Black Mesa Source V4 - 'Marines are OP' Edition

[Chris M]

They need to completely redesign Xen. Make it more Blue Shifty.

[Killer Monkey]

Its not meant to be a redesign, the official one will be one. This is just a straight remake

[Chonch]

I hope you guys realized that the videos are pretty much texture/gameplay reels and the map itself is literally a direct port from HL:S. Only things that have been changed are textures and a few NPC spawns.

And displacements

Is this thing ever coming to steam?

I can't even figure out how to install it, let alone even download it

It'll most likely come to Steam when they finish Xen and deathmatch.

Oh I remember you. You browse the BM forums a lot, right?

And I love your classic skins!

This is stuck in my head and cannot sleep due to it, it's especially annoying considering it's my birthday tomorrow.

Now all I can think of is Kleiner sitting in a huge ass like Sir Mixalot's video.

[Chonch]

Anyone know what ever happened to Joazzz's HL1-style skins? I always thought these fit so much better than default Source versions

Links are broken, what are they?

[Chaotic Lord]

Skins for Headcrab, Barnacle and Vortigaunts that look more like they did in HL1. Like how the Vorts looked darker and rougher.

[SFC]

i remember those
what happened to them

where is joazzz anyway

[E Quantifier]

Can anyone rehost those pictures? I'm curious about the Vort skin.

[Joazzz]

fuck, hold on guys, i forgot to include the vort's exponent textures

goddamnit

[editline]5th April 2013[/editline]

there fixed

[SFC]

if you successfully upload these i will luv u foreva

[Joazzz]

the vort is now darker than the darkest dark times infinity, but i had to do that to counter BMS's rather bright but well-made indoor ambient lighting. the first version still looked like the regular vort in BM's bright lab conditions

[SFC]

omg this is hot

will u marry me

[BloodShot12]

Hell yeah.

I can't tell you how fucking tired I was of the HL2 headcrab

[Chonch]

Wonderful work. I always thought the vorts teleported into BM were in their prime and maintained that healthy brown color because of it. You've really revitalized a rather boring texture.

Time to replay Black Mesa.

[marden]

Hm, is there a way to make vorts look less shiny? Like not at all. I always imagined them with rough skin.

[fear me]

I like the idea of [URL="http://forums.blackmesasource.com/showthread.php?t=14648"]this thread.[/URL] Anyone think they could do it?

[Joazzz]

[QUOTE=Marden;40181719]Hm, is there a way to make vorts look less shiny? Like not at all. I always imagined them with rough skin.[/QUOTE]nice of you to bring this up actually

[h2]HEY GUYS[/h2]
[B]if you want less shiny vorts, go to the thing's texture folder (materials/models/vortigaunt) and open the file Vortigaunt_base.VMT with your Notepad, then decrease the $phongboost and $rimlightboost values

to disable both the rim lighting and phong shaders altogether set both to 0, obviously[/b] (i wouldn't recommend that because a small amount of phong always makes things look more snazzy)

[Chonch]

I'm a fan of the original HL2 vort appearance in terms of shading. Just looks so much more alien and intimidating.
