clothes. This gives more possibilities.
And yes, unseen parts are deleted afterwards.
btw: The nude model will be released to Garrys mod community. i guess, these guys will have some fun with it.
Excuse me Fake Factory, i was wondering if you were making a v3 cinematic mod. Could you say whether or not it's true so that this download isn't all for nothing. Cheers.
@sonnyregis
V3 need some time for release. I recommend to download this 2.31 pack.
I will release a update to v3, when its done.
Fake Nuked Them Forever :-) ....Never mind!
Don't worry I'm not scared of that, I just didn't want you to get in trouble again.
Progress report, the wait is killing me!
Absolutely unbelieveably sweet mod, FAKEFACTORY. Un-frickin-believeable.
I just reinstalled HL2 after a year away, installed your Cinematic Mod, started it up and blew a headgasket.
Superb work...just superb. Thanks for all your work!
Alright! Here is the music i recognize from the mod,
We got battlestar galactica, batman begins, Aliens, and.... some other things I haven't figured out yet, lol i was watching aliens last night and the music was suddenly very familiar.
Yeah, i'd really love to know when we can expect the next release.
Get The Model here: (Remember this is not pornographic, so don't point to rule 2)
http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?p=1955441#post1955441
A bit to thin imo.
Start with height and normal mapping please. It does not kill your ram and looks fantastic imo. Look at this: Left side is normal and parallax-mapped, right is the normal texture (envmask wip). I know it does not look perfect but it's mainly the shader.
http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/8110/d1canals0100002yl.jpg
It says that my graphics card should have 256 of card ram. I only have 128, but I have 1.5 gigs of regular ram. It works fine, and only lowers my frame rate by about 2-8 frames per second. Is it supposed to lower you frame rate or keep it normal? I am running it at 1680*1050.
@Mashine
512 MB cards are optimal, because zero texture-memory swapping is needed.
256 MB cards are recommendet for good gameplay without frame-hickups
128 MB cards can handle the mod with good overall framerates, but you will encounter some framerate drops and hickups, when new meshes and textures are loading.
Remember to set you Ingame graphic settings to very high, or you will miss most details of the hires textures.
Dang fakefactory you got flamed bad at facepunch .
Yeah, this is why everything takes so long. FakeFactory doesn't want to release bad stuff so he decided to improve the model. And then he claimed there will be a download within a few minutes but nothing till now. And you know, the facepunch community is mostly terrible tasteless (as well as garry himself) although, frankly, it's quite funny at times.
hehe, I look for new models for gmod every once in awhile at those facepunch forums, and it just amazes me how many jerks there are. But then tweakguides.com has an awesomely nice community . Eh, whatever
I am taken back by the amount of work gone into this. I have to give it to all the guys who have spent there own time making this for us, GOOD ON YOU!. The music is really outstanding! It really draws you into the game. And the textures, WOW! I feel privaliged to be lucky enough to be able to play this mod.
For FF:
It ran fine for me apart from the odd stutter now and again. Im on a 2gig ram machine with 2.2Ghz Daul core and my card is an nVidia(what else) GeForce 6800 with 512Mb of memory. I was playing in 1280*1024 becuase I am using a 19" TFT and that is its max resolution.
Whens cm3, coming? and are you ever going to put Sm 3.0 in them?
does your comp stutter sometimes? that's odd..
my bro has 1 gig of mem, 2.0 ghz and a 250 mb ram card and it doesn't stutter at all. with everything maxed out on 1600x1200
To firewaway, 2.0 ghz is slowing downyour computer and is it AMD? or Pentium? Also 1 gig of ram isn't that much anymore 2 gigs of ram to be future proof and, 256 meg card isnt specific enough.
Does this include the following:
HL2 FFs Addon Hotfix (v3.20) = the Ivy + decals
HL2 FFs Addon Hotfix (v3.21) = texture with better details + exture for better tiling
HL2 FFs Addon Full (v3.2) = - props + - walls and floors + Fast-Zombie skin + etc
Or do I need to add these seperately afterwards or before?
Thanks in advance
YOu make me wait too long...
small teaser pic showing some of the alyx variations with medium polycount (12000 to 16000)
http://img85.imageshack.us/my.php?image=variationsnh6.jpg
Not final, but the pic should give you a sense.
CM3 will come with medium-poly alyx / eli / mossman / kleiner (up to 16000 triangles) and high-poly alyx (30000 triangles) for highend graphic-cards. Not shure about the civilians, because i have to remember the global poly-limit of the source engine.
i can't give a release-date yet, there is just too much to do. Gametests with the current version are visualy breath-taking, believe me. HighPoly models with Highres-Textures in motion are close to Final Fantasy - The movie. But don't think about the mod, unless you got bunch of RAM sticks. HL2 with CM3 needs RAM-spikes of 3 GB for swapping-free gameplay.
@seanvito:
Just get this pack and you are set. it contains all additions.
The picture where she have the sweater on lookz nice indeed she has also changed her form a bit i see hehe.
Thanks for the update, allways nice to see what you are doing.
wow.. then it must look amazing.
and i won't be able to play it, i only got 1 gig.
maybe i should get a job anyways ^^
So you won't be able to play it at all with 1 gig? I can't believe this.
Langenscheiss, you can play with 1 gig, but you will get Ingame-Stuttering on several proceeding-points. The 3 GB are spikes, overall Ram-usage is 1.5 to 1.8 GB.
Over that's good because i plan to upgrade to 2 gig.
Oh that's good because i plan to upgrade to 2 gig.
i guess its time to ask my Dad to ditch the Yahoo DSL and go with Cox, its 20x faster but my 1.5 gigs of ram should be ok
maybe this is so simple I'm just missing it.....this is the first mod I've installed, so bear with me
I've done this:
1. Unzip the archive to your harddisk.
2. Open the unziped archive and copy the "FAKEFACTORY_Cinematic"
and the "fakefactory_cinematic_german"
(inside "1. MOD Directory" folder to your <path to
SteamApps>/SourceMods/
folder and overwrite all previous files..
3. Install the XVID-Codec, if not allready installed (no restart required)
but I'm not given the option to start a game with this mod!!! HELP PLEASE
ha, figured it out, nevermind.
Looks awesome FF
Hey FakeFactory I like the look of your upcoming CM3. Good work so far. I just have one suggestion. Alyx and here poky nipples, they don't look right. Also if you plan to keep that in the final build please allow some option where we can just have a non poky sweater on Alyx. I think it would look better. Just my thoughts.
Lol, why does every picture in the game that includes alyx have her half nude or with her nipples showing/popping out?
It is kinda scary though since those are in her dad's possession
Oh and if the engine really has massive problems with swapping-operations, only 1 gig could be a reason for all the crashes I experience. Good to know i'll get 2 gig soon.
1 gig should be fine for these hi res, they just arn't optimized, though I handle it well with my uber rig
3.6 ghz Pentium 4 extremely overclockable
2 gigs of ram ddr2, 250 frequency
x1900xtx 512 vram
p5ad2 asus premium motherboard
Audigy 2 zs
Though my system handles this well, the source engine doesnt
so is cm3 allmost ready? i hope so.
Would also like to know how it goes... Will we see something soon FF ?
@seanvito:
I'm a old pervert
@RenegadeFury:
Nice rig. Should handle the next release very well.
@All:
Still working on CM3 with focus on recompiling some maps with added props/characters and refining some models.
I think i will release CM3 together with some kind of "Alyx-Construction Kit Deluxe" with all Alyx-models, so you guys can pick your favourite style.
CM 3.0 will handle 4 different Alyx styles for the 4 stages in the game (Intro-Alyx, Eli-Lab-Alyx, Novaprospect-Alyx and Citadel-Alyx).
Possible Release: 1-2 month
Your mod turns out to be a substance recreation. Very nice!
Will CM3.0 come with downsized textures just like the EP1-Version does? Because hl2 uses another engine build.
Btw Valve will release an updated SDK with the new engine build. That means EP1-non-override-version and CM3.0 with Phong-Shading.
Nice Info there Langenscheiss.. any words on when that will be ?
Sitting here and i'm very angry at the moment i'm trying 2 make some concrete floors that FF haven't done but now i understand why you didn't do them.
No matter how high resolution i make them, they still continue being unsharp and the same.
I copy the original texture 4 times in a 1024x1024 window in photoshop...
A request if you haven't tryed to do these concrete floor i would be very happy if you would try... because those floors are used so much in the game.
concretefloor038a
concretefloor038b
concretefloor039a
And finaly
concretefloor037a
concretefloor038b (Those 2 are the road textures when driving the buggy, i remember you did them once, but you said they was in beta state. (but they look more unsharp than the originals)
Hope you take those textures as a challence FF because i have tryed everything with them and they still look ugly no matter what i do with them.
You must scale the texture in the vmt. The sdk update is supposed to come at the end of this week.
what is SDK and what does it do?
Software Development Kit - the base for modders. Without an SDK it would almost be impossible to release good mods except some script changes (mainly open files that are not decrypted). For example the hammer is part of the sdk. Then if you like to start a stand alone project based on the source engine (Black Mesa Source) you can start with some resource files that are included in the sdk.
Finally i did it.. thanks to you Langenscheiss
But it was not as simple as texscale, also another code was important to make the scale work.
My 2048x2048 high resolution road >>>
www-http://home.no/basemix/road1.jpg
http://www.http://home.no/basemix/road2.jpg
So no need FF for making them.. i also did the other textures i wrote
Corected links to the high resolution road i made
http://www.home.no/basemix/road1.jpg
http://www.home.no/basemix/road2.jpg
What code was important?
This one
"Proxies"
{
"TextureTransform"
{
"translateVar" "$baseTextureOffset"
"scaleVar" "$texscale"
"resultVar" "$baseTextureTransform"
}
"TextureTransform"
{
"translateVar" "$baseTextureOffset"
"scaleVar" "$texscale"
"resultVar" "$bumptransform"
}
}
}
yep, those proxies can be found in many of fakefactory's files.
I must say, those are some nice roads there DjBase
SDK Update has been released!
Error, Im getting an error message, when tryingto launch sdk with the newest update, something about missing some german.txt file.
The new sdk has some serious problems. model compiling is restricted to 32K faces... uhm... no more hires models...
That's not good
You should write an email to Valve. At first they shoud fix swapping-problems. Then they should resolve this problem.
Btw: I own 2 gig now and there's still a crash in the hospital, sometimes even with that c++-error. (EP1-version)
Hi FF i d/l and installed ur mod earlier today and i'm having some problems...i was expecting to see hi-res textures like the ones in the screenshots u posted but for some strange reason the only hi-res textures i see are on the character models and tree bark! All the other textures are the same as in the original HL2!
Any suggestions? Cheers
Hello FF,
I loved both of your'e Cinematic mods, Hl2 & Hl2:ep1. will there be a full HL2: EP1 Fakefactory & Oggs Cinematic mod, there's only a Pre-Release Version with just a bunch of texture fixes. in your Ep1 release alyxs neck seems like it has a scar, also can you give A way that gives you choice if you want the Alyx from Hl2 FF's 1.04 or either 2.32.
Personally I'd like to get the 1.04 Alyx in EP1, I've tried to get ALyx 1.04 in Ep1 but alas No go
So if I asked too much.
Cheers
*Sorry if I asked too much*
Sry bout Double post.
As of now, well Im just quoting what fakefactory said, that hi res doesnt work because... Valve messsed up sdk restricting it to 32k faces, which doesn't let him have hi res anymore, so... well go blame valve. This message was intended to manivdhir
Just found a way to workaround the 32K limit (older mdlcompiler exe -- thankgod i'm a backup-pervert).
So back to work. Some new teaser screens will follow soon.
btw.: the non-override version 1.0 of Cinematic:EP1 should be ready early next week.
Great news, happy to hear your back
when will you show some pics? you said they would follow soon
i just can't wait to see something from it.
Hehe 16FireAway16... So i guees i'm not the only one here too who have visited hl2files 4-6 times a day to see if FF posted some teaser shots
hehe you gueessed correct
Here are some teasers... showing some of the (more sexy) possible variations with the "Alyx Construction Kit", that will ship with CM3.
All models are medium-poly, no bumpmaps (not done yet)

WUUAAV, that's something big there you have going.
I like all the models, especialy the original model (it looks much more deltailed)
1 question: Is it mainly Alyx you doing for Cinematic 3.0 ? Will there also be some new wall/floor textures ?
There will be a new sound scripting as far as i remember.
The arms look strange but other than that they are really hot (maybe a bit more flesh).
The original one is really well-done.
You could also improve the fingers' curves.
Some new textures (especially the lab-tilefloors you can see in the screenshots) please, if possible.
8/10
Wow, my favorate is the last 1. Also I noticed you fixed Alyx's low poly hands.
she is so freakin skinny.. i mean.. it looks abnormal. where does she have her organs? maybe make here a bit less skinny.. cause this doesn't look human
Yes, this was already mentioned at facepunch (but in a more aggressive manner).
That's what i meant when i was talking about more flesh.
Some of the possible Action-Outfits...

Fakefactory I have an idea, Why dont you make a Alyx with a mk5 H.E.V-suit but pink instead of orange & fit her height. It would look cool on her.
Also can you make an option to have alyx's "old" valve hair (Black hair with Red streaks by the hair line, & some shade's of purple on the side) but with Alyx's Hi-res face & body.
Sorry about Double posts.
cheers
To be honest these new shots proof once again that she's definitely too skinny. I like her clothes very much. They're making her quite sexy. But especially her arms are too thin.
when i look at her i think i see an old women who has had liposuction..
why does she have to have naked legs.. why would she run around in those clothes when there is a war going on and stuff.. i don't think it fits half life 2
@16FireAway16
Therefore the Alyx "Construction" Kit. You can choose your style (even the original Valve model).
The new alyx gun:

http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=d2prison080028xx4.jpg
And please... no word about the unnatural wrist bending. Valve's bone system doesn't allow this. Maybe this is the reason, why the VALVE-Alyx took gloves all the time.
Can you make her wear, some army clothers? or something this is just plain stupid no offense? why would she have naked legs, just to get shot on? please change it it is very dumb, also she is skinny, but I don't have much of a problem
Wow! I also think some camo or maybe a full skin tight suit. Although those outfits would be perfect for gmod, but not very fitting for HL2.
Hello,
How about giving Alyx a H.E.V-Suit like Gordon's, but rather than have Orange give it a pink instead, also make it so that it fits her body shape & size.
How about that for an idea for a Alyx Combat outfit?
Maybe you give her a little wristband. That should hide the zone. But i can't believe that Valve's System does not allow to make her a bit thicker (at least the arms since her back and her legs look nice already).
I know it must get on your nerves by now but it's really the only negative aspect of your model.
But the weapon is really nice. Has it been done completely by you?
The arms are not the problem. The current models are thicker. But the wrist-bending gives me some headache. It looks unnatural with armed pistol. Maybe i give the Action-variants some gloves.
@Langenscheiss:
No, the weapon is not by me, just converted from a free model and retextured. Currently i'm awaiting the permission from the original author.
Holy shizer, 1.16 GB? I'd go straight for this if it wouldn't take a week to download.
I always thought modelling a person is much more difficult than modelling a weapon. Therefore i thought it has been done by you since you model persons.
Small update...

Hope, the arms are better.
@RenegadeFury:
Full body armor
@Langenscheiss:
The Body-Model is based on the original valve-alyx topology - just heavy remodelled, subdivided, refined and smoothed. Her legs are really valves alyx-jeans
Nice work fakefactory! much beter
The arms look much more realistic now I can't wait anymore lol
One part in me says that model is great you should not critisize it negatively all the time. But the other part in me says she must be good at stealing things since her arms hands and fingers seem a bit too long (compare them with barney's). The screenshots might create a wrong impression but this is something i always thought when looking at the arms.
What about EP1-Non-Override?
@Langenscheiss:
Her body proportions are exactly fitting valves bones system. I cannot scale her arms without messing up the ingame-animations.
btw.: critism is allway welcome. its the only way to see my work with different eyes.
Wow! Those new screenies look amazing! That is just too cool!
Hey guys! That's nice!
I played nearly successfuly this mod, but the "Our Benefactors" chapter is unplayable in x64 mode.
When i copy the mod into the 'SourceMods' folder, then everything ok, but the game running in x86 mode; mat_forcebloom command is unavailable in console and I need this.
So i copied the content of this folder to 'my usernamehalf-life 2hl2', and it seems to be ok, the game now running in x64.
It is wonderful until the 14. chapter. There when i hit a soldier with an energy core, then the game crash.
In previously chapters, when i shooted a soldier with an energy core, then this problem is not exist. I dont know, WTF is this....
So can you make anything? Or play it in x86 mode henceforward.
I believe it would take too much time to test the mod in x64-mode because you need a new OS and have to reinstall everything. But maybe FakeFactory has a system that runs windows x64. Otherwise i don't see much of a chance that the x64 bug will be fixed.
WHEN can we expect the Ep1-Non-Override-version and will there be any changes to the override-version (maybe phong-lighting).
Btw: Have you already thought about the release of CM3.0 ? At the moment it seems like Filefront doesn't allow us to upload very big files.
@x64 gaming
I never was able to play HL2 in 64bit mode. it crashes my comp after view seconds, with or without mod. the 64bit engine has some serious flaws, i guess.
@langenscheiss
Mail with EP1-Non override version was sent to hl2files staff last friday.
Yes this kinda proofs it. Try to find another place. They don't seem to upload anymore of your files. I remember reading one older post of yours saying that you have uploaded the override-version 1.0 quite a while ago. Where are all those files? Haven't you got any explanation from the filefront crew yet?
Hmm so i guees we don't see any of FF's work here in the future Then i hope you find another way to spread your work.
Fakefactory you should get a HL2 Files domain. They give them out to modders, skinners, mappers etc. Then you can customize it and add all your files. I can't wait for the release of the EP1 pack!
@Hunter1942
Files > 400 GB must be hosted directly at HL2Files.com. Therefore a subdomain doesn't fix the problem
You mean 400MB.
why don't you use Rapidshare or something like that.
Or if the file is huge then split it & put it in parts of 3 just like Forgotten Hope does.
Rapidshare?! It's not a good idea. Try gamershell.com or filefactory.com!
Oh... I guess gamershell.com or something will work. Hopefully you can figure something out.:
Well worth the huge download ! At first when I started the mod I thought "well that's not so different" before I realized how much more detailed the game has become. The mod is so well done that you'll wonder how the game could ever have look less good !
Special mention for the incredible work on normal maps (I was blown away by Dr. Steiner's lab coat) ! And to the now almost lifelike characters !
This mod should be made official by Valve, no kidding !
The mod (future updates) should be released at first before Valve declares it as official. I'm gettin tired of waiting around here. That mainly refers to the ep1-version but what about cm3.0 when it's ready to be released? I think FakeFactory, as the others already said, you may consider another place to upload the file. Since the pack contains many files you can split the mod into several parts. This way you should be able to release it elsewhere.
Good idea Langenscheiss... let's start with the alex kit, if it's ready that is hehe
Yeah, I think you should release the episode 1 pack somewhere else. We're all a little tired of waiting.
Man, I want that episode 1 pack! Also will you be making a cunstruction kit for people you fight along sides? Like rebels and barney? I remember n00bus made an elite metrocop, would be cool if you added the helmet and clothing to him, or alyx, with a metrocop outfit and possibly helmet.
WTF is take so long? I cant wait anymore! I wanna play Episode One again, but i'm waiting for the new CM.
Try bittorrent, rapidshare or any. But quickly!
I have made a hi-res zombine skin with some nice normal maps. I have also made a normal map pack, custom, I am testing it right now.
Main thing is you release this pack. It's getting ridicolous because new files appear on this site almost everyday but FAKEFACTORY'S are not among these files.
Yeah I know, I keep checking evreryfay hoping there will be fakfactories pack or something of fake's.
Same here....check everyday numerous times but nothing! Fake - don't want to be a pain 'cos really appreciate what you do/have done, but please let us know if you upload anywhere else.......thanks.
please let us know if you will upload it somewhere
well somebody deleted my post about fakefactory's stuff in thghost's "If you want to contact THGhost" news item, so you'd think they would be aware of it...
The staff (skyrider) said they have never received any file from FakeFactory.
Ahhhh, this is driving me nuts!
Why not respoding Fakefactory? Maybe tell a lie about the CM3.0?!
I'm currently quite busy with the CM3.0 Hires-models. if one of you guys knows a alternate hoster for CM:EP1 ... feel free to let me know.
Looking very nice FAKEFACTORY. Any estimated release date?
I say, try Rapidshare.de or Megaupload.com!!!
Ok, trying to upload it to rapidshare! (Thank God they already allow 300MB per file)
Maybe there's a link tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Thank goodness!
FAKEFACTORY or Langenscheiss:
whats new since version
Cinematic Mod for Half-Life 2: Episode One
V 1.0 FULL
Initial-Release / Override-Version
realased some times ago, and for some reasons not available here (?)
HL2STAFF_CM_EP1_v1_Full was 582 mb
http://rapidshare.de/files/31591080/CMEP1_Part1_.zip
You can play it with this package. The other one follows up.
@ Langenscheiss
Is this the same pack i gave you over messenger or is this one newer ?
Langenschiess, is that part of it? Or just this same one we have?
http://rapidshare.de/files/31629124/CMEP1_Part2_.zip
Ok that's Part 2 of Version 1.0.
Sweet! Hooray for chopping up packs into parts!
@ Langenscheiss
is this the same pack that i have 1.0 realassed few months ago ?
ok a download it, but it is the same version of CM EP1 that was realased few month ago, nothing new since that time ??
thanks! downloading it....
It is the not the PreRelease. Quite a while ago FakeFactory gave us a link to the CM EP1 Version 1.0 FULL Mod (override). The file never appeared on Filefront and many people couldn't download so here it is.
@djcasey: I dunno what's new. I just know that CMEP1-V1.0 Full never appeared on Filefront. Many people couldn't download and i want to give them a chance to enjoy EP1.
@FakeFactory: Couldn't you do the same? It took me just one evening to upload almost 600MB. This way we can finally get the non-override version.
the link to that version was here but few hour later his gone, but sure who dosnt have it yet have the chance right now, i'll wait for next version and for CM3
i'm not realy intrested in the ep1 version of cinematic, i think the skins in ep1 look good eanoth allready.
how the hell do you get this thing to work, the directions are so damn bland. Ive extracted those 2 folders to the sourcemods folder, done the xvid thing and restarted steam. NOTHING shows up at all for 3rd party games, in either hl2 or steam. i have no idea how you people figured this out. All that shows up on half life 2 is the new game and 'more' button.
go to your sourcemods map, there will be a cinematic folder, open it, this mod should be in there with some extra maps and files that you can use
Yeah! At last!
I'll upload my hi-res zombine when they fix the upload page. I used zeemlapje's skin and did some editing and a layer and zeem's normal map.
Dude it still aint working, besides the odd fact that theres now some new steamapps folder in my C drive folder, doesnt make any sense. Seriously why would a mod do that. Well theres no damn option for third paty game ANYWHERE man.
Is this some stupid update that requires previous files despite the fact that it still says full.
man.. use your head for a diffrence.
open the steamapps mod in your C drive, look into it, maybe you will find a mod?
maybe smart to look into it?? think about it.. maybe you unrared it in the wrong place, in that cause it's your own fault.
The only damn thing thats clickable that autoruns is a bsp file called D4_17_3 or w/e and all it does is start regular half life 2.
CM3 is final... well, almost. I'm currently preparing a Betaversion archive for uploading. Hope, i can find a filehoster. The archive is a monster.
Some random pics...

Yeah, that's the friggin problem. Filefront staff always claims they don't get any new files from you.
Damn FakeFactory that is nice! Exactly how big is the file? I mean I have like 20gigs left on my harddrive sooo....
Also I laughed real hard when I saw the 'bath time' Alyx, that will be one aweosome construction kit. I'll take the future wear though, makes it look state of the art and *****. Also what happened to poor eli? Can't wait for you to release it!
just a noob question, would there be any sort of way to use FF skins in DOD source and CS source like tiles and walls and stuff, could you just copy "Materials"? would that work?
o and amazing job on the skins FF
Whats on the back of the rebels rocket launcher? Is it a tree from the backround?
Hey could release the readme already? Just to see what we can expect.
Tell me how to run the mod fakefactory
her boobs are very low... or she has very odd boobs.. or... no she just has very odd boobs, normaly boobs are mutch higher.
but that's probably how valve made alyx and they never expected that anyone would make the skins like you do fakefactory.
i have a suggestion for cm 3.0 final, make high-res bullet holes!!
cause they don't look good, and they allways look the same.
That's not possible. You must be a coder to change this.
Coder to change decals?! No way I could replace a bullet decal with the skin of a cone.
Also, this will be nice, these also aren't skins, they are models with skins. More importantly, high poly models with 2048x2048 textures.
you can't just change the model? i mean ... alyx is a model right? and she has hitboxes.. in her boobs also? it's probably not very hard.. must be some coder around who can do that
Fakefactory you should make a thread on the HL2 filefront fourms for this. would be mush easyer to read.
@Heckler. Of course you can but probably not hires. You ever noticed that decals can overlay correctly. This is a special system in source which is also responsible for the fact that there's always the same decal for one kind of material. With some coding you can refine this system i believe.
Of course. You can do hires decals, but then they won't overlay correctly anymore.
Tell me if i am wrong but I'm quite sure this is right.
Well not true, there is a text which you can edit to make it so you can have your own decals for certain things. like I made it so there is a plastic decal and a cement decal, and a metal decal and a hard metal decal.
yes you can edit the vmts but that has nothing to do with hires.
Well then you just edit the scale of the decal in the .vmt's(each one has 2).
You can use Hires Decals, but during a heavy firefight your framerate will drop to bottom.
It will, well SMOD uses a lot of decals, I mean sometimes it will be black and bright yellow from blood and alien blood.
Still waiting...and waiting...and waiting...and waiting...and waiting. Kinda sad now because it seems like all the work is for nothing excep for your own pleasure, Fake.
Well no seems like I will get it but it will take up my hardrive. Put it into packs, like materials folder, models folder, bin cfg resource folders.
I might not understand why Filefront is never getting any of Fake's uploads (Which sounds very strange to me), but he could try another file site like Fileplanet or Fileshack. I mean, sure the lines would be damn annoying, but still, Isn't it worth it to have your mod able to be downloaded?
Why should i develop a mod, when it never hits the public? Langenscheiss and WaradMohar are absolutely right on this.
Give me some days to set up a website with all the files. I'm currently in discussion with my ISP, because of the awaited traffic volume. (he wants to rip me off, i'm afraid)
##~~ Honestly FakeFactory, I've had to edit some pretty shocking comments in the time that I've worked here. But I never expected me having to edit a comment posted by you that was flaming FileFront! Your innapropriate remark has been removed and I've left all the appropriate content intact. - THGhost ~~##
Oh.. So that is what it is all about... you have to many downloaders hehe
I guees filefront is tired of your mod is so popular, well i hope you work something out we are all getting very unpatient here (but not your fault i know)
we shoudla ll email the FF Admins at once.
Fakefactory this is amazing. i cant wait till next 1 is done. oh and does this have all the high res skins 2
@THGhost
Ok, thats your job. Thanks for keeping the context intact.
Btw.: Have you an idea whats up with the filehosting? Or is this some strange Garry-Conspiracy, because i flamed him some month ago?
I'm completely on FAKEFACTORY'S side i must admit and it's surely not because i'm a German as well. The problem that his files don't appear on this site anymore does not just exists since yesterday. There have been many comments not just by me complaining about this and all the people including me, as far as i can rememer, tried to express their anger in an appropriate way. But sometimes it's just too much and i can fully understand that the result is flaming. To be correct, this isn't real flaming. Flaming means exaggerated critisizing without any good reason. But FAKE had all reasons i must admit.
I know this site is to be taken as a service, not a right but do you all really think that you
become more popular by avoiding to offer files which are definitey wanted by a huge part of the community? Ok, rules must be followed by i don't see any rule that forbids to upload any of FAKE's new files. It's not illegal and it's not pornographic.
I can't quite believe that you have never got any of the new files. And to be honest and directly, if flaming reminds you of these things, for god's sake, flame!
@ Langenscheiss i fully agree on that!!
If this is some kind of vendetta against FAKEFACTORY please solve this issue there might be, because this is also hurting us fans of this mod and this site.
And the way i see it, FAKEFACKTORY'S mod is the most popular mod here. There is no reason doing it like this.
If FF'S mod is banned here, someone let us know!
At least the download-counter is quite high.
Yes, this is hurting the fans, we can't even download our favorite mods anymore. This really needs to be resolved.
What kinda upload website doesn't allow more hits on their website for a legal, fun, file. It would make their website better, but that isn't the point, the point is that it sucks, and we demand our files and happyiess.
Yeah! All in favor, say I!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are exclamation points, oh and, "I'd!"
Tired of waiting... any news on any front ?
i'm tired of waiting too, and it's probably filefront to blame.
Yes... The worst thing is, that we don't hear anything from this site or the filefront crew.
But i'm afraid that this is going no-where... either FF find another place to host he's mod or it's over.. Because it seems like no moderator wants too tell us what's going on.
Yeah, what i find most annoying is that we don't hear anything.
Mabey he is busy making a website, and making it cool.
FakeFactory has indeed been contacted by myself days ago, yet I have received no reply with his problems/issues so far. I still await further information.
-azzkiker@filefront.com
his problem/issue is very simple, he's files don't appear on this site.
@azzkiker
Please re-send the mail. Seems, it was dropped by our spam-filter for some strange reasons
I'm still investigating alternative filehosters. Meanwhile i'm using the time to include RIM/PHONG Shaders into CM3. Looks really nice. See for yourself:

Wow, that's looking really awesome. I mean, more Hi-Res textures, better light effects, a fully dynamic Music System, now Phong Shaders? CM3 is going to blow the last release, heck maybe all the other HL2 SP mods straight out of the water.
I can't wait for this. Hope you find a good site, or if possible, find out how to fix this Filefront problem, so we can have a smooth release, from the sound of it, this thing is going to be HUGE!
Wow did you remodel the metropolice uniform or are thos just better normal maps? The uniform actually look 3d!
If i host a torrent for the full version or CM EP1 Version 1.0 FULL Mod (override) will you guys use it? I have about 2,000KB/s sustained upload so it definately won't be slow.
I like the phong alot, but you should put the metropolice style jacket normals on the rebels vest, because they are the same, also the phong on the metropolice uniform looks wet, kinda the same on barneys face.
Well, if anyone wants to use it i have the full version of the CM EP1 Version 1.0 FULL Mod (override). This should be alot faster than using rapidshare.
http://64.106.91.115:6969/torrents/CMEP1+Full.rar.torrent?9A9341A505FABA2B63987ED0CEE8188C905A3A4D
Awesome! Phong-Shading and Rim-Lighting is not very performance intensive but adds a lot to the atmosphere and the overall visual impression. Anyway there are still about 20 textures which could really be improved (e.g.: floor you see in the last screenshot, the other tilefloors (hires tiles next to low-res files in nova propspect look really odd to be honest) and one mud-texture) All in all the visuals and the music is very good and i can't imagine a HL2 without your cinematic mod anymore but the examples i mentioned really stick out and that makes the package look a bit incomplete.
Looking good. Any release date?
If you can make some parallaxed props I would be happy!
HecklerStev Not everyone can use paralax mapping one model, exspecialy people with ATi cards, My ATi card can use Para textures on walls and stuff but if its on a model it crashed my game.
Well, then mabey do some textures, there are some combine textures that would look better parallaxed then normalled,, mabey like the cracks in the road textures too.
Why does everyone miss spell Maybe? Yeah that sounds cool to, but what about thos people that can't run even normal Paralax mapping? Maybe as a seperate pack there could be Para mapping.
Actually garfields parallax shader works for ATI cards, even on models. You just have to edit the vmt-files. And parallax-mapping in source engine is very difficult because many walls are auto-smoothed which results in vector-sharing. The effect is that there are many texture errors. Just inform you a bit about parallax-occlusion shaders (if you haven't already) and you'll understand this.
Awwwwwww, please release this soon! It looks sooooooo good!
I'm currently in contact with azzkiker. He ashured, that CM3 will show up on filefront immediatly. The archive will be uploaded today.
1.5 GB filesize.
That's good news. Finallllllly!
Wowzers....
Now I'm going to have to check the site every hour to see if it's here.
Weeeeeeeeee YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
1.5 GB? Maybe would could like do a split up pack? like one pack with the construction kit, on pack with wall and ground textures and like 1 pack with model textures.
I have garfield's Paralax mod but models still don't work with me I have the latest version of DirectX and the lastest version of the para mod.
Just read the thread. I've posted some rules how to make parallax working on models. Start from the end of the thread. This way it won't take too much time to find the post.
your talking about the thread on hl2world right?
