===========================================================================
5. TROUBLESHOOTING and TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

5.1 Missing graphic effects
---------------------------
Issue: The new graphic effects (bump maps, gloss effects, etc.) are missing! What should I do?

Solution: Check that the opengl32.dll file is present in your half-life folder. The mod needs this file to display the new graphic effects. If the file is missing, copy it from the paranoia\sdk folder to your half-life folder. Without opengl32.dll in the Half-Life folder, the new graphic effects will not be available.


5.2 Error message: "The specified video mode is not supported!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: After launching the mod, I receive the following message: "The specified video mode is not supported!"

Solution: D3D and Software video modes are NOT SUPPORTED in PARANOIA. The mod works only in OpenGL mode with 32-bit colors. Start the mod by running !Launch_game.bat file located in the mod's folder.


5.3 Error message: "This OpenGL mode is not supported!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Issue: After launching the mod, I receive the following message: "This OpenGL mode is not supported!"

Solution: The mod works only in OpenGL mode with 32-bit colors. Start the mod by running !Launch_game.bat file located in the mod's folder.


5.4 Music volume too loud
-------------------------
Issue: The volume is too loud, but I can't change it in the Audio tab.

Solution: Launch the mod and go to Options > Multiplayer > Advanced > MP3 Volume. Change the values from 1.0 to 0.1 and click OK to apply.


5.5 Low framerate (FPS)
-----------------------
Issue: I have a high-end system, but my framerate is too low (10-14 FPS)! How can I improve my framerate?

Solution: Update your video drivers and adjust the graphical settings in your video card control panel to improve the display of applications running in OpenGL video mode.


5.6 Anti-cheat services prevent me from playing online
------------------------------------------------------
Issue: After installing PARANOIA, I am not allowed to play online with my multiplayer HL mods. The anti-cheat services call me a cheater! What is going on?

Solution: The anti-cheat services react to the presence of the opengl32.dll file in the half-life folder. Remove the file to solve the issue, but don't forget to put it back when you want to play PARANOIA.


5.7 Console commands and parameters
-----------------------------------
Question: I want to tweak the new graphic effects. Which console commands and parameters should I use to control the new graphic effects?

Answer:
- gl_renderer	PARANOIA renderer for all the new OpenGL effects
- gl_detailtex	detailed textures
- gl_bump	      bump mapping
- gl_specular	gloss mapping
- gl_grayscale	gray scale
- gl_blurtest	motion blur (parameters from 1 to 20)
- gl_dynlight	dynamic lighting
- subtitles       subtitles

5.8 Dynamic shadows
-------------------
Question: Where are the dynamic shadows in PARANOIA?

Answer: Unfortunately dynamic shadows are not supported by our mod's renderer.


5.9 Modding the mod
-------------------
Question: I want to make an additional level for your mod. How can I do it?

Answer: No problem! Check our official website for documentation, FGDs, and new compilers.


5.10 Compatibility with Half-Life: Source
-----------------------------------------
Question: Does the mod work with Half-Life: Source?

Answer: No, it's dont work with HL: Source. The PARANOIA is working with Half-Life (GoldScr engine) only. You need Half-Life v.1.1.1.1 (or higher) to play PARANOIA without issues.


5.11 Error message: "windows cannot find 'hl.exe"
-------------------------------------------------
Issue: After launching the mod with sortcut or !launch.bat, I receive the following message: "windows cannot find 'hl.exe' make sure you typed the name in correctly, and the please try again."

Solution: The game can't find the hl.exe because you install it into the wrong folder! When you run the installer and change the directory to point to your Half-Life folder the installer creates another Half-Life folder in your Half-Life folder. To solve the problem uninstall PARANOIA, then reinstall it and only point the directory to \Steam\steamapps\<your_account_name>. Then the installer will say "Do you want to use the existing Half-life folder?". Say yes and all will install fine in the right folder. Also you always can edit the install path manually without "Browse" function.


5.12 Error message: "TextMassegeParsemassegeCount..."
-----------------------------------------------------
Issue: When I click on the new game it begins to load the game and then write this: "tmessage:TextMassegeParsemassegeCount>=MAXMASSAGES"

Solution: Your version of Half-Life is outdated. You need version 1.1.1.0 or higher to play Paranoia without issues. Try to update your Half-Life.


5.13 HUD and crosshairs are gone
--------------------------------
Issue: When I went to play the game, the HUD and crosshair are gone. How to get it back?

Solution: Try to use console command "hud_draw 1" in the console window. If it will not help you should reinstall the PARANOIA. Do not forget to make a backup copy of your game save files!


5.14 No transparency at the models
----------------------------------
Issue: There is no transparency at the models in the game. The trees is black and the ballistic face shield is non transparent too. How to fix it?

Solution: Download THIS FIX http://paranoia.mapping.vbios.com/filez/trans_fix_dll.zip and unzip files to your Half-Life folder. It will help to add transparency to the models.
