Contents
Interface
Font
Observed: HALF-LIFE is written in the same font as menu items. Expected: HλLF-LIFE written in its own special font, as seen in Half-Life: Source. —Alph Tech STUART 18:49, 3 May 2006 (PDT)
Obituaries
- There are no weapon-specific icons —ts2do 23:10, 5 May 2006 (PDT)
- Player names run off the right side of the screen when playing in certain screen resolutions such as 1280x1024. —Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
No Cursor
When a "Connection lost" or "Server shutting down" popup message is shown, mouse cursor is no visible, and the only way to continue is Alt+F4. Very annoying. —Matveims 17:11, 7 May 2006 (PDT)
- This occasionally happens in other source games as well. --Steamfraiser 07:20, 8 May 2006 (PDT)
- This has been fixed. —Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
Picking up Items
- The radius around an item in which a player picks up the item is slightly higher than that of original Half-Life, making it possible to get some items in a way in which they weren't made (example: not having to climb on top of a platform with an item near the edge). —Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
- All items that a player can use are duplicated. —ExtraVirus 01:00, 22 August 2020 (PDT)
Flashlight
Player models are not illuminated by other players' flashlight (although the weapon the player is holding is). —Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
Settings
- sk_plr_dmg_snark doesn't exist.
Dmx6 20:50, 21 Aug 2008 (GMT+01)
- That is not a bug, use sk_snark_dmg_bite and sk_snark_dmg_pop. — PsychoManiac87 03:06, 1 Sep 2008 (GMT+01)
Teamplay
- When you enter a Teamplay Server your model dont change to the Teamlist models.Dmx600:59, 22 Aug 2008 (GMT+01)
- When you have in "Team A" 5 Players and in "Team B" 1 Player the Game dont change players from Team A to Team B.Dmx600:59, 22 Aug 2008 (GMT+01)
- Team names are not listed on the scoreboard.
- Teamkilling will result a suicide icon and "unconnected" on the top-right of the screen.
Create Server Menu
In the "Create Server" Menu u cant select "Teamplay" and "Teamlist like the old HLDM."Dmx600:59, 22 Aug 2008 (GMT+01
Weapons
- Weapons don't switch after running out of ammo. —Alph Tech STUART 18:49, 3 May 2006 (PDT)
- A change in FOV does not, but should, produce a proportional change in mouse sensitivity —ts2do 23:45, 6 May 2006 (PDT)
- Weapons cannot be picked up while underwater, however ammo can. —Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
Crowbar
Crowbar strike sounds are not predicted (only audible to listenserver host, when cl_predict is 0, or from other players) —ts2do 22:59, 6 May 2006 (PDT)
9mm Pistol
- There is no separate player damage cvar for the pistol and assault rifle. So if sk_plr_dmg_9mm_bullet is adjusted to make the pistol stronger and do more damage, the ar/mp5 is also adjusted. There is, curiously, an NPC damage cvar for the ar/mp5 (sk_npc_dmg_9mmAR_bullet). Please add an sk_plr_dmg_9mmAR_bullet.
- Can't bind it to another button (bind mouse5 "use weapon_9ammhandgun" does not work) —ExtraVirus 00:59, 22 August 2020 (PDT)
357
The 357 model doesn't have a laser sight as it does in HLDM.
MP5
- Secondary fire on the 9mmAR/MP5 projects grenades at a slower speed than in the original HLDM, which detracts from their use significantly. --ReNo 14:58, 6 May 2006 (PDT)
- Can't bind it to another button (bind mouse5 "use weapon_9ammAR" does not work) —ExtraVirus 00:59, 22 August 2020 (PDT)
Shotgun
A double shot does not have its own sound as it does in HLDM. —ts2do 23:10, 5 May 2006 (PDT)
Gauss/Tau
- There is a significant delay/lag between releasing a charged shot (secondary fire) and it ACTUALLY being fired. This is a huge concern for gauss jumping, which relies on the gun reacting quickly to the player's input. --ReNo & Alph Tech STUART 17:59, 7 May 2006 (PDT)
- Displacement surfaces can act as "nukes" when hit with a charged gauss shot, damaging not only the person who fired the shot but also players in the surrounding area. This again hinders gauss jumping massively, given that most of the maps set outdoors now use displacement surfaces for much of the ground. --ReNo 14:57, 6 May 2006 (PDT)
- If the gun is charged or charging when entering water (the charge will freeze where it is if it isn't a full 11 ammo charge) it can be fired. —-Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
- The rate of primary fire is erratic. —Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
Gluon/Egon
- Ammo depletes slightly quicker than it should (based on HLDM). —Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
- There is a delay between the crosshair being on a player and the player taking damage. —Audioman612 16:45, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
Snarks
Apparently, snarks' sounds can cause pitch-out-of-bounds errors:
EmitSound: pitch out of bounds = 274 EmitSound: pitch out of bounds = 297 EmitSound: pitch out of bounds = 309
etc... This is especially common on snarkpit. —Matveims 17:24, 7 May 2006 (PDT)
- Snarks don't do any explosion damage after they die.
- Players don't see snarks equipped by other players in their hands. Instead, they see a snark nest.
Console Errors
Debugging under Microsoft Visual Studio
- with command line "-steam -game hl1mp -allowdebug -sw" and creating a listen server

Startup
Parent cvar in server.dll not allowed (sk_mp_dmg_multiplier) Parent cvar in server.dll not allowed (xc_uncrouch_on_jump)

—Matveims 19:17, 6 May 2006 (PDT)
crossfire
Door group bunker_maindoor has misaligned origin!
—ts2do 23:59, 5 May 2006 (PDT)
- Turrets above the bunker have (what appears to be) unrestricted movement range. They are easily stuck in an almost-vertical position, and do not recover until map is restarted. —Matveims 18:51, 13 May 2006 (PDT)
- The spawnpoint nearest the red dot in the given picture spawns the player too near the displacment and gives the player this sticky movement at first—ts2do 18:55, 13 May 2006 (PDT)
- The button that avtivates the airstrike sequence does not stop itself from being pressed multiple times (allowing players to cause never ending airstrikes). The button needs to ignore pushes after the airstrike sequence has been activated. —Audioman612 17:19, 7 Nov 2008 (PST)
frenzy

When walking over the bridge that extends to the rocket launcher, \hl2\sound\buttons\button2.wav (in source sounds.gcf) is played constantly, as if the bridge was a locked door. —Matveims 22:59, 6 May 2006 (PDT)

Half-Life Source Dedicated Server
Joining my Half-Life 1 server from steam browser: You are about to install Half-Life Deathmatch: Source Dedicated Server.... This makes no sense at all, why would a client need to install a server to join? This only happens with my server when I launch it from Steam Client Tools. --Lbertolotti (talk) 16:06, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
