FakeFactory's Cinematic Mod 5

README:
-------------------------------------------------------
Cinematic Mod V5 (EP2 Part)
V 0.5 beta
-------------------------------------------------------
This is a beta release. Use at your own risk.

1.) IMPORTANT TECHNICAL INFO:
-----------------------------

1.1) Memory requirements
A minimum of 3 GB RAM is needed for playing on maxed texture/shader settings. A minimum of 2 GB RAM is needed for playing on medium texture/shader settings.

1.2) - 32 BIT / 64 BIT
After extensive  email discussions  with VALVE  and the  hlcoders i came to the following conclusion: The  Cinematic  Mod  will  run  on   32 Bit  but it's not longer supported on 32  Bit systems, because of   the limited userspace with  32 Bit  Windows. Don't  blame Valve or  me for this  problem.  It is  a fundamental problem on  all   32  bit platforms,  that  cannot  and will not fixed with a engine update.

In other words:

You  can try  the  mod on 32 Bit, but  most likely you  need  to set texture and shader  details to  medium or  low for  crashfree play (it will still looks good at  medium settings).  64 Bit  users are  able  to  play  with all settings maxed out, as the  engine can use all available RAM for allocating memory blocks.

1.3) Hardware requirements / graphics adapter

A DX9 capable graphicscard with at least 256 MB VRAM is needed. THIS MOD WILL SHOW SOME STRANGE GRAPHICALLY GLITCHES ON HARDWARE BELOW DX9

1.4) Software requirements

You need a full installed STEAM with the following full installed and
unlocked games:

+ Half-Life 2
+ Half-Life 2 Episode One
+ Half-Life 2 Episode Two

or the Orange Box package

This mod is for WINDOWS only - no XBox360 supported!
Sorry guys, but i don't develop for this console crap.

2.) HD characters
-----------------------------
CM5  for  EP2 comes with optional HD models. These models  are taxing  your hardware to the limit, are  looking very different and are a matter of taste. By default only the  maincharacters are activated. For activating the civilian/resistance or deactivating   the  maincharacters you can use  the all  new "Character  Pimper" (formerly known as Alyx Construction Kit) You will find the "Character Pimper" in your shortcuts folder after installation has finished.

3.) The installer
-----------------------------
YOU MUST EXIT STEAM  FOR INSTALLATION! The setup  will install CM5 in you STEAM sourcemod folder, register the  shortcut in  you STEAM  games panel and  create additional shortcuts  in your  shortcuts folder    ("CinematicMod",  "Character pimper",  "Uninstallation") After deinstallation these shortcuts  are
removed, but the shortcut in your STEAM games panel will remain. You can remove it manualy with right-click on the  entry and choosing "Delete".

The installer will create the two folders "FAKEFACTORY_CM" and "FAKEFACTORY_CMEP1" beside  its main  folder "FAKEFACTORY_CMEP2".  This is for compatibility reasons with the "Character pimper"

4.) Foreign language audio

English audio is default. The current beta version supports german as foreign language, if STEAM is set to  german. On all other systems english  audio is activated. This  will  change  with  the  final  release.  Please  
email  me at [email protected] the *exact* name of your language.cfg (i.e. blabla_french.cfg) for both Episode One and Episode Two, because i need to know all available language file names.
