Description

Tired of being able to run for hours?
Tired of that pesky perpetual energy flashlight of yours having too much of a lifespan?
Do you miss being able to drown because you left your flashlight on?

Then you might've come to the right place.

This addon for Garry's Mod attempts to replicate the Auxiliary Power feature from Valve's 2004 game 'Half-Life 2'.
You know, the game this one is based on.

Customization includes

Toggle the whole system
Toggle each feature
Toggle between using vanilla flashlight or Episode 2's flashlight system

Change rates of energy consumption and recovery globally
Change rates of energy consumption and recovery per feature

Additional content

Support for H0L-D4: Holographic Heads up Display (now supported natively by that addon)

Support for H.E.V Voice + Additions

Have fun!

F.A.Q

Will this work if I go to a server?

Only if they have the addon installed.

Where are the options?

Q menu > Utilities > Auxiliary power

How can I enable the flashlight?

Go to the server-side settings (read the question above to know how to get there).
Tick the 'HL2: Episode 2 flashlight mode' check box.

I can't see the flashlight icon properly! What can I do?

Uninstall 'HalfLife2.ttf' from your system fonts. Or install the version that comes with the addon.

I don't stop running/I won't drown/flashlight won't turn off after the Aux. Power reached 0%

It's an addon conflict. In some cases it may have to do with an addon of a similar purpose. In case it isn't, report to me what addon could be causing it.

The Aux. Power/Flashlight meter won't go down or regenerate

Please, read twice the settings to know what each option does. In case you don't know what you changed, and the addon does not behave how you expect, press the 'Reset to default' button.

Does anyone know the approximate power drain/recovery multipliers to mimic how it is in Ep2?
I've noticed that, by default, the flashlight lasts WAY longer than it should
I've done a bit of testing and I got these results:
The Ep2 flashlight drains in 90 seconds, whereas this one drains in a bit over 2 minutes (recharge is roughly the same)
The sprint drain is about 1 second longer and the power recharge 2 seconds longer here
The oxygen duration roughly a second shorter

If i remember right you can already turn this on by enabling the hev suit

Honestly WAY BETTER than the original HEV Functions (also i love EP2 flashlight, one of my fav things when i played the ep2 and now i can use it on gmod, tysm for this), and best part, YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE IT! 10/10

Btw, is this compatible with your "Customizable HL2 HUD" Mod?
