[QUOTE=Hogie bear;44693969]Talking about that dark matter part of the map, even though you shouldnt go third person, there should really be some changes to it though. When you're in first person, you can see that nothing is carrying you and you're just floating to breens office. It looks really silly.[/QUOTE]
I just assumed the pods had the ability to float short distances like scanners.
I thought it was being wheeled around by some kind of dolly or hand truck.
I thought a mass of trained headcrab was working together to carry it
I was convinced that the pod was just a figment of gordons imagination, and that [I]the power was really inside you the whole time[/I]

Gordon confirmed for having the Schwartz.

Ftfy
Also interesting thing about the whole floating pod thing. I never actually looked up to see what was carrying me to Breen's office. Now I feel stupidly unobservant.
I'm pretty sure in the release of HL2 up to the orange box updates that there was a rail, was there not? I'm sure there was, anyway

I had the original Half-Life 2 running as a mod on Source 2006.
If you have something to be checked, I can do it for you.
I don't remember how it ended the last time we talked about the icty (Ichthyosaur), but even if we only are going to see him some seconds, we could improve their textures:

Looks "decent" since I just made a normal map and added some values, but a texturer can make a better work.
Maybe there could be some ichty skeletons scattered around the coast.
[QUOTE=ralle105;44703722]Maybe there could be some ichty skeletons scattered around the coast.[/QUOTE]
that would be a really cool throw back.
[editline]sd[/editline]
would be even cooler if there was a human skeleton wearing decaying scientist lab suits and glasses (reminiscent of hl1) :v: in pieces in some of the ichty carcuses
eh, what do you think of this crossbow sound?

While it's a departure from the iconic "thwooop" noise, I like it a lot. I'd have no problems with that being the official sound. Although you wouldn't be able to recreate this as well:

Since you were asking for any photos that might come in handy, I went on a tour of an old prison last night
Some pictures are a bit shit because it was dark as hell and we had to keep moving, but it gives a nice idea of what a decaying prison looks like

Would probably be better to sculpt that shit, a normal map based simply off a diffuse texture will give undesirable results.

Getting the original files from HL2 disk
[QUOTE=tehstrelok;44704391]eh, what do you think of this crossbow sound?[/QUOTE]
I know that's probably because of the skin which isn't a part of the mod, but you gotta love how the rebar doesn't actually heat up until it makes contact with the Crossbow
you mean, like it would actually? rebar isn't blistering hot from the outset.
Thats... exactly what I mean :v:
I always found it annoying that the rebar was practically burning in Gordon Freeman's hands before touching the battery
[QUOTE=IceyMalone;44706984]Thats... exactly what I mean :v:

I thought it also didn't heat up until it was set?
I wouldn't know since I modded my crossbow to shoot Odessas.
As far as I can tell, the only "heating up" is a random spark that appears when the bolt gets set :v:
[QUOTE=IceyMalone;44707065]As far as I can tell, the only "heating up" is a random spark that appears when the bolt gets set :v:[/QUOTE]
would be nice if it could be set to gradually turn red from heating up
I always thought that it would be some form of induction heating being used to heat the rebar considering that the crossbow does have a big ol battery stuck to the bottom, it would also explain how it heats up so quick.

What kinds of skills are you guys looking for? I'd volunteer, but I don't know if my skills would be useful.

Well, that's why this is Improvement mod, you have the man power and skills to manage that. I'm sure you will able to pull it easily.
We see it for 3 seconds, I think that normal map might be fine, actually.
