I've seen a few articles about it here and there for the past couple years, but never devoted much of my time into waiting for it. Buts since it's coming, it would be nice to have something to break up my recent Counterstrike and Frozen Throne monotony.

I know I'll be putting up a HLRally server.. of course, I don't have nearly as much cpu power at my disposal as LB does, so it'll take the place of my TS server for a couple days  :(

Not that it matters, as no one here knows of or plays on my TS server.. as I don't really advertise it.. and if I did I wouldn't dare advertise it here as not to try to anger the Lunix gods.

Someone guessed a password, and hacked their website in the middle of the release... It may be a while longer.

gg.


The nub-arse blackhat cracker didnt even put a tag on the site.

I wonder if he even used linux.

I cant wait to find out if he proxied...betcha he didn't

Post by: Grimm on April 12, 2004, 03:05:31 AM
Too bad there never was a "middle of release", or any kind of release to speak of. With how much they're delaying it, I wouldn't be surprised if they made up the hacker story to cover their asses.

With how things are going now, and how things have been going throughout the duration of the project, I think it would be best to assume that HLRally won't be released. That way, everyone who's been anticipating the release of this can mope about one big let-down instead of hundreds of little ones every twenty minutes.

Heh, sounds like things aren't going too well for them.  Take a listen to the mp3 on their site.

I don't really care when its released, so long as its by 4:00pm PST

I, for one, will upload it to my school webspace whenever I get it tomorrow, if anyone wants a fast download link.

Umm... A racing game with the HL engine? You mean, like, a game where the FASTEST PERSON wins? I.e. he who bunnyhops? This'll be good. ;)

most definitely.  Actually RECORDING oneself like that just gives the filthy ickle hax0r what they want.

But that sucks.  A lot.  :(

Post by: BobTheJanitor on April 12, 2004, 10:36:19 AM
Well the MP3 is down and now they've got brand new forums up. But, really new forums, so almost zero content. And no one of intelligence seems to be posting on there, just the same people that were sitting in #hlrally all day yesterday and discussing how cool it was to be 12 years old.

I just wanna see new model replacements of cars. I hope some NS modeler from the forums makes an onos replacement or someting. That would be awesome to see that in your rear view mirror.

It's a racing game, nubcaek! As in, go really fast and turn corners and try and be the first to get to the finish line. Yes, it's a half life mod with NO bunny hopping, NO guns, and NO kills. MADNESS I TELL YOU!!!

You can buy a third hive then use charge as a nitro boost.

bleh forget HLRally... we need someone to make GordonKart.  Complete with barney, gordon, g-man and many other zany characters from HL riding their own custom carts.  You can engage in wacky combat using such favourites as the heat-seeking headcrab, slave lightning bolts, gargantua flames and much, much more ^~

yeah i was about to mention that. That was a fun mod. I just loved how one of the bumpercars was a TSA marine riding an onos, and one of the maps looked like ns_eclipse.

and who could forget seeing Otis riding in a giant donut box... fun stuff.

back to the HLrally topic though... I'd absoloutely love it if someone would make the warthog from Halo for a vehicle... that would kick some ass quite mightily, sir.

Yeah.. HLBC was great.. I'm kinda disappointed that they have stopped development until HL2..
Oh well, Bumpercars plus havok physics isn't something to be too disappointed about  :D

Dammit.. the last time I checked it was the HL2 logo with bumpercars.. and the forums said something to the extent of "No work till HL2"
Curse them all.

I wouldn't say moved to the correct forum.. The way I see it, it was at the time posted, in the correct forum.. Then you went and made a more correct forum. So its less moved to the correct forum and more.. moved to the correcter forum..
That is, if correcter was infact a word.  (http://gtc.criticaltarget.com/forums/html/emoticons/shiftyph34r.gif)

See ya guys tonight when I get done with my afternoon nap v_v I'll probably hang out at ANeM's server, unless LB puts up a hlrally server.

On another note, I tried it really quick.  Either this mod is really stinking hard or I am retarded, because I couldn't drive 5 feet without randomly skidding out into a 180. <_<  Perhaps I'm just not staying on the road well enough.

As for my server.. LB deleted my small advert and put up a LM server..

And as for controlling.. It depends.. I suggest setting it up so you can steer with the keyboard. Then, when you get the hang of that, try to mix in the mouse with it.. Because the mouse is generally better to drive with.
Also, don't forget to customize the car at the beginning of the race. I suggest starting with Preformance tires.
Also, to switch to auto transmission, do "rally_manual 0" in console
I find manual transmission is better, but auto of course would suit someone whos just beginning quite nicely..

I think the most amusing thing I've run into so far is the ingame MP3 player, designed just to look like a winamp skin.. Works quite nicely though, and also works with online radio.. Missing a couple authentic winamp features, such as the equalizer.. but oh well. Still looks cool. Also, comes loaded with a couple good songs/radio stations.
