and whos that guy with the briefcase at the end..he seems weird

i tried searching google for a layout of the hl1 storyline but couldnt find one

[SaLiVa]

RoFL King Mustard.

I think you go down...

You're in Novaprospekt yes?

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Where is this autoexec.cfg file? Do I have to create it or something?

Is it actually the config.cfg file in the HL2 cfg folder? Because I do see some, not all, of the same options there...

I was already down. I have worked my way up and there was a supply crate up there that I destroyed with bullets, so I am guessing it's where I should be heading...

You need to play HL1 to know who the guy with the briefcase is. He's more than what you think.

Lets just say he's a businesssssss guy...

Well, theres certainly no puzzle there. Im sure you go down... You fought off a lot of Combines right? They are on top arent they? I think you change sides, the path is cut off somewhere so you have to go to the other side somehow.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

create one.

584951085[/snapback]

Thanks for the reply.

Created it, and maybe it is my imagination and wishful thinking, but it does actually seem to have helped some.

S-s-stuttering is still there, but nowhere near as bad is it was. In fact the helicopter which always cause stuttering did not for the first time with these settings.

So it looks like this is indeed along the right track.

Thanks FatCat (Y) Definitely better. Off to try some of the other fixes.

Yea SaLiVa is right, that guy is GMan. Mystical man, I think the HL2 ending was quite good, bit short, I just hope there is a HL3.

[nekrosoft13]

i'm gonna try that once i get home

[sfay]

Hey I am stuck ...

Trying to get into the combine hq to stop the white "supression" weapon ... but I can't figure out how to get into that place, the blue shields are up and barney and I are running around but can't figure out where to go.

Thanks

Follow the blue sensor lines. They usually help, theres one open pathway at the corner of the building. There, theres a blue sensor that activates some security turrets, destroy them and I htink its quite linear from there.

Did you get the Silver Package or Bronze Package? The Silver Package has Half Life Source - Which is a refurbished (Rubbish refurbishment) version of Half Life. Theres going to be a release of the original Half Life by some team. Watch out for that. I think www.planethalflife.com should have it. Opposing Forces and Blue Shift are optional, but give you a good perspective of what GMan really does. Maybe G stands for God?

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

:yes: Yup, I'm reading about (and trying to fix) it now.

I'm trying the codec thing in the third link now.

--DK

It might be just a little to early to tell, but I left the autoexec.cfg file as is with FatCats changes, and I also tried the 3rd link provided by DK above with the codec trick (just follow the instructions on the page), and that combination SEEMS TO HAVE DONE THE TRICK!!!!!!

After disabling the MP3 audio codec as the thread istructs you to do, I just played a good 10 minutes with NO STUTTERING!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed this does work, but 10 minutes without a single stutter is WAY better than what I have experienced so far.

@nekrosoft - you might want to try that codex trick as well.

Thanks to everyone! Even if the problem is not fully fixed, it us obviously much better than it was!!!

G stands for government, i'm not saying he works for the government but that's what the G stands for in gman (in half-life and out)

of course there will be hl3, they already probably started working on it.

hl is a big money maker, they will keep making next parts until people gonna get sick of it

RoFL! Poor you. There were only two snipers in Normal Mode. Just to check you count. Maybe you need to trigger it somehow (Throw the grenades to the windows). Or maybe Barney needs to get an MIT education like Gordon :p

[SaLiVa]

584951455[/snapback]

RoFL! Man... Must've been hard killing those snipers from that floor!

[DjmUK]

Grenade Snipers - nailed them 3rd time (normal mode).

Go all the way up to Barney, look out for the green/blue laser beams (sniper lasers) and throw a grenade at the top of the window to get it in. 1st sniper is behind Barney, the other one isn't.
