Depot is a mod inspired by VALVe's book "Raising the Bar" and concept-arts. This is redesigned part of Half-Life 2 levels - coastline and prison, but now it's a bit closer to old atmosphere of a dead, dried by Combine, world.
Player find himself in a wasteland, on a floor of a dried sea,and tried to find a way to island, where was a prison, and now - Combine Depot.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
mind putting up another download link somewhere else?
moddb and gamefront doesn't work for me
No downloads yet?
Anyway it looks quite nice.
yeah Gamefront is blocking a bunch countries from downloading for their servers. So once its out if someone can make another mirror that would be swell.
And for some reason my part of Canada is blocked, the Gamefront says Canada is allowed to download but I can't download anything without using a Proxy.
SendSpace is fine?

Working great, thanks.
This looks beautiful.
I remember seeing that level on youtube somewhere, it looked really neat. good work, looks very nice!
overall nice work on this! you should have contributed on a SP competition made in the mapping section of the forums, and get a reward on this. enjoyed so far, merry christmas to you too!
I need help. Stuck in here; [url]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/885221565120112471/BBB82552F7A7C2B6E764F3771F40825AF11DF648/[/url]

Awesome. I love this concept art picture.

I am personally a big 3D Skybox enthusiast. I think well-made skyboxes are sexy, especially if they blend seamlessly with the playable map.
The Wasteland's environment was so beautiful I instantly came many times the maximum amount I should normally be physically able to come, almost flooding the Himalayas in my semen.
That's how awesome it was.
i am stuck in the big pit wtf do i do
Uh, which big pit?
Also, I personally kind of think those rocks in the wasteland are actually a little [I]too[/I] green.

You mean where you enter the sub? There's a piece of metal you need to hit with a burst from the gravity gun. When you do it, it lowers enough to allow you to enter the sub.

That part I couldn't figure out, so I just noclipped past it. v:v:v
[QUOTE=Marcolade;39038640]That part I couldn't figure out, so I just noclipped past it. v:v:v[/QUOTE]
I used noclip through most of the first map; I had too much trouble decerning actual intended pathways from several collision and geometry barrier errors.
hothothot
i am going to play this the second i finish installing
it looks really nice, good job man, aside from the parts where you have to noclip
I love the oil rigs out in the skybox.
Those rocks are kinda... Too green for the wasteland.

It's seafloor, I think.
Anything beta related catches my interest like a moth to a flame.
Can't wait to play this.
I just downloaded and played the mod. It looks nice, but plays terrible.
Holy shit the aesthetics in this mod are so fucking terrible.
I really noticed quite a few problems with the mod that bring it down.
Visual-wise? It's really very good, and the depot part played very well.
My main gripes with the mod are the submarine, which was ridiculously dark and I had no idea where I was going because it was too dark, and there were no indications of stairs or anything.
The antlion caves felt tacked on and seemed out of place under the wasteland there (Originally, they were just before the depot, so while they are linked, they're a little further back than that.) The submarine was really what brought down the mod in my eyes.
I thought the sub would have been okay if it had some low level colored lighting. I kinda liked the simple puzzle in it, but that's probably because I got lucky and found the place to complete it pretty quickly.
What I didn't like was how you enter the sub. There was no clear visual indication that you could interact with it, and I ended up going through some badly placed clip brushes and almost skipping the sub as a result.
And the antlion guard, I didn't know you weren't supposed to kill it in the caves so I unloaded on it and ended up having no ammo.
I thought the Gunship fight was pretty well done, I liked in particular how it destroyed the ground underneath you at the top of the lighthouse, but I've yet to get to the actual Depot part.
But holy fuck that skybox.
THAT SKYBOX
I'm going to pull up images of the e3_depot in the original beta, soon, give me a second
shit, gotta download patches for the beta, so make that around 5 minutes
Thank you all for your opinion, I want to say a couple things:
1) I feel a need in a patch - fix map holes, add some kind of light in a submarine (it can be a bit problematic, because whole sub is a model with a lot of models inside), etc...
2) make navigation in wasteland more "friendly".
And i've got a question: what if "bad navigation" is not my fail, what if it was planned? I wanted to make player feel himself like he is really in wasteland, not in a corridor. Yes, it's not like original HL gameplay style. Yes, no obvious indication (but I think, when you see a giant submarine or island among wasteland, you know where you should go?..). (SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!) I wanted to bring some "exploration" gameplay, and add some hidden things (do you find hollow stone with two levels? or seamine? do you pass wasteland in most short way, by oilpipe?)
Waiting for your comments!

Pics from the original HL2 Beta, although your mod has a great start, the antlion tunnels and submarine threw me off a bit, mainly because the thing is too damn dark!
