[PaladinWOL]

who or what is X COM: Last Hope

[Gurluas2000]

what?? you got a beta blehm?

anyway lasthope is more and more dead...
i hope i can find a beta...for it would be a shame to see this mod die...without a release...even if its a buggy one

and x-com lasthope is an xcom mod for halflife1.

[ATeX]

why a Half-Life mod if we got Xenocide?

cheers,

Thomas

[j'ordos]

Maybe because we don't have Xenocide yet

[ATeX]

That's not what I meant. If you'd have to choose between putting effort in finding an xcom mod for a game that has been long gone, or working on a new stand-alone game, I choose the latter.

[j'ordos]

OK, if that's what you meant, I concur

[Vico_Surge]

Ok. In less than 10 minutes you'll have your copy of X-COM: Last Hope for Half Life, brace yourselves.

BRACE YOURSELVES! LOCK YOUR DAUGHTERS, TELL YOUR MOM, YOUR DAD, YOUR SON, YOUR NEPHEW, YOUR COUSIN, THE NEIGHBOR, CLOSE DOWN WINDOWS AND DOOR, LOCK UP THE DOG, DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE, KICK YOUR GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND OUT, BE ALONE IN YOUR DAMN ROOM BECAUSE AFTER A YEAR OR MORE AFTER THE BETA APPEARED IT WILL BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. REMEMBER PEOPLE TOOK THEIR TIME TO CONSTRUCT THIS SO DON'T STEAL shuckeroonies OR I'LL BE SURE TO HUNT YOU TO THE END OF THE EARTH.

Calma carnal que asi hablo yo. Nadie me puede quitar lo que por derecho es mio como Mexicano... el maldecir

Why is it an exe file... don't ask me. They made it like that so it unpacks in a folder and when you load Half Life it SHOULD work but we never got to test it with Steam so it's free for all. If you find any bugs then you are seriously and properly you-know-what-cuz-forum-won't-let-me-curse

[Gurluas2000]

it works both on won and steam i just tried it...
won is dead so...but it works on steam too lets get some servers up and running

[Vico_Surge]

It is but remember you have to download Steam and the lastest version of Half Life, which at the time was 1.1.1.0, to be able to play online. I don't know if they ever tried it using Steam but playing it with that version of Half-Life should work ok. Just don't bang the thing too much and don't change any of the codes. It's pretty erratic and seriously laggy at some points.

-Vico Surge

[Gurluas2000]

a bit hard to change the code...theres no source...however luckily they included the fgd so we can make our own maps.

After discussing this with Vico, yes this is the mod we've worked on - in the end the HL1 project more or less waved of death seeing as all our coders mysteriously vanished, and well - we could make tons of maps and models and such - but without adding more code its limited how far we could go.

As for the mod, it does include some fancy things (maps have the same feel as the old Xcom ) like flying armors, sectoids ect.

Vico was kind enough to ask me if it was okay to release it to the public, seeing as our current "remake" so to say (Borealisproject) will be aimed at a newer system (mainly because we got several coders), namely the hl2 engine, i see no reason why we cant release the hl1 edition as its not likely to be continued.

-Vej

[Gurluas2000]

nice to see you still around Vej
i thought you were gone...anyway thanks for releasing it:D
after 5 long years its in my hands:D

[Vej]

i never left the scene!
Aye, its been quite a bit of years (even longer for us makers who's been there from the start!) of producing, and quite some delays but though its still earlie beta, we wanted to give the people just a taste of the work.
Of course with a little luck, this will spike some interest for the "continuation" over at the borealis project (think i said it in the other thread, borealis project is not the new mod name but the group name, mod will still be Last Hope.).

[Vico_Surge]

You heard the man, give the borealis project a reason to be, and there might be a new Mod coming your way. Who knows, they migth even take the time to finish up what they started with HL:LH!

[Blood Angel]

It killed my computer. BSOD, and I had to get chkdsk out to boot up again.

[Vej]

@Blood Angel

Odd, we never encountered any of those problems on our end (and we did end up with the entire team, along with 20 beta testers) - so, so far your case is unique

@Gurlas - Glad you two enjoy it ^^

[Blood Angel]

It's probably my shitey computer.

[Gurluas2000]

it just crashes?

[Blood Angel]

It did that time. I've since tried it, the single player doesn't work properly (probably just my slow computer) and nobody was online playing.

[Gurluas2000]

if you host il play with you...and it doestn have singleplayer at all.

ya got msn?

Last Hope 1 is nothing compared to Last Hope2

[TimberDragon]

What do you mean it doesn't exist?

Last Hope 2 is already in production and has been for a while now.

[TimberDragon]

Enjoy.

[kafros]

Promising, at first sight at least...

[Madow]

Ooh, coolies!
Is there a website for this?
TimberDragon how come your just starting posting?

[Madow]

Wow, and Last Hope isn't even finished yet XD

[TimberDragon]

I guess its a bit of a grey area, because the new one is not really called Last Hope 2, i just call it that to make sure there is no confusion between the two.

The Half Life - Last Hope Package is finished as a mod for HL1, but the production continues as a mod for Half Life 2,
What was almost impossible for us to achieve has been made easier then ever in the new game. There was many coding Issues that just could not be over come using Half Life 1.

But the good thing is that a lot of the ship maps and stuff port over just fine and with new Hi-res textures they look much better then they ever did before. All the weapons will be re-modelled, as even my own skills have come a long way since i first made them (The ones i made anyway).

So i dont think it will be long before there is a playable demo of the new Mod

[Sporb]

ever thought of making those sorts of maps and guns for quake 3?

[TimberDragon]

I guess it would be simple enough, as they are all just generic models to start with

Just about any format can be converted to another format with enough persistants by why Quake 3?

anyone still around here?

More like no hope..... Gah, can somebody, please make a x-com mod and not talk until it is actually done? All the years of hype over last hope, for what?.....

[Gurluas2000]
