Games - Hammy-bob mod


hammy-bob mod is a mod for Half-Life. The main idea of the mod never was consistent, however it is a "fun mod", often containing in-jokes, such as fish trucks, "Brendan", excessive references to poop, fish, and cakes, and "darfouses".

Its first release did not have much fanfare to begin with. Download locations were very restrictive as it was hosted off a privately run FTP from hammy-bob himself. It was also known then as "hammy-bob's killathon". There are over 150 maps and nearly 300 player models in the mod, however because of this, Beta 2 was stored in the 7zip format allowing it to be only 35mb in size, as opposed to 100mb for a RAR/ZIP.

The main mascot of the mod is tim-jim (formerly known as timjims).

Beta 1 was released July 15, 2003; Beta 2 was released July 15, 2004, and Beta 3.1337 is currently in production. Also, there has been two christmas specials, which is rare for mods to have such editions. The first was released on Christmas Eve 2003, the second one was released two days before that date in 2004, and the third is also currently in production.

Beta 1 was featured in an issue of PCGamer UK
in late 2003.

Weapons

  • Fish (replaces crowbar) - A very strong crowbar, also has a secondary fire for extremely strong hits.
  • Cluster soda (new) - an exploding soda can that explodes into 8 more soda cans. Beta 2 removed this, however it will make a comeback in Beta 3.
  • Squirt water gun (Replaces Glock)- does regular glock damage
  • SAW (Shiny Assault Weapon, replaces Python) - scoped, and fires very accurately and fast.
  • Sniper Rifle (replaces crossbow) - essentially the same as the original, except less ammo per clip and ducks are fired instead.
  • Rocket Propelled Barney (replaces RPG) - like the RPG, but fires two at once (in Beta 2 it changed to one shot), and the missile is much bigger as it's a standing tim-jim skinned Barney.
  • Rock thrower (replaces Hornet Gun)
  • Boom Lasers (replaces the tripmine)- Exactly like tripmines, but 200% more hilarious.
  • Dynamite (replaces the satchel)- Like the satchel, but comes in mass quantities, and is much more stronger. Stairbuilding attempts have been made with it also, however the player cannot climb his own dynamite stairs yet (due to hl's "owner" pointer letting the player pass through his own projectiles)
  • Mutated guinea pigs (replaces the Snarks)- very much like the Snarks, but lasts forever until you kill it. Secondary trigger unleashes an instant swarm of them. It is not uncommon for players to create "guinea pig farms" in enclosed fenced areas.
  • Flamethrower (replaces Egon)- Functions almost exactly like the Gargantuan's flame shooting claws, complete with an excessive amount of flame sparks.
