You need to crouch at the top of the ladder.

And it's officially out on Steam now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1274450/Bear_Party_Adventure/

In general alphatested materials should have AllowAlphaToCoverage to 1 as well, this might fix your disappearing textures issues. Keep in mind it's either translucent or alphatest, not both. Don't be like valve, keep them separate. Otherwise you'll get the worst of both worlds and your alphatested foliage/chainlinks will show through smokes.

That texture probably isn't alphatested so it's not going to cast shadows. Copy the VMT and change "translucent" to "alphatest".

First walkthrough is up. You'll get a good idea of the mod, but spoiler heavy of course!

Hi I have been working on this weird ass source mod for over a year now. It's mostly complete (some assets needs to be redone, need voice recordings as well), so I'm releasing it now to get feedback. It's a full singleplayer campaign with 5 maps, fairly long (between 1 to 2 hours), with custom mechanics, weapons and enemies. There's a few cutscenes and some story, some puzzle and parkour, but it's mostly a lot of bunnyhopping around and blowing up carebears. Go play it and (hopefully) post feedback here!

Pretty sure this is intended by Valve. HL2 (even HL1 iirc) had camera height interpolation in stairs back in 2004. Even CS:S might have it. All of these "stiff movements" you talk about are the reason I stick to source games after all these years. Which I guess was your point... extremely hard for Valve to change anything. But I wouldn't want it any other way.

That looks cool, but also REALLY dark. The contrast is completely fucked here https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/MAUY0XFtFb8re6df2lJuBw1WBcMW91j_FhBYjAHKakb96mkOtMC87TrB3gv4sUKsAGeYhQXwnxVOs6USNXIXNifdwev2s4d7E2eqerxrM_Sn8tl2Ykf0UJkNrcTACygSSACcu2mu This is a desert with no clouds, it's supposed to be super bright, yet the blacks are clipping like crazy. This kill most of your detailling.

LOL who cares.

Today I started my dream job as a graphics programmer for Arkane Studios \o/

Just finished this the other day, got the true ending. 16 hours for both campaigns according to steam. It was pretty cool! Loved it. Would recommend. It was my first Resident Evil game as well. Nothing too severe though, these are small nitpicks and mostly come to preference. Really loved the survival horror gameplay and how the zombies react to bullets and such. It was really well thought out and balanced. Good balance between "I'm fucked pls help me" and "alright, I'm gonna use this item here and free up a slot, then move unto here and do this, then backtrack and pick up this, and...".

Tried picking both water brush to the same cubemap?

Very relaxing! Lovely skybox. Have some feedback: - The skybox transition can be seen very clearly because of the texture mis-alignement. To fix that, add a sky_camera on the origin, then select it and your water brush, enable texture scale lock and texture lock, copy it and scale by 1/16. Then disable texture scale lock and re-scale your water brush as needed. This should fix any seams. - I think the danger zone update added functionality to reflect stuff on skybox water right? That would be cool. - The grass is super aliased, not sure why. I can definitely see this being a big problem in an awp map as it's quite distracting. Make sure mip-maps are built and enable $allowalphatocoverage, if possible. Same thing for trees. Maybe rework your colors/contrast as well. - Some light pink/orange directionnal fog oriented toward the sun might look cool, not sure if that's already the case. - Soundscapes could use more work. - Some shells on the beach and a yacht in the skybox would be tight af.

Just played through this, and the overall quality was very good! Loved the combats. There's a few issues here and here but nothing too severe. Good job!

Been following this for a while. Looks awesome so far! Although I really hope the FOV can be increased and the HUD simplified.

That bit from HL2. I don't think I've felt legitimate vertigo since that one.

The red building is a symptom of another problem imho. The entire map lacks color, so when flashy colors are used it looks jarring. Same way the balloons looks out of place 1 screen above. I don't think the lack of color is a problem since it fits the theme somewhat, but if more saturated colors were used it would look more coherent imho. Just a thought. I like that bloody building either way.

You can make your own surfaceprop (in a mod at least, it doesn't work when packed in a map). Not only it varies between different branches, but also between different games and mods. It tells which sound to make when shot and stepped on, and also control the penetration value of surfaces in CS:GO. Also some other cool stuff like friction and jump height. At any rate you shouldn't need to use something other than the usual wood/concrete/metal/dirt/plastic etc, which can be found everywhere.

Prodigy? Looks great BTW, I think the skybox could use a bit more love. Although, scottish weather isn't exactly lovely so that could count as a plus.

Man what a cool movie that was. If the prospect of Nicolas Cage forging an axe doesn't excite you then I don't know what will.

got you covered fam https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-2-classic

aw yeeee great contest EDIT: I forgot to mention and now I feel bad I'd like to thanks @kikette for his awesome texture work The map wouldn't have looked that cute without him! Check out his artstation https://www.artstation.com/kikette

Can't play this. It crashes after a few seconds in the car. EDIT: nevermind, changed windowed fullscreen to fullscreen and it works. That was rather short, but interesting.
