Homebrew RELEASE Xash3D (Half-Life) - Custom Goldsrc Engine for Switch

[bad361]

it works incredibly fine except for the occasional framedrops and assets loading, so huge thanks to dev for this port ..everything in my build seems to be working well, even the sens settings in game options. But i have one strange issue, everytime i die, the game starts from the beginning and i have to load my last save manually... Its kinda annoying but acceptable since saving itself works nicely.

Cant add an image to the nro, asset editor just errors

Any solution for this?

Any chance of Counter Strike with multiplayer support?

 

[enderer]

i get the suit, i go through the airlock, it says 'loading' (common) then crashes the switch (2168-0002)

If the port evolves, it's entirely possible that this might happen, there's a version of cs 1.6 for xash3d on android, so if the switch version gets on par with the android version we could run it and many other games (I'd love to see Team Fortress and Day of Defeat too)...

The Vita port did receive support for Counter Strike 1.6 among others, so it is perfectly possible.

Does opposing force work this this version? The textures were all messed up when using the steam version.

Opposing Force, Blue Shift, CS and any other mod that has its own game libraries will not work in this until the appropriate game libraries are ported.
But it is entirely possible to port them.

This sounds like it runs out of memory. Try running it from NSP hbmenu or, if you're using Atmosphere, try overriding an actual game or game demo with HBL instead of the Album.

I have a issue where i can start the game correctly and i can see everything in the home menu but when i try to go and play anything it just crashes my switch.

I get the same 2168-0002 using HBL on 3.0. I deleted all saves and got round that.
It does still hang every now and then

I just took the folder files to share them. I don't even test the Opposing Force and BlueShift
Just the valve french one

Sure, this was in reply to people asking if OpFor or CS worked.

Do you mean your firmware version is 3.0 or do you mean you're using HBMenu 3.0?

Any solution to subtirules in game ?

Any solution to subtirules in game ?

As of 2016 people where still developing subtitle mods for xash3d, which dont work on arm, because of a certain engine dependency.

So with an uncertainty period of 2 years - no.

(Best answer I could come up with after 5 minutes of googling. )

I can also report, that I finished about a third of Half Life so far, on the switch in portable mode on easy. There are some instances, where darker colors on screen are crushed - so you dont see your souroundings in f.e. dark diving passages (end of blast pit) - but being guided by youtube walkthroughs continuing onward so far was possible.

Difficulty is managable on easy - at least so far. Playtime is about x1.7 of the game being played on PC - I'd say, because of the game really not being designed with controllers in mind, and much longer save/load times.

Playing it on normal probably really isnt a good idea, is what I'm trying to say here.

Frimware 3.0, I'm still on HBLoader V2.01

hi guys, i can't get this port working. I followed instruction but when i try to launch game with medium difficulty, nothing happens. I suppose i have to copy the half life game folder somewhere?

 

[sj33]

As per the instructions, you need to copy a clean /valve/ folder to the /xash3d/ folder on root.

With "clean" do you mean with just extras.pak inside it?
I tried that but still no luck

 

[notimp]

I just copied over the valve folder from a Half Life "installation medium", you can also copy it over from an installed version of Half Life (steam). That pereferably hasnt been run already (clean). If you start it on a PC, the PC launcher will start to change values in config files, that could conflict with xash3d.

All that is basically described in the first posting.

You can also compare filelists with a working version - I posted all the files in my install a page back. To compare them you can use (http://winmerge.org/?lang=en), or google compare text files and use an online difference checker (many text editors like notepad++ or textwrangler also have this function built in). "Hard" Part might be to get the structure indicaters in front of your "file list", or mine removed.

If you use a unix based system (Linux, MacOS, ..), or have installed the windows subsystem for linux - you can navigate into your valve folder and simply run:

find . -print | sed -e "s;[^/]*/;|____;g;s;____|; |;g"

to get the exact same formating on the files and folder structure as I used.

You can also do the mil... thing of "try a different copy - complain, that yo rom was bad".

Also - if you are on exfat and might have a corrupted file system), or copied the files over from a mac - NOT - using ftp (archive flag), those are potential points of failure as well. You have to trouble shoot those.

We've done everything you need to get this to run, including publishing a file list of a known working copy. We wont do remote "solve my pc problem for me" RDP sessions with you, and we wont PN you a download link to a pirated copy.

edit:

Also make sure that your xash3d folder containing the valve folder is in root, and not in the switch directory so

/xash3d/valve/

and not

/switch/xash3d/valve/

but that is also mentioned in the first post.

edit2: The .nro file can be anywhere, including /switch/isthisrandomenoughforyou/randomname.nro
