Half-Life 2 Mod Creation FAQ Released

Posted by simoniker on Friday July 4, 2003 @01:32PM from the heady-hopper-and-crabby-winchell dept.

blue2k writes "The VERC website has released a new official FAQ containing plenty of new information pertaining to the forthcoming, eagerly awaited Half-Life 2 SDK, and development with the Source engine." The FAQ answers such questions as how to get lip-syncing working in your mod ("To start with, you'll need to author keyshapes, or morph targets for each of your characters. Our facial animation system uses 34 keyshapes, 14 of which are required for proper lip-sync animation."), and co-operative gameplay in Half-Life 2 ("..we aren't doing a co-operative mode, but the mod community.. [particularly] Sven Co-op has expressed great interest in this.")

Not that I have heard of. They would be stupid not to.

Valve owns counter-strike now, remember. Valve will most likely port it.

I'd guess that the most work they would have to do with it, is making it behave very similarly to the old counter-strike.

One has to ask, is there a definitive answer from the CS team as to them porting that mod to the new HL2 engine?

CSNation reports that it will.
