Half-Life Featureful SDK 2024-11-21

The mod sample is included in the archive, with the test map and assets

The provided FGD has an extended format used by J.A.C.K. and won't work with Valve Hammer Editor!

This release also includes the custom FGD provided by the community with assets like entity-specific icons and models that might help the level designer.

Note: zhlt entities are not included in the FGD. You must add zhlt.fgd to your game profile configuration in the map editor.

If you already have a mod in development based on Half-Life Featureful read this article to get the idea how to apply the new SDK version for your project.

Changelog

New visuals and soundscripts

• Added visuals and soundscripts for the Displacer Ball projectile. Now the look and the sounds of the Displacer Ball are configurable.

Changes to entities

• Added No camera punch spawnflag for env_beam and env_laser to disable player's camera "punching" when the beam deals damage to the player (trigger_hurt and trigger_hurt_remote already have the spawnflag with the same name). Thanks paperboy for suggestion.
• Added Start Sprite parameter for env_laser.
• The footstep sounds of monster_human_assassin now have longer delays between them if assassin is walking. In original Half-Life assassins play footstep sounds with same frequency independent of whether they run or walk.

Bugfixes

• Fixed Pitworm's eye blast soundscript not being precached (thanks @Alex-98X for reporting).
• Fixed trigger_xen_return not choosing the right info_earth_target (thanks @Alex-98X for reporting).
• Fixed some mistakes in JSON schemas.

Sample mode changes

• Floater and Flybee monsters are now enabled by default. The skill values for them have been added to the skill.cfg shipped with the sample mod.

Repository changes

• Automated tests for some functions and data structures now run along with the autobuild. The number of tests will grow with each release to cover as much code as possible.
