Black Mesa V6 - 'Not sure about the shotgun'-edition - Games

Speaking of Joel's music, can we talk about how damn good the Questionable Ethics track is that plays when you fight in the lobby? Gets you so much more pumped for that fight than the original track.

B-but there wasn't an "original track". In fact, there wasn't a fight in the lobby in HL1!

How do you use the model viewer with Black Mesa?

Did the Garg always turn marines into burnt corpse models? https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/108621/c5837214-bda3-41d1-acc3-b31fa88962c0/image.png

yes

Guess I'm not very observant.

Is my memory really that bad? I could have sworn there was a similar, albeit smaller fight in the same lobby area in HL1.

There's like three marines in the room when you first enter the lobby from the experiment chambers but there's no big fight after you rescue the scientists.

I guess the closest thing would be around 4:59 https://youtu.be/RmNBw5jIR20?t=4m59s

svencoop had a rappelling grunts and all that jazz in there though. maybe you remember about that

Honestly you're probably right. The first thing that came to mind when I thought of the HL1 lobby "fight" was the rappelling grunts and i was really confused when I didn't see em in the vid. Makes sense too considering the last time I played that chapter was in Sven.

Yeah, they weren't in the original HL1. The BM devs actually put that fight in there to catch you off guard, making it genuinely feel like an ambush.

it's good but i'm not 100% on the face. i always thought his textures suggested more like an eyeless, desiccated shrunken head rather than his eyes literally just being black. hence all the stitches and the weird shriveled look

Well, BMS tends to redesign some things, take the alien grunt for example.

Can somebody who knows Source explain this to me? So Nihilanth have that combine-looking thingy on his bottom textures, but the rest of his body is not; yet, you can see baked in AO. Is it part of the same texture? If it is, is it a layer in the texture file or is it a separate material that goes on top?

That image wasn't rendered in Source, it was rendered in Blender.

Oh, sorry, missed that fact in the linked thread.

I always thought that the metal bits of the nihilanth were supposed to be combine technology.

Me too, but I think I've read a quote from Laidlaw that said it wasn't - in either case, I wasn't sure, so I decided to cover both grounds by writing "combine-looking thingy"

I think Marc said that wasnt the case. I do agree it'd be neat though

Interesting, wonder where those will fit into.

Man thats pretty cool, I have been hyped for this for so long it sure would be nice to finally get ahold of it. And Juniez's weapons too.

So ‘teleported’ means the portals that bring aliens in are taking things from Black Mesa to Xen? holy shit what if that scientist you find alive in Nihilanth is gonna have friends

If they tell him how to properly pronounce "mesa" I'd be okay with the VA from HDTF doing Gman

fun fact: they actually redid all his lines with him pronouncing "mesa" correctly. they never used them.

Will the old maps be updated to have pieces teleported out of them in some places?
