Dark Interval is a restoration/revision mod that lets you play Half-Life 2 as it could have been: with custom maps, new voiced dialogue, new models and textures, all based on Valve's early concepts.
This mod is based on the old Half-Life 2 storyline, but instead of using the original HL2-wc-maps sources, it's authors are creating all of the maps from scratch, and thus are not limiting themselves in their creativity.
It is released in episodes, the most recent being Dark Interval: Part I - an intro chapter to the bigger story.



Now we have to port to the beta

Now we have to port to the beta

Nope. Why do we always have to port all the stuff to beta?

[Shift]

You can't port DI anyway, because it relies on custom code fixes - stripping weapons from player used to be majorly broken for example. Maps would just not work in Leak. And particles. And effects like phong. And lots of other things. It would need a ridiculous amount of work and result would be worse.

So, exactly what VXP said.

[Jar of Flies]

It would look terrible if you ported it - part of the beauty of DI is the use of reflections, lighting, haze, etc... all stuff that can't be done in the Leak.

Does anyone know of when it might be out? The last I heard about it was a post nearly a year ago on moddb that said it was "very much near completion".

[HaRaD]

Coming Soon.Maybe....

a post nearly a year ago on moddb that said it was "very much near completion".

"Chapter 2" was included into "Part 1", when it was expanded to include more content, and got released in November.
We are aware that naming is confusing.

There is no estimated date for release of Part 2 (the one with canals, wasteland, etc).

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks for the answer, looking forward to Part 2.

An amazing mod. Cannot wait for it to be finished.

dark interval is really nice looking, wether the creators are Dickbags or not

[SirusMaximius]

Good stuff!

Best news to start the year. No other favorite game of mine has such a beautiful progress to show.
The only comparable world would be for me from STALKER. The new media gives me the same inner feeling. It would be a dream if I can get all the builds of DI as I have from the best STALKER mods. And this OICW model in action!!!  <3

i feel like this mod will just be like a functional version of the beta whereas raising the bar redux will try and more or less do their own thing

[Shift]

Funny, and here I thought we were doing our own thing.
