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

[cucholix]

Is that the WON version of HL1? In that one liblist.gam has a different library name in it. Try replacing it with this one and delete gameinfo.txt if it's there.
Technically it's not officially supported in the new engine, but it should probably work since we have our own game libraries.

It's the GOTY Edition, 1998.
Will check the edited liblist.gam when I get home

I would still probably recommend using the Steam version since I don't know how well the older ones will actually work.

nice let's go to try

 

[deejay87]

Possible to hide he fps on top right ?

 

[fgsfds]

Open xash3d/valve/config.cfg, change cl_showfps from 1 to 0. Alternatively enter cl_showfps 0 in the console and hit A.

[deejay87]

Perfect

I do not have a Steam version to test but GOY and WON are booting by editing liblist.gam. However it is impossible to finish the beginning where you are in the train, the train does not want to go down at the first elevator and you are stuck inside.

Saves are getting corrupt too

 

[fgsfds]

Yeah, I'm guessing new engine (or the current version of hlsdk-xash3d) isn't compatible with those then. I'll poke around and see if anything can be done about this.

 

[cucholix]

Can confirm that the Steam version works without issues

It was in fact a problem with the Switch port. It couldn't correctly read more than one map from a .pak file because of a build setting that I forgot to disable.
New hotfix release (download link).
Only fixes that problem (hopefully). Also comes with the "proper" liblist.gam in case you're not using the Steam version of HL. Only the NRO has changed, so if you had the previous version installed, only replace that and the valve folder.
That being said, there still might be problems with the WON version that I don't know about. Use the Steam version if you can.

@fgsfds I'm having random crashes during loading screens in HL, it throws the typical "The software was closed because an error occurred" v0.20-nx1

Can you give me the AMS crash report?

 

[cucholix]

Can you give me the AMS crash report?

I'm not at home rn, and the issue was present before the hotfix, should try to trigger the bug in the hotfix?

 

[fgsfds]

Yeah, you can test if it still appears. Not sure if anything's changed on that front.
@cucholix Actually, can you test these and see if the issue still appears? Extract archive to your xash3d folder and replace everything.

working great now with GOTY edition, load/save are working fine too (tested about 10 saves and loads no problem anymore). I went until the end of the experience, no crash on my side with only the hotfix.

I will test more tomorrow. Many thanks for your work, very appreciated.

Will we get any further optimizations to the long in-game pauses, or can that be remedied with a faster SD card?

 

[cucholix]

Did a stress test entering/exiting a loading spot, it didn't crash after like 10 attemps, but it went to a black screen in the 11th attemp, it left a fatal.log in the xash3d folder

Fatal error: Mem_Free: not allocated or double freed (free at ../engine/common/model.c:110)

 

[fgsfds]

Which build is that on?
