Standalone Flashlight [HL2/EP1]

Description
Adds separate power source for flashlight independent from H.E.V. Auxiliary Power, in Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 campaigns. Basically adds Half-Life 2 Episode 2's separate flashlight meter.

Restart the map after first installation to register new Episodic system or add following commands in HL2's steam properties launch options: +hl2_episodic 1 +hl2_expansion ep2

This addon requires Dynamic Fire Glow addon for enabled Episodic behavior which is required for drawing flashlight meter on HUD. Without it player will have infinite flashlight without any meter but still independent from H.E.V. Auxiliary Power.

so for some reason after entering the commands the game just kinda broke, the flashlight meter wasnt there and it was mixed with the aux power like normal but it would never recharge either, so when it ran out i couldnt sprint or turn on the flashlight and even after disabling it the aux meter was still screwed up

I tried this and a number of glitches happened:

The positions of certain textures used to make it seem like you are within a city are glitched so you see only the sky box instead of a sprawling city (before the first ant-lion sighting)

and then when Alyx saved Gorden from the metrocops when he comes to the camera is stuck and I couldn't move Gorden, also the camera is in a glitched position facing a metrocop by the elevator.

I decided to not continue this futher.

in episode one Alyx thinks she left alone in the dark (even above ground in direct intervention, Urban Flight and on) if the flashlight isnt on and wont follow, not a huge issue but was very confusing to figure out. not sure why this is the case

btw if you run hl2 maps on hl2 ep2 the standalone flashlight will appear so this mod is not really neccessary

I guess I'm going to play with infinite flashlight because Dynamic Fire Glow breaks other parts of the game so it's not worth the trade off.

breaks achievements in HL2, use at your own discretion
