Perfect Dark...Source?

Post by IRG CommandoJoe »

The Source version of one of the best FPS games ever is 70% complete! Awesome...I just wish the developers would make a SP campaign though.

Muhahahaha! Finally, something to break my Battlefield 2 addiction with. I only played Perfect Dark and Goldeneye at my friends, in multiplayer matches. I can't wait to see how this TCs turn out.

If PD:source is a proper conversion, and not some 'lolz DRAGON MK2 nukular riffle' rubbish, I'll actually buy HL2 and waste my time patching/activating it. Perfect Dark is the best console shooter ever.

Downloading while you are asleep/away from your PC is a waste? Your time must be valuable indeed.

Shit, sorry, it's my fault AU has horribly slow, expensive broadband. Oh wait, no it isn't! And I've never got anything better to do with the staggeringly limited volume! Fuck off. Further, I regard activating HL2 as a waste of even a single second, since it sucks. I would only even ATTEMPT it if there was a good mod for the engine.

Download SMOD. Its about 20mb, and its the best mod I have played for any game thus far.
It's got an absolute fuckload of awesome weapons, bulletime, ridiculous amounts of gore, and many, many more enemies than vanilla HL2. :P

SMOD=?
What does it stand for? It's hl2 compatible, not hl1 only like the specialists, right?

Good God man, its not like pulling teeth. I installed HL2 and registered it (which is bullshit) in about five minutes. Patching Winter Assault to 1.41 on the other hand...

Well, the less said about that, the better.

My SMOD is in it's own directory called smod which is in 'c:\blah\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods' where blah is where ever you installed Steam to.

It'll then hopefully appear under the 'My Games' tab when you next run Steam. The version I got didn't have a English readme (it's Japanese I think) so here's some useful things I found in the config.cfg file, which is in the cfg directory within the smod directory (this file might not be there until after you've run the mod for the first time).
If you look through the file for this line:
npc_randomize_weapon "0"
change the 0 to 1 and the Combine and Rebels will get some of the new guns in the game at random, which makes things intresting, especially when they're armed with the SVD sniper rifle.
You can also set what guns they're randomly limited to, by fiddling with the lines below that one.
A bit further down the file you should see:
bullettimesim_bulletspeed "400"
With this and the lines below you can modify the effects of the bullet time, though seemingly not how fast it drains the auxillary power.
When you've loaded the mod up, you'll want to go to the options page to set up keys for bullet time and kick.

You'll probably want to enable the cheats too, so if you don't know what to do go have a look at Gamefaqs or similar.

Let me get this straight. Perfect Dark and GoldenEye using the Source engine on PC? For free? That reads like an orgasmic experience.

Yes, but don't soil yourself just yet. It could be months before either are playable.

So one would be able to download the game and just play it, or do you need something else?
