Quick Fixes Ready 04/01/07

There has been a bug with the mod that made it crash at start up for certain people. I put out a quick fix today and its available in the download section. The memory "read" bug is temporarily fixed but the crossbow scope will not show if applied.

Other things addressed are some typos i made in the UI. Because theres a good amount of people not getting the bug I have put up two versions so that people that have no crashes currently can still use the crossbow scope. and everyone can get the fixed ui files.

Enjoy and sorry for any frustration that has came up from the crash bug. Thanks everyone who quickly reported this bug!

Public Beta Now available for download! 03/31/07

The new beta version (10) is now available for public download. Visit the Download Section to download the beta.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The first time you run a game using the wiimote mod it will create a soundcache and will take awhile. The wiimote might not connect the first time as well, if this happens to you restart the game and it should connect fine Smile

I am looking for help in these areas now

I'm Back! 02/19/07

Sorry for all the delays recently. the main reason for all of it was my computer's PSU failing. I have replaced the psu now and it works great, so back to work for me Wink

.

I'll be putting a flv player for the media section with better quality flv soon Smile

Tutorial Panel V/O! 02/07/07

Hey guys, Just letting you know i will be programming a voice over system into the wiimote tutorial panel. So when you walk up to case sensitive parts of the gameplay (such as ladders, swimming, or special weapons) the onscreen wiimote will not only show how to play, but text and voice overs will display with explainations.

Sam Hunter will be doing voice overs for the tutorial panel! You may have seen sam on the hit TV show "24".

Sam is also a profesional military advisor, stunt man and a good friend.

More voice overs will be posible as well. and you will have the option to disable this feature.

Beta 6! 02/05/07

Closed Beta 6 has been sent to the testers. They are doing a fantastic job in finding the bugs! Hopefully soon there wont be any Smile

This build I added many new customizable options for the controlling of on-foot and vehicle instances.

I am going to be holding back beta applicants for the next few builds. But I will expand out more if closed beta takes longer than a week from now.

Thanks everyone following the project. I appreciate all the support!

Beta 5 coming soon. 01/29/07

Hey guys, i've recently decided to merge the code with a fresh build. I've added alot of functionality since 4. I'm hoping i can release closed beta 5 soon. I've been getting alot of applications for closed beta and you will be notified soon. I will be adding more people to the closed beta once beta5 is ready. heres some of the features currently in beta5
-2 new vehicle driving methods ( one similar to excite truck )
-Vast change to the wiimote config panel to allow more customization.
-Added option to remove gordons hands. (by request)
-Updated the wiimote driver to intialize faster.
-Added Seperate and Full Preset controll ( so you can save just aiming controlls or just vehicle controls out to presets, but you can also save out everythng to one preset if wished )

I am moving the code over to a fresh build tonite so i can find and correct some of the problems with the NPC's and shooting. I am unsure of where I let the NPC's loose the ability to shoot naturaly.

If you know or have had a problem like this with your own mod and you would like to point me in the right direction, please contact me if intrested.

More Info 01/25/07

Hey everybody. Today I've set up a IRC Channel its located here.

I also have spoken to the creator of Minerva and has approved full support for it through the wiimote mod! So now you will be able to play 2 of the best single player mods out there with your wiimote!

Beta testing is going good, I've found out that the Microsoft stack does not work currently with the mod. BlueSoleil and Toshiba stack are confirmed to work. So i will be spending most my time here to make the mod compatible with the MS stack.

Theres also a issue with multiple wiimote connections. I am hopfully grabbing another wiimote tommarow to test and try and fix the problem. But overall I've had positive feedback from the testers, and they are doing a great job keeping me updated and letting me know whats wrong.

Closed beta 01/24/07

Today closed beta started! Please contact me if you were not sent the closed beta build and you have been notified you are a part of it prior.

Other great news includes full wiimote support for Rock 24!

Forums are up as well!

Also i have to thank everone who favored my video on youtube, It was Number 2 over all areas for the video games category on youtube today.

Site is up! 01/23/07

Hey guys! Thanks to Snakez at HL2World.com I now have a place to stick updates and keep track of everything Smile

At the moment the site is rather no nonsense as i am mostly focusing on the game. I cannot beleive the sudden intrest in the mod, I woke up today to 23,000 views on youtube! It sure is exciting that people are intrested in the project as much as myself.

I am really hoping that developers and designers will be able to look at this project as a great way to concept titles for the Wii. I would love a Wii dev-kit myself, but I do not have the resources or connections to make it happen.

I chose Half Life 2 for this project because of the freedom Valve really gives the developer and because i was brought up on it while learning C++. There is few SDKs out there that give you the ability the source engine offer and i would say that is why the developer community is so large.

Thanks again to everone who supports this project. Even if you get my name wrong, its much apreciated Smile

I'll be sure to keep the site updated, if you have any requests for the site or the game, you can contact me through my email

I am not sure how large the initial closed beta test will be(as in count of testers) but feel free to apply if you want to test. I am actualy very surprised there is so many people with all the hardware already Smile
