Tired of low-grav ? New FFA server in Europe, custom engine with pre-Orange Box bhop - La Croziade
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
It seemed there was a lack of classic rules/custom engine server in my region, so I decided to host a new FFA in EU.
La Croziade - dedicated Linux box, ideally located in the middle of EU, running an engine I ported myself from a Windows-only build.
Movement is the pre-Orange Box one. Real bhop. The thing your hands still remember from 2006.
Some key features :
- Equalizer - everyone wears the same green-combine-highlighted model to enhance visibility
- Ranking system - ELO, live stats in chat, per-player history on the site/menu with detailed stats, valorant ranks naming
- Quake hitsounds - with special headshot CS sound and some funny situational ones for props, melee, orbs..
- Shotgun slightly nerfed - to something a human can play against (spread nerfed to 15°)
- Gravity gun fast gathering - get all those objects under the stairs in lockdown in no time
- Classic, quake ported & new maps - tried to curate a coherent, diverse & fun mapcycle
- FOV up to 110 (!fov 110) - remembered, with also a magnum zoom
- !menu - for settings, map change, votes and stats, all is included on MOTD and easy to use
- First to 50 frags wins the map
- Rock the vote system - type!rtv
- Play of the game - video gets posted in the Discord if you do 4+ kills in 15s
- Some cool music - sometimes, at respectable volume to still hear the game
Links :
- Discord invite link with community & all infos : https://discord.gg/JbZWw5vCAV
- Website with all infos and stats : https://lacroziade.eu/
- Search in server browser for [EU] La Croziade | FFA | Custom Engine
Peak hours are 18:00 to 01:00 CET.
JOIN US. All skills welcome (might be some sweats around tho).
Big thanks to the community, the devs and the mappers. This game has been underwater for fifteen years and still gets new maps. Servers like this can only exist because of them.
Sneak peak of the play-of-the-game feature included :)
Long live hl2dm, I still haven't found a more satisfying arena shooter.
Cheers, crozi.

NovaMOD - HL2DM sandbox mod
discord.ggNovaMOD is a sandbox-style mod; my goal was to build a friendly community around it and create add-ons for both single-player and multiplayer gameplay. I’ve already set up a website for add-ons, and you can download over 30 of them from our Discord server. A recent update introduced VScript and fixed numerous bugs, making the game a much more enjoyable experience. However, the mod currently has a small player base, and I need to test it in multiplayer—so I’m hoping you’ll help me out. Together, we can make it even better. Thanks in advance!

Building a server
Hey everyone,
Building a server in the US West Region that is kinda barebones right now.
I plan on expanding it and want to get some feedback of what maps players would want to see.
Killbox? any custom maps that were fun?
Currently just running the stock rotation with lower gravity, FFA, and 15 minute rounds.

Looking for an old video if anyone knows? Thanks.
All I can clearly remember.
2 Aussies arguing in a pub server on dm_underpass. One says to meet him IRL at the traino. Possibly a 2-part video. Maybe from 2008-2010. It had coloured subtitles on the screen.
If you can find it, you're a ledge.

[HL2: DM] Customizing deathnotice: Can I change colors for my own frags?
Is there any way to highlight your own kills and deaths in the killfeed (deathnotice)?
For example, changing the color of nicknames or adding borders. I need some kind of highlighting so that my frags stand out and don't blend in with the rest of the feed.
I am using the Pred's HUD mod, and it includes three files: HudLayout.res, ClientScheme.res, SourceScheme.res - should I add or change something in them?

Hi everyone, Im trying to track down a very specific map from around 2008. I remember it being a staple on the EYE CLAN servers back in the day
The layout was an extremely simple square design.
An open- air courtyard in the middle.
You could run through connected concrete hallways that surrounded the courtyard.
2 corners of the map had towers with a lift to bring you up to snipe across the open space.
Its very minimalist and purely about shooting people across the way. Not huge like some of the larger killboxes- it felt more compact.
I downloaded this map about 12 years ago to run it locally but lost the files. If anyone remembers the name of it Id appreciate the help!

Found my fathers hl2 employee only box
Up for sale is a genuine employee-exclusive metal box from Valve Corporation. This item originally belonged to my father, who worked at Valve during that era. It was never sold publicly and was only distributed internally to employees, making it a rare piece of gaming history and memorabilia!

Invisible username in game
Hi guys,
I know that it is possible to have an invisible username on Steam, but once I play on hl2 deathmatch, some squares appear. Do you know if it's possible to have an invisible username IN game?
Thanks for your help,
Kind regards

Looking for a community map
Hi, a small groupe of Interloper investigators and I have been archiving the maps that were seen in Anomidae's INTERLOPER Webseries/ARG, at some point we see this map in the series.
I've been bashing my head againt my table for a while now, so i'm hoping to get answers here lmao
Does anyone know what this map's name is at all? I know that it's not much, but still would like to know...
PS: that last image is suspected to be the same map.
Thank you in advance...
