1. Enhancements since Version 2.x
2. Enhancements since Version 3.x
3. Installation
3.1 What *exactly* will Setup.exe do?
4. Alyx Contruction Kit
5. TECHNICAL

2. Enhancements since Version 3.x:
- Setup.exe for automated installation
- Worked around some textures because of budget-limits in the Source-Engine
- New models, more variations, VALVE-Hires-Replica
- Heavily reworked scripts/scenes for fully dynamic soundtracks
- New textures, most of the old textures reworked
- Minor tweaks
- Alx Construction Kit RC with automated model install for both HL2 and EP1
- One Package for Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2:Episode One
Close STEAM
Start setup.exe
After installation has finished restart STEAM
3.1 What *exactly* will Setup.exe do?
- Setup.exe reads the current Sourcemod folder path from your registry
- Setup.exe installs MOD to the right folder (HL2 and EP1 version)
- Setup.exe install a shortcut to the new Alyx Construction Kit
and sets a registry entry (HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREFILEMAKER)
- The Uninstaller will remove the entire Cinematic Mod and the
Alyx Construction Kit registry entry.
The ACK is a Release Candidate, that will help you in select and
install
the various Alyx variations (other characters in future).
Start the
Alyx Construction Kit.exe and choose your prefered model. You can
browse and
install the models with just a buttonpress inside the ACK for both HL2
and EP1.
As of version 3 the Cinematic Mod uses Base Source Engine 2.
This leads to numerous advantages, like higher possible global
polycount (for
more Highpoly models in future versions) or faster overall-performance.
But the
new engine has some minor disadvantages:
1. First of all you have to start a new game or new chapter, because
the BSP
-Files (Maps) are different.
2. The new engine isn't fully backward compatible with HL2's original
content. I
had to remove two Razortrains from two maps for compatibility with
the new
engine. (It doesn't affect gameplay). The trains would cause the engine
to kick
in some kind of super-stutterbug with final crash, so i had to
erase this
two suckers.
3. The Base Source Engine 2 cannot access non-shared CFG's,
like HL2's
foreign language CFG files. Therefore the audio-language is allways
english,
only the onscreen-language is correctly translated. Most of you
are using
english audio anyway, but all other users can fix this for themself:
Extract
the content of "Half-Life 2_xxx.cfg" (xxx = german or french
etc..) with
CFGScape (included) and copy the extracted content to the mods
language
- folder.
Example:
Extract the "sound" folder from "Half-Life 2_german.cfg"
Copy the "sound" folder and all enclosed files to
<PATH TO YOUR
STEAM-INSTALLATION>/SteamApps/SourceMods/FAKEFACTORY_Cinematic_German
A: My internal buildnumbering was reaching V3.9 anyway, so i decided
to use the next "round" number,
hoping this will encourage some users to download this version asap.
-----------------
Q: Steam is downloading some strange stuff, named "Source SDK Base"
A: Yes, its required for the mod. The Source SDK Base is basically a
full blown EP1 engine for
MODS and will be updated by Valve with the latest features and
enhancements.
-----------------
Q: The game crashes (mostly on level swapping or at entering the
hospital) with error in datacache.dll
A: First of all: Don't use the command -heapsize XXXX. The -heapsize
command was okay in older
versions of the source engine for curing ingame-stuttering, but with
the current engine versions
this command is EVIL. Repeat: E-V-I-L. Don't use it. Lets source
engine handle the size of memory buffers.
Secondly: Source engine doesn't like low-memory-environments. You
will get serious trouble with
less then 2 GB main memory and/or less then 256 MB VRAM, because the
Cinematic Mod comes with *a lot* of
texture data to handle with.
Finaly: Cinematic Mod does NOT change any code. Its
textures/materials/sounds only. So please don't blame
the mod for problems with certain hardware/software-combinations. If
vanila HL2 gives you zero trouble, you
should be fine. But if vanila HL2 crashes a lot with your computer,
then Cinematic Mod will be crashing too.
-----------------
Q: After playing the intro, i get laggy or missing mouse
functionality ingame and/or the
game-performance drops to bottom.
A: Check for FFDSHOW and disable it completely (reboot required)
-----------------
Q: The intro just gives me a blank screen or a striped error-screen
A: Install the Windows Media Codec V9 (www.microsoft.com) or Windows
Media Player 10+
-----------------
Q: The game stutters with my ATI Radeon 9600 (or something like this)
A: Get a DX9 graphics card with 512 MB VRAM or above. Don't expect
the mod to run smoothly
with outdated DX8 cards or less than 512 MB Videoram.
-----------------
Q: I'm using a newer NVIDIA Geforce (7K or 8K class) and the
Phong-Shading seems to be incorrect or much too high
A: Blame NVIDIA for there crappy drivers.
-----------------
Q: I'm playing with 640 x 480 resolution and can't see much
difference to the original game
A: Play at 1280 x 1024 minimum. Optimal resolution for the mod is
1600 x 1200 or above.
-----------------
Q: What are the minimum requirements for the mod?
A: WinNT/Windows 2000 with pentium 4 class processor, 1024 MB RAM,
DX8 videocard with 256 MB vram
-----------------
Q: What are the recommended requirements for the mod?
A: Windows XP/2003/Vista with dualcore processor, 2048 MB RAM, DX9
videocard with 512 MB vram
-----------------
Q: The Alyx Construction Kit installs no models
A: Make shure you have started the ACK with its shortcut (working
directory must be correct).
DON'T MOVE THE ACK FOLDER. It needs the directory-structure, that
was created with the installer,
because it uses relative pathes.
-----------------
Q: Why are some Alyx models semi-nude?
A: Why not? If you don't like them, don't use them. If you are
afraid of semi-nude girls, you really
should get a life or ask your parents about the differences between
men and women.
-----------------
Q: Why are there no full nude Alyx models?
A: They wouldn't fit anywhere in the game. The full nude model will
be released to the GMOD community as a separate archive.
-----------------
Q: Will you release other characters as hires models, like Barney or
Mossman?
A: Most likely
-----------------
Q: The EP1 version of the mod gives me some errors about missing
repositories or crashes right after start
A: You have to purchase Half-Life 2:Episode One for playing the EP1
version of this mod.
All soundfiles are from free soundtrack-teasers, re-arranged and
remixed.
If you encounter a copyrighted song, please contact me for removing the
file.
The new models are inspired by the uzilite Poser-Models and
constructed
after screenshots found in the DAZ3D library and cgsociety.org gallery.

"Size: -850333632 bytes"
LOL! Score, FF. You ruined HL2File's entire upload system.
Another top quality release, man, but unfortunately my PC can no longer run this mod. It's truly taken the realm of "Hardcore High Detail" and dwarfed it. Congratulations on a mammoth achievement, man
#6 - PLEASE make a Counter-Strike: Source Cinematic Mod - Posted by: bassman61588 (Member) on 03-30-2007 at 20:56
I have much respect for all the work you have put into this mod. But please man, do somthing for the Counter Strike Source community! I can only imagine how awesome that would be. There have only been minor hi res mods for CSS.

#19 - Possible problems to download Lastest and GREAT V4 Mod - Posted by: nimrod75 (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 08:56
Hello to all, my friends,
Alas, sorry to bother you all with such question but even with my HI-Speed connection and because i live in old Europe, the downloading time is around 8-10 hours !!!
No torrent or other download server ?
Thank you for your kind response !
#20 - Posted by: Junior_Barnes (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 09:03
Looks fantastic as usual FF, but I'm gonna have to agree with Nimrod. A torrent would REALLY help this out.
#21 - Download, did u say download ??? yeah but...how ? - Posted by: nimrod75 (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 09:15
Amen to that, Junior,
As i might add, i would not stand NOT to download this latest release !!
I can easily remember the "schock" i had when i used for the first time the V 3.05 mod !!
As we say in France "le jour et la nuit" (day and night) !!!!
Keep up the good work !!!
#22 - Posted by: DSds (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 09:46
this must be popular my bandwidth has gone like this:
first down load (corrupt) 500KBS
to 150KBS the second time round now at -140% ?
#23 - where is the Music - Posted by: White_hell (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 10:00
hay i just played though half life 2 episode 2 with this mod
and there is no music.... no music at all
i checked the settings and the music volume is at 100%
so if all the other sound things
WHERE IS THE MUSIC.... i cant play without any music
#24 - ALSO - Posted by: White_hell (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 10:04
im getting a lot low textured models in the game.... all settings are Maxed and running it at 1280x1024.
the old Cinematic mod didnt have this. Many of the low textured models i saw in the game where hi-res
This is the same for HL2 and EP1
#25 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 10:34
Man, I don't experience those crashes anymore (at least for now). Great job. CM4.0 is really worth the huge download.
#26 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 10:52
@White_hell:
i have the feeling, the installation went wrong (wrong dir?) is the cinematic mod listet with versiontag 4 in your steam window?
Please send a complete Directory listing of your Sourcemods folder to info@madservice.de
Use DIR >listing.txt at commandline. (greater than character [>] redirects the output the a textfile)

Oh wait that's 3.21 Gigs!
it's gonna take me forever to download this.
#30 - ALYX - Posted by: mxmightymc (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 12:45
what happen to the model of alyx that was in the preview for 3.06 I don't see it anywhere in this release!?!?
#31 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 13:09
I've made some screenshots which maybe tell you where you can get your blessed hands on once again. Just some low-res textures remaining.
For all of you who want every water-material to be refractive and reflective (except the rising one of course because the shader doesn't support this), you can download this ( maybe you, Fake, can include this into your next version):
At last, the Cargo-Container texture looks great, but the the normal-map looks fake (hoho what a joke, but you probably know what i mean). You should rework it, otherwise, i can give you one (i made one as well).
Keep up the good work. CM4.0 is by far the best release you ever made.
#32 - Posted by: drsjohnny (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 13:11
still giving me problams when i try and get this whenever i try and download it it loads up the file and quicks it and i have the file but 0 megs on it

I'm not sure what the problem is.
If it is still like this, try another Explorer, like Mozilla FireFox.

you are one multi-talented SOB! i can't imagine how long this must have taken. amazing work as usual!
...don't be dissin' nvidia though.
248/10
#38 - i reinstalled it.... - Posted by: White_hell (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 16:15

it is also showning on the Game list.

#39 - kewl - Posted by: kickass331 (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 18:11
pretty big but only took about 6 hours man it was friggen slow
#40 - Question - Posted by: mrbean1112 (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 19:38
Hey.. Is there ANY way possible to change it to play with all the default half life 2 guys.. (IE No alternate costumes for black mesa east rebels, Alyx, Eli, etc)
But use the high res versions of those?? or am i outta luck? =
#41 - RATS in as good way - Posted by: xfinrodx (Member) on 03-31-2007 at 23:35
Now I'm gonna hafta play hl2 all the way through again just for the eye candy at 1600x1200 and all that. It was flippin sweet the valve way. I just want to see the FF way!
#42 - #35, Suggs - Posted by: HornyToad (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 01:00
#35, Suggs : i hear ya, but if the game played fine before the new drivers, then its the drivers themselves, not the mod. Like FF said and i quote:
"Finaly: Cinematic Mod does NOT change any code. Its textures/materials/sounds only. So please don't blame the mod for problems with certain hardware/software-combinations. If vanila HL2 gives you zero trouble, you should be fine. But if vanila HL2 crashes a lot with your computer, then Cinematic Mod will be crashing too."
Solution: Dont do both update and install this mod at the same time. its confuzling you wich is at fault
Try update and play some hl2 for a couple hours to see if everything runs fine, then install this.
#43 - Posted by: Beastmonkey (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 01:11
The alyx construction kit will not change my model no matter what I do. Anyone know whats up?
#44 - Posted by: lehvak (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 01:51
Looks awesome, but the massive file size is a bit off-putting. As a suggestion, would it be possible to split this mod into several smaller chunks? Not necessarily playable sections (that would be a lot of work), just several smaller files that are easier to download.
#45 - help! - Posted by: moscow15 (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 06:45
I abolutly love all of FF's work! but i have a problem of crashing. Everytime i play either EP1 and Hl2 it crashes during gameplay with looping sounds. does anyone know how to fix this!??!?!?!??!?!?!?? Thank you and keep up the great and ausome work!
#46 - Another Masterpiece! - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 07:11
Absolutely Amazing! I have one question. Does anyone know where I can get Vista Nvidia drivers that work correctly? For me the phong is incorrect and I get terrible performance on settings I used in XP.
#47 - Posted by: Suggs (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 07:36

Must be because its soo busy . . . ???::
#52 - Posted by: boehseronkel (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 15:04
Have you changed the Alyx body textures since the last version? I´ve reworked the textures of the 3.05 LIMA8 body skin and used them with the aly7 model from the "8 new Alyx skins" package. (du weißt schon, was ich meine ) Do you allow me to upload reworked skins of you? It´s not for paysites. (das wäre für nudecreator.net, eine finanziell interessenlose Community, dein Name wird natürlich gewürdigt )
#53 - Question - Posted by: Illuminati_0883 (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 15:12
Will the fully nude Alyx model and textures be updated to match these current ones?
Thanks in advance.
#54 - Posted by: Junior_Barnes (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 15:24
Thank god for that Torrent. Make sure to seed guys!
#55 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 18:28
@boehseronkel
Yes, most alyx textures are reworked. And yes, you can upload to nudecreator.net
#56 - Posted by: boehseronkel (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 19:00
Good news for me!
#57 - Installer - Posted by: OneQuarterLife (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 21:42
Hello FakeFactory, Is there any chance for a non-installer pack? I prefer it manual.
#58 - Garry's Mod - Posted by: songbyrd92 (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 22:15
If only the new Alyx models were available as ragdolls on Garry's Mod. Now that, would be AWESOME!
#59 - FF did it AGAIN - Posted by: lowtech (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 22:23
Great Work FF! The install was easy and I had no problems with the installer. v4 has been well worth the wait. Forget the critics - Your Mod is the best of the best!
Thank You.
#60 - HELP ME!!!!!!!!! - Posted by: paintballer1324 (Member) on 04-01-2007 at 23:49
when I finish the download nothing happens. nothing, zero then i start steam to find that nothing happend.
#61 - # 60 - Posted by: Illuminati_0883 (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 00:20
A lot of things could be wrong based on what your saying;
#1 You could have installed it into the wrong place.
#2 It may be a bad download, which is unfortunate considering the size of the file.
#3 You extracted it wrong.
Bottom line is, it's some thing wrong on your end, I installed this with no trouble in the slightest.
#62 - smaller size - Posted by: NSCXP2005 (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 03:35
Hi to all,
Would somebody please upload this somewhere into smaller files, as this is to big to get.
#63 - Posted by: DVAC (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 03:56
I'm giving up here.
I downloaded the file 5 times and every time i get either a bad file (corruptet) or during the instaill i get a error with one of the zip files have a bad end.
But thanks for a great mod FF, you truely are a master at this
#64 - Posted by: boehseronkel (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 09:11
How can I use the "LIMA14_Detail" texture? Is there something like a hardcore Alyx construction kit? Or why are such textures in your package? I´d like to make a nudemodel with the textures of "LIMA14_Body1", "LIMA8_Face" and "LIMA14_Detail"...
#65 - Posted by: clipperton (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 09:53
problem of telechargement, it spends one second for telecharger and then as it is a file "rar"il says to me that there is nothing inside
#66 - Telecharge...? - Posted by: Illuminati_0883 (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 13:20
I've never heard of that term in my life.
Get IZArc it's the best compression extractor I've ever seen, it'll open every type or extension ever made. It's better than WINRAR.
#67 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 13:55
Which mod does this apply to Fakefactory? I see some Episode One pictures but some HL2 pictures as well.
#68 - solved my music problem - Posted by: White_hell (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 14:32
I have sloved my problem (no music)
It turns out that the mod only seemed to work on 2 speakers (which is strange because every other mod for half life and even half life it self works on 5.1 speakers)
I dont know what the problem could of been, but why it doesnt work on 5.1 speakers are a mystery to me
Also on a totaly different matter is that there is one model/ texture is really bothering me cause its still low-res (its in the first chapter. When your finally out of the train station and then theres poles in front of you). I will try and post a picture of it soon
#69 - Posted by: GP113 (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 15:31
O........M........G.... great job FF! downloading now
#70 - Posted by: pokemona (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 15:44
@Justaclone2
it installs 2 mods, one for EP1 and one for HL2
#71 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 16:39
Can you download and install the Episode One mod separate without installing the HL2 mod?
#72 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 17:00
One more question...I am planning to download version 3.0 and I would like to know if I can go back to the old hi-res alyx models? Or how to do it.
#73 - The Necklace... - Posted by: xXxRessurectxXx (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 17:28

Using the ACK, when it says model is only for phase Intro/Kleiners lab, does that mean I have to choose a different model for the other levels too? I.E. do I just click each separate level and choose a model from there? Sorry I don't really understand what's going on
BTW, awesome work yet again FF
#75 - Posted by: drmonumbo (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 20:37
Ugh... could we you know... focus on the game and not more sexy-Alyxs. Unlike some of you I don't boot up HL2 to stare at Alyx.
#76 - Qusetion - Posted by: broro2323 (Member) on 04-02-2007 at 21:02
Would FakeFactory or anybody else like me to create a torrent?(or be adveresed to it) i have a 1 mbs upload with 10 mbs download
#77 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 04-03-2007 at 04:35
@BeLGaRaTh67
You have to select your prefered model for "each" gamestage (Stage 1 to 5 in HL2, and Intro/Game in EP1). You can choose any combination you want (i.e. bodysuit in kleiners lab, Valve-Style in Black Mesa etc...) or remove the Hires-models by selecting the original valve models inside the ACK
#84 - EXE - Posted by: EsperAura (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 02:32
Is anyone else having a problem launching the game? Most times that I click the exe the screen will go black and then right back to the desktop, but it will launch occasionally. What is up with this?
#85 - Posted by: EsperAura (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 03:07
Oh yes, I've forgotten. My problem in my above post only applies to the HL2 part of CM v4.0, the Episode One part launches just fine.
#86 - Loading levels - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 05:18
Everytime I go into the game and load a level it just freezes up. It takes over ten times longer than the regular game. I'm not sure if it is the mod, or Vista. But I've run Episode One and HL2 without a problem.
#87 - Posted by: broro2323 (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 08:56
@EsperAura
What do you mean by clicking the exe? The mod is meant to be launched from the steam game list. If you say episode 1 launches fine, it could be that you dont hace half life 2 installed.
@Hunter1942
Could you post your system stats please? It could be that you dont have enough ram.
#88 - My Specs - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 10:26
Here are my specs:
Windows Vista
Pentium D 840 (3.20GHz)
1GB 3200 DDR RAM
Geforce 7800GS OC AGP 256mb
Hitachi 160GB SATA HD
Will readyboost improve performance and reduce stuttering?
I have a 2GB flash drive sitting on my desk and I will plug it in if it will make a difference.
I have played 3.05 without problems in case you were wondering.
#89 - Posted by: broro2323 (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 11:09
@Hunter1942
Readyboost wont help any games performance much. Looking at your specs, i would reccomend that you have at least 2 gb of ram. I have 4 GB and the game is running smothly for me on vista. Some errors do happen but i can load the game. Where you playing 3.05 on vista? If you were then i dont know whats causing it.
#90 - Posted by: EsperAura (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 12:05
@broro2323
I am launching it from steam but you can just right-click any steam game and create a desktop shortcut from "properties". I have tried launching the game both ways with the same results. My vanilla HL2 is installed just fine, I'm playing it because I can't get the CM 4.0 to run reliably, besides that though, CM will run SOMETIMES. It wouldn't run at all if I didn't have HL2 installed, right?
#91 - Posted by: EsperAura (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 13:53
Actually broro2323, I think I've fixed for the most part. It seems it was crashing back to the desktop because fakefactory's intro video didn't want to run because I had an old outdated version of Windows Media Player. I upgraded to the latest version (version 11 or something) and now the game launches just fine for the past 10 or so times I've ran it
#92 - Patch? - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 16:20
Awesome mod as usual, I eventually sorted out the issues I was having with v3.5, and i've been playing through singleplayer again with this fantastic mod applied.
But I was curious, do you have any plans to release a 3.5->4.0 incremental patch? Or is the entire 3.2gb absolutely required for this version? I'd love to be able to just apply anything that's necessary from this version over my previous 3.5 install (also, would my savegames still work allright if I upgraded to this from 3.5, or would they get nuked/cease to function properly?)
Thanks!
#93 - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 16:39
I played 3.5 on XP. For some reason 3/4 of the way through loading it freezes.
#94 - Posted by: broro2323 (Member) on 04-04-2007 at 21:09
@Hunter1942
There is your problem, vista causes massive problems in half life 2 for me too.
@esperAura
Of course! Sorry for not thinking about that.
#95 - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-05-2007 at 08:32
I finally got the Half Life 2 Cinematic Mod working but when I got to the first loadpoint when you jump out of the window it froze. Vista...Vista...Vista what shall I do with you? I can't believe one of the greatest games of all time doesn't work with Vista.
#96 - Posted by: broro2323 (Member) on 04-05-2007 at 09:26
Half life 2 will be patched for vista soon enough.
#97 - Well I figured out the culprit of the major slowdowns... - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-05-2007 at 12:44
The new Alyx models. Woa as me... this is horrible. The best part of the FakeFactory pack (that used to run great on XP) is ruined! When ever she is in view it drops to about 5 fps. When she is out of view I'm up into the high numbers. I guess I will have to use the hi-res reskins of the original until this is fixed.
#98 - Posted by: Illuminati_0883 (Member) on 04-05-2007 at 13:47
I use Windows 2000, there's no reason for me to switch to XP. Let alone Vista.
#99 - Great mod but one thing... - Posted by: Creomortis (Member) on 04-05-2007 at 17:15
My specs
playing at 1280x1024
2gb ram
amd athlon 3000 overclocked to 2.3ghz (making it about a 3800?)
8800GTX OC (600mhz core)
Vista 64bit
Ok my problem is whenever the game attempts to autosave or i try to save i get an error box saying the game has tried to close itself abnormally. Any ideas what might be causing this?
#100 - gah - Posted by: Creomortis (Member) on 04-05-2007 at 17:16
Forgot to mention, half life 2 runs fine without running this mod.
#101 - Posted by: broro2323 (Member) on 04-05-2007 at 20:27
Hmm i think 64 bit + vista is causing this. Try right clicking on the steam folder in program files, selecting properties, Security tab, Click edit, and click allow full access on user account and trused installer admin and whaterver full controll is unticked
#102 - yay! - Posted by: Creomortis (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 05:43
Ok i got it to work. What i did was right click the steam folder and in properties i made sure i had the settings boro said, which i already did. So instead i decided to untick "read only" from the folder and apply it to all subfolders aswell. I also did this for the "steam apps" folder. It now saves fine!
#103 - why such a long wait :( - Posted by: Zeberdee (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 11:58
why is the download time for this so LONG off filefront????
I had it go to a 23 hour download time at one point, i gave up in the end, sorry FF, but it looks like i'll be staying with the older version, i cant leave the PC on for that length of time, just for 1 download. If i try the torrent, guarenteed i'll get to 99.98% and it will remain at that for months.
#104 - Citizen skins - Posted by: sirKamikaze (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 12:24

#105 - I know - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 13:37
I noticed that too. Just copy the hi-res skins to the new mod.

#107 - Updated Normalmaps - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 14:14
I hope you already noticed, FAKE, that your normalmap of the cargo container is inverted. I've made my own normalmap and Soon I will release a small package containing Garfields parallax shader and a phonge colourmapped, normalmapped, parallax-mapped cargo-container package. I had to recompile the models because valve's smoothing groups are not appropriate for the use of parallax-mapping. At the moment I still experience very minor glitches but they are barely noticable and the excellent parallax effect overweighs the slight problem by far.
For those of you who want to download and do not like the parallax-effect, i can explain how to disable it if necessary.
#108 - other download sites - Posted by: wookiesan (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 14:23

#109 - Amazing! - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 14:47
Wow Langenscheiss, that container looks amazing.
Has anyone gotten the new models to work in Gmod 10? I tried but only two of the Alyx models worked. The one in the tight black suit and the one with the top and baseball cap.
#110 - Posted by: broro2323 (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 17:43

I started the torrent and i guarentee it will work, http://www.mininova.org/tor/647437
Currently it displays 0 seeds even though there are about 4
#112 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 21:18
So..just to confirm, this new v4.0 covers both HL2 and Episode One, right? If so... is it at all possible to release a version that only covers Episode One without the additional (1.5+gbs?) of HL2 content?
That'd be awesome...
#113 - ParallaxDemoPackage - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 21:20
Cargo-Container MNPhongEX Demopackage:
Replaces the normalmap of all vertexlit cargo-container-models and adds parallax-occlusion-mapping as well as perpixel phongcolor. Phongexponent is also modified.
All this is made possible by imgarfields (Mihail Najdenov) fantastic parallax-occlusion shader. The shader is already included so you do not have to install it seperately.
Just extract the package to the CinematicMod folder. Normalmap has been optimized for Cinematic Mod, but theoretically this package works with every game that makes use of the LATEST source engine build.
Be sure to backup all the files that will be replaced (vmts, client.dll).
It's not perfect because sometimes parallax results into strangely distorted textures. That happens because (at least that's what I know about it so far) sometimes the intersection search does not give any results (very steep angles). I know that not everybody can understand this but for those of you who want to understand this I can just recommend google. Just look for Parallax Occlusion Mapping.
You can get rid of those distortions by just disabling parallax-mapping. I will not explain how to do this because it's really easy. Just look into the vmt-files.
I have already optimized the models to make them as compatible to parallax-mapping as possible so in most situations it'll just work fine.
WARNING: Parallax-mapping needs a lot of resources and computing performance. Please do not expect great performance on lowend systems.
Minimum requirement is a fully sm2.0 compatible graphics card. To enjoy parallax-mapping you need at least a graphics card that supports sm2.0B (x800/700, all sm3.0 boards)
#114 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 04-06-2007 at 22:12
Hey Lang, you thing you could parallax map textures? Like cracks in roads, windows and train tracks and mabey sand.
#115 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 06:37
cracks in roads are easy, but i will not parallax-map any brush textures for the source engine anymore, since it's total waste of time. It doesn't work anyway because of the reason i stated in my last post (no intersection glitch)
But obviously I'm not a 2d artist just like FakeFactory. I just do it for fun. I can give you some of my brush examples, of course, but you won't be able to test them with Cinematic Mod. You need the old parallax-occlusion shader for brushes.
What I probably cannot do without a huge amount of time is wavy sand. Maybe FakeFactory will rework some props with parallax-mapping.
#116 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 06:40
If you want to create heightmaps yourself, just keep in my that all the small details like cracks in windows definitely look better with simple normal-mapping. (and the performance is much better since you need a high resolution heightmap)
#117 - Over - Posted by: johnhutch2000 (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 08:56
Well it looks truly great but like a lot of people i guess, thats me over, can't run it anymore, I would like the alyx skins as a replacement releasing for use in gmod and hl2 but I cant run this even with my dual core and 512 graphics card not unless i go buy yet more ram.
Nice release though, I just wonder what happens from here...
#118 - Posted by: JohnnyMo1 (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 12:29
Why are you not a part of VALVe yet, Fakefactory?
#119 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 12:57
Without any offence, but making textures hires is something different. At Valve you gonna have to create your own textures from scratch.
#120 - Posted by: Fadeaway (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 13:18
How the hell do you get rid of the grass? Not the texture, the sprites. It's garishly green and doesn't fit with half of the stuff in the game.
#121 - Posted by: Fadeaway (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 13:21
That said, I absolutely love the details: 3.0 had all sorts of ridiculous crap which made it feel even less like Half-Life 2, such as the pin-up pictures of Alyx replacing paper clippings and a cherished family photo. I'm sure Eli never had any designs on his own daughter. The Lobos New Mexico cap helps add to the depth of story and I'm surprised at the detail of the newspaper clippings.
Do you have a version of this which is just the materials?
#122 - Posted by: JohnnyMo1 (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 13:39
"Without any offence, but making textures hires is something different. At Valve you gonna have to create your own textures from scratch."
VALVe didn't make theirs from scratch. And fakefactory doesn't just take VALVe skins and press a magic button that makes them look better.
#123 - yes! Finally! - Posted by: MrChocob0 (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 13:56
Now I don't have to go and DL Part 2.3 with a patch, then go and DL the newer patch, which then would make me want to DL the update. Now it's all here. full-loaded. Thanks man.
#124 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 14:27
@122: Most assets either come from free sources or from photos they took themselves. That's what i mean by "from scratch".
I admit that his body skins are absolutely perfect and he well deserves a position as a skinner. But his textures are often not perfectly tileable to be honest.
#125 - Posted by: v_SdMicromachine (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 16:59
there's over 3 QUALITY gigs worth of hard work and expense put into this and all you guys talk about is alyx. that's too sad to be funny.
#126 - Requirements Update... - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 04-07-2007 at 18:44
You should take out the part where it says Vista as recommended requirements. Having Vista myself, I can safely say Vista has serious performance issues and tons of crashes. Not to sound rude or anything, I just wanted to point that out.
Too bad, this mod seriously rocks and I was looking forward to playing it. I wonder what the mod does that makes my game crash. It crashes whenever I load a new part of a level and sometimes when Alyx is on the screen.
Maybe this happens because Vista sucks up half of my 1GB stick of memory. In XP I could play with the same rig and it would run just fine. It would have slight stuttering issues but not half as bad as this. FakeFactory, do you have any suggestions?

Well since Valve is makin the Half-Life 2 series on the PS3 and 360 i don't think it should look like it does now. If its going to be on a next-generation system it should look as good as this. This is a huge change! Awesome job! 5/5

#130 - Posted by: WipperSnipper (Member) on 04-08-2007 at 02:55
10/10 just because the file size made me laugh. Thats ridiculous rofl. I'm not even going to try this because hl2 bores me now, but this does look slightly interesting.
Good work.
#131 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-08-2007 at 04:40
I can tell you that hl2 had bored me for long until FakeFactory released his great Cinematic Mod. It's the only reason why I still play HL2. Because this Mod shows that highend graphics do not necessarily need highend shader effects (although i have to admit they can improve graphics very much when used with properly).
#132 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 04-08-2007 at 06:46
Ok...just wanted to clarify something;
Will installing the new HL2 content invalidate my old (FF 3.5) savegames? I noticed it includes all of the maps again so I was wondering if something's been changed that would require me to start over (or just start a new game and change maps to the one I was up to).
#133 - bad perf on Vista - Posted by: Mesocyclone (Member) on 04-08-2007 at 09:12
To bad this mod still runs terrible on Vista 64 with a 8800GTX and Vista 101.70 drivers. Some maps wont run at al and some crashes. The times it run, it plumped to 2 fps And this is with a Core2D@3 ghz and 4 gb ram.
I will try the 4 gb trick (adress more then 2 gig to the exe. if its not already enabled) and the shader replacement from lang.
Great work though and I hope next drivers wil run it.

That would be cool, I just need to see how one person makes something, and then i can find ways to make it. Though, I don't know how to make height maps like the skull plate, I need to learn to fade.

But when i looked up at the percent it was at, it was at -25. Any help or suggestions would be great. ALSO, FF, YOU ARE GOD! YOU SHOULD REALLY TALK TO VALVE FOR GETTING A JOB! (ive also installed the older cinamatec mods and they worked prefectly)

Wish we could edit posts...
Anyway, after a good 20 minutes of reinstalls, overwrites, random file copying and deleting, I got it to work. And it works perfectly (looks might fine too ), the only issue left is that 99% of the text is in german...for instance, the first level (both ingame and at the 'new game' screen) is called 'Kein Grund zur Panik', instead of its usual name.
Also, the 3d menu backgrounds aren't working either, I just get a blurred out picture of the map it should be loading. Any ideas?
#139 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 04-09-2007 at 00:59
Arr, sorry for 'spamming' guys, but it's all good now. I ended up going in and editing some of the text files in the EpisodicResources folder. The 'english' Captions and Menu text files and such all had German entries (the english stuff was in there too, but commented out), so I just copied the entire english contents from the 'FAKEFACTORY_cinematicEP1_english.txt' into that file, saved, and everything's back to standard english.
I'll certainly enjoy playing this now, thanks FF!

#142 - One last little problem... - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 04-09-2007 at 08:21
Yeah, one more
It seems the game is just flatout refusing to load the 3d map backgrounds for the main menu, only giving me the silly blurred image. I managed a rough fix by simply adding 'map_background ep1_background01' to my Autoexec.cfg file, and it works, giving me the initial Citadel background. however i'm willing to bet it's not going to change to the appropriate map background once I start progressing through the game again.
Anyone know what might be wrong?

Downloaded in 5.5 hrs. Installed with no problem.
Plays plenty fast enough on my rig under XP SP2, and looks very good indeed.
Unplayable under Vista 32 HP - at least for me.
HL2 is OK until a manual save or the first auto-save, but then crashes.
HL2 E1 is just VERY slow , <1fps, with stuttery/looping sound, with little disk I/O, and CPU nowhere near full utilisation.
Don't know where the problem lies - Vista, graphics drivers, Steam or HL2
I'd guess maybe the beta graphics drivers, but ONLY a guess. Will have to wait and see how things develop.
GeForce 8800GTS 640MB, Core2 Duo E6600, 2GB DDR2-800, Asus P5BDL WiFi MoBo, Creative Audigy 2 sound card, 20" wide-screen LCD

Wow...
That new Alyx model is DETAILED (anyone who's got it in Gmod will know what I mean). That's just crazy
Any word on when a nude version of this model and the other models missing from the ACK will be available? You mention releasing them seperately to the Gmod community...any hints on when this might be?
Again, the new model is just incredible. VR sex? Sure looks like we're heading that way!
#147 - Posted by: dimonlv (Member) on 04-11-2007 at 08:45
Yeah, tha new model is very detailed! Very sexy!! (Ahh, blue skirt!!) Good job. It would be nice to know when they all will be availible for G-Mod. Becouse it's realy boring to eksport them manualy.. and there are only 5 slots for models.
P.S. Sory for my bad english.
#148 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 04-11-2007 at 10:10

#151 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 04-11-2007 at 15:40
@Illuminati_0883
Yes, with the GMOD pack all textures are updated, and all models are recompiled with new uv-mapping. Beside Alyx, you will get some new models like Mossman, Eli and Doc Kleiner. They all look incredible realistic now, but this pack is for the rich people with supercomputers only. You will need a graphicadapter with 512 MB VRAM for the new stuff.

@Bob00100
Yes, you can install the models into the Cinematic Mod. Most likely i will release a separate CM4 Update with the Ultra-Hires-Models

Noooooo. My card only supports 2048 x 2048. Crap
#156 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 06:13
Well I just found out it supports 4096 x 4096 as well but i hope it won't crash the whole game because of low memory environment. But I plan to upgrade within the next months (just because of you FakeFactory :-) ).
#157 - im going to try them out - Posted by: White_hell (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 06:51
lets see if i can make my computer burn (my plan spawn 10000000's of them....... then have loads of striders and combine soliders and zombies having a fight at the same time).
I recently got a new graphics card (8800GTX) and finally upgraded my processer (Core duo E6600 No more single processor for me )
so ive been beging to try this baby out..... (no game has had any lag yet)
#158 - Posted by: Cirdain (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 09:05
I got really hyped up for this, so i downloaded and played. When i opened the door - after you jump out the window - it came up with a loading screen as it should do but then my mouse appered which it shouldn't after about 5-6 mins i press alt tab to go back to the desktop and this came up.
spec:
vista home premuim 32 bit
2 gb ram
nivda 7950GT 512mb (lastest nvida vista drivers)
AMD 64 x2 4600+
DirectX 10
played at 1240 x 1024
the game was excellent for the amount i played
#159 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 09:46
that is because you have vista. Vista is for the trash can.
#160 - @FakeFactory - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 09:56
That happens if the source engine has to do too much swapping.
@FakeFactory:
Why don't you tell Valve about the error. Maybe it's just a simple glitch which has to be fixed. Or did you already tell them the problem?
#161 - Posted by: Cirdain (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 10:44
hopefully there will be an update.
#162 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 12:04
@ Cirdain
Creative X-Fi soundcard?
@Langenscheiss:
Not yet. I haven't seen a single crash on Vista 32/64 with 4 GB ram (but many crashes with 2 GB ram) - so i'm not shure, if there is a fault with the source-engine or with vista.
Here are some examples of the new models:
(had to downsample the jpeg because of sizelimits - ingame you will see more details.)
Finally i have fixed a little eyes-setup error with the models (eyes-updown was very strange sometimes)
#163 - Posted by: dimonlv (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 13:01
Thank you FF, for all you have done for us!!
#164 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 18:16
No it's definitely the source engine. HL2 runs great but ep1 still crashes at the same places with the same runtime error bug. As you said it has something to do with swapping. You have 4 gig but you cannot expect from the community that everyone has the same amount of RAM. I play with 2 gig and 256mb vram and I think this is or maybe 512mb vram is the recent standard among gamers. It should at least be playable with this specs without crashes.
#165 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 18:18
The crashes happen more regularly on vista because it eats RAM for breakfast.
#166 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-12-2007 at 18:19
Sorry for spamming but finally hires clothes for civillians.
#167 - Running under Vista - Posted by: zelazny43 (Member) on 04-13-2007 at 02:48
Further to my previous post about being unplayable under Vista (XP being fine), I have found that if I reduce texture detail to Medium, with everything else on High as recommended (with *), both HL2 and E1 run without problems at a decent frame rate at 1680x1050. This of course defeats the object of the exercise.
With textures on high, I was getting down to only 150-200MB free memory (out of 2GB), but on medium have about 500MB free. Even with 640MB video memory on my 8800GTS card, main memory seems to be an issue. As fakefactory found, - 4GB may be necessary when cranking up all details. Vista uses more memory than XP, so maybe that's the critical difference for me.
#168 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 04-13-2007 at 05:52
To round up the vista case...
Tested more with Vista x64 and x32.
With 2 GB RAM the game is nearly unplayable on several scenes (framerate drop down to 5 fps, where XP runs the same scene with 50+ frames)
Disabling Hires-Textures completly (just by renaming the materials folder) gives me crashfree playing even with just 1 GB RAM installed. This is strange, because this would mean, the crashes are texture-amount related. Either the Vista memory managment does some things, the source engine don't like, or the current vista chip drivers are crap.
I'm still investigating several constellations (hires-lores material, high ram low ram environment) and will keep you updated. i hope, i can figure out, what is going on with vista and CM4.
#169 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-13-2007 at 06:39
To clarify things: It does not only happen with Vista. It's the same with XP, even with 2 gig, but not as regularly as with vista. The only difference between vista and xp is that vista needs a lot more ram which is a well known fact. But more memory for os means less for hl2 means more swapping means more crashes. By the way a switch to the old engine version would help but that's not a good solution.
#170 - lol at Vista users - Posted by: Illuminati_0883 (Member) on 04-13-2007 at 12:02
Why would you get Vista before the first service pack? XP was useless before it's first one.
Win 2000 FTW.
#171 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 04-13-2007 at 14:43
Here is a quick and dirty crash-fix for all vista users, until VALVE updates the engine for full compatibility
#172 - Posted by: Jo7 (Member) on 04-13-2007 at 17:21
Looking forward to Gmod pack!
#173 - Posted by: Langenscheiss (Member) on 04-13-2007 at 18:26
Is this compatible to XP as well?
#174 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 04-14-2007 at 00:31
4096x4096! That sound unpossible! I thought it didn't go higher than 2048X2048. I guess i'll need to updrade, which wouldn't be that bad, since I have a Gforce 6600 and like I think 512mb-1g of memory, I should probably get 4 gigs since my motherboard supports 4 slots and dual 7600's. Though that might mean I would need to buy a new processor, I have a 64bit amd, but I saw a commercial for intel Quad Duo thingy. Gosh, this adds up to be a lot-o-money. but it'll be worth it for future games.
#175 - darn.. - Posted by: 16FireAway16 (Member) on 04-14-2007 at 08:42
i just spend 8 hours downloading this, and now it says a file called binmap or something is damaged so i can't install it because winrar just wont unpack it, because it's damaged. great, just great.
#176 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 04-14-2007 at 08:55
You could always open it in Winrar, go to Tools->Repair Archive and hope that it can either repair the file to a point where it'll extract happily (regardless of the textures' state in the end). Though that'll take a while to reconstruct...still be faster than re-downloading it.
So..FF...any word on that model pack for Gmod?
#177 - gmod pack - Posted by: half_death (Member) on 04-14-2007 at 10:15

Yeah haha, I actually downloaded it from another location that supports resume, did some at work, and the rest at home
For some reason now, I don't even get the 3d map backgrounds in HL2. I normally ran it with the +map Background_none shortcut command to give me the blurred background, but now even without that I still get a blurred image of what should be the 3d map.
Does anyone know why both Ep1 and HL2 would be doing this? Or how to restore the 3d menu backgrounds? It's really annoying

#183 - FOUND THE REASON FOR VISTA CRASHES, BUT... - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 04-15-2007 at 13:31
After extracting the complete sporce-engine, building a (non legal) "ripped" version of HL2 and setting the LARGE_ADRESS_AWARE flag on all DLL's and the hl2.exe the crashes on vista are completly gone.
technical background: the datacache.dll tries to allocate ram, but fails, because the needed memblock doesn't fit into the limited 2 GB userspace. With the flag LARGE_ADRESS_AWARE it can allocate memory beyound the 2 GB limit, therefore no crashes.
BUT:
1. Its illegal to rip the engine
2. It needs a 64 bit Vista or a 32 Bit vista with modified USERVA value
3. It needs minimum 4 GB RAM.
So, currently CM4 is a now-go for VISTA users. I hope, VALVE is coming out with a updated 64 Bit engine soon.
#184 - release date? - Posted by: half_death (Member) on 04-15-2007 at 15:40
when do you plan on releasing the gmod model pack?
also, will the gmod pack just include the 4.0 models, or will it include some older (mabey updated) models. I loved the trenchcoat matrix-style model.

oh my specs are

Thanx, but I rather have the full experience and wait a while until the next engine patch.
I have 4 gb memory, but Source probably don't use it correct.?
I have also some things to try, such as add more then 2 gb ram adress to some files, maybe this will help? (with Explorer_Suite_Setup) Or does the HL2 64 bits.exe allready make use of that?

Ok after a very VERY long download i was excited to have this install. When i launched game I set it to all high with AA and AF off, at 1280x1024. I had fps of >80, yet my game would continuously lock up, freeze or crash, and I would have an insane amount of stuttering, when i looked or walked around. I am extremely disappointed that i am unable to play this, yet i can play half life 2 on all max with full AA and AF no problem at >140fps. Please help...

Thank you for this wonderful mod! The rich textures and amount of detail are beautiful. This must be what Direct X10 games will aspire to. I'm able to play this w/ 2.6GHz P4, 1G RAM, 6800GT... but here's my problem. I have a non-Steam installation of HL2, so there's no SOUREMODS folder.

actually i've just got the new xp drivers so i might have another crack at it.

what drivers are you using, I've heard 97.92 are the best but im not sure and i haven't noticed any difference other then better AA support with the new 158.19

If anyone can help me out id appreciate it.

These textures are really good, but most of the Alyx skins are just ugly. They all seem to cater to some thirteen year old's fantasies about a video game character. And that's just lame, not to mention a tad creepy.

Please stop pretending that you're better than all of us. You could have said "These skins are not my type"
But instead you replied "fantasies about a video game character" Alyx IS in fact a video game character, you hit that right on.

Ugh, this sucks. In XP I can run the mod at 1600x1200 with no problems but in vista I cant run this mod above 1024x768 without any stuttering. Disabling desktop composition, turning on anisotropic filter optimization, and putting texturing quality on performance helps a bit but still doesn't eliminate it completely. Man, this sucks.

#211 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 04-28-2007 at 21:52
@210:
I had the exact same error. The only way I got it working in the end was to substitute the Client.dll and Server.dll in 'episodicepisodicbin' with two older versions from another game (can't really remember which sorry because I was extracting files and copy/pasting things left right and center trying to get it to work).
If it's allowed, I could post a zip containing these two files that should hopefully fix things for you as it did for me. Any problems with that, mods? I'm not sure if it's illegal to post those two dll's or not...

I really love this Mod, but is there a way to apply different Styles of Alyx without the Construction Kit, 'cause it won't work for me because the Kit defends on "xcopy" and I deleted that with nLite.
#216 - Posted by: half_death (Member) on 05-01-2007 at 18:27
in the models folder, there is a folder named "repository". you can copy the different alyxs from that folder to the main models folder (make sure you COPY, not move). there are some alyx models in the repository that I dont think you can get to with the construction kit
#217 - Posted by: half_death (Member) on 05-01-2007 at 20:21
you DO have to overwrite the alyx models already in that directory, but its alright, they are still in the repository folder.

Well, first of all a big thank you to you, FAKEFACTORY, for providing the community with a truly amazing mod.
However, since I've yet to upgrade my computer and I'm running HL2 with an ancient 9800pro, I would like to know if (and how) I could use just the music and perhaps the more detailed alyx models in my playthroughs, since the full installation really slays my system
Anyways, thanks again for all of your hard work!
Ps. I really like the new intro video....(although I wish that you would have used Valve's Alyx model)

question: why does the download for this mod stop at 2gigs. It just acts like it's finished and I end up with an incomplete archive. I've also run this on the Downthemall firefox accelerator and ended up with the same problem. I'd turn to torrrents but with 1 seeder, that will take over 20 days of straight downloading. Plz help.
#234 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 05-08-2007 at 10:15
See if you have any luck with that link. I'm not an Internode customer any more but I just tried that link to 200mb downloaded and it went at max speed without a hitch.
Worth a shot :
The link I posted earlier is now password protected..tightasses. There's bound to be the right link for you! Just sucks that you can't use a download manager on so many sites (makes like a heckload easier when you can).
#235 - Posted by: aNt1CrYsT (Member) on 05-08-2007 at 20:53
@ Sobbsy
TY TY. the link you just posted is working for me. Hopefully it works.

@ Sobbsy
Well, after three hours of downloading, I reached the fated 2gig mark and...another error. Oh well. Seems like I won't be downloading fakefactory any time soon.
#237 - Posted by: aNt1CrYsT (Member) on 05-08-2007 at 23:11
sry for another post, but how about releasing this mod to be downloadable on steam?
#238 - tooo long! - Posted by: zacer (Member) on 05-12-2007 at 17:30
the download is like three hours!
#239 - valve says no - Posted by: zacer (Member) on 05-12-2007 at 17:40
@anticryst, dude they are NOT releasing this on steam! because some of the models are sexually explicit and valve would NOT let that happen!

Save it.
Download winrar from rarlabs.com.
then use winrar to open it.

well ill try that then even if total is 8 hours. it'll be worth it!
#243 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 05-14-2007 at 18:46
@Zacer, no you do not have to pay. There is a trial version on that page. Look around a bit more, you should find it. I think it is lower.
Okay, I discovered that 3.0 runs better on my PC than 2.32, and I also discovered that 4.0 for HL2 runs worse than 2.32 did on my PC. If HL2 runs terribly on the PC in version 4.0 Episode One will not even run. So I have obviously decided to stick with version 3.0 for Half-Life 2 until my PC is much better equipped, and version 1.03 for Episode One. I am wondering, Fakefactory or anyone who holds the answer, I would like to know if the models that we see in 4.0 are available to download separately for 3.0. I figure that there is a problem with installing 4.0 made hi-res models onto an older version of this mod. I do not know, but I just figured that.
Thank you.
#244 - Posted by: zacer (Member) on 05-14-2007 at 19:13

so somebody help, please i just want the models for gmod10. i don't want the mod, just the alyx models, k????? help me
#249 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 05-15-2007 at 22:16
I would just like to say before proceeding that you are not going to get help by flaming people.
You need to double click what you downloaded, open up the Half-Life 2 cinematic mod folder (obviously by double clicking it I'm sure you can figure that out). Do not open the Episode One cinematic folder, Episode One and mods that work with Half-Life 2 always work differently or something. Anyways, open up the HL2 Fakefactory Cinematic folder and you should be able to find a models folder somewhere inside the mod folder you just opened. It should not be too hard to find. Once you get to the Model folder, or inside it really, you should now find many different folders with model names, or something like that. I would recommend, in your position, to just copy the entire Model folder from this mod and paste it into a place you will remember. This way you can quickly access these models whenever you want them.
From there I cannot help you, since I know nothing concerning uploading models for the GMOD. Though I bet you just put them into the models directory. It might be worth attempting taking the Episode One models (follow the same path as I mentioned before just enter the Episode One mod folder instead of the Half-Life 2 mod folder) and also uploading them into the GMOD. Who knows, it might work.
If the models are not working and you are SURE (Absolutely sure) you uploaded the models into the GMOD right, maybe you need to extract the model folders from the mod to a safe kept area, like I said to copy them too. I'm probably wrong but I think there is a difference between extracting and copying and pasting.
Let me know if you have any other problems. If you have no clue on how to put the models into the GMOD, it might be worth joining the Filefront Forums, they have a large Half-Life 2 section there where you can ask many questions. AND you get answers most of the time, smart and good answers.
#250 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 05-16-2007 at 06:12
Zacer, you're better off waiting for the proper Gmod model pack to be released, which hopefully shouldn't be too far off now.

Some (very early) screens of the new addon:
This shows a uber hires version of an more asian looking alyx.
#254 - THE MAN - Posted by: bigcman321 (Member) on 05-16-2007 at 20:16
FAKEFACTORY,,, you are THE MAN! awsome models by the way
#255 - Posted by: DjBase2006 (Member) on 05-16-2007 at 20:22
The asian alyx looks very good and very very realistic... but i'm sticking to the latest normal alyx model.
The Airboat: Muuuuuch better now
And the citizens: Wow Fake, keep working on them they look ffantastic daaahm uber nice man
3 Requests Fake: Can you also do a new rebels skin, they still look so ugly at my 1680x1050 resolution. And last if you have the chance and if possible, can you do the bridge at the wasteland level, that's the most ugly texture right now in the game think.
And finaly the white wood @ wastelands also need your magic touch, there are still some very poor textures, but i can't remember them right now. I will get back if i remember more of them.
Keep your amazing mod alive and up tp date, love your work so much Fake!!!!!
#256 - Posted by: DjBase2006 (Member) on 05-16-2007 at 20:43
I took a screenshot of the white wood fence if you diddn't know what i meant
Oh and one more texture before you come up to mr breen where you look down at the big city is that possible to make better ?
#257 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 05-17-2007 at 06:36
Nice naked body over there DjBase2006
FF; just fantastic. I don't personally like the look of that asian version at all (very...yellow, and buck-toothed, haha) but it's some amazing modelling and texturing work nonetheless. The airboat looks incredible!

#259 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 05-17-2007 at 22:34
Could someone please answer quote #244. Thank you.
#260 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 05-18-2007 at 00:22
The simple answer would be no, the 4.0 models aren't available in a seperate 'pack' or such that could be used with an earlier version...you could go the long difficult route of manually renaming and overwriting each model from 3.x with those from 4.0, but that's just annoying.
I suppose if you ask FF reaaaalllly nicely, he might be able to lend a hand...either with a pack, some instructions on how to get all of your 4.0 models into 3.x easily or such...
#261 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 05-18-2007 at 16:24
Fakefactory is busy, and I believe it would be best to leave him to his work. Thanks for the tip though. I have an idea on what to do, I'll be testing it soon.
#262 - Posted by: zacer (Member) on 05-18-2007 at 17:02
there is no model folder in the download
#263 - 3.0 - Posted by: zacer (Member) on 05-18-2007 at 17:05
at least i managed to download the 3.0 cinematic mod but this..this is just really messed up
#264 - Posted by: MonkeyShine (Member) on 05-18-2007 at 19:57
If that "asian looking" Alyx isn't a dead ringer for Zhang Ziyi, I don't know what is. It's a little creepy actually that you can manufacture a likeness that accurate. My system is less and less capable of handling this mod with each new iteration, but I still think you do amazing work.
#265 - Mod compressed into smaller pieces for easier downloading - Posted by: naughtymonkeyboy (Member) on 05-18-2007 at 21:46
I've broken the mod down into 35 smaller pieces for (potentially) easier and faster downloading using WinRAR. The torrent may be found at: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1165315/
Downloading will go faster as more people download and continue to upload the torrent. I hope that this helps to spread this wonderful mod to more people. Thank you for all of your hard work, FakeFactory!
#266 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 05-19-2007 at 09:02
@Zacer, when you download the mod you should get two different cinematic folders, one for Episode One, the other for Half-Life 2. In any of these, you could a model folder. It has to be there, it is in every single download.
My idea didn't work, not suprisingly. I attempted to take the Alyx construction kit and model folder from the HL2 4.0 cinematic mod and apply the folder into 3.0. I then used the Alyx construction kit from 4.0. It appeared to work right, but when I loaded the game Alyx had purple and black polygonal splotches or something. Kind of funny. So I'll just stick with the 3.0 models and mod for the time being. Unless...I manually install 4.0 models onto 3.0, but I don't want to re-donwload that mod.
#267 - Posted by: Junior_Barnes (Member) on 05-19-2007 at 11:11
Fake, your work never ceases to amaze me. That new citizen looks especially promising. Even though your models are still in their early stages they look fantastic.
Great job as always.
#268 - Path for manual Installation? - Posted by: drmaniac (Member) on 05-19-2007 at 11:34
Hi,
your work is AWESOME
maybe someone can help me, I cant get the mod running with Episode1?
What I do for Halflife2 is: I started the install and then move the content of folder
FAKEFACTORY_Cinematic
in to c:gamesvalvehalflife2hl2
thats works nice.
But for EPISODE2, I have
c:gamesvalveepisode1hl2
and
c:gamesvalveepisode1episodic
hm ?
First i copy the content from FAKEFACTORY_CinematicEP1
into the ...hl2
nothing changed but games started well.
then i copy the context from FAKEFACTORY_CinematicEP1
into the .episodic
and then the game crashed by staring...
any help for this ?
Thanks and forgive please my baaad english
#269 - forget - Posted by: drmaniac (Member) on 05-19-2007 at 11:36
a little thing: the "Alyx Construction Kit"
where it need to be??
It is original only in the folder for HL2, but E1 is installed in a other folder, so i copy the ACK to the EP1 dir ?
#270 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 05-19-2007 at 15:00
If you are using 4.0 you do not need to move the ACK, just open it and you can customize your Alyx outfits for each chapter and for all of Episode One on your own.
#271 - Posted by: drmaniac (Member) on 05-19-2007 at 16:01
ok but my bigger problem is to manual copy / install the 4.0 to Episode1
#272 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 05-19-2007 at 16:34
In the download, there is the FAKEFACTORY_CinematicEP1 folder, right when you open up the download. Just place that in your SourceMods folder. Wasn't there an executable file in the download that automatically installs the mod?
#273 - Posted by: drmaniac (Member) on 05-19-2007 at 21:56
I dont have a sourcemod folder, it is all located in one folder as described
#274 - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 05-20-2007 at 07:50
If you don't have one create one called
SourceMods
exactly. Then copy the Cinematic Mod folder into there. Then in your my games list it will say under Installed
Cinematic Mod : Episode 1 (4.0)
You were supposed to do this with the hl2 one too.
#275 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 05-20-2007 at 11:03
The path to the SourceMods folder should be C: (your hard drive)path to Steam SteamappsSourceMods
All mods are supposed to be put into here if you are using Steam, which you should be.
#276 - Posted by: zacer (Member) on 05-20-2007 at 12:58

#281 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 05-26-2007 at 12:07
Looks real good! I just don't like the citizens suits, it doesn't really seem like they are under combine control with those. And have you thought about doing hair plains/parallax mapping for realistic facial hair and scalp hair?
#282 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 05-26-2007 at 12:13
Also, on a eye texture idea, re uv the eyes so that the pupil sheet is large enoguh to hold veins and stuff on its sheet.
#283 - Posted by: MonkeyShine (Member) on 05-26-2007 at 21:58
Very impressive improvement on the citizens. I actually like the blazers, it gives them a WWII-occupied-Europe look. I don't like the use of the font Rubber Stamp or Stencil or whatever version that you used for the armbands. Using your own font would be ideal, but the typeface Gunplay is worth checking out in the mean time. It's sans serif so it makes more sense with all the Half Life text, and I think it would be a nice contrast to the retro blazer style. Gunplay is free too, it's on any number of those free font sites.

#293 - Posted by: zacer (Member) on 06-01-2007 at 13:55
i dont find asian alyx atractive at all. just my opinion.
#294 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 06-01-2007 at 16:41
1st Zacer, no, 2nd. Sounds good, but you only see mossman what 2-3 times in the game. 3rd. Ok, doesn't matter.
I was wondering though, there are 6 models that don't get much attention in the game: fast head crab (I don't like that it doesn't have a hole for a head to go), Poison zombie (it is very blocky and no one ever skins it) Fast zombie (it should have more meat on it, I mean it has missing muscles and it goes faster?), Zombie (It is only male, we need like a unisex zombie or something, or mabey 2 different zombies), Grigori (I would really like you to do what you did to the citizens, a nice body like that, but with grigoris size and style), and Odessa ( You only see him once but I want him to look better, like mabey model a better hat on him, mabey gloves on his hands, a gun holster, some stuff like that). I know this is alot, but I really only care about Grigori and Odessa.

I just did some research Whitey, It depends on if you have a radeon xpress 200 or 200 IGP. The IGP is terrible performance wise, but the regular xpress 200 is great. If you have the IGP version you are out of luck as far as im concerned. I'm not exactly sure how you can find out if it is the IGP version or not, I have run NVIDIA cards all my life.

The mod runs great for me exept when a Highres Alyx model appears on the screen. So when alyx is on the screen its almost unplayable.
Anybody else with this prob?
my specs are:
Windows Vista (yes I use the hotfix)
4 Gb ram
Geforce 8800 GTS 640 MB
Amd 64 Dual core 5600+
So there sould be no problems right?

FAKEFACTORY - I can't believe the time and effort you put into your mod, truly incredible! The 4.5 screens look great, I can't wait.
I set a weekly reminder in my calendar to check for 4.5 and in the mean time I'll load up Oblivion and Oscuro's monster mod to torture my new 8800GTX.

Hey Dozzerman,
I'm having the same problem. The mod runs like a dream until Alyx comes into view. They it becomes unplayable. If I get her off screen it runs great again.
My system:
Windows XP
1 GB RAM (DDR 400)
Geforce 7800 GS OC 256MB (AGP)
Pentium D 840 (3.2 GHz) Dual Core
As you can see, I don't have a top of the line computer but a decent one. AGP is my biggest downfall. Oh well, i'm not buying another PC. I definitely need more RAM.
Maybe I shouldn't have bought that new monitor.

FAKEFACTORY... I'm wondering what happened to the Gmod pack? You said in an earlier comment (posted in April, 2 months ago) that it was close to release. Then it seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.
What happened to it? I know you're busy with 4.5 (which looks great, by the way) but having those hi res models in Gmod would be really useful...

That second one looks like a local problem, I don't have any issues with those monitor textures, and neither do two of my friends who installed CM4.0 from the copy of the download I gave them...
#326 - seriously - Posted by: bigcman321 (Member) on 06-12-2007 at 14:17
Hey Fake Factory, when is the gmod pack coming out... I agree with Viper45 you said it was near release like forever ago. Your recent updates have looked very cool, but I would like to hear more on gmod pack... like when it's coming out, or if your making improvments on it. Your doing a great job so keep it up.
#327 - More pics - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 06-12-2007 at 14:51
I just like seeing new pics of the progress so far. Even if it doesn't get released right away. Hopefully you can get some more pics up FF.
#328 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 06-12-2007 at 16:29
bigcma321,
the gmod pack will contain the new hd-models (screens below). So it have to wait for finishing the new stuff.
Hunter 1942,
here are some samples, but beware: Some of this WIP-screens will shocking the "Keep the Valve Style" hardliners
#329 - Posted by: pokemona (Member) on 06-12-2007 at 16:52

I love the new models However, think the refugee's attire should be a bit more washed out, as if they didn't just go down to JC Penny and buy a set.

#335 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 06-12-2007 at 22:25
I don't think I will like the 4.5 characters. The dead body looked nice, strange thing to say. But yeah, you were right, it definitely strikes the "keep the valve style" type of person. I think, because up to 4.0 I liked a lot of your models. And some of the models in here I like a lot, such as the 4.5 City 17 people, I like the models, some of the clothes look a little too fresh. But I like the armbands, but that guy on the train with the crazy hair is a little too out there. Eli going bald is a little out there for me, and Kliener's head shape is a little oblonged (but you could expect such a thing from a smart man hehe).
Buy hey, the models still look incredible, and the new look definitely adds the "Fakefactory Cinematic" feel.
Mossman scares me.
#336 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 06-13-2007 at 00:49
Yay! Correctly modeled head Kleiner! Also mossmans hair looks like a nest or one of those 16th century wigs.

#338 - Runtime Error - Posted by: CrossEyedMary (Member) on 06-13-2007 at 12:43
First of all i'd like to say that the mod is fantastic, however, when I get to the first 'Loading' screen after meeting Barney for the very first time the game returns to the desktop and I get a runtime error message.
My computer is fairly new and it runs on Vista but the un-modded HL2 runs perfectly well as does the Cinematic Mod V4 up until the point I mentioned.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
#339 - Posted by: MonkeyShine (Member) on 06-13-2007 at 13:14
Sigourney Weaver Mossman! Very interesting twist on the characters. I love the new citizens. I still really like the blazers, though I agree with some that have said they should be less "new" looking. It actually reminds me a lot of the movie Great Escape where they make clothes out of sheets, curtains, sacks and anything they can find. I think the new armband looks much better. The only thing I can think of is that the sleeves look too short on a lot of the coats. Though, if that was intentional (because there aren't any tailors on occupied earth), leave it.
#340 - Posted by: DarthDementous (Member) on 06-13-2007 at 13:39
This is great, but Alyx's skin is too shiny. Keep it up, though. (An optional less shiny version would be a hit!)
#341 - Posted by: sabooya (Member) on 06-13-2007 at 15:44
at #338, your gonna have to get used to it lol, It happens to me too. Vista doesn't like this mod, steam has problems with the large textures, and having <4GB ram doesn't help. You can lower textures to medium and it removes the problem, just the textures are a bit blurry. Or you can do what I do and save every 5 minutes. Saving before a load then restarting game and loading up save to reload next map seems to work for me too.

If you're using IE to download CM4.0, then it'll stop at 2gb as that's the limit for files in IE. If your hdd is formatted as FAT32, you'll also encounter this same problem. Firefox should actually work, but since it apparently isn't for some, you'll have to stick to using a download manager. DAP, Fresh Download, IDM or FlashGet are all good examples of decent download managers to use (and no, Firefox's inbuilt download agent is not a 'true' download manager, so stick to external apps like those I just mentioned).
In any case, using a download manager circumvents all these problems.
#356 - Alyx slows the game down. - Posted by: Sloan21603 (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 05:30
@Hunter1942
"The new Alyx models. Woa as me... this is horrible. The best part of the FakeFactory pack (that used to run great on XP) is ruined! When ever she is in view it drops to about 5 fps. When she is out of view I'm up into the high numbers. I guess I will have to use the hi-res reskins of the original until this is fixed."
I have the exact same problem, the game runs fine but as soon as Alyx appears the frame rate just dies. Have you been able to fix this issue?
#357 - I can't say I have... - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 06:45
@Sloan21603
I can't say i've fixed the problem. Apparently our PCs can't handle the high polygon count on the new Alyx models. Which means that we are going to run into MAJOR problems when he releases the new pack with the new citizen models and stuff.
What are your system specs?
#358 - Posted by: Sloan21603 (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 09:36
My system is pretty poor:
Asus A8N-E
Athlon 64 3200+
X800XL 256Mb
2Gb RAM
X-Fi XtremeMusic
Vista
How many polygons does the Alyx model have?
#359 - Posted by: Sloan21603 (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 10:39
I just found out I get the same insane stutter effect even when Barney is on the screen. I'm starting to think it's Vista that's giving me all the trouble as I've had an odd stuttering problem in all my games since I installed the OS. I'll get a bigger HDD soon and Vista can beat it until I get my new machine.
#360 - Posted by: Hunter1942 (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 12:58
Yeah, Vista is probably the problem. I think your PC would handle the game just fine with XP.
Now that I changed from Vista back to XP it runs a lot better, Vista uses to much memory in the background.
I'll wait until SP1 comes out for Vista, then I'll give it another shot. It's supposed to come out around November this year.
#361 - Posted by: Lolinator (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 14:02
this is really awesome! I'm downloading it right now... its at 81% so far
only 2hr's to go hope my computer doesn't crash or something, did I mention this is awesome
#362 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 16:45
@all:
Stuttering with Alyx in view is in most cases the reached polyfill limit of your gfx card. i can handle the newest hr-models on 1920 x 1200 with nearly no framedrops - but this with Geforce 8800. With the new version i will update the minimum system requirements to 3 GB ram and ATI1900/Geforce7950. All below that will see stuttering, but believe me when i say, the new models in motion are beating even crysis's character quality.
About vista: After weeks of support emails with valve i came to the conclusion: Vista is a POS. i'm sorry for all the vista-only users, but this os has serious problems. Even valve told me, vista isn't ready for source-engine (or vice versa... depends of the point of view)

How much do you have FF, 4 GB?
#366 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 18:49
He probably has like what 2 alienware PC's hold. He has some serious hardware. Like those pictures are ALL downscaled.
I wonder if any 4.0 mod owners can do me a favor. It's nothing special, I just need to know if you can set "-dxlevel 80" or "81" without the quotes in the launch box for 4.0 and everything in game runs correctly with the proper textures and stuff like that. I don't want to waste two or three hours of downloading practically 4 GBs and then have to delete them because they won't run. For now, all I need to know is that. The PC specs of your system do not really matter, I just want to know if a lower direct X level will work and I can test run it myself from there.
Thank you.
Oh, by the way Fakefactory, the requirements are steep, but in a year or two almost all computers will have that type of stuff, lots of RAM, DX 10 video cards, and Quad Core Processors, so although your requirements are steep, they are pointed towards the future. That's good, because I'm probably updating around that time.
#367 - Posted by: brenthanial (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 19:53
Looks great man.
Can't wait to see what else you've got coming. Keep the screens coming!
Yeah the requirements are steep...my X1650 pro (601 core speed) can run regular hl2 maxed out 70-80 fps, with this (on maxed settings) i get some crazy sticking and stuttering. So I will probably end up turning aa off and tooling with water/light settings...dont want to mess with textures/models since thats what this is all about.
But yeah, can't wait for the next release. Have you thought growing this mod out? It would be neat to add new weapons, and if you can model you should be good to go.
Just an idea.
#368 - Posted by: MonkeyShine (Member) on 06-20-2007 at 21:38
Man those future urban camo textures are amazing! A very nice touch. I also like the new "Major Kusanagi" Alyx replacement. I love the twist on the characters. Don't listen to the naysayers, try crazy things, it makes the mod yet more appealing.

Hey FakeFactory Love the mod, Finally got a good enough PC to finally try it out! Anyway Im a Beta tester on *shameless plug* Follow Freeman (www.mercilessdevelopment.com) Its a HL2 Mod that converts the HL2 Singleplayer story into Co-op. Anyway I would like to create a guide on how to (hopefully) get Cinematic Mod into Follow freeman and I would like to talk to you one on one either via Email or IM if thats ok with you. Since I have a very good feeling that you do not want to give out your contact info on here as im sure you would be bombarded with friends, features and help requests. Heres mine:

#380 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 06-22-2007 at 09:19
Hey fake if you can, and could probably, just add in the medic .vmt for the vest tell it the surface properties are metal, the medic can still be stricken down though, but it will have sparks and blood when shot.
#381 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 06-22-2007 at 09:22
Sorry for the double post, but I was thinking, since you could replace a model in a map with the map add commands, I was thinking about the rebel who ist stuck on the sand and gets killed by antlions, it would be cool to have him with wounds on him from the antlions.
#382 - Posted by: brenthanial (Member) on 06-22-2007 at 11:40
@DaFox
Not that this helps you know, but just so you know I'm pretty sure you can send anyone on the filefront network an email. Just click on their name and a window with the proper forms should open. Would be a preferable way of exchanging emails and IM names as opposed to posting yours on an open board as well.
#383 - Posted by: whitey5150 (Member) on 06-22-2007 at 16:33
HecklerStev making sparks wouldnt make sence bulletproof vests are made of kevlar a type of plastic.
#384 - Posted by: brenthanial (Member) on 06-22-2007 at 16:44
Yeah kevlar doesn't make sparks. Generally speaking most metals are way too heavy to be used collectively as body armor. And Kevlar is a synthetic fiber.
Though it would be neat to toy with material settings. I am sure the combine are using a different, stronger, lighter (they have thick armor but it doesn't slow them down - it must be extremely light) material.
Just to give some input, I don't really like the female rebel fighter outfit. Not so much that I am a fan of the traditional style, but I just think it doesn't look right. Play with the texture or change it up a bit but something is off with that armor. I assume its supposed to be some sort of kevlar laced jumpsuit? I dont know. Perhaps give it seams (think splinter cell) and variation...I don't mean make it black but being perfectly flat doesn't fit with the texture you currently have on it.
Also (and again just to give useful criticism), Alyx's nose looks a bit off, sorta "piggish". I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from so I don't feel the need to explain. Also, almost all the female noses look identical in the past few screens...I hope you plan on some variation.
#385 - Posted by: westergas (Member) on 06-22-2007 at 18:40
Fakefactory, the models look very impressing indeed. The only comment I can make is that Alyx doen't look quite like Alyx anymore. Other than that...amazing .
Oh...and I *am* buying more ram if I have to to play the next update smoothly. I'm totally hooked on your mod, thaks a lot!

How can I expect to run CM v4.5 and CM v4 with this configuration?
Windows XP
Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 4MB/2.13GHz/1066 MHZ

#388 - Posted by: SnakeFront (Member) on 06-23-2007 at 03:57
westergas ,
That's because the model seen in the recent images upload by FFactory is based on Adriana Lima. Google Image search if you don't know who she is.

#390 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 06-23-2007 at 09:02
@ whitey5150
Have you noticed that they don't exactly have kevlar in this time? They probably just use metal plates if they had the chance.
#391 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 06-23-2007 at 15:32
Kr4k3n, for V4.0, you should be able to run the game just fine. As long as you are using at least 1280x1024 screen resolution. Make sure your moniter can run that. And either card will run the mod just fine.
But for 4.5...The requirements are the following:
With the new version i will update the minimum system requirements to 3 GB ram and ATI1900/Geforce7950. All below that will see stuttering, but believe me when i say, the new models in motion are beating even crysis's character quality.
He meant an ATI X1900 I'm sure.
#392 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 06-23-2007 at 15:34
Sorry for the double post but the request I was requesting people to do no longer is in need, thanks for nothing. Haha. I got sick of waiting and downloaded the mod, ran it at DX 8.1 and it runs nice and smooth. A few graphical problems with 8.1 but nothing I can't handle.

I'm not a fan for the new rebel suit, rebels are suppose to have salvaged things from the combine, like Metro Suits, I don't think the rebels would have the resources for stuff like that.

I really like what you've done with the citizen models. They look more repressed and destitute since the Combine just converted old secondhand pre-war clothes rather than making new uniforms for them.
Also it's good to see you've gone the "construction kit" route with Mossman, and with hopefully more to follow.
Since you know a thing or two about scripting, any chance we might get a sort of "randomizer" for the citizens so that they speak their lines and talk to each other in combat. Like the banter between the scientists and guards in the original Half-Life?
#410 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 07-01-2007 at 13:18
Wow, the new screenshots are cool! I like the antlion guard, looks almost real at some aspects in the light, is it a new model, looks rounder.

#413 - Version 4.5 - Posted by: Darth_Ajax (Member) on 07-02-2007 at 03:47
FakeFactory, I would just like to say that I love your mods, and I look forward to DLing Version 4...as soon as I upgrade my PC.
However, I'm not liking your newest iteration...perhaps if you had a whole model construction kit, where you could select which types of outfits you want the citizens to wear, what version of Eli, Kleiner, Gregori, etc. you would use, and so on. I know that'd be a lot of work, but it would keep more people happy than the radical changes you seem to be putting into the new mod.
You are a god among HL2 fans, and I can only hope that you keep up the work...I plan on seeing what you have in store after Episode 2 is released...HL2 with Source 3 would look amazing, especially with the high-resolution models you give to us.

#416 - Posted by: lightstryke (Member) on 07-05-2007 at 14:42
Everything works fine, except the models zip is corrupt....
#417 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 07-05-2007 at 19:04
The new models will be released as an Option-pack for CM4. The look is so radicaly changed, therefore i guess its better *not* to build a normal update with this stuff.
I would love to say, i'm ready to release, but i'm still not satisfied with most of the models, so you have to wait - sorry.
#418 - Posted by: Flodgy (Member) on 07-06-2007 at 06:58
Heya FakeFactory,
Downloading this now! I'm still using the old original mod! Guess that's what happens when you go on leave for a long time. :/
Looks magnificent and I can't wait to get the update. Cheers!

Amazing work fackfactory. I've been a follower for a while, just never posted, any chance we will get to see some of the skills invested in some of the other enviroment textures ie: Parallaxing. Some of the old textures in Keiners Lab are acheing to be redone.
Keep up the great work.

how is the gmod thing going to work will it boost all the graphics or just add high-def caracters?
#422 - Posted by: veteran_gamer (Member) on 07-10-2007 at 10:48
just reinstalled hl2 recently and i've got to say this compliments the latest release of SMODTCL 4 quite nicely. as for the 4.5 requirements, i find it a bit offense that it'll require 3 of my 4 gigs of ram. am i supposed to create a -heapsize 3072000 launch cmd for that? also, how much vram are those normal mps going to suck down, 3 gigs of system ram and 900mb + vram? i guess we'll see.
the dreadlocks look nice, clean cut styles will be great for intro/non combat population. that corpse/zombie/anna nicole smith d1town shot looked good too, nice & decayed, like micheal jacksons nose. howver the asian/white/anything but dark skinned alex is not cuttin it for me, good thing there's variety to choose from. she looks like those "facesofmeth" pictures. maybe tanned it might work. the asian version looks a bit like the intro to menace 2 society, "you no buy, get out". also that rebel chick looked good, perhaps you can create a squad leader npc every few flocks of citizens for immersion. if every rebel was equipped like her, we wouldnt have much of a problem now would we. breen would have had a tv show equivelant to dr phil at best in that scenario.
i look forward to seeing hordes of whiners outraged with your new spec requirements release life's tension onto your next release thread. i enjoy these things you see. i can already see the admins banning direct assaults and removing excessive cussing posts. mid-low end users saying you have 0 skills and that you need to get a life. fan boys praising your work and desperately but politely asking for meaningless endless requests to change features or add detail to soda cans, checking every day in hopes of a reply.
campers all of them.
thanks for sharing. 10/10
p.s. HEY FAKEFACTORY HOW DO I USE THIS WITH GMOD V9 AND DO YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE THE CROWS EYES A BIT MORE DETAILED THEY LOOK BLURRY WHEN I GET CLOSE TO THEM.
#423 - Question - Posted by: Gordon911 (Member) on 07-10-2007 at 12:11
I want to use the "original" Alyx, not edited in any way. What stuff do I have to delete?
Thanks.
#424 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 07-10-2007 at 19:18
@Gordon911:
To get the old alyx, remove all files inside the "maps" directory and inside "materials/models/alyx" - and start a new chapter.
@whitey5150:
Can't anything say about the gmod pack, because gmod can't handle the new face flexes. Gmod's faceposer is going a very weird way in scanning the model files for flex-controllers (*not* the official valve way)
@veteran_gamer
You can't imagine, what kind of hate-mails i get every day. But this isn't touching me. Dumb mails from dumb people.
By the way... don't touch the heapsize command. the heap space holds budget datas and indices, not texturedata or meches. Therefore you don't need a big heapspace. Aa big heapspace is grabbing valuable ram for nothing. It's evil.
#425 - Posted by: HecklerStev (Member) on 07-10-2007 at 21:56
Yay! I am glad you continue your work through the hate mails, I mean if they don't like it don't get it, it is just that simple.

#427 - Amazing! - Posted by: Phelaidar (Member) on 07-11-2007 at 17:20
Fake, I download your mod since the first version and it only gets better!
Amazing work! Can't wait for the update!
Just one thing, when alyx speaks, her mouth doesn't move right, it's like she injected botox, does it look like that or can I do something to fix it?
Btw, I have the original HL2, but since I hate steam, I just extract the files and play it the "ilegal" way.
Doc. Kleiner's neck is not glued to the rest of the body... Is it because of that?
thanks and keep up the amazing work no matter what those haters said! Because of you it's nice to play this game again and again!
#428 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 07-12-2007 at 09:37
@Phelaidar
The new model will be much better with lipsynced flexes.
Kleiners neck should be allright - it is *not* remodelled in V4. Please post a screenshot.
#429 - Posted by: Phelaidar (Member) on 07-12-2007 at 14:13
I'll post as soon as I get home.
Btw, the new pics are fantastic.
Breen sure looks different, but he looks great! Not that round-face breen valve used.
He looks way better.
Are you thinking of implementing parallax effects on the mod?

I tried this, when I cleared everything from the "Maps" folder in SourceModsFAKE FACTORY CINEMATICmaps section, I then delete the Alyx skins in the Alyx folder in the section... SourceModsFAKE FACTORY CINEMATICmaterialsmodels/Alyx, then I try to start a new chapter in new game... it brings me back to the main menu.
Now what did I do wrong?
#431 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 07-15-2007 at 15:38
In that first screenshot from post #428 (428!), look at the wall underneath the windows. Just wanted to point out that it looks a little lower quality for the moment. I'm not sure if this was just something that you have not yet gotten into or if you just missed it.
I finished HL2, which was incredible. I'm now on Episode One, the mod is overall good, but I have been forced to run it in DX 9 for the time being. I ran an Alyx model with sweat, and you get a problem when running on a lower DX level with a character sweating. And it looks like you ran Alyx's original Valve model with sweat and now I have to run on DX 9. With my older hardware it is a little harder to run, but up until I stopped because of low framerate (a little early in City Flight) it ran surprisingly nice.

#438 - Posted by: justaclone2 (Member) on 07-20-2007 at 09:44
Big file probably, maybe a bad server. I just recommend starting the download and then leaving the PC alone, shut all online stuff off that can be turned off. If you wait a while, it should jump up to rates like you mentioned. It just fluctuates.

#444 - Posted by: brenthanial (Member) on 07-24-2007 at 20:50
yeah just search google for gmod hd spinoff, you will find a link in another language, follow the links and eventually you will get to an english forum with 3 rapidshare download links (for all 3 parts).
If you look through the thread you will find this link:
which hypothetically would be way better than the rapidhshare links, but its not working for me right now so who knows.
#445 - oops - Posted by: bigcman321 (Member) on 07-24-2007 at 21:11
sorry it's not the complete gmod pack because some of them are not complete or unfinished. It does include a certain alyx that I'm sure most of you guys will enjoy but the first model I opened was of breen and it was all still a work in progress... I was like nooooo! but it's something nice to enjoy while waiting for the complete gmod pack. Oh and the pack I mentioned earlier does not include spawncodes.
#446 - Posted by: brenthanial (Member) on 07-24-2007 at 21:21
Gmod 10 users dont need to worry about that though. And replacing the characters in the gmod9 spawn isn't too difficult, you just have to rename the lines in the spawn code to use the models you want.

@hackymc
1. When comes V4.5?
Never. V4.5 is now a Optionpack. Releasedate... hm... don't know. Too much work left.
2. Is V4.5 only a ultrahi-res modelpackage for v4.0 or a complete new CM?
Its more a model package, but with some new textures as well.
3. Do the models of alyx from V4.5 work with the ack?
With the option pack comes the brand new Construction Kit. The new version will allow you to build your own libraries ans has some new features... so secret, i cannot tell you
4. Will there be the nudeskin from the GMOD Hi-res package?
Yes, it will contain the final version of the nude skin. (Don't know where a nude alkyx fits into hl2-singleplayer, but i got tons of mails about the nude model. So i will satisfy all the horny people out there)

#468 - Posted by: ADE_1 (Member) on 08-10-2007 at 18:05
So, tried this mod about 2 months or so ago on my Vista pc (had used the previous mods on my XP pc without any problems) and just wouldn't run. Mostly black screen and moving along at about 1 FPS. The Vista hotfix didn't work either so I had to uninstall. Anyway, after numerous driver updates from nVidia (running an 8800GTX), updates from MS inc. the new 2 "major" update fixes, Creative drivers (using an X-Fi) and maybe some Source engine updates I finally decided to try and install again today. Well, it now runs like butter (1680x1050). Looks and sounds absolutely amazing. Everything is so smooth. Smoother than the previous mods on XP. However, during some level loads I would get "hl2.exe has stopped working". So, I check some forums and apparently one problem can be from codecs in particular ffdshow. I added "hl2.exe" to the excluded list within ffdshow settings and since then, fingers crossed, no more crashes. Played for 2 hours solid today no problem. So, after all the updates to date, looks like Vista is finally up to the challenge of playing this mod. Nice work FakeFactory.

#470 - Posted by: ADE_1 (Member) on 08-11-2007 at 18:13
Hi Furt.
Sorry to hear that. As I mentioned in my post, I have no idea if it's one update or a culmination of updates that allows me to play this now on Vista. Like today, played for 6 hours solid without one crash. I've got 2gb ram, AMD FX-60@2.85ghz and an 8800 GTX OC2 but I had those when I tried a couple of months ago. Have you downloaded and insatlled the 2 "major" updates from MS (KB938194 & KB938979)? I also installed the KB940105 hotfix which addresses memory management within games in Vista 32-bit. I have no idea if these updates fix my problem as I didn't try it before I installed them. Hope you get it working soon.
#471 - Posted by: Furt (Member) on 08-11-2007 at 22:12
Thanks for the help ADE_1 though I can't find a place to download KB940105 anywhere, not even Microsoft's website. I had to use google to find this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940105 (wasn't able to find it using the search in Microsoft.com) but that doesn't have a download link. I have the other 2 updates already installed.

I've got an annoying problem.
Just recently the mod just doesnt want to start anymore.
I double-click to the mod, the loading screen comes up on the desktop, the bar on the taskbar comes up with the little hl2 symbol, and the mouse disappears as it is about to start, but then it disappears and then nothing happens.
Ive tried to uninstall the mod and re-install, but no luck.
I don't know why but the Episode 1 verison of the mod works fine though.
Any Ideas?

After installing the 163.11 beta drivers and KB940105 I don't get anymore FPS problems but it crashes sometimes saying "hl2.exe has stopped working". In a earlier post you said adding hl2.exe to excluded in ffdshow, how do I run ffdshow? I can't find it anywhere.

Furt
Sorry for delay - been away. Glad those drivers and that MS Hotfix solved your FSP problems. Yeah I got those level load crashes quite alot when I started HL2 again from the beginning - not sure if you have ffdshow installed or not. I have it because I use the Vista Codecs Pack and it's installed through that. So if you haven't installed any codec packs then you may not have it on your pc. Glad Fake's Vista Hotfix helped though - I haven't had any need to use it. Went all the way through HL2 without any crashes and have now started EP1 again and so far so good.
PS. MANY THANKS FAKE FOR THIS GREAT MOD. HL2 WILL HAVE BEEN OUT 3 YEARS IN NOV AND TO SAY I'VE JUST PLAYED THROUGH IT AGAIN IS TESTIMENT TO NOT ONLY A GREAT GAME BUT ALSO WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO KEEP US KEEP ON PLAYING IT.

#510 - Music Volume and Missing Water - Posted by: zytrex (Member) on 08-30-2007 at 19:42
Love the mod, just a few issues I noticed.
Music: I love your music choices. When I was playing the first version of this mod, I would set the music at full volume and the game at around half. That way when the music kicked in, it was mostly that I was hearing. With V4, it seems like the music volume is controlled by the game volume slider, and the music volume slider doesn't do anything.
Water: In the Route Canal chapter, in a few areas where there should be water/sludge puddles on the ground, there is only the ground texture. When you walk around you hear the sound of the water, but there is none there.

Anyone else have spotty wound decals on NPC's with v 4.0? Ii'm not getting consistent wounds on enemies, - maybe only 10% of enemy models seem to accept decals, and usually only from the crowbar at that. Which gore .cfg switch affects decals specifically? the mod's .cfg gore settings are all at 1.

#522 - Vista crashes fix? - Posted by: Volksgeist (Member) on 09-10-2007 at 02:11
I'm not sure if this actually works or not. But after getting a notice from the company of heroes beta about a hotfix for vista I installed it and checked to see if it fixed the constant crashes I would get in CM. Apparently it did, I played through all of Ravenholm without it crashing on me once. Here's the link for the hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940105

Wow thanks for that This was unplayable for me before but I installed that hotfix and can play it maxed out without a single problem now. Glad I decided to not uninstall this just because I couldn't play it at the time since having to download it again would have sucked

#529 - Rar won't extract properly - Posted by: TehJace (Member) on 10-09-2007 at 09:56
hey Fakefactory (or anyone for that matter) whenever I try to open the cm4full.rar file, it basically says it's corrupted. In ALzip, it just doesn't show an exe or whatever to extract, and in winrar it says unexpected end of archive. I have downloaded the file -several- times and each time have received the error. Any idea what's wrong or where I might locate a zip version?
(the only files I can find in it are: INSTALLER> CinematicHL2 (and EP 1, yet i don't have that) yet the HL2 folder only has materials, bin_maps, german_sound, and alyx construct kit in it. weird huh?)
#530 - Posted by: Bacons (Member) on 10-09-2007 at 14:13
Yeah, I have the exact same problem. It seems like when I download it, it downloads negative percent. (i.e. -150%)
#531 - Posted by: Bacons (Member) on 10-09-2007 at 14:15
Sorry for 2x posts, but I'm fairly sure that Filefronts link is corrupted. Is there any other link out there?

Which fakefactory to download, whats the difference with this one and the v4 with option pack 1?
#534 - Posted by: Pacha_fr (Member) on 10-11-2007 at 19:16
one single word : GORGEOUS
A real new way to play the game, the added scenes are very well integrated, it looks like it have been made by valve itself.
New sounds and musics suit very well to each situation, same musical effect of immersion as in a good film.
New skins and hi-res textures are wonderful, the whole game is changed, but just stays original, it's like if you could have been able to activate an Ultra High graphics settings in the original game.
I was affraid of the risk of seeing a huge change from the genuine game, and worried about discovering a crappy fully modded version with plenty of unwanted things valve would never have incorporated to HL2, but I think that everyone who can give a try to this mod will tell you that they would have prefered to play the game this way at the first time, at least it's my opinion about that.
Hell the 3.2Go to download and the 5.2Go installed are HUGE, but I now understand why. It's really worth downloading and giving it a try.
@ FakeFactory : I really wonder how can you handle working on your own on so many things, you have almost reworked all the media content of the game?! That's incredible! Thank you for having released so many improvements, I would have loved Valve have done your job if you did not.
#535 - Doesn't work for some reason - Posted by: Tacticsniper815 (Member) on 10-16-2007 at 19:31

#536 - Cannot start CinMod V4, but CinMod V4 EP1 works great - Posted by: CooperXS (Member) on 10-17-2007 at 18:06
I've recently installed HL2 and EP1 via Steam. Decided to pack the game with nice looks. Installed per ReadMe file: turned off Steam, ran installation file, restarted Steam, tried to launch CinMod V4 but after short period of loading the game (well the screnresolution just changed to default in-game one ) and then back to desktop
CinMod V4 EP1 starts and works perfectly fine.
I have completed HL2 game, but never played EP1 before installing the mod.
Can anyone please help me ???
#537 - PS - Posted by: CooperXS (Member) on 10-17-2007 at 18:12
Basically I have the same issue as DemonWolf95 in post #473
#538 - Posted by: FAKEFACTORY (Member) on 10-18-2007 at 01:42
Looks like the intro movie gives you trouble. Search for the file "startupVids.txt" in the mods (HL2 part) media folder and delete the line "media/INTRO.wmv"
#539 - Download not possible - Posted by: Mad_Flo (Member) on 10-18-2007 at 09:07
Hi, i have a question about this file! Is it possible to share that file in 2 parts? Because my pc works on a fat32 filesystem, so its not possible to dl because it not allowed more then 2 gb to dl. So please fakefactory, please create a double dl, i wanna that file so much, it looks so nice.
#540 - Posted by: HornyToad (Member) on 10-20-2007 at 21:28
fat32? what do you use for an os ? if its windows xp or vista you can convert your file system easily like this :
START MENU => RUN...
type CMD and press enter or click ok
a command line window will appear
just type : convert c: /fs:ntfs
answer the prompts and reboot if/when asked.
Let it work, it can take up to an hour or more to convert to ntfs from fat32, after that you can use files bigger than 2gigs.
#541 - Posted by: Sobbsy (Member) on 10-21-2007 at 22:50
Hang on a tic... There are added 'scenes'? I thought while replaying a while back that I was doing a few things that weren't the same as the stock game, but I just chalked it up to a dodgy memory of events...

almost done with hl2 mod and looks amazing so far...cant wait to see the next version!
one quick question/bug
all the mounted machine guns from the first one i encounter on the airboat levels up till now in follow freeman seem to fire but do no damage, and no bullets appear to come out. either when the combine or myself uses them
is this a side effect of you altering the weapons realism or a bug? i dont see anything on the readme
#547 - Posted by: Fluorescent523 (Member) on 12-22-2007 at 15:41
but seriously you should be hired at valve, you do awesome work and it beats all others. you are the best, we should all make a friggin cult to worship him and his rusty skins. oh yes oh yes he is indeed a friggin god. what a prince. haha, that was a joke.
im sorry but i prefer valve's textures because they arnt all rusty and look like it came out of the friggin trash. and i dont like super ultra space buzz lightyear galatic defender alyx. it looks like shes from star trek or some really crappy sci-fi movie in space.

I get the black screen on episode 2 also, I have updated all of my files. It did this with CM5 also. I can play the game, but I have to navigate the menus blind. There are also all kinds of graphical glitches once inside. My system Meets the requirements except for the 2.5gigs of ram (I have 2gigs even, but that shouldn't effect the menu systems right?) and I am on XP32 SP3 but otherwise, I have a pentium E 2160 OC'd to 3.0ghz and an 8800gt 512. All of the other games work flawlessly except for Ep2. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Everything is fine and looks great but the one thing that lets is down is the pure whiteness of the characters eyeballs. like its almost plastic doll looking eyes. no yellow or redness in there eyes at all. Clear eyes anyone? honestly thats the only thing that lets it down. I know it aint a big deal. but there eyes looks like a cartoon. and can tell that the character has no life behind there eyes. almost like they have no soul. empty look too them.
Thunderbirds are go!! look at em.. anyone else agree? they look like a puppet.
Now im not saying the whole mod is let down by this Its a great mod dont get me wrong. but is there any way to change this?

Hi there. I've played the whole first chapter without any problems, but then..
The last episode in canals - i shooted down heli, and every time it falls game crashes. Ok, map d1_eli_01 (first loc in east mesa) - crashes within 5-6 sec after loading, with looping sounds. After that i've tried to start new game from last episode in citadel - the same history, 5-6 sec after load, then looping sounds, crash. Have no idea, wtf.
It happens in all resolutions & video options, from 640x480 and lo-vid options, to my normal playing mode (1680x1050, everything max, except AA)
Have anyone idea, what can i perform, except to download cinematic mod v5 or newer?

#568 - This would be Cool - Posted by: fcotter (Member) on 12-28-2008 at 09:34
I love your mod. The graphics are amazing and I cannot believe tell how much detail you added to this mod. When I saw Alex I notice the detail in her hands, manicured nails, and the detail that was added to the hole in her knee/ pants. Amazing. Everything looks amazing.
But, this is just a though.
In Stalker CS a mod added gunsites to the pistols in the game so you could aim the guns. I forgot that HL2 didn't have that feature/ aiming/ and it would really add to the game. All the new games have this feature and it would make HL2,,, look and work like the new games coming out. Just something to thing about. Thanks for all the hard work, and so far the mod works great, I am in Ravenhome.
#569 - Setupexe - Posted by: fcotter (Member) on 12-28-2008 at 09:49
Just so some people know. You have to double click on the Zip file/cm4.fullrir/ first to open it. Do not extract anything from this file.
Then double click on Setupexe. It will then open and download the set up and guide you through the rest of the install.
If you extract the setupexe, from the zip file first, and then double click on it, you will not download all the files.
