Introduction to the new version of Testmod:

With Testmod 5 i have introduced the use of Force Powers for the player, there are 6 forces available for the moment, to use them the right way you will have to learn how to select and activate them.

Forces use a hud similar to the weapon hud, you bring the hud by pressing the keys 6 7 8 just like weapons use the keys 1 to 5.

Each key has two Forces that you select just like weapons, the force is now selected but not activated, to use it you have to press F3
Forces are time based, but you can stop them immediately by pressing on F4.

To close the Forces hud, just press on F1, the force remain selected and ready to use.

You can use many forces toghether, and often you will have to combine them to reach your goals.

Forces use energy called Mana, the mana status bar appears at the bottom center of the screen, mana restore automaticaly, each Force use mana depending on the time of use or just a certain ammout for those who are not time based.

Forces are experience based, the more the player progress the more experience will grow and give Forces more power, the maximum mana will also grow. You start with 50% of experience.

In the game you start with 6 forces :

Force speed : to run faster during a certain time.

Force jump : to jump very high and resist to falls

Force see : to see in the dark

Force throw : to throw away your ennemies and damage them.

Force traction : to get objects ( weapons, ammo...) out of reach.

Force heal : to regenerate your health if your health is not too low.


In that version i also have added the ability to play mp3 in Half-Life, to do this i use the fmod.dll.
This dll MUST BE in the Half-Life folder and not in the mod folder.
If you get an error message about a dll during the start, it's because you did not place that dll in the right place, or maybe you have a very old version of Half-Life using the old code.
You must have version 1.1.0.0 minimum, version 1.1.0.7 is the best choice.

The mp3 music files are used for musical background, they are use only in the first map for testing. You can adjust the music volume easily in the game by pressing on the keys O or P.

If the default key configuration for forces and music does not match your desires, you can set it up as you like in the config.cfg file of the mod.

By default for Forces you have :

bind "6" "slot6"
bind "7" "slot7"
bind "8" "slot8"
bind "9" "slot9"

bind "F1" "cancelforce"
bind "F3" "startforce"
bind "F4" "stopforce"

For mp3 music :

bind "o" "voldown"
bind "p" "volup"
