Get A Life

jC_Omega · 27-04-2008 23:10:46

Hi everyone !

You were a lot to download Get A Life, and we hope you enjoyed it.

But some people complains about the difficulty of the mod and some bugs. Even if the beta-tests helps to reduce the number of bugs, when a mod is released there are often surprises, and GAL was no exception to the rule.

We thought about it, and today we' re releasing patch that brings two modifications :

-For those who finds the mod too hard, they can totally desactivate the bleeding system by a simple manipulation. Clic here to see the illustration
-Correction of script bugs, abnormal deaths, bleeding or abnormal vision during the first chapter and correction of certain bugs during the second chapter

Also some people suffer from crashes that we cannot solve, this problems happens in lots of mods currently. It is because of the Source SDK base from the new steam version (we advise you to disable it) or from the soundcache.

For those who have the new version of steam, while we are waiting for a patch, use these tips to play :
-Launch the mod
-In the graphic options, choose "windowed mod"
-Launch the first map
-When the map's loaded, choose "full screen mod" in your graphid options menu.

Hi there, great news about the patch.

However can you answer a few things?
Do I need the patch if I am just starting the forth chaper and have only had crashed/stalled twice so far.

What is the new steam? I have no sound problems that I know of and have sdk base and steam installed, both are set o update automatically. But isn't there only one version of each?

The 'new steam' is the newest beta version of the steam client.

Doesn't everyone realize that the music is simply in the sound/music folder? And that you can just copy it from there? Anyway...

I have noticed a few of the early-chapter bugs, but I managed to get around/avoid most of 'em. Also, I'm uploading this patch to my server to provide another mirror, if you'd like. Once it's uploaded, the URL will be:

Thanks!

@3-lions : Yep you need it, I fixed a few things along withe the "-imanoob" mod.

Anruyn · 28-04-2008 02:54:09

Ahhh I still get crashes ...

FlippedoutKyrii · 28-04-2008 04:46:31

Strangely enough, It never crashed for me...

jan-marten · 30-04-2008 22:07:21

Wow, I am not sure what is happening but the whole Renaisance level is just, well, a big crash point for me... I will try to describe...
With version 1, keeping the blur effect and if you fall down into a room through a ceiling I end up with 2 doctors while the rooms goes from left to right and at some moment this somehow freezes (*).
Ok, version 1.1. Wooooah, I can't control myself (got to noclip to keep a grip on myself). There are all sort of yellow blocks with "trigger" written on in it.

Well, gonna try it from the start again (fresh saves, maybe that'll do the trick, who knows).

Kind regards,

btw, mod looks cool though I didn't quite understand all the inventory stuff immediatally
(*) - also tried the windowed trick, didn't work with me.

your old save is corrupted, try to relod the map with the command "map renaissance" in console.

jan-marten · 30-04-2008 23:05:54

Great, thanks for the tip

evilferret · 01-05-2008 16:09:41

Do i need to download this? I think im past the first 2 chapters that suppositly have bugs (I didnt see any) and im not crashing so far. I am pretty far in the game. Probably the middle. I Love this game! It is like a movie. Like how in the begging everything is normal and then.......you know the rest if you played it.

sven · 01-05-2008 16:17:42

no, if you think the difficulties is not too hard for you, dont download the patch. but downloading the patch do not destroy your save.

painkiller · 03-05-2008 06:31:57

ENjoying the game alot. The blood thing can be a bitch sometimes because there's not many needles to go around, but other than that, it's been a fun ride...by far the best single player mod I've played, bar none! Congrats on your success..so far, it's been worth the wait!

nightwish · 04-05-2008 09:39:54

I haven't found any bugs! I finished all the game very fast without cheating and without the patch and I think that it was too easy for me 'cause I don't think that I used more than 4 antidots to stop the blood! But aniway this mod was the best!

nightwish · 05-05-2008 16:56:37

I've finished the mod but I have a question : Steam is required to play the mod otherwise you can't play it?

pyritz · 05-05-2008 18:40:34

Definitely.

nightwish · 05-05-2008 19:10:58

But I played it without Steam! I've installed Half-Life 2 Episode One (nosteam) and I installed the mod in the game's folder (for example the mod's folder was named "get a life") and I maked a shortcut of "hl2" and i've added in properties "-game get a life" without quotes and it worked perfect! But in properties you can write "game ........ (it depends of what is the mod's folder name)! And this worked at me at almost every mod!

pyritz · 05-05-2008 20:58:30

Really ? I dunno how it "react" with the localisation and stuff which are using steam's data...

nightwish · 05-05-2008 21:45:29

The mod doesn't need steam stuff cause at me worked very good and i didn't see any bug and the mod hasn't crashed at all! It works so good because it takes all the stuff that it needs from the game's directory without Steam! But at some computers you have to write in properties "-steam -game ....." without quotes but at me it worked just with "-game ...."!

agrsv · 13-08-2008 01:03:15

First I`d like to congratulate you for completing this project, it really turned out great. You created something really amazing !! The soundtrack is really cool too. By the way can you include the track which is playing during the trailer in the soundtrack pak ?

pyritz · 13-08-2008 10:57:04
