Half-Life 2: Enhancement Mod (V5) - Games

[QUOTE=SFC003;41693158]you said the topic was dead also be patient.[/QUOTE] By topic he probably meant the thread, not the mod, though.

How could I contribute to this? I can not texture, make maps or do models. I can't really do anything but I would really like to help out with this.

[QUOTE=cloudcakes30;41691006]Then it's gonna turn into rust where people will be begging for access. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Xonax;41695427]How could I contribute to this?

[QUOTE=kaze4159;41695457]It's already begun[/QUOTE] What? [editline]3rd August 2013[/editline] I was just asking to help out, not to gain access or anything.

what are you going to do then

[QUOTE=MasterBlock;41695512]what are you going to do then[/QUOTE] I don't know, I was asking if there is anything that I could do that fits my abilities. I can not model, texture or map.

[QUOTE=Xonax;41695518]I don't know, I was asking if there is anything that I could do that fits my abilities. I can not model, texture or map.[/QUOTE] i have something that can [I]fit your abilities[/I]

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;41651471][t]http://combineoverwiki.net/images/7/7d/Overwatch_Nexus_2.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Speaking of the Nexus map, am I the only one who finds those deep impact craters to be really... dull? Like it doesn't really ~feel~ like a crater, it feels more like a hole in the ground filled with debris. Especially the edges, I can't place exactly what's wrong with them but they just seem wrong.

[QUOTE=Xonax;41695518]I don't know, I was asking if there is anything that I could do that fits my abilities. I can not model, texture or map.[/QUOTE] i bet it would help if you told what you [I]can[/I] do

He's an ideas guy.

[QUOTE=Uncle Bourbon;41695754]i bet it would help if you told what you [I]can[/I] do[/QUOTE] I don't now what I can do. I am trying to ask if someone could like give a list on what needs to be done and I could give them all a try, see what I am best at. [editline]3rd August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=xalener;41695788]He's an ideas guy.[/QUOTE] I am not. If I was, I would of gave my idea's already.

[QUOTE=Xonax;41697190]I don't now what I can do. I am trying to ask if someone could like give a list on what needs to be done and I could give them all a try, see what I am best at.[/QUOTE] If you don't know your own skills, it is probably best that you do not contribute to the mod. The sentiment is nice, you want to help the project succeed, but at the end of the day it is better to leave it to people who [i]do[/i] know what they're best at.

Will the mod have moving clouds in the 3D skybox? If you're planning on it but do not yet have a good texture, you're free to use/modify [URL="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10447261/IMPORTANT/xb_2ismcloud001.vtf"]this one[/URL] I slapped together for a HL2DM map of my own a while back. [URL="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10447261/IMPORTANT/xb_2ismcloud001.vmt"]Here's[/URL] the vmt. Just turn the underside of a brush into a displacement, raise it into a dome and slap this baby on it. Bam. Maybe even add alpha to the vmt if you'd like to combine it with the 2d skybox in the background.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;40500942]the footsteps are odd[/QUOTE] The sound is correct... for a small, sound-isolated room. Source doesn't do acoustics as far as I know, so you have to make sounds as general as possible to compensate. Slight echos and run-off, but not too much. Like baking lighting, except for sound.

[QUOTE=mac338;41698529] Source doesn't do acoustics as far as I know, .[/QUOTE] yes it does

[QUOTE=mac338;41698529]Source doesn't do acoustics as far as I know...[/QUOTE] Go into a map and enter the command "room_type 1", source has plenty of acoustic effects built in. They were even used in Half-Life 2.

Didn't HL1 have acoustic effects? Larger rooms would echo a bit? That might have been a map setting or something.

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;41698926]Didn't HL1 have acoustic effects? Larger rooms would echo a bit? That might have been a map setting or something.[/QUOTE] It did - it's especially noticeable in vents.

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;41698926]Didn't HL1 have acoustic effects? Larger rooms would echo a bit? That might have been a map setting or something.[/QUOTE] Very painful ones in large areas. Fucking hevsuit would echo for miles

The walls of the crater also don't accurately reflect the composition of the ground it's taken out of. It should be an easy fix for an attentive mapper.

[QUOTE=Kahgarak;41700720]images[/quote] You wouldn't mind If I used this for a project of mine would you? Ill make sure to credit you ofcourse.

Maybe some cloud cards as well.

Here is a small update, tried to get them close to the original style, what do you think? any suggestions? NOTE: None of the skins and other stuffs are to be taken as part of the mod, only the gunshot sounds are to be considered, and the gauss chargeup [video=youtube;xKJqVa8KRXU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A4kTdwjIaw[/video]

[QUOTE=tehstrelok;41701470]Here is an small update [video=youtube;xKJqVa8KRXU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A4kTdwjIaw[/video][/QUOTE] Pistol sounds spot-on if you ask me. I hate how weak the original sounded.

[QUOTE=tehstrelok;41701470]Here is an small update, tried to get them close to the original style, what do you think? any suggestions?[/QUOTE] SMG primary sound needs a little bit more punch, it almost feels its being fired farther away, imo. Love the AR2 sound.

[video=youtube;xKJqVa8KRXU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A4kTdwjIaw[/video][/QUOTE] I really love the acoustics you put in the sounds. They sounds more realistic than HL2's isolated gunshots.
