I, as the original MOD author, just can say yes and I'm fully behind your words except that it was a bad MOD. They have added new weapons(didn't had the skill while I'm created this MOD), sounds, HUD, fixed the endless spawning enemies and the best thing, story notes so you know what has to be done. EVERYTHING else in special the backbone(story and maps) are still the same!

As the original MOD author I can say they did a good job! Things which I learned after that project are implemented now. In special the missing story nodes to get further, the new models of persons and weapons, sounds, HUD and they fixed the endless spawning of the enemy's(thanks god :). BTW the level design, textures(as far I have seen) and story-telling is still the ORIGINAL and made by me!

I just played the first few seconds of your REMOD and I'm just impressed! Well, I'm the original author of this MOD and it was just a funny luck to find this REMOD after 4 years after it's release!

1. It would have been nice to get informed about this REMOD, in special there is no word of the original MOD authors name or a link to the original work. ( Edith: Found it now at the end of the video, realy? ) The map-design and story-telling(except the text information's you get now) is still the original one! My Email-Address still exist and the MODDB side as well. The first release was in 2005 btw. Moddb.com

2. TCIS 1 do not exist because I lost it at an HDD crash, if you would have read my comments at the original release here:
Moddb.com
you would know that.

3. I'm impressed of your teams work and honestly yes, it's better than the first release. I would have been glad to had you on my side while I'm modded TCIS 2. It was my first try to develop a MOD/Game and I did everything by my own. I had no idea of coding, level-design or something else. I learned a lot of this while I'm created TCIS 1 and 2. There was no DEV-"Team" at all, just me and few Alpha and Beta-Testers. It took near 5 years to get everything finished, if I add the time of part one then 7 years, and no, I wasn't frustrated to get it to an end, I just had no better programming skills at this time, and yes, I was lucky to finally got everything together.

4. I used Worldcraft 1 and then the Hammer Editor beside the HL-SDK. There was not much more tools than this.

5. I don't understand your opinion regarding the original HUD, seems to be a matter of taste. There are no elements of other games except the "Armor-Man", the HUD was made by me! Also for a lot of people it was one of the coolest things of the MOD. :)

6. The Coop-MOD was just for 2 peoples with special munition rooms in every level. Did I said that I had no idea of coding at this time? :)
But yes, you are right, it's better you are playing it in single player. :)

7. The story, well question: How long was the time difference in Terminator since the first part? Yes, the humans survived also a long time before they could go back in time. Same at my story... They idea of these different locations(Egypt, Labor, etc.) was that you are drifting in time. The cut-sequence should have explained that. You see your dead if you won't stop the project. The "G-Man" was just a kind of supervisor between room and time, therefore the choice at the end. I had to bring it to and end at some point... :)

The ship in the Egypt level should explain, that they are already here since a long time. The scientist just used the technology from this ship for there experiment. Well, yes, I had to tell this in the story somewhere. Like you did with the text information's. Did I said that I had no idea of game-development? ;)

So well, I like your REMOD so far and will play it through. I just would have been glad to get informed that you are take MY work and revise it!!!

Sure I mean "rope" not "robe" :)

I have seen the latest review this year! Wow, never thought that my game is still popular. :) These are my answers to your questions.

A: You just can climb up the robe with the button "c".(If you haven't changed it in the settings) I never could figure out how to program the robe in another way. Sorry for that. ;)

A: To fight in some situations isn't the way to play TCIS. You just have to run, like in the survival games these days. :)

Q: The weapons are to weak and the enemies are too strong in some situations
A: MOST of the new aliens have just one or two hit-points where you can hurt them. Regular if you shoot into the eyes. Except the shielded one, you NEED to use explosives.

I have uploaded a new "skill.cfg" file. (Download section)
Just download it to make things easier.

Hi There. Well I never expected that someone is playing it after 7 years :). Anyway, send the elevator to the top and you will find a service-door under it. There are two switches to turn-off the turrets.

Hi MoonFrost!
Our MOD is a modification for Half-Life with or without Steam.
So there is no exutable to start them. It's only be possible to start them with Steam or HL orignal. Many description are existing in the INet to install an MOD in Steam or HL. Greetz DarKRealm

..and what will you say us?
We also used all HD Models which are included in all original HL-Games like BlueShift
BTW I have started to great this MOD after the first HL release and lost many things after a HDD crash
so I have changed all things more then one time including the models. :)

oh and it's not for HL-Source our MOD os for the good old HL original.. HL rules!!!!

Hi Jonathan!
thanks for your comment! ..good to know that you have finshed it after 1 year LOL :)

Hello JonathanPL,

our maps are all well tested and they work correctly but if you forget to solve any riddle
in the map you can't finish them. We have uploaded a walktrough on 17.02.06 on our webside which you can download there. It should clear some things and I think you will never use cheats again :)

we working on a rebalancing patch atm to make it a bit easier ..it will be released soon

well this is one of the best MODs i played for a long time! great work!!

we havn't any because it's restricted to two players.. so i think it's make no sense to run a server permanent

Hello and thanks again!

if it's ok i have few short questions.. you wrote about an echo at the sounds i havn't one, is it at the whole game? ( maybe you has turned on the environment option in your soundcard preferences? livingroom or something )

has you voted already? :)

best regards
DarKRealm

im glad to read this very positiv comment :)

thanks a lot!

not everything is a bug.. i think it's a problem at your machine.. i tried it on my 3 machines without a problem.. try to check the audio preferences and turn of EAX and A3D...

Hello!

hmmm... it could be at the 1. and 7. map, both are planed for HL2 but we used it in HL1 now.. ( you know we stoped the hl2 project )

..in all others the r_speeds should be between 800 and 1000

...tcis2 works on my 900Mhz pc with an gforce4 card perfectly

I wouldn't say it so dramatic.. yes we spend much time to build none so easy puzzels but if you think a bit logic and do not spend your time to shoot to everything it's easy to solve it..

and only 3 maps of the whole game have so "dramatic" riddles.. im writing on a walktrough atm it should be clear some things :)

We uploaded the MOD today and waiting for the authorization at "Moddb" and "Filefront".

Best regards
DarKRealm

It is finished today :) im upload it atm!

yup! :)

good to see that there are still some fans.. thanks for your patience!

Hi,

i'm glad to hear that! ...you will see many more enemys if you got the full release.. stay tuned for it!

Hello all out there!

We have bad news for this month. Because i havn't time to do something more on our HL2 version we canceled the HL2 project. The only good news is that we now have more time to work on the HL1-Version and we are looking forward to release it soon.

Best regards and thanks for the patience!
DarKRealm

it's the HL1 version.. the HL2 version is canceled for the moment

Yes we have... we have very complex riddles, a COOP function, detail textures, new HUD, a experience system, a new story ( at the beginning the same but it's depend on the continuation of HL1 ), and many other new features...

PS: and sorry but to make the end takes longer then expected

Hello all out there!

First off all we are sorry to tell you that you have to wait for so a long time but we have the intention to change the engine into HL2 engine.

We hope that we act in all of your interest and that all of you will be waiting for the new release.

Your
TCIS-Team
