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

Also there's some weird smoothing around the holes, but...meh.

It's very strange that it would be entirely opaque, and it would be neat to look out over another section of the city.

Some of them are actually walls, and some of them don't actually lead outside at all.

For optimization reasons most likely. We'll probably add a blind or something for it to make sense.

I think there are ones similar to them that fade out into blackness when you get far enough away in other maps, too. [QUOTE=Stiffy360;40611962]For optimization reasons most likely.

Plus the combine might be against accessories blocking windows

I don't think blinds would be too out of place, actually I think it would be cool if some of the apartments had damaged blinds like these: [img]http://uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/130412k.jpg[/img]

Besides, I doubt the Combine care if you block your windows, they don't use those to spy on you. If they think you're doing something bad, they'll just go raid your apartment and arrest you.

[URL="http://vocaroo.com/i/s1N7S8x4SXUu"]thanks for pming this to me [/URL] But back on topic, what's principals are going on behind the enhancement of the generic characters? Are their faces gonna stay modeled off of the same folks or will they be changed completely?

I think we should model some extra faces for the citizens or create a face creation system a bit similar to the one in BM:S, except for each default face instead of just one. Either way, I say we should keep the original citizens and just enhance them.

Everytime someone "enhances it" [URL="http://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-2-short-stories"]Human Errors[/URL] happens, so please BE CAREFUL!

Black Mesa did a fine job with their face system though.

Now this, on the other hand, is pretty high up there. [IMG]http://hlssmod.net/images/Olivia.png[/IMG] Trust me, she looks more alien than a vortigaunt when she comes close. I guess it's because of the terrible forehead design. And the eyes, and the dress, and the plastic skin...

[QUOTE=majan222;40610233]One thing that worries me about this smg: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/UgZa1zv.jpg[/thumb] This part looks like it has been badly photoshoped.[/QUOTE] Yeah I might mess with the fresnel ranges and see if I can get something a bit more natural looking.

[QUOTE=Snood_1990;40614508]Yeah I might mess with the fresnel ranges and see if I can get something a bit more natural looking.[/QUOTE] It's also partly the normalmap, looks a bit "compressed" or clipped in some way.

[QUOTE=glitchvid;40614513]It's also partly the normalmap, looks a bit "compressed" or clipped in some way.[/QUOTE] Might be my phongmask. Do we know if $ambientocclusion works at all? I heard it was an experiemental shader that wasn't enabled or something. [QUOTE=Butthurter;40614433]where the fuck is that from[/QUOTE] Human Error.

[QUOTE=Snood_1990;40614533] Human Error.[/QUOTE] Is that from the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeu0TWTm--4#t=7m32s]Garden Party[/url]?

Human Error is a fun mod, it's just that the guys behind it are in real need of some better modelers.

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;40615844]Human Error is a fun mod, it's just that the guys behind it are in real need of some better modelers.[/QUOTE] Yeah, their brains must have an Human Error somehow...

To be fair there really needs to be more mods like Human Error. Sick of the only co-op mods being Synergy and OC

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40616546]To be fair there really needs to be more mods like Human Error. Sick of the only co-op mods being Synergy and OC[/QUOTE] OC is back under development and is moving away from the early "everyone wants hl2 beta type content!!" days. Granted it's SDK is broken for most so there are no new maps for it lately, but that'll change once it gets greenlit.

But it's almost 3 years ago(Nov 21st, 2010) for Obsidian Conflict's [URL="http://www.moddb.com/mods/obsidian-conflict/news/new-team-members-next-stop-steamworks"]Steamwork news.[/URL] Also, Half-Life 2 SteamPipe update is going to break all mods that mount it's content [B]for real[/B] this time, but we'll able to mount it as soon as Alien Swarm goes SteamPipe, for the first time. There's no more luck for Source SDK Base 2007 mods. P.S: This game is going to have Cooperative/Deathmatch gamemodes too.
