Progress
I'm just so happy we're back on track with Cry of Fear now, so I decided to write a short news post about the progress, and also show you a video and some screenshots!
This weekend, James and I made A LOT of progress. We mainly fixed bugs (at least I fixed every bug I had assigned to me, which was like over 200 bugs or something), and also added some awesome stuff, such as unlockables. I made an update (update 88), a patch basically to my team members, and that patch is 965 mb big, and contains 403 files. Now people, this is only what I made on this weekend. Imagine how much we're working our asses off!
High-res Normals
Another cool thing than unlockables, is that I've finished making all the high-res normal maps, see pictures below.
As those textures are pretty high-res, we're deciding to make an option where you can turn off normal maps, if you experience too much lag with them.
Weapon Animations
We've never really showed you any weapon video, so I decided to do that now. We're showing off 3 weapons (Glock, TMP and Switchblade), and it's all in-game. Creds goes to Jordy/Sporkeh (the troll in our team :P) Enjoy the video!
Other
That's it for now, hope you like the awesome progress. And as always, if you want to donate, you can head over to our donation section, where donators gets the TMP plus secret news in the forums. More info on link below.

fail progress how long does it take to make a mod ******* lazy nerds LOL
(buried)
i know i could make this easily in a couple months not even full team LOL
GO jump a in a Fail-lake.
Talk to them!
YOU WILL NOTICE YOUR TALKING TO THERE HANDS!!!
your time awareness is legendary... jks. just to clarify this working on a mod with so little people, and this is a Total Conversion, takes bloody AGES, not to mention they are also doing some amazing things with GoldSrc.
Holy **** supabayde, you are dumb.
No teams are lazy, many people are always in a hurry...
I think that's just a sarcastic attempt at humour. It failed, true, but don't take it seriously.
and people start yelling... I can't even see who's the oldest virgin here - ones who throw **** in the fan, or ones who doesn't care about **** flying all around because they are 'right' (and keep on downvoting)... funny **** happen :D
They're not lazy, they have something you don't, it's called a job. Wait, there is something I am forgetting here.
OH YEAH! They have a life too.
You guys obliviously have never made a mod before, let alone one that's this much of a overhaul.
-100 karma, Lol! you just said **** in there, congratulations...
Great news! Really nice animations too, props to Sporkeh.
Excellent and very exciting work! I'll be installing Half-Life again just for this and the ESF mod :)
I am so happy that you guys are "back to work" on this. ruMpel keep up the good work makes me happy to see such a huge patch going around to your team, proves your very hard at work. :)
I don't want option to turn off normal map, I want option to turn into low-res normal.
God, I can't believe how "pro" this game is.
xDDD I love ******* with you, Andreas.
The weapons animations are amazing.
Good job!

im not really impressed about the animations, but the sounds are great
Can you explain?
I haven't seen animations this good in a retail game in a long time. Most animations today are a simple bam, clip out, clip in. Knife swings are pretty damn basic, also.
Opinions are poison to ravenous fans.
I was just asking. I mean in this it can't be preference really, these are good animations, I'd like to see what is bad about them.
Nice :). Looking forward playing this in coop!
Am i the only one who'se suprised they aren't getting paychecks from valve? i know 3 friends of mine who bought half life just so we could play this mod.
This news is full of pure awesome of update, can't wait for more.
wow this mod is becoming better and better!
Awesome news. :)
Man, this doesn't looks like a mod, it looks like a game....and I think, one of the best game I'll ever have played *_*
(Sorry for bad English, I'm Swiss ^^' )
The sounds for the TMP & Glock were taken at the shooting which you mentioned few newsposts back right?.
Because, forgive me for my comment.
The Glock 17 gunshot reminds me greatly of the Counter-Strike:Source Glock 17 gunshot. Or perhaps it's because Glock 17 sounds like this IRL.
working your *** off on projects you love to make is always,
way better than doing nothing at all :)
This is AWESOME! And you fixed 200 bugs!? WOW!
Wth, is that muddasheep?
Yeah. Muddasheep has contributed with a few songs for us, he's also a beta tester.
I think I mentioned before that I'm excited to hear more of Muddasheep's music. He did an awesome job in Half-Quake, and I'm really glad to know he's helped out with this mod.
Retards, this team has it's own life not only making this mod for you.
Congrats, going through lines of code and seeking out corrections is a real pain in the ***. Hope this reevaluates the completion date for the mod.
knife mode 1: for cutting salami
knife mode 2: for opening cans
Amazing work guys as always, just ignore the trolls, they couldn't make a mod to save their lives!
These are the best animations I have seen in a long time. And the High-Res?? I had no idea that Gold Source could be pushed that far. This is just amazing!
Can't wait till this comes out on halloween. I'm really looking forward towards its release. :)
umm that doesn't look like any switch blade I have ever owned...
love the animation and detail went into models and small details. the hd-texture work is outstanding (especially for source), also the vignette rocks ;)
congrats for such a good "run" and that much progress! hope it'll stay like that till finish. keep it up :)
Impressive animations.
Impressive EVERYTHING.
Hard work does pay off.
Holy **** guys, this is looking great. Keep it up!
The knife is a lockblade, not a switchblade, by the way. Just a word of advice.
Man, this is awesome. I AM STARTED SHUFFLING WHEN I READ THIS!!! But I just ate breakfast and now I feel bad. Well, these images are awesome, this news post is awesome!!! KEEP IT UP!
Oh, I said I am started shuffling, I was supposed to say I started shuffling. Oh BTW, someone is complaining about how this mod ins't progressing fast enough, I have something to say for the guy/girl who said that: This mod is one of the most updated mods I have seen on this site, every week I see a new update, so when you want to complain about something take some time to think about how good they are at this and how hard it is to make an average looking map let alone a map that looks very real!
omg shitest animez evr lmao!
awesome HD res!
awesome work, on the old engine :)
