Still active?

can't get this running in vista

click start new game and then choose a difficulty but end up still in the main menu

if i click start new game -> training room it says 'starting server' or something then crashes

any ideas? have used the steam fix

Seems bullet volume was more of a factor than actual scariness; Dear esther was scary, ZP:S was not.

The enitre "what box?" attitude that has gone into making this mod, and the exceptional end result, is a credit to you all. You really ought to be proud.

Considering how 95% of modding today consists of reskins and 20-frags-a-minute FPS wank, you remind us all why it's so important; anyone with the vision can make something brilliant.

I actually thought the length was perfect. It's a "thing" (game doesn't suffice) to be enjoyed as a whole, more like a film than a game or a book. It's nearer a peice of music really; a journey through different moods with snatches of a story but so many gaps to work our imaginations.

Just =). For the whole thing. Apart from not realising what I was supposed to do at the start, this was fantastic. 9.8/10 :P

well when their website has a less stupid name, we'll see.

I'd sooner a game had an interesting story and novel gameplay than great graphics, although i read the words "mutant soldiers" and lost interest somewhat...

Excellent update. The peacemaker fits really well into the game dynamic, although i agree with the decision not to allow you to dual weild it. The reload animation is 10/10.

All i would say is in future updates you might like to lean towards making the feel of the game a bit grittier. All headshots should be instant kill except coachgun ones; rifles should be unweildy at close range but have no deviation fired from still with iron sights; and is it possible to punish arm hits with inability to dual weild, leg hits with stamina always at zero? How about allowing hits to the hand/weapon area to 'shoot it out of your hand'? I just feel being shot at should be much more unpleasant, to encourage the use of cover.

Remove or heavily revise the 'invincible on spawn' system. On some maps you can have some dude spawn next to you and shoot you square in the head even if you saw him and shot at him first because him drawing and firing a gun doesn't get rid of his invicibility! deselecting fists should remove it, if not remove it overall.

Also, presumably you're working on a "standoff" mode but a couple of other ideas:

+ "Gallery"; 6 targets, 6 bullets, everyone has their own gallery; score based on number hit/how fast

+ "Wanted: Dead or Alive"; asymetrical gameplay with desperados in an easily defensible building with windows, which vigilantes have to assault; small notoriety rewards for kills, large ones for "arrests" made by either punch kills or a new 'weapon' just labelled 'rope' or something which just saps health; so that a healthier target is much harder to take than an injured one; that has to be used at zero range. Desperados get extremely slow respawn (15-30s) and lose when all are dead simultaneously.

Great. Good luck, and if you set up a server that auto has bots in it I'll be sure to join and we'll soon see if we get a real game going =)

Great Mod, but can we please get an official server for each version?

I dread to think how many players have DLed, installed, gotten "No servers whatsoever online" and given up.

If you're still working on this, talk to some other mod groups and see if you can get some more guns that don't rely on half life/CS. I feel silly in such a detailed mod using a pulse rifle =)

Also, am i supposed to have enough money to become invincible in training mode?

And what are the controls for 'pick up weapon'? I don't see it listed.
