I have been playing it for a few days now and find the subtle differences in the stock maps welcoming.

It perked up the tired old maps. The pings I have played seem pretty stable too.

Anyone know what editor you use to make a map for this? 3.5 or 4.0?

4.0, it's a Source game. I haven't tried mapping for it yet, but here's the FGD: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Half-Life_Deathmatch_Source.fgd.

Good to hear it get's played. Last time I checked servers crashed almost every 10 minutes.

I love the new Bounce.

This reminder has provoked me to play it.

I like it, and would welcome the chance to frag it with some of you'alls.

There aren't many servers so locating each other shouldn't be a hassle.

Last time I played it there were some major differences to HL1 that killed it for me. The ultra-slow MP5 grenades, delay in releasing charged gauss shots, and displacement surfaces damaging you when you try to gauss jump from them were the main issues I had. Sadly I don't think there were ever any updates to fix these problems <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

I must be out of practice. I noticed none of those things so far. Now, I bet they will haunt me. Thanx Duncan. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

I dunno, I liked what I played thus far. /me hopes I am not illusioned.

I might also give it another try. It always sounded like a nice idea and it seems they fixed the ugliest bugs already (though I fear this game gets even less support than HL2DM).

I played today in fact. No issues. Might be though that I was re-learning the maps and, didn't focus on much but the paths and the alterations in the displacements.

Reaper and I just had a great time. And if I might add, even though I got kicked out for a few minutes, I still got second place. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

/me is still roxor.

In just a few minutes, I'm gonna frag some more HL1 source if anyone wants to join.

My thoughts exactly. They obviously didn't try to cater this game towards experienced HL1 players - but maybe that's the point, create a filter that keeps all the noob raping 'leet' out. Meh, I wish it were better.

I haven't played any HL-based game except PVK II in ages.

Mayhap I should get back in.

For all its flaws, which I didn't really notice, I had a blast.

Gwil didn't whip me to badly, but he and I had 1st and 2nd place each round. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

The things I noticed with HL1DM:S


  • The guass shoots faster.
  • The contact grenades for the MP5 have much more damage
  • The water looks prettier, but you cannot see your foes under it for the swirls. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">
  • You run faster.
  • There seems to be some lag, thats not related to ping.
  • The pistol is less accurate.
  • The hivehand has less tracking ability.
  • The Snarks are just as satisfying as always.
  • The maps seem darker.
  • Crossfires extra entries to the bunker, seal with the door now.

These are just my casual notices and they could be just my perspective not actual facts.

Yea, those things can wipe out a whole room now image

Anyway, I'm glad you reminded us of this game, Orpheus. For all it's little flaws it has a nice mix of oldschool and nostalgia. I might include it in my regular fragging programme. It could actually be a nice game to map for. A small community starts to form around it.

I wonder... Since its mostly HL1 and not to much Source, would it be worth it to switch SPC to HL1DM:S ?

I mean, SPC won't ever be played for HL1, and Its never gonna see HL2DM, but just how much would have to be altered for HL1DM:S?

The biggest hurdle that presently stands in the way of completing SPC is the compiling. Its a pain, and thats putting it mildly. In fact, pulling teeth is a bit easier.

Anywho, what'cha guys think, can SPC be easily swapped to Source HL1?
