Modular Combat Now Available

Paradox 42 — Fri, 20 Mar 2015 21:03:37 +0000

Modular Combat is now LIVE and ready for download here. If you have some questions about the mod, you can read our preliminary guide here[modularcombat.net] and here[modularcombat.net].

The mod is 4.90 GB in size and includes everything you need. You will not need HL2DM or HL2:Ep 2 installed and you will not need to run our old fix.

PurePings by Hypernia Corporation is sponsoring 7 game servers for us. PurePings is Game Server Provider that provides high performance game servers with low pings. They are the only Game Server Provider to support Modular Combat. Get your own server for $15.20 per month at https://www.purepings.com/game-servers/ (It will be selectable on their main page in 24 hours. In the meantime, contact support if you want a server).

The PurePings servers we have:

2 in London, United Kingdom
2 in Frankfurt, Germany
1 in Sydney, Australia
1 in Hong Kong, China
1 in Los Angeles, USA

Note: The servers above will not share account and character data. Our Canadian servers share account and character data though.

Known Issues:

If no servers display on your server list, click the Refresh button. If server's still don't display, uncheck "Simplified List" at the bottom left corner of the server list and click Refresh button again.

When you exit the mod, your steam status is changed to "Source SDK Base 2007" and your steam status will stay like that until you kill steam from windows task manager (steam won't let you restart because it thinks the process is still active). You will be unable to play any other games until you kill steam. I created a batch file that will kill steam and restart it for you. Download it from here[modularcombat.net] and extract the .bat file to your desktop. Then when you exit the game, just run the batch file and it will handle the rest.

Steam Release Date Announced!

Paradox 42 — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 03:36:43 +0000

The Steam version of Modular Combat will be released this Friday, March 20th at 5PM EST (GMT - 5) (aka 2PM PST).

The mod is 4.90 GB in size and includes everything you need. So the moment its released, start downloading the game (http://store.steampowered.com/app/349480).

We have 5 official servers available to play on along with FastDL (they all share your account data so you can play on any of them with your character). The servers are located in Eastern Canada (Quebec). We do not have any plans to get some elsewhere (Europe, etc.). If you want a server in your region, you'll have to host it yourself or get someone in your region to host it.

Server Hosting

We do not yet have a dedicated server available. This will come sometime in the following weeks, but in i have devised a way to host a dedicated server. The guide for this will be made available when the next news post is made on Friday.

Also, we do not yet have a Linux dedicated server; it's just Windows. In addition servers cannot handle more than 16 slots (engine limitation).

We are now Greenlit!

Paradox 42 — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 04:05:33 +0000

In case you haven't noticed we are now Greenlit! In 10 days no less! The team would like to take this opportunity to thank Valve for greenlighting us and the community for voting yes.

Over the next few weeks we will get Modular Combat ready for Steam. If you have any suggestions for Achievements, Trading Cards, Backgrounds and Emotes, please post them on our website at https://www.modularcombat.net/index.php?threads/steam-achiements-backgrounds-trading-cards-emotes.83/

Thank for your support,
Team ModCom

Available Soon On Steam!

Paradox 42 — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 23:01:30 +0000

We're now on Steam Greenlight and we need your help to get us Greenlit!

Vote YES at http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=357843144

By getting it on Steam, we can legally include all assets (HL2: Episode 2 & HL2DM). So even if you don't own those games, you'll be able to play Modular Combat the way it was meant to be played.

Also, we now have an official trailer. It's visible on the Steam Greenlight page as well as on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ApnG4AO8dQ

Modular Combat Fix (Version 3)

Paradox 42 — Thu, 25 Dec 2014 23:57:12 +0000

Version 3 of the Modular Combat fix is up! It now completely automates the fixing process even if you use custom library paths. You download the fix from http://modularcombat.net/index.php?threads/modular-combat-fix.47

Note: The fix requires TF2 to be installed (a TF2 tool is used to fix the mod). If you dont want to install TF2 then you will have to do the complicated manual fix yourself. The link above has instructions.

Modular Combat FIXED!

Paradox 42 — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:13:50 +0000

I've been craving Modular Combat for many months now and i couldn't bear to wait for Modular Combat 2 to come out so i thought i'd take a crack at fixing it.

Well i managed to do just that! and not only did i do it, i wrote a batch file that completely automates the task for you! (damn thing took me over 8 hours to write and debug).
