Half-Life Chat V11 - 20th anniversary edition - Games

Anyone know how to ally invincibility in Opposing Force? Not sure how I did it but none of my allies are able to die. The only ones that can die are engineers when shot in the gas tank.

That sounds like a bug because on my recent replay they were able to ( they are super weak agaisnt Race X ) and friendly fire.

Yeah, well, after the bit where you rescue the engineer with the medic from the black ops guys, the medic, engineer, grunt and LMG grunt wiped the floor with the black ops guys in the next section. I didn't do anything and they won.

it is certainly something wrong on your side

I think he meant the part where you rip a toilet of of a wall and give the nearest soldier a taste of what death is like. If you remove GG, the HL2 combat is extremely bog-standard, uninteresting as hell (one of the reasons why I dislike Black Mesa so much). It's fairly solid, sure, but nothing to write home about.

well you're clearly part of the audience that needs this sort of "xD funi prop owned!" novelty to even stick through the game, let alone beat it so I'd say you're a tiny bit biased. there are excellent mods based entirely around the gravitygun like Research and Development but half-life is and always was primarily a shooter so I imagine it's about nailing a good balance.

JAMEEEEEL, AMMO!!!!

Indeed. I think if you're going to make a mod not centered around Gordon or some one else that's notable, try to at least introduce new (or experimental) weaponry if nothing else. Make some scenarios that would require such a weapon and slowly lead the player into it. That, or pick a unique mechanic that hasn't been done and try to center your mod around that, whatever it may be. Sometimes less is more.

Some hl2-style quick edits of stalenhag stuff I made yesterday that I might or might not use for ep2-theme map one day: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/858/56e1c9d4-f828-40b2-9860-9306d299264c/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/858/9c4195fc-7bb3-4d27-aad6-65ddfaf8e91e/image.png

The last one reminds me to the trailer of a mod set on the countryside, where rebels were fighting the Combine with their own reverse-engineered tech. I forgot how it was called, but it was in development.

To the guy who game me 10 coins for this, thanks man! im just glad people are interested in it. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/237880/7f3d2dc1-bc97-4b5b-b2b8-200f276fa64a/20181227170913_1.jpg

As I wrote in the black mesa thread, i've finally catched up and completed Black Mesa - Half Life 2 + episodes. I now feel the pain of that cliffhanger ending too, and i can't imagine what it's like for people who completed it in 2007.

What I feel is worse is people (like myself) who beat it in like, early 2008, when Valve had gone silent on the matter but the hype for the Orange Box was peaking hardcore. When TF2 started getting updates and L4D hit the news everyone expected Ep3 to drop any day...

Yes, thank you for remind me of it again!

The way I could think would be basically a powerup, or a syringe with extra strength (steroids *cough*). Bind the syringe to the G key and use it before punting objects. Idk whether you should have a reserve and you pick ones up along the way, or it should be rechargeable (don't know a "realism" way to do this).

It's part of the point of me playing or replaying all those Source mods, but man I've seen some awesome shit lately. I had never heard of Dark Interval but it absolutely is the most beautiful recreation of the original vision of HL2 I had ever seen. https://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/573/572035/profile/terminal_2.png https://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/573/572035/profile/rtx_2_resized.png https://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/573/572035/profile/arcade_2.png The mapping and art in this mod is 10/10. And you know it's good at keeping the original HL2 artstyle because some levels look more like they're from Dishonored (due to the art director, Viktor Antonov of course). And the mod is still being made though the first few hours of the game are already released. I also played Terminal 7 and what the fuck

Dark Interval really surprised me with how good it is. It's definitely the best and most complete beta mod and there's still more to come.

I'm still glad Dark Interval sees the light of day, I remember lurking back in the early 10's just being amazed at what was being worked on.

for some reason im trying to figure out, DI has a bad reputation amongst the beta community so Id be curious if anyone knew anything about that

congratulations, you now have an in-depth understanding of the vinesauce stream

Nice elitism

if it's not false then I don't see the problem

The DI team started focusing on Part 1 this year end, they posted some comparisons over the month (Before/After): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279150320901292032/522140190479745058/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279150320901292032/522140228262297619/JTPvxXWSamY.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279150320901292032/522852112669999107/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279150320901292032/522852123797487628/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279150320901292032/527693610875879438/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279150320901292032/527693631080103939/unknown.png

Looks pretty ni- wait a minute! https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109778/742dffab-098c-499d-bd46-92566592db7c/dica.jpg Is this chromatic abberration I see before me? Into the depths with ye!

i installed Dark Interval, but it crashs after the valve logo. there is any log so i can check what is wrong?

I have the same exact issue.

Ah yeah, you're all supposed to use the "upcoming" branch to play this. As with all Source mods actually.

I don’t usually go ”wow that escalated quickly” but going from a kinda Dumb injoke to that really makes justice to the term. that remade smb level tho

Haha alright, thanks guys I read you loud and clear. ill keep posting updates as they come. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/237880/76e13170-5d03-48ea-8629-d1174a8a4637/20181228093636_1.jpg
