Thanks for the videos quadrazid. I’ve recorded some demos of stuff that might be interesting now, but I don’t know how to record it. I’m using NGHL to run GMC and I can’t get HLAE to work. I’ve read that you need to have the steam version of HL to get HLAE to work, does that mean that I have to buy and install the steam version of HL and install GMC again in that folder?

Yes, you would need to buy the Steam version I believe. There’s a Gunman To Steam mod that you can then install, which you would then need to convert the demos to the newer version using HLAE’s demo tools.

I installed the GMC to steam mod for NGHL before recording all the demos, do I still need to convert to demos to a newer version?

Yes, because those demos are made on HL 1.1.2.0 Protocol 47, and you have to convert them to Protocol 48 using HLAE’s Demo converter to play them on HL 1.1.2.2 (Steam)

You could use MovieNation’s No-Steam HLAE if you want, but it’s a very old version and doesn’t have the features HLAE has right now, like a cvar to stop recording on demo playback stop.

Download a [pirated full version of Fraps](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9297051/HL/Fraps%20v3.5.9%20full.rar) and you’re ready to go.

I don’t get the HLAE obsession. It just a waste of time unless you want to capture at really high resolutiuon/fps and/or sampling. In all other cases I would prefer Fraps or a similar program.

I disagree. I think it should be rewritten without recommendations and only tell ups and downs. Take my Opposing Force 19:23 run for example. 720p60fps with Fraps. One of the smoothest speedrun videos out there. \*"But Quad maybe it has framedrops???"\* Yeah sure, may be, can you spot any?

Thanks for clarification Patrick. I ended up buying HL on steam and got it working.

I agree quadrazid, but me personally love to play around with sampling/depth maps/layers when I get the chance since I rarely play games with these kinds of functionalities.

I stumbled upon a problem with viewdemo however, weapon models and/or animations is most often not there and when I record there’s no weapon sound. Playdemo seems to work fine but it’s inflexible when you can’t pause, and i’m not even sure if you can record that way with HLAE. What am I doing wrong?

Only reason I use HLAE is because my computer sucks too much to record in Fraps without any major frame loss. 😛

Sometimes it can work if you play the demo with a slower rate or with more fps. Really annoying problem indeed.  
For playdemo you can use HFR to pause. And it works great with HLAE, especially since the recent update I managed to get for the HL21 capture with playdemo autostop function. Some helpful playback buttons I use:

`bind f1 "host_framerate 0" //normal
bind f2 "host_framerate 0.001;wait;host_framerate 0.00000000001" //frameadvance/pause
bind f3 "host_framerate 0.0001" //slowmotion
bind f4 "host_framerate 0.009" //fastmotion`

Great, those binds will be very helpfull.

Here’s some stuff I found:  
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyoFeZV\_OxI](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyoFeZV_OxI)

Recorded before I knew of the HFR cvars for playdemo so some stuff looks weird. Went a bit overboard with DoF, fog etc but as I said, I like playing around with that stuff. 😃

The two first clips are stuff that might save a tiny bit of time in PJC’s first part. It’s also possible to bunny hop on the dropships docks at the very end to cut of some distance. Some of the other stuff is more health/armor efficient ways of doing already known skips and some are ways to perform skips when you have armor and can’t do high enough charge boost jumps. There’s also a trigger skip that saves ~27 sec by just charge boost jumping over the trigger, this is possible with lots of other triggers as well but this is the only one I’ve found that saves time thus far. The last skip is sort of obvious but I haven’t seen anyone mention it.

There are some really great tricks in that video Kitin, well done. Since I’m going to redo the first segments I will obviously implement those first two skips/tricks into my run 🙂

Here’s some other stuff:  
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbjOEvcGtiU](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbjOEvcGtiU)

The first one uses the vertical enemy boost, might be a tiny bit faster than the other way of doing this skip.

And here’s some weird changelevel stuff:  
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cDPZoNLQbs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cDPZoNLQbs)

The black screens are loadscreens. Not sure why some changelevel triggers are located like that. Is there a way do see the triggers in the game? Also, how does the “triggerdelay” trick work? I understand that you are supposed to flood the buffer with “wait’s” in order to delay the changelevel trigger, but excactly when and how? Also wonder if some of the other Half-Life stuff works like ammo duplicating and fastfire, I’ve no idea of timing and stuff since I’ve never been running half-life and games alike.

It doesen’t exist in HLAE itself that I know of, I used the mirv\_movie\_depthdump 1|2 cvar to get a depth map and then applied the blur based on the luminance of the depth map pixels in After Effects to produce DoF. Same thing with the fog, except you apply a solid color (white most likely) over the footage and let the luminance of the depth map decide the opacity of each solid color pixel.

Some more very nice stuff, I also found that weird changelevel glitch when just playing through the game normally, after discovering you could go through the door again before it closed.

That teleporter trick at the end is also very nice!

I think I’m going to start a .doc up and just take note of all the tricks that have been discovered so far, since some really cool stuff is being found.

Also wonder if some of the other Half-Life stuff works like ammo duplicating and fastfire, I’ve no idea of timing and stuff since I’ve never been running half-life and games alike.

Not weird at all, some triggers work like that, just like the trigger in the test chamber (c1a0e → c1a0c) but without the mapchange loop stuff AFAIK. Also you should be able to see the triggers in GMC using [BSP Viewer](http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=83).

To perform a triggerdelay, you need to have keybind with an alias that floods the buffer with waits, such as “bind g w1000” (Refer to the wait table at the HL1 Scripts page on the SR Wiki). To use this, you have to be close to a trigger\_changelevel, press +forward and then press G and, assuming 250FPS, you’ll have 4 seconds to pass through the trigger and reposition yourself to achieve the desired result, which is transitioning to the new map in a different position. Using this method you won’t be able to do anything else besides walk forward, for bunnyhopping in scripts you’ll have to use some advanced scripting.

Just make a script “+forward;w1000;-forward”, activate it and trigger the changelevel. Then move away to the desired point.

Thanks alot for detailed explanation. This is what I’ve managed to find:

[![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/6/6a6b9ed81818dec79ea56b612a7998bf3a626e5e.jpeg "GMC | Changelevel Triggerdelays") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im5w4TT-Idw)

Unfortunately all of these renders the weapons useless (notice the blue ammo count), so the only one that works in a run is the second one since the weapons gets removed and replaced after you enter the spaceship. The levels seems to be very spatially correct in general unfortunately, there would probably be alot more of these if you somehow could trigger the changelevel in the elevators and then get out again before the doors closes.

The same thing seems to be possible in almost every elevator, triggering the changelevel faster in the last elevator of the game saves almost 25 sec.

I’m very glad to hear these can be used. In HL they are mostly touch-disabled or placed out of reach. The testchamber trigger is pretty much the only exception (luckily that one saves over a minute). YaLTeR also found a working trigger in the last elevator transition of the hazard course that could save about 1 second.  
Sounds like they can save quite some time in GMC.
