CS 1.5 Released

[CSN NewsBot]

Counter-Strike 1.5 and Half-Life 1.1.1.0 have been released! Our mirrors listing is up for English versions of the patch only. Important tidbits:

• the new demoplayer is in this patch. no word if this is a test version or what, but type in viewdemo [demoname] and then press f2.
  
  
  
  
• on that note, to make f1 and f2 rebindable go to your half-life or cs retail directory, open the valve subdirectory, and then the cl_dlls subdir. rename the gameui.dll to something else, like gameui.bak (so it's easy to remember). these keys will be used for tracker and the viewdemo command in future versions.
  
  
  
  
• if you have the hardware, and the eyeballs, 1600x1200 mode is finally in half-life.
  
  
  
  
• remember, you can always tell your friends to go to http://csnation.counter-strike.net/cs15.php for the largest listing of cs and hl patch mirrors.
  
  
  
  
• nextwish's script pack doesn't seem to work for cs 1.5 yet. until he gets this sorted out, try out rze's cs helper (which works under cs 1.5).

"Mad props," as my mother would say, to scr0llwheel, for handling the early morning release coverage.



Thanks to ms, Erik Johnson, and cliffe for helping us out.

Great coverage today. Thanks scr0llwheel and some fellow named rizzuh!



A lot of visitors and only a few minutes of downtime.



I hope everyone got their file(s) quickly and easily.

And now for some fun quotes from the cheating community regarding VAC.

Doesn't matter. Even if OGC puts out another version, VALVe has found an ever-so-simple solution to get around OGC checking the security modules to see if it would be detected or not



I haven't seen it in action, but I do know how they're doing it, and it'll work



Have fun

I doubt that OGC will ever reappear in the public domain the way it has before. Likely all new OGC releases will be lame GL wallhacks. Combined with CSG and HLG's wallhack block they become almost useless and GLhacks wont unload themselves if they can be detected leaving you to get detected on your favorite servers when they update the VAC.

i agree.I heard that more phases of VAC would be implemented into the next few version and i hear cs:cz is lethal. Whatever it is,my prediction is that the ogc team will either try for the last few times and then give up and then head for separate cheats that are not so easily detected

I got 1.5 twenty minutes after it came out. Good thing I did.

Valves built in messaging client and server browser. It's awsome :)

I wish they changed something so I could bitch. I'll just complain that they didn't change enough.
