I played a bit last night. I found the client to be fast, smooth, and
stable. Very very nice looking, Crossfire was awesome! OMG, even the windows
had broken glass shards sticking out of the frame. But the server kept
crashing. I'll try to fire up a server this weekend and see how it works.
I'm guessing all the old mods will need to be redone from scratch? Is this
finally the end of OP4? Remember who told you first. Non source multiplayer
games will be phased out, and eventually Valve will shut off the master
servers, just as they shut down WON. Source is the future.
OTOH, who will play this? How many will stay with HL1DM (not that there are
that many people playing anymore anyhow). This looks very nice, but I'm
betting it will never become very popular. Few people play HL1 DM anymore. I
hope I'm wrong, but my pessimistic side is winning out right now. Where is
HL1Dm:Source going to go? Where will the players come from? What is Valve
going to do to get people to play Source mods? Besides Counter-Shite, that
is?

I downloaded the HL2E1 "pre" files last night and along with it came
Half-Life Deathmatch: Source. It seemed pretty buggy to me. It took
several tries of loading to get it up without fragging the video. Once it
was up, it straightened out and looked great, but when I shut it down, it
hung and I had to Cntl-alt-del to get it down all the way. Does that
every
time on my setup.
I tried to run a listen server and everything worked great except that we
started getting lag when only two or three people were playing on it.
Dunno
what that's about.
Anyhow, it's another nice gimme from Valve and when they get the bugs out
I'm guessing it will be popular. I don't figure they intend to do away
with
Deathmatch Classic. Remember, it's a salute to the people at id software.

We (I) am asking about HL1DM:Source. Not the HL1:source that has been out
for a while. The DM:Source is supposed to be HL1DM redone in HL2DM Source
Engine. I've played it and it's pretty ugly compared to regular HL1. I
hope if they do plan on phasing out the older version that they get this
one
fixed first.

Am I missing something? Is Are we talking about HL2 DM, or is this
actually
Half-Life (Not HL2) death match - source, instead of the old non-source
Half-Life multiplayer?
And if this is what is going on, is the non-source HLDM going to be turned
off sometime soon? Have I been living under a rock lately?

As this is released, I wanted to convert an old map to the new system.
Does
anybody know when the Hammer config will be included to use this game?
