If muzzleflashes worked exactly like light_dynamic, the would not look good with prop_static. It would looks something like this: you mount a machine gun on d1_canals_01a, start firing AND ALL THE 9 STORY BUILDINGS AROUND YOU START FLICKERING. So they decided to cut it out

@finlandslim cool pfp dude

@Civilian
Whoever worked on the engine stuff might be. GldSource had muzzleflashes but they cut it out of HL2 release build.

A little bit buggy, but very cool regardless.

Shame, but thanks for trying

I tried woth muzzleflashes and no, it's not possible tp do with basic scripting.

So no muzzle flashes?

The same thing happens to me with the airboat bug, does anyone else also have the bug where the buggy can't break the large window before fighting the gunship on the road? The energy walls on the bridge at the end of the Highway 17 chapter are also not deactivated.

airboat bug is still a thing, for anyone still suffering from it you can you this command in the meantime to fix it: ent_fire prop_vehicle_airboat enablegun 1

didn't the original quake also have this? it's so weird that HL2 didn't have this now that i think about it.

@Green Guts
I was permabanned in Gamebanana back in 2013-2014. I was suprised as the only stuff I did there was to make a video showcase for a mod my friend made. The reason was "account duplicate" and they listed an account I never saw before.

Can you make this a mod on Gamebanana?

Is it possible to add rgp light to rockets fired by APC ?

> bug with the gun for the airboat.
For some reason, this mod causes prop_vehicle_airboat "global_newgame_spawner_airboat" to not pass the level transition, the airboat persists, but the entity can't be referenced

I will fix it in my map mod

what about the flares in nova prospekt

i just want conquest

> bug with the gun for the airboat.
Confirm

Confirm, does not happen with my mod though
> 2. In some doorways in Ravenholm, there are graphical bugs - blurring of layers or something like that and it's hard to enter.
Can't confirm

Can't confirm

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life

bro

this causes the rpg light to be permenantly stuck in front of me, which i also think lags my game too :(.

@Kuppelcryger All of this will have to be played with Noclip to play even halfway. I have Noclip bound, and I'd say it's not a big issue anymore, at least for me.

Cool mod (seriously)
As the guy wrote below - a bug with the gun for the airboat.

In Ravenholm:

1.The elevator doesn't work.
2. In some doorways in Ravenholm, there are graphical bugs - blurring of layers or something like that and it's hard to enter.
3.The lever for activating the platform where you need to jump doesn't work.

I'll see what happens next

why am i glowing?

Thanks 4 updating thi2 mod! Love the diminished grenade light strengh, it was too much for a grenade, now it feels more grounded and easy on the eye. This simple light makes me want to grab enemy grenades more often since you can see them more clearly, such an indirect buff for the gravity gun, shame for the long time to deploy and use the Ggun.

Hi there, I think I found a bug. I'm not sure if it's a compatibility issue seeing as this breaks when using certain custom script mods, but at the same it doesn't make any sense to me how does this mod in specific breaks such a seemingly unrelated thing but:

The "cutscene" in d1_canals_11 when you reach a Rebel Hideout and the Vortigaunt is supposed to give your Airboat a gun is broken because the latter doesn't actually give you the gun. This only happens when you bring the Airboat from a previous map but doesn't with the Airboat that spawns upon loading the map through the console.

I tried disabling the only other mod I've had for the Airboat, which to begin with doesn't require Script Multiloader (Which I am subscribed to) and the cutscene only worked the moment I disabled this mod. Wouldn't be surprised if it's actually something else as I mod my game a lot, but I need at least a confirmation that I'm not going crazy lol.

Do you have a list of addons this doesn't work with?

Update:
Removed RPG light still being present after launching at wall with close range.
Reduced grenade light size.
Improved compatibility with other scripts.
Combine ball light will now work properly with other addons.

I'm aware of the problem. I'll try to fix it soon

A suggestion: the problem with light remaining after source is no more could be solved with a timer, cleaning up lights after some time since the last one was created long enough that the source could not possibly be still there.

THE SUN IS LEAKING

Explosions, flashlights, muzzle flashes... I remember when I suggested Black Mesa devs that explosions would be much better if they had their own light generation, when finally implemented, they looked way cooler and realistic that way. In Half-Life 2, those lights were never added, so mods like this are very much appreciated by men like me.

niceee

You need this addon. Also check in the ingame workshop menu, if it's not disabled then enable it. Additionaly could be addon conflict

it dosn't work for my why?

@ProgramKT
Maybe...

I need muzzleflash light please....

it will support ez2 mod animation?

cool

I don't think dynamic lights can look good with long living objects that player cant see all the time, because it shines through world geometry seemingly ignoring "Maximum distance". Is that correct ? If so, probably worth a separate mod.

Dude you're some sort of source engine wizard, i'd love to see this but for items so for example batteries and chargers emanate slight blue/orange lights

> The only way to make cvars creates dummy cvars that cannot be attached to anything.

That is an unfortunate design decision on Valves part. I thought, ability to define arbitraty variables in some sort of base config file and to reference them from everywhere was the standard.

> can be the ar2 alt have like a bluish color?

Current color is fine, if anything, that thing looks orange, but there's already an orange rocket light.

The bluish should be used for manhacks if that's possible.

can be the ar2 alt have like a bluish color?

@Sungazer
Not possible to make functioning cvars via cfg scripting. Only aliases are possible to use as console commands. And I'm not really fond of entering aliases to console after every map load.

Not sure It's possible, but it would be awesome to allow configuring some parameters of the script through cvars. For example, I didn't like grenade lights at first, but with radius of 30 they look just right

no grenade version?

i really hope you'll be able to do this to explosions too because this looks really cool

This is epic! I've subscribed to most of your add-ons and altogether they greatly enhance replay value. If I may make a request, would it be possible to add projectile bullets to Half Life 2 via scripts? Or would that be a sourcemod thing a la MMOD?

Also, there is a problem with dlights sometimes remaining after the source is no more. Not sure it's salvagable. But players may want to know that a command like
ent_fire dlight_cball kill ; ent_fire dl_grenade_light kill ; ent_fire dlight_rpg kill
would help with that

Maybe attach dlight the to player while ball is held ?
Or after ball left the func_combine_ball_spawner

@Sungazer
ah sorry, I forgot to say picked and released by gravity gun. For some reasons dlights applies for them only after they are released but in the script it should apply to them if they are close to player.
