Alien Swarm Build of HL2Wars

Post by Sandern » Wed Dec 29, 2024 10:14 pm

Last few days made a port of HL2Wars to the Alien Swarm code base (just for fun). This is a small first look on it.



You can also download it from:
http://www.hl2wars.com/downloads/asw_wars_alpa_test.zip

Don't expect too much of it. You need to extract the folder in your sourcemods folder and then restart steam.
There is NO main menu. I stripped everything related to alien swarm and replaced it by the hl2wars code. So basically it's hl2wars on the new engine. This build does not provide any hl2 content, so you will get error models if you try to spawn something.

How to use:
  • Add "-console" to your launch parameters.
  • To start something open the console and use the map command ( map asi_* )
  • Use "load_gamepackage asw" to load the alien swarm package. It adds "unit_marine" to the unitpanel list.

Cool! Can we also make other builds like this for HL2 Wars?

I think he means having it for 0.5 or for future builds. Having HL2 Wars in Alien Swarm and showing us.
