Yay, it's released!
I've noticed a nasty bug in the inventory panel. You can put the same item in the three extra "quick selection" slots. Probably an easy fix, but now you know!
But that has been there the whole time...
How is it a bug?
That's less of a bug and more of a feature, as all you're doing is simply binding the same item to 3 keys.
Now, if you had the same item in 3 of the inventory slots, then it might be a bug, unless you had several healing items.
Whoa awesome news, I've never had Hl1 on my steam account, and I was wishing this mod to be on Steam. And the best of all I don't need HL1 NOW :D
(buried)
No need for Hl1 if I recall. It is standalone now :)
piggies
Umm that's exactly what he/she said.
AI improvements?!? Holy ****! :D
holy **** indeed I just hope those OP chainsaw guys can at least be killed with the right amount of firepower this time >> hate how they are invincible.
It's been a long road, very impressive fellas.
even more screaming moron youtube vids incoming
Congrats guys!
The changes are great! I already found a couple of new scares.
And now, the fun begins again
Awsome game, and it's free, what's there not to like? Congratz!
Any plan on having a non-steam version of the Stand-alone available to download off of the site, or perhaps off Moddb or Indiedb?
Would be pretty great.
Considering they got a license from valve I doubt it.
Citations?
The fact that it's on Steam is enough proof. When something gets "greenlighted" means that they got a license from Valve to use the Goldsource engine.
You guys did a stellar job on the standalone Steam port, it's stable and runs well. Also congratulations on releasing it on Steam.
Nice it is released. Hoped for this to fix the "steam update ****** up everything" problem. Unfortunately no luck with this standalone version either. Trying to run it I get a dialog with "Unsupported registry type" (whatever this is supposed to mean). After a bunch of these dialogs another one with "Returned" and then CoF just dies. Looks like I'll never play CoF again. Tough luck...
EDIT: looks like a bug in the launcher. Have you changed the registry key formats since the mod? A new dialog says "SCREENWINDOWED" can not be written to the registry since valueKind does not match. What a mess :/
omg!
I've experienced a bug with the new update. I entered through a door in a hallway in the apartments of the first level and got teleported to a white void. I uploaded the screenshot to my steam profile:
Steamcommunity.com
I didn't happen to me again but it'd be nice if this was confirmed or otherwise elaborated on because I've never experienced/heard of this until now. Thanks.
I experienced another similar glitch. After killing the first boss, the screen remained white as the cutscene with the Doctor played out. When the cutscene finished, I teleported into a white void again. Here's a screen:

I'm also getting pretty significant screen tearing. Might just be something on my end, but there is no option to enable vertical sync, so it may be something of at least some note.
AWESOME! Gonna play it tomorrow as soon as I get back from school :D!
after getting hit by the car in the start and waking up in the alley the first door you go through crashes the game, any ideas why?/will there be a bug fix?
I hope that many multiplayer servers will start up :D
Is it just me or are the gun sounds not working?
i have steam on both my mac and win 7
i tried to install it on mac and it said its not available for this platform
while i will still b able to play it on my windows7 is there any chance it will come to mac for those users who only have osx
Congratulations on the release guys!
Gratz Dev Team :D
Good job.
Thank ******* lord! what took you so long? gonna play this baby right now to **** my pants in co-op!
Congratulations guys, you deserved it !
Congratulations!
YES YES YES!
Let's just hope Vavle redo's that update that messed up Half Life mods, otherwise I can't play AoM:DC again >:
One of my friends seems to be having a bug with this game, as he cannot progress past the first door that has a loading screen. His game apparently crashes/freezes.
I've also encountered errors of crashing, and one error where the screen turned completely white save for the viewmodel of the glock, and lagged a lot.
The mod version seemed to be a more stable build. However, it is nice that people are able to play CoF without owning HL1, which opens up a lot of opportunities for this game to become popular.

BUG REPORT for COF Administrators:
Installation type: COF Standalone (Steam)
Problem: Failure to load
Description: The game can't actually do anything but load into the 2D menu, even the 3D menu doesnt work. Whenever I select NEW GAME/3D MENU a loading bar appears, reaches somewhere around 40% and then just halts, and returns to the 2D menu, nothing happens.
System: Laptop, NVIDIA GT630M, Win7Pro64, 6GB RAM, i7 mobile.
Note: You should dump in AOMDC (raw) into a custom campaign, or maybe i'll use your SDK to remake it since it doesnt work in HL1 anymore.

I just shat my pants.
Awesome! I do not have Half-Life and they finally created a version where you don't need Half-Life! I'm in those apartments now, and it's scary as hell! Please make a version of Afraid of Monsters where you don't need Half-Life.
