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

Fuck it, let's just call it the "Colt [I]Anaconda[/I] Python", and call it a day.

[QUOTE=Dr. Kyuros;45286206]Fuck it, let's just call it the "Colt [I]Anaconda[/I] Python", and be done for today.[/QUOTE] The Horse Cobra, firing .375 Jumbo rounds. It's a perfect companion to the Frenchi SPAZ-14 shotgun.

[QUOTE=gk99;45285958]Well yeah, Valve didn't exactly go and make all their textures. IIRC they've even used some decals [I]made by someone here at Facepunch[/I] in L4D2[/QUOTE] Did he actually make them or get them off of cgtextures, Ive seen quite a few of Volvos textures from them

[QUOTE=Starscre4M;45282584]looks like valve utilized this pic for the world model texture [img]http://i.imgur.com/TlhAm6S.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/SNTh8t6.png[/img] :v:

Make him file a DMCA and watch the boxes drop

[QUOTE=Sally;45287447]Make him file a DMCA and watch the bombs drop[/QUOTE] If they actually took it from him, do you think they didn't ask permission? DMCA isn't the right thing to file either.

What if all of the weapons are just hybrid weapons that look similar to their real life counterparts, but have completely different functions because of technology and "creativity". Like how the SMG is similar to the MP7, but it is slightly bulkier and fires explosive sausages from a soda straw barrel?

[QUOTE=Sally;45287447]Make him file a DMCA and watch the bombs drop[/QUOTE] Pretty sure they were CC0 or something because he didn't really make a huge deal about it.

[QUOTE=gk99;45291830]Pretty sure they were CC0 or something because he didn't really make a huge deal about it.[/QUOTE] I would of been proud if someone at Valve seen my work as worthy for their game.

[QUOTE=gk99;45285958]Well yeah, Valve didn't exactly go and make all their textures. IIRC they've even used some decals [I]made by someone here at Facepunch[/I] in L4D2[/QUOTE] A lot of valve's textures come from pictures. They don't even bother cropping off the picture for some of them. I think they have better artists now though.

never stops them from making good games :v:

I don't think it was bad artistry. It was a different time; you didn't need to hand-create everything cause who the fuck can tell the difference at that resolution anyway?

So I've been lurking for a while. Is there ever any actual progress made on the modification or do you guys just talk about "what should be in the mod" and then forget about it? In that vein of useless things the mod makers will never implement, I say that the SMG's secondary fire should be a shotgun shell instead of a grenade, and the Shotgun's secondary fire should be semi-auto fire in exchange for a loss of accuracy ala SMOD.

What images did valve use? I'm curious now.

What would possibly make you think that's a good idea?

[QUOTE=DONOTWANT;45297926]Can I ask why? What would possibly make you think that's a good idea?[/QUOTE] Valve's complete misunderstanding of how guns work bothers me. That tiny MP9 shouldn't be firing chunky grenades out of that lower barrel, and the "second barrel" on the shotgun is the loading tube.

[QUOTE=nomad1;45297805]What images did valve use? I'm curious now.[/QUOTE] There is a drain pipe decal taken directly off of CGTextures, quite a few others too. I mean if you use CGT as a reference or use it for base stuff it's fine, but the whole damn thing was used by Valve.

That tiny MP9 shouldn't be firing chunky grenades out of that lower barrel, and the "second barrel" on the shotgun is the loading tube.[/QUOTE]So your saying, rather than change the MP7 to have a reasonably sized barrel, you want to give the gun another feature it doesn't have in real life & one that is redundant with another weapon in the game? The loading tube thing I hear a lot, but trust me, they know it's a loading tube, not a second barrel. Someone would have pointed it out at some point while modeling, texturing or animating it. Hell, the alt-fire sound effect in the HL2 leak is clearly two sequential firing sounds. If the hud tip said "fire two barrels" instead of "fire both barrels" this probably wouldn't be such a common complaint. If anything, why not suggest the Shotgun's primary fire be semi-automatic with an accuracy trade-off & remove the alt-fire entirely? The problem is, the biggest drawback to the shotgun is it's slow, so making it (or the magnum) semi-automatic removes one of its biggest weaknesses & increases one of its biggest strengths; DPS. Yeah, there would be an accuracy trade-off, but that's entirely under player control. I'm not saying making the shotgun semi-automatic is a bad idea. Some time ago I even thought of putting it in the mod I wanted to do but there's a lot to consider when balancing weapons, but is it really worth possibly pissing people off with unnecessary changes & doing all that balancing work just for a tiny bit of added realism?

Seriously, half of this thread seems to be about fixing things that were never broken

[QUOTE=ElusiveBadger;45298237]Valve's complete misunderstanding of how guns work bothers me. That tiny MP9 shouldn't be firing chunky grenades out of that lower barrel, and the "second barrel" on the shotgun is the loading tube.[/QUOTE] MP7 not MP9. Completely different weapons.

[QUOTE=ElusiveBadger;45297804]So I've been lurking for a while.[/QUOTE] Apparently not, because if you had been, you would've noticed the thirty times someone on the dev team's gone out and said "we're doing things behind the scenes and just not posting about it" [QUOTE]In that vein of useless things the mod makers will never implement, I say that the SMG's secondary fire should be a shotgun shell instead of a grenade, and the Shotgun's secondary fire should be semi-auto fire in exchange for a loss of accuracy ala SMOD.[/QUOTE] Stupid as fuck idea lets drop it and move on.

Why don't we add the "2 shots in quick succession" feature for the SPAS-12 from Black Mesa? The ammo tube is not supposed to be the second barrel, Valve.

why not suggest real enhancements like reverting the jeep physics back to old hl2 instead of the broken orangebox clownery
