Bugfixed and Improved Half-Life Release (BugfixedHL for short) is a Half-Life modification that aims to improve DM experience for players and fix server bugs for server owners while being completely backwards-compatible with vanilla clients and servers.

BugfixedHL-Rebased is port of Lev's BugfixedHL on new Half-Life SDK. It features improved UI using VGUI2 library, Linux support and refactored source code for better maintainablity.

The mod features a number of improvements over stock client and server.

Client:

• Bunnyhopping (for servers that have it enabled)
• Colored HUD
• Raw mouse input via DirectInput
• Customizable crosshairs (like in CS:GO)
• Improved user interface
  • Scoreboard
  • Unicode and HTML MOTD (requires server support)
  • Chat with history, input editing and automatic splitting of long messages
  • Spectator UI
  • Team selection (used by some servers)
  • Command menu
  • Options dialog
• Automatic demo recording
• HUD support for WeaponMod
• Slowhacking protection (for old engine versions)
• Ability to disable custom player models completely

Server:

• Bugfixes and crash fixes
• Selfgauss can be disabled
• Welcome camera mode - after connecting, player is put into semi-spectator mode and can spawn with MOUSE1
• HTML and Unicode MOTD for clients that support them
• Fixed spectator mode
• Invisible model fix
• UTF-8 support

BugfixedHL has been integrated into Valve's latest HLSDK and has been refactored:

• CMake as build system (instead of Makefiles and VS projects).
• Source code formatted to one style with clang-format.
• Organized source code files:
  • HLSDK sources moved to /src/.
  • /cl_dll, /dlls and /game_shared moved to /src/game/.
  • /game_shared cleaned up from unused code.
  • Removed /utils completely (used to contain utilities like map and sprite compilers).
• Client sources refactoring:
  • VGUI1 replaced by VGUI2 (like in CS1.6).
  • Moved all VGUI code to client/vgui.
  • Moved all HUD elements to client/hud, each of them now has its own .h file.
  • Replaced HUD messages and commands macros with templates.
  • HUD elements are no longer referenced in hud.h (improves compilation times when changing hud/*.h.
  • Added ConVar class for easier convar creating with description support (like in Source SDK).
  • Removed unused code.
• Fixed include guards in common header files.
• Documented engine APIs (thanks to Solokiller).

Type version in the console. You will see something like this.

] version 
Protocol version 48
Exe version 1.1.2.2/Stdio (valve)

8308 in the last line is your engine version.

If you encounter an issue while using BugfixedHL, first search the issue list to see if it has already been reported. Include closed issues in your search.

If it has not been reported, create a new issue with at least the following information:

• a short, descriptive title;
• a detailed description of the issue, including any output from the command line or game console;
• steps for reproducing the issue;
• your system information*;
• the version output from the in-game console;
• the about output from the in-game console.

Please place logs either in a code block (press M in your browser for a GFM cheat sheet) or a gist.

* The preferred and easiest way to get this information is from Steam's Hardware Information viewer from the menu (Help -> System Information). Once your information appears: right-click within the dialog, choose Select All, right-click again, and then choose Copy. Paste this information into your report, preferably in a code block.

There are basic rules of conduct that should be followed at all times by everyone participating in the discussions. While this is generally a relaxed environment, please remember the following:

• Do not insult, harass, or demean anyone.
• Do not intentionally multi-post an issue.
• Do not use ALL CAPS when creating an issue report.
• Do not repeatedly update an open issue remarking that the issue persists.
