Holy crap, old VALVe webpages.

Oh god, he brought an airsoft gun into the offices.
[quote]Number Three: Kelly Bailey (Sound/Music guy, Keeper of the Jelly Beans)
From the comfort of my desk, if I get the angle just right I can shoot pellets directly through the doorway and into Kelly's office. At random times throughout the day I'll just crank off a nice four to six round burst of hard plastic death that ricochets wildly about his office, hopefully pelting him about the head and chest. More recently, I began writing email that made very specific demands of Kelly. I usually demanded a tribute of between 40 to 60 assorted flavor Jelly Belly jelly beans and then threatened to fire a hail of pellets into his office every fifteen minutes, beginning at the top of the hour, until my demands were met. Following recent negotiations I now have more Jelly Bellies than I could ever eat.[/quote]

I wonder if there are still some pages in this website we haven't found yet. Is there any way we can check this?
So I'm doing the Photoshop now, can anyone post the texture file for the security guard? It'll make it look a lot better than with a video screenshot.

I wasted a bit of time trawling Wayback machine for old versions of Valve pages a while back. Not too much there.
Though there is a version of this page ([URL]http://www.valvesoftware.com/hocopus/halflife.htm[/URL]) with the movies still downloadable, they're not too interesting though.
[URL]http://web.archive.org/web/19990218135929/http://www.valvesoftware.com/hocopus/halflife.htm[/URL]
It also lets you see one of the Hoc Opus pages that's no longer there.

The movie clips are still technically downloadable from current-day Valve — They exist on the server. It's just that somewhere along the line, the links were broken to point towards C:\ instead. v:v:v

No audio on the three MPGs, short bursts of audio on the two "grunts" AVIs.
So no one's going to help me out with that texture file?
So after beating HL1 I went to go play Opposing Force, and that was also a really good game, shorter, but that's what I expected. I wonder if they'll ever use Adrian again (unless they already have.) I'm not gonna lie I thought G-Man would've just killed him at the end but nope.

Gabe mentioned in a podcast that the fate of Adrian isn't concrete but they [I]might[/I] bring him back. But it's very unlikely.
Looking at all those Return To Ravenholm leaks makes me want some headcrab action, can anyone recommend some good HL2 zombie mods?

I remembered seeing a mod where you get taken over by a headcrab and roam around City 17. Except it was in black and white and everyone spoke German.

Also talking to anyone results in you asking them if they speak german. They say no.
Then you are attacked by the guy from Human Error with a guitar.

You know what would have been awesome? If they left a little Half-Life 3 teaser in their old homepages somewhere. That would be slick.

and its been hidden there since ep2 came out, and they've just been waiting...waiting for someone to find it, so they can release it.

I played a half life 1 mod where you play as a headcrab who takes over a scientist, and you can choose upgrades and command other zombies and shit.
it was really short though

Would anybody happen to know how to get the Human_assault entity working?
This is kind of a silly question, but I'm playing Blue Shift, and it won't let me advance past the elevator part with the two scientists because I'm carrying a gun. I can't exactly drop it, so what do I do?

You have to press the button on the left side of the elevator to make it start.
EDIT: Its the right side of the elevator

No, I can start the elevator, but then I slowly lose health and then the scientists keel over and fuckign explode. Then I get a message that says something like:
Barney Calhoun
Job: Termanated
For irresponsible use of a firearm
I'm not shooting it or anything.
Hm, never had that happen before.
Whenever I get weird game errors like that I just default to verifying the shit out of everything.

I don't know where this bug came from because I remember playing the game about a year or so back and it never happened.
Try changing the video mode from OpenGL to Software just for that part. I just tried it again and that seemed to fix it. Don't ask me why, but if it works for you then it's a quick workaround. You can change it back after.

I had the same issue, just change the graphics software, changing mine from OpenGl to D3D fixed this, then I just changed it back afterwards.

Thant sounds hilarious.
I read somewhere that some of the alpha models are different versions,would that be true?
edit: I mean like model version number.
