I guess I'm going to play with infinite flashlight because Dynamic Fire Glow breaks other parts of the game so it's not worth the trade off.

same bug as Vortex. This makes some puzzles impossible to solve. Just going to remove this mod. Game works fine with it's original setting anyways

I'm encountering a bug where both flashlight meters appear in Ep1, and the original doesn't recharge because of it, so I can't sprint or breath underwater for as long as I would need to.

is it compatible with hud remakes
LGlobe 18 Jun @ 4:23pm 
can you also make one that replaces ep2's flashlight?

Super helpful when sprinting at the same time, especcialy EP 1 elevator part

Seems there's a bug with this add-on where it makes HL2 + Episode 1 think they're Episode 2 achievement-wise. Might want to look into the issue in case any new players might want to use this because they hate how the Flashlight is linked with the HEV's Auxiliary Power.

Really helpful, specially at the elevator in Episode One.

I tested out having every single mod besides this and Script Multiloader disabled and there's definitely a bug! Base HL2 had the infinite flashlight independent of AUX power, but Ep1's flashlight was still reliant and even drained AUX power.
Changing load order, verifying game file integrity, and shutting off the game didn't fix this glitch.

breaks alyx following you in the episodes when enabled

Is anyone else getting this strange glitch where the separate flashlight icon doesn't appear for Episode 1? It works perfectly fine for base HL2, but in Ep1 it appears in the AUX power without taking away power. If you sprint or use up oxygen and the flashlight remains on, the AUX power won't recharge until it's turned off.

There's a compact HUD that should work just fine with this since the compact HUD works fine for the main game and the episodes.
idk gaming 27 May @ 5:06am 
so specifically what huds are made for hl2?
Blaster1360 26 May @ 10:50pm 
Fixes one of my biggest pet peeves with Half-Life 2. :steamthumbsup:
idk gaming 26 May @ 10:04pm 
ok
Hds46  [author] 26 May @ 10:03pm 
It should execept tthe hud is explicitly was made for original HL2 not epsiodes.
idk gaming 26 May @ 10:01pm

@hds46 well ok
Hds46  [author] 22 May @ 2:55pm 
@MλXIISUSK576
I'm not sure this can be fixed. This addon changes CVar "hl2_expansion" which is need for this mod to work properly.
MλXIISUSK576 22 May @ 2:52pm 
For some reason, with the mod the title of the Half Life ep2 game appears and not that of Half Life 2. Can you fix it please?
Josh 19 May @ 12:24pm 
@Hds46
No worries and thanks for getting back to me.
Hds46  [author] 19 May @ 12:17pm 
@Josh
Supposedly it's dynamic fire mod. It spawns special entity which is used to make ally NPCs to see because EP1 tunnel darkness behavior which enables dynamic light on burning objects also makes them blind unless this entity spawns. Sometimes script doesn't loads properly on map transitions or loading saves and this can be fixed by making a save and then loading it. I'll improve loading method to try to fix this issue.

Hi there, I love your addons and thank you for what you do. I just thought I'd let you know that either this script or the 'dynamic fire glow' is causing issues for me with NPC's refusing to move. I'm currently playing through Half-Life 2 and Barney stopped moving in the map 'd1_c17_10a', which meant in the following map '10b' I can't progress as he needs to be there to open the combine door. I also had an issue in map with Alyx a few days ago. I'm not sure if this is a bug with one of your addons or it's a bug with HL2. The only addons I have enabled is 'Script Multiloader', 'Dynamic Fire Glow', 'Standalone Flashlight', 'Jiggly Hand Fix' and 'Episodic Citadel'. Do you know what could be causing this if it is one of your addons? Thanks.

Using an older save hasn't worked, I think I downloaded this somewhere near or before Anticitizen One, idk.
spjohnson12 17 May @ 5:36am 
Alright, I think I downloaded it during the strider standoff at the Nexus, I've already uninstalled the required mods, I'm hoping that and using an older save will help.
spjohnson12 17 May @ 5:32am 
Uh, I'm not sure, I'll check and then I'll get back to you.
Hds46  [author] 17 May @ 5:29am 
@spjohnson12
Are you using old save when this mod was installed?
spjohnson12 17 May @ 5:28am 
Ok, for some strange reason, after I've uninstalled this, my aux power always says my flashlight is on, but, I can't use my flashlight anymore. I think my game is bugged.

I've been waiting for this
robotgamer2 15 May @ 4:43pm 
i love that hl2 ep2 has this feature thx man :steamthumbsup:
F1st Br34k3r 15 May @ 10:29am 
IIRC either someone told me that a developer said it or a developer explained that the suit got banged up and that's why the flashlight ended up the way it is....... which could've worked quite easily if they just added a tip on the right side of the screen [and maybe a voice line alongside] as soon as you are at the bottom of the train cart:

["USER BIODAT SCAN AT 100% - RE-CALIBRATING AUXILIARY POWER] and then just had the flashlight icon flash at the bottom.

VALVe pls fix and do that, or don't.
spjohnson12 14 May @ 2:35pm 
While it does work for me, the aux power charges significantly slower than without the mod, and it's gotten to a point where I'm going to have to unsubscribe. Sorry, just tired of having to wait for my aux power to completely recharge after every short sprint.
fan made cuphead show 14 May @ 8:43am
