Hello !

After this month of hard work on the upcoming mod, I wanted to let you know WHAT'S UP :
-The match system is working, you'll be able to organize wars between your friends and clans
-The arena mode is nearly ready, coming with his cousin "Clan Arena" (similar to LTS)
-The movement is done, everything is perfect now !
-The game comes with many customization features, but I won't say more until the release to let you guys discover it :>
-Some of the map are nearly done, Rayvex's map, a complete remake of a HLSP map is entering its final state during THIS weekend ! Srbo's "crossfire, from a quaker's eye" is getting better and BETTER, and Alley's most amazing map "unity" will come out when he will be able to finalize it, as he has much work outside the mod.

Let's talk about the maps,

We, the whole #HLDM-Pro@quakenet.org officially started the "Map Selection Phase".
The idea is simple. HLDM-Pro has a NEW gameplay, including incredibily fast and smooth movement, making the original Valve maps UNplayable in the game, unfortunately (Don't worry, they are being remade as I am writing this new, by our Mapping team). That's why we started to check over the whole web, including the most advanced and old map showcase websites, to pick the maps that CAN be adapted to HLDM-Pro's gameplay, to complete its set of complete maps. I and the gameplay-making team will remake the whole entities there.

For now, 5 maps have been selected:
dabo.bsp (pre-final version)
5_5castleV2.bsp
thantos.bsp (thanks The Snark Pit)
twin.bsp
dm_sectora.bsp


We are including -of course- a text file with the whole mapping credits for external maps, and a link to their personnal work and / or website.

Oh and I forgot to add that if you think you HAVE the capabilities and the knowledge required in mapping and gameplay making to create maps for the mod, feel free to contact me.

Good evening HLDM-Pro community

-Ramp jumps
-Nade jumps
-Climbing (basejump)
-Bunnyhopping

All theese using the new Quake 2 physics in HLDM-Pro

Elite reporting in'

I'm done with the player-physics code, it is now 100% operational, yes, you heard right, we will now have Quake2's physics in HL1 (but still HL1's air control, don't worry)

Let me explain you a bit why.
Quake 2 physics are :
Faster in calculation
Smoother
Adds some more movement (rampjumps, smooth rampslide, boxclimb, basejump)
Improves shot registration as the server has to do LESS calculations (the test team tested it, and even in a listenserver the reg was really nice, I even tested it with my ♥♥♥♥ isp :>)

See you soon, movie coming tonight
