Direct binds for They Hunger weaponry

If you want to specify a key for direct (and faster) selection of a weapon, here is the command and the weapon names in the game (with "x" as a key you need to specify):

bind "x" "WEAPONNAME"

The "WEAPONNAME" for They Hunger are:

"weapon_th_spanner" = spanner
"weapon_th_shovel" = shovel
"weapon_crowbar" = umbrella
"weapon_th_ap9" = semiautomatic pistol
"weapon_th_sniper" = sniperrifle
"weapon_th_chaingun" = chaingun
"weapon_egon" = flamethrower"
"weapon_th_medkit" = medkit

Those are the weapons you might wanna use in the game. Also have a look at this guide (which doesn't have the entirely correct names for all the weapons though) for better recognition of what those weapons are:

How to setup Episode start, timer, and autorecord demos

Note: For understanding demo setup in They Hunger, you need to have a basic understanding of how demo recording works in Half-Life. Have a look at this tutorial by Griffin:

http://www.speedrun.com/hl1/guide/m3lo4

For running They Hunger, you need to start at specific points in time depending on the episode you're running.

Episode 1 / All Episodes (same starting point):
Exact starting time is after getting the initial 12 damage falling into the water after the cutscene:
- download save file "Runstart Ep1" from Resources (and unpack startEP1.7z-file > startEP1.sav)
- put "startEP1.sav" into your hunger SAVE directory
- bind a key (here noted as "x") with the following command:

bind "x" "load startEP1.sav; bxt_hud_timer 1; bxt_timer_reset; bxt_timer_start;bxt_autorecord run"

"load startEP1.sav" = this loads to the precise beginning of the runs for either Episode 1 or All Episodes
"bxt_hud_timer 1" = showing the (ingame) timer on your ingame screen
"bxt_timer_reset" = this will reset your timer in case it's still running from a previous attempt
"bxt_timer_start" = this starts the timer
"bxt_autorecord run" = this records demos (one for each quickload) to your hunger directory

For Episode 1 you need to stop the demo recording of the "bxt_autorecord run" command manually with the following command, where "x" is a key you need to specify: The bxt_timer stops automatically when you reach the end of the Episode.

bind "x" "stop"

"stop" = stops the demo recording initiated with the command "bxt_autorecord run"


Episode 2:
Exact starting time is shortly after Title "They Hunger: Episode 2" when regaining control of your character.
- download save file "Runstart Ep2" from Resources (and unpack startEP2.7z > startEP2.sav)
- put "startEP2.sav" into your hunger SAVE directory
- bind a key (here noted as "x") with the following command:

bind "x" "load startEP2.sav; bxt_hud_timer 1; bxt_timer_reset; bxt_timer_start;bxt_autorecord run"

For Episode 2 you need to stop the recording of the "bxt_autorecord run" command manually with the following command, where "x" is a key you need to specify: The bxt_timer stops automatically when you reach the end of the Episode.

bind "x" "stop"


Episode 3:
For Episode 3, the precise run start is map they30a.

- bind a key (here noted as "x") with the following command:

bind "x" "map they30a; bxt_hud_timer 1; bxt_timer_reset; bxt_timer_start;bxt_autorecord run"


For Episode 3, you need to stop the recording of the "bxt_autorecord run" command manually with the following command, where "x" is a key you need to specify:

bind "x" "stop"


For All Episodes / Trilogy you need to deactivate the autostop mechanism (with "x" being a key you need to specify) for bxt so the timer will not get stopped at the end of Episodes 1 and Episode 2. The stop for the time in Trilogy is the end of Episode 3. So you need to reactivate the autostop mechanism some time after the End of Episode 2 (or within Episode 3) when the timer cant be stopped anymore by the Episode 2 autostop point (with "y" as a key you need to specify). 
Then, the bxt_timer stops automatically when you reach the end of Episode 3.

bind "x" "bxt_timer_autostop 0"
bind "y" "bxt_timer_autostop 1"

How to setup They Hunger

This guide is for the use of either GoldSrc Package 1.31 or 2 (They Hunger also works on NGHL. For setting up NGHL, pls use this guide: https://www.speedrun.com/hl1/guide/af6k2).

- Install the GoldSrc Package (you need to own the game on steam to run it)
- Put the hunger folder (They Hunger mod from the resources: https://www.speedrun.com/they_hunger/resources ) in your Half-Life directory
- Create a .bat File (Notepad > save as name.bat (make sure to select "All Files" in "Save as type")) with the following commands (the difference to normal HL setup is to take the name of your hunger folder as the "-game" which the .bat-file is supposed to browse)

Note: replace "D:\Half-Life" with the path to your Half-Life folder

"D:\Half-Life\GoldSrc Package 2 beta\Bunnymod XT\Injector.exe" D:\Half-Life\GoldSrc Package 2 beta\Half-Life\hl.exe -game hunger -noforcemparms 
"D:\Half-Life\GoldSrc Package 2 beta\RInput\RInput.exe" hl.exe

- Rinput sometimes causes trouble; you can leave it out as well


FPS-Instability and slowmotion-bug:

For They Hunger, fps_max value is capped at fps_max "250" (activate higher fps_max values for goldsrc 1.31 package with command fps_override "1"). Note that there is an issue considering unstable fps in Goldsrc 2 beta and NGHL which causes the game / movement-speed to slow down (while the timer keeps running at the same speed; see also: https://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/FPS_Effects ). This bug was fixed in the client version goldsrc 1.31 (which is the newest of the three). If you want to run the game on Goldsrc 2 beta or NGHL, make sure to limit your fps_max to a value that is stable (1000 / n; see link above) to avoid the bug.


liblist.game edit

They Hunger seems to use an old value for its singleplayer game in the liblist.gam file in your Hunger directory. You need to open it with a notepad (all files) and put type to "singleplayer_only". It should be set to "Single", which apparently goldsrc packages cannot read properly:

type "singleplayer_only"

The effect of this is that you wont lose control over your character when going through load screens (especially important for high speed movement).

BXT is a plugin that is used for speedrunning goldsrc games and a lot of useful features like timer, speedometer and most importantly

bxt_hud_viewangle 1

You can get it here: https://github.com/YaLTeR/BunnymodXT/...

How do i lower my framerate?

Preferably by binding it to keys, here are the binds and keys i use.

bind x "fps_max 20"

What are the angles for the trick again?

Have your Yaw as close to 270 (at the door) as you can and have your Pitch be between 60.100 - 61.300"

They Hunger Episode 2: Albert-Skip *updated*

¤edit¤ This trick is outdated. Find the shorter strat in "They Hunger Episode 2 Speedrun Tutorial". 

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/147560066?t=17m24s

It was developed by Bloodvez as you can see in "They Hunger Episode 2: Underground section skip (save warp)".

For the mechanics, this trick will stay in the Guide Section.
¤edit¤



This trick skips Albert's cutscene monologue in Episode 2 completely.

- you activate the audio recording in the small office and you lower fps (and keep them low throughout) so Albert moves faster into the scene
- once he reaches his cutscene trigger (look in vod and with bxt_show_triggers 1 ingame), you immediately push him back one time to gain a little time
- as soon as he says "everybody else seems to be out of their mind", you can talk to him (+use) when he says "to be"
- you immediately start running to the secret cellar door and position yourself in the corner opposite to the door
- once he reaches the corner, you quickly get behind him and push him to the door panel two times, so that he reaches the door panel trigger
- use the panel to open the door yourself

They Hunger Episode 2: Gate Skip / Elevator Edgebug / Vertical Object-Boost

Three strats by Bloodvez:

- the Gate Skip
- the Elevator Edgebug (adjust sharply beneath 0 yaw)
- the Vertical Object-Boost (easier with higher fps; +forward object-boost)
