    Overall Progress

    3D Model: 98%
    UV Maps: 10%
    Textures: 20%
    JBeam: 85%
    Lua Scripting: 70%
    Props: 90%
    Sound: 90%
    Half-Life 3: Confirmed



    Update 04 - 05.31.20

    Im back after a lot-of-months pause, I'm just updating this with the current state of the mod. The FrontEnd was finally added and the Lights works fine, but the whole car needs to be enhanced A LOT and some parts may even need to be remade, the car's body is currently white because i had to for skinning purposes, (original HL2's skin will be available when released). By now i'm fighting against some powertrain problems, once i fix them i'll continue with enhancement.

    sorry everyone for leaving this for too long... as you can see mod is like 90% completed (excluding polishing) but i had to forcefully pause it, y'all know: life is... life

    Short video I posted on twitter last time i worked on this

    thank you so much i cant wait to see this. I can beta test as early as you want man I am really excited for this!!

    Also you are doing a great job already with the breakable parts and all. Very excited to see how this turns out!!

    Also if you want me to make development videos/promo videos I can do that. (also I can edit them) I can run beam at full settings with no stutter so its great for recording videos. I am a huge half life fan so I am super excited to see this.

    AFAIK Jalopy was the car Valve planned to add for the Ep2 (a VW Beetle buggy) but was discarded and they made Muscle Car instead replacing the old Jalopy files with the Muscle car ones. Most people think Muscle car = Jalopy because Valve didn't changed the internal name of the car.

    See the texture on the wall behind the seats? maybe you could use that as a temporary texture for the inside of the trunk. Just an idea.

    Also, looking at the changelog, I can see you aren't cutting any corners. This is going to be an AWESOME mod!
