v1.5.1

This release is a notification that this project is being deprecated and replaced by BugfixedHL-Rebased which uses a newer version of HL SDK, has more features and better Linux support.

Please download BugfixedHL-Rebased beta instead.

v1.5.0

Multimode

Check out Half-Life Multimode, a new server gamemode!
https://github.com/tmp64/BugfixedHL/tree/multimode

Client

New features

• Added cl_hidecorpses to hide player corpses.
• Added cl_fix_standing_corpses to fix standing corpses.
• Added highlight of the killer to VGUI2 Scoreboard.
• Enabled update checking in development builds.

Bugfixes

• Fixed lines being missing from HUD messages when color codes are present.
• Fixed color code parsing on VGUI2 chat.
• Fixed text selection and copying in VGUI2 chat.
• Fixed mouse issues in VGUI2 chat.
• Fixed custom chat input (e.g. in amx_plugincvarmenu) when VGUI2 chat is enabled.
• Fixed CRLF handling in VGUI2 MOTD.

Server

Bugfixes

• Fixed protocol 47 client not being able to connect to the server because of CVar querying.
  p47 is detected based on SteamID. If it's "STEAM_ID_LAN" or "VALVE_*" and sv_lan = 0, then client is considered p47 and cvars are not queried.
• Players can't leave welcome cam instantly (200 ms delay) to allow plugins put them into spectator mode.
• Fixed CBaseMonster offsets to match vanilla server library.

Changes

• Added sv_disable_cvar_query for LAN servers.
• Added mp_respawn_fix (default on) to select:
  • 1 - corpses are not stuck in animations but there is a bit of respawn delay (default BHL behavior);
  • 0 - no delay but corpses are stuck (vanilla behavior).

Other

• Thanks to @rtxa for many of this update's fixes.

v1.4.0

General

• Updated versioning scheme to match Semantic Versioning v2.0.0 standart.

Client

Warning! Installing this version will overwrite your GameMenu.res file to add a button for Advanced options. If you made any changes, please back the file up before installing.

New features

• BHL options are now stored in separate bugfixedhl.cfg config file to prevent vanilla client.dll removing them.
  • You may add your own settings to the end of the config, they will be kept as-is.
• Added advanced options dialog that contains almost all client settings.
• Added an option to play bell sound on kill: cl_killsound 1.

Bugfixes

v1.3

Automatic development builds

• Can be found on repo's AppVeyor page
• May be unstable or broken.

Server

Server API

• Available from C++ (Metamod plugins) and AMX Mod X.
• Check out the wiki page for more details.

Linux

• Removed hardcoded weapons damage in multiplayer (#13)

Client

Update checker

• The client now has an update checker that will print a message to the console and open a VGUI2 window in the menu.

VGUI2

  • Ported from Source SDK 2013 and looks just like in any Source game.
  • If you don't like it, you can disable it with hud_saytext_oldchat 1

  • Unicode and HTML require server support.
• Scoreboard
  • The scoreboard will automatically change row size if all players don't fit on the screen

HUD

• Added speedometer (#18)
• Added colors for ammo (#15)
• Added "_toggle" command (#16)
• Text messages now support color codes.
• Colorcodes ^0 and ^9 now reset to default color (like in OpenAG).

• Releases now come with a .pdb file for debugging.
