Half Life 2 Old Engine Rerun

same, but it’s early in the semester for me, so I can afford it

That’s the case for me too. I am writing essays 24/7.

Well, we recently had a minor setback, so we’re back to c17_12b. We also have to do 13 and citadel 02 much differently now because 13 will softlock no matter what.

For those who want details, because of the way we complete c17_10b and on, Barney will not be given the instruction to stop follow Gordon. This causes c17_13 to softlock because (from what I recall this is what we believe) having two instances of Barney on the map causes the end cutscene with Dog to softlock.

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since we’ve updated, so here’s what’s going down:

We’ve completed c17, with a combined time (of all the d3_c17_xx maps) of 3:50.265, and getting to the citadel in 30 minutes, 7 seconds. As of Citadel 04, we’re possibly looking at a sub-40 minute run!

Unfortunately, the run won’t be done by the 10-year anniversary of HL2DQ, as we originally hoped. However, if you want to watch me stream the last remaining segments, visit my twitch! http://twitch.tv/centaur1um

According to the timesheet, it looks like D3_Breen_01 is now complete. What else is left to do, and what is the current status of the run?

i think itll still be another week or 2 because processing the segments into videos takes quite a bit of time and effort. as well as the time is purple which means “to be redone”

We have a couple segments left from Breen then we are redoing some of trainstation then the video creation and commentary is gonna take a while too.

^the commentary isn’t gonna take particularly long to edit, probably about a few hours of editing

Anyway, we have just finished breen_01, and subsequently, the first phase of this run! We finished in 491 segments, and we’re 4 segments in to the 39 we’re redoing. The final time came out to be 0:39:17.265! We’re currently testing one person interested in making the render, and if he does a good enough job, we’ll put him in-charge of the render. It shouldn’t be much longer!

Some stats:

We ended up saving a grand total of 48 minutes 34 seconds over DWaHMoV, and 57 minutes 15 seconds over HL2DQ!


That is quite simply amazing. Terrific job as always guys.

I guess that i can try to do the render.
I already rendered estranged act done quick and the rexaura run.
I know nearly everything i need to do this.
So, during my holydays (in 1 week) i may be able to render up to 20 min !

I can do a render test if it’s needed !

Exec is doing this.

I leave ya’ll for a year and come back and now your saying your beating HL2 in less than 40 minutes?

The hell is wrong with you guys?

oops our bad

We’ve started the render! We only have 2 1/2 maps to go, and you can see our render progress on the “Frontpage” of our timesheet!

is exec rendering this on his own pc?

because then rip pc

yes I am

why?

I guess he only knows your PC as the shitty one it used to be before the upgrade.

All segments for the run are completed, we just have to wait for the render. Stay tuned!

I don’t even know exec’s setup, but still must be a lot of stress for the PC
