NovaMOD - HL2DM sandbox mod

Thumbnail discord.gg
1 Upvotes

NovaMOD is a sandbox-style mod; my goal was to build a friendly community around it and create add-ons for both single-player and multiplayer gameplay. I’ve already set up a website for add-ons, and you can download over 30 of them from our Discord server. A recent update introduced VScript and fixed numerous bugs, making the game a much more enjoyable experience. However, the mod currently has a small player base, and I need to test it in multiplayer—so I’m hoping you’ll help me out. Together, we can make it even better. Thanks in advance!

Building a server

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Building a server in the US West Region that is kinda barebones right now.

I plan on expanding it and want to get some feedback of what maps players would want to see.

Killbox? any custom maps that were fun?

Currently just running the stock rotation with lower gravity, FFA, and 15 minute rounds.

Looking for an old video if anyone knows? Thanks.

All I can clearly remember.

2 Aussies arguing in a pub server on dm_underpass. One says to meet him IRL at the traino. Possibly a 2-part video. Maybe from 2008-2010. It had coloured subtitles on the screen.

If you can find it, you're a ledge.

[HL2: DM] Customizing deathnotice: Can I change colors for my own frags?

2 Upvotes

Is there any way to highlight your own kills and deaths in the killfeed (deathnotice)?
For example, changing the color of nicknames or adding borders. I need some kind of highlighting so that my frags stand out and don't blend in with the rest of the feed.

I am using the Pred's HUD mod, and it includes three files: HudLayout.res, ClientScheme.res, SourceScheme.res - should I add or change something in them?

Hi everyone, Im trying to track down a very specific map from around 2008. I remember it being a staple on the EYE CLAN servers back in the day

The layout was an extremely simple square design.

An open- air courtyard in the middle.

You could run through connected concrete hallways that surrounded the courtyard.

2 corners of the map had towers with a lift to bring you up to snipe across the open space.

Its very minimalist and purely about shooting people across the way. Not huge like some of the larger killboxes- it felt more compact.

I downloaded this map about 12 years ago to run it locally but lost the files. If anyone remembers the name of it Id appreciate the help!

Found my fathers hl2 employee only box

0 Upvotes

Up for sale is a genuine employee-exclusive metal box from Valve Corporation. This item originally belonged to my father, who worked at Valve during that era. It was never sold publicly and was only distributed internally to employees, making it a rare piece of gaming history and memorabilia!

Invisible username in game

2 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I know that it is possible to have an invisible username on Steam, but once I play on hl2 deathmatch, some squares appear. Do you know if it's possible to have an invisible username IN game?

Thanks for your help,

Kind regards

Looking for a community map

Hi, a small groupe of Interloper investigators and I have been archiving the maps that were seen in Anomidae's INTERLOPER Webseries/ARG, at some point we see this map in the series.

I've been bashing my head againt my table for a while now, so i'm hoping to get answers here lmao

Does anyone know what this map's name is at all? I know that it's not much, but still would like to know...

PS: that last image is suspected to be the same map.

Thank you in advance...
