Technology and Gaming
#1

i recently found HL2 beta anon (its funny how unfinished it is) and quite alot of maps dont work the list of maps ive tried that work are d1_trainstation_01 d1_trainstation_03 d1_trainstation_05 e3_techdemo_(all) except on 1 the new gman model doesnt appear its the HL1 model the whole time with no speech

#2

You probably won’t get any support for HL2 Beta on these forums.

Google would be your best bet in this case.

#3

It is a Beta after all (ie. not ready for use by the general public).

A lot of the stuff is broken & there’s really no way to fix the leak. That’s why there are mods out there that remake the content with the retail engine.

#5

Isn’t there a mod that assorts it all together for you? Missing Information I think it’s called.
Or is this the dark beta that I love so much?

#6

Missing information is the Black Mesa of the beta, re-making and reconstructing an entire beta campaign from custom content and educated guesses on the original intended experience. This is the actual beta leak he’s talking about.

#7

Missing Info also doesn’t have nearly as many of the maps from the leak, which is worth a look more for curiosity’s than anything for playable.

#8

Missing Information isn’t updated since December 29, 2008!

#9

man , it is not a beta. it is a stolen piece of :fffuuu:

#10

so forget about it

#11

thanks for the list Dias (however a few of the listed non working maps work for me due to patches) and i need some other help, when i patch hl2 anon with the axel project which makes it even closer to the source engine the game stops responding when the menu comes up and just closes is there a fix for it? or is it compatibility issues with my computer

#12

if you mean the beta with the air exchange campaign no, however i do have those maps due to a map pack this is the one after they scrapped the original darkness and started on the retail HL2 that we all know and most of us love also i would get Missing Info but it doesnt have the original maps theyre all modified for real source engine i like seeing how valve actually had it at first you would laugh at the original voice acting for the combines lol

#13

hl2’s leak or “beta” is a lost cause.I had to learn that the hard way. I lost too much time on that (by trying to fix the leak. I even tried to join few mods). The dark industrial style really caught my heart. Your best bet is to join some surviving hl2 beta community and just stop looking for a way to fix it. Imo you better stop, because its like a drug. :slight_smile:

#14

It’s what valve had a week before release.

#15

You’re wrong.

Missing Information 1.6 was released a year ago > :frowning:

#16

last update was 3 days ago

#17

Missing Info has some really cool stuff in it. Can’t wait to see what they do with the beta storyline.

#18

meh if i was good at mapping and coding i would attempt fixing it but i have no experience in either so even though i want to fix it and upload a nearly completely fixed release i couldnt however i fixed the axel project crash i was having by deleting the background files and also get the awesomely dark background to keep, still one thing though, downloaded a half life 1 map pack for it and dont know where to put it i tried both maps folders (the one in hl2 folder and the one in root folder) they dont show
