Half Life 2 Old Engine Rerun

Nope, you don’t actually need alyx to be there.

Wait so Alyx doesn’t spawn on the map at all? Isn’t that a problem in c17_01?

A new alyx is created in c17_01 since the maps are independent of each other.

more triggerdelay save/load stuff

There’s so much oob stuff you can do with triggerdelay and save/loading (like I’m pretty sure it’s possible to go through all of citadel without the gravgun for instance) but I don’t think it would be very entertaining to watch.

I never thought that old engine could be more broken than new engine…

I’m going to laugh so hard if this beats DWaHMoV

It will. By 10 minutes already. And we’re probably going to find even more stuff.

Wait… Does this mean Old Engine will be be the fastest version for any% segmented runs, or would a New Engine rerun with new tricks be faster again? It would be so hilarious if the New Engine turned out to be slower despite having ABH. :stuck_out_tongue:

A. HOLY SHIT!!

B. I wonder if its possible to sub an hour.

Yeah, it seems that Old Engine is actually quite faster than New Engine in segmented category. Crazy, isn’t it?

And yes, sub 1 hour is very likely, we’re ~6 min of improvements away from that.

Who could’ve ever thought that crazy stuff like this would be possible in Old Engine? :wink:

BTW, if you haven’t thought of it already, there are people who know just a little about OE and its funky-ness. They also made a video about it. :wink:

It would be pretty great if the TSA run and the old engine rerun were competing head to head to be faster than the other as these projects progress haha.

In the estimate take into account that back when done quick was made people didn’t know how to time runs so it’s actually a low 1:38 instead of 1:36:57.

I will buy a beer for whoever can do this, no joke.

You owe elgu a beer.

what? link?

HOLY HYPE :open_mouth:

EDIT: exec sent me the torrent link, ignore the following…
I feel like I want to start experimenting in the Old Engine now… I see the wiki has a download for build 2455. Is it OK to use this, or is there a more recent OE build which I need? If so, could someone PM a link? Thanks.
EDIT: I notice that there is one build after that which is compatible with the demos, but the latest OE version doesn’t say that, so I’m guessing I need to download that.

If your you’re still open to people joining in on this run, I’d like to help :smiley:

I’m pretty sure they’d be open to people joining as they haven’t even started running yet and it’s a big project :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m lazy when it comes to recording videos but I made a pic in paint to explain how it’s done.
When doing this you loose all your weapons. But it’s not a problem.

Also Me and Rama found a way to skip basicly all of Red Letter Day (while still grabing the suit).
And I found a way to skip prison_06.
