I know no one agrees but I've always liked all the stuff he adds. The plane wreckage looks amazing on the coast later on.
And on stealing stuff, he's not really making a mod, just trying to make it look pretty. You could consider using CGTextures stealing.[/QUOTE]
Yeah the bridge and the plane look pretty neat. The problem is that they make about as much sense as Doomeddec's jokes.
Think about it. What the hell was a 747 (Lufthansa, btw, which only further detracts sense) doing crash landed in eastern russia? Who builds a bridge across an entire lake to what the meps say is the middle of the sea?
[QUOTE=Armageddon104;40774985] You could consider using CGTextures stealing.[/QUOTE]
I [I]could[/I] if CGtextures didn't exist specifically to be used by professionals and hobbyists alike.
You can't steal a balloon on free balloon day.
Also can we NOT FUCKING TOUCH the soundtrack please? It was anemic and minimal and melodyless most of the time for [I]very[/I] specific reasons. Half Life is about ambience, not jingles.
[QUOTE=Stiffy360;40764901]Hey guys, would you mind if we took a few creative liberties with the maps? Not as much as fakefactory did, but I think some extra buildings and trees n stuff would help the location feel more believable.
Or would you rather have very few changes to the location?[/QUOTE]
If you add more dead trees where there are already dead trees or more pine trees where there are already pine trees then that's good
if you start going the fakefactory way where you spam pine trees everywhere though...

I don't see what's wrong with that at all. It's a fine addition to a game that was really lacking in assfloss and celebratory party colored power cables.
That ass does remind me though, it would be cool to see some fake subsurface scattering via a lightwrap material. I know there's a legit SSS shader floating around for Source somewhere, but it just doesn't look right.
Half life 2's score is a fragile jenga tower made of burnt matches. Don't ever fucking touch it.
Well, if some of you don't like the original Half Life 2 OST, why not have it replaced with soundtracks from another mod. For instance, Smod Outbreak has some really good music:
[video=youtube;sN-PtWXVI80]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN-PtWXVI80[/video]
Although i'm not really sure if it will fit the HL2 atmosphere. But it feels great in the mod itself.
[QUOTE=Butthurter;40775300]wow rude
but ill admit only 1 or 2 tracks in the public release sounded very portal 2 ok[/QUOTE]
Well the final release music is by a completely different person.
You could have an extended train ride intro and put the credits for the mod there á la Half Life 1
We could borrow the soundtrack from Robot Unicorn Attack.

Sample the soundtrack from Odessa's voice lines.
Every song needs to be replaced with this

That large, yes. That large spanning an entire coast when it could just be a road with some smaller bridges (you know, [U]like the one that chapter is based around[/U]), no. Bridges that large tend to be a bit more featured, and more importantly, spanning a bay between 2 points in a major city. His location makes no sense at all.
As for the plane wreckage, I didn't really like it. It's a cool idea, but executed wrongly. The biggest issue foremost, is that fact that airplanes do not crash that way. Airplanes break apart when they crash, even at a low angle. At a high angle (like his), it should have disintegrated, and instead we'd just find bits of coloured metal and occasionally recognisable airplane parts laying all over the map (with a crater full of metal chunks at the impact site). The Oil Tanker Trinidad was pretty cool though, I'll admit. I still think it was kind of misplaced at where on the coast he decided it should be parked.

Y'know if the mod team was to throw an Easter egg somewhere in the game, this would be a good thing to use. But let's not worry about that for now.
I suppose the soundtrack should be left alone, but what about the ambiance sound effects that are in-game? Are you guys going to change those?
[QUOTE=Butthurter;40773382]were just worried bc the team behind the portal 1 remake alive & kicking decided to remake the ost that sounds absolutely nothing like portal nor portal 2, and comes off as just stupid techno for the sake of being techno[/QUOTE]
I made that soundtrack. :(
I agree totally with that, everyone has been bringing everything up at once about the game. Even I am guilty of that.
[QUOTE=I am Error;40775733]or do this

Late as heck, but I was going to add more foliage in general. Not the crap tons he has, but yano, C17 is a little sparse on trees, even dead ones. and we're going to make new models for a lot of trees. the original ones are complete crap, and the episode 2 pine trees scare me.
Please don't sue if we take more artistic liberties. Mapping is kinda slow, because we are still getting content in the game, and working some things out.
As long as you don't touch the [I]fucking soundtrack.[/I]
Certainly there wouldn't be any harm in bringing tracks from EP1 and 2 into HL2 at appropriate places?
[QUOTE=Skyward;40782755]Certainly there wouldn't be any harm in bringing tracks from EP1 and 2 into HL2 at appropriate places?[/QUOTE]
please no. The half life 2 soundtrack was perfectly fine. Change too many things about a game and it turns into somthing else. You need to keep somthing the same.
Why is the soundtrack even being discussed? It isn't in the mod's goals to alter the soundtrack, and Corgi has already said they won't touch it.
Oh my god guys the soundtrack is good but its not untouchably Godly for fucks sakes.
[QUOTE=IM BATMAN;40782908]Oh my god guys the soundtrack is good but its not untouchably godly for fucks sakes.[/QUOTE]
Regardless, it's one of the things that can't exactly be "enhanced". you can make a texture look better, a map make more sense, but the music will always be an opinion thing that literally can't be enhanced.
Unless you're talking about the placement of the songs, then yeah that can be changed I guess.
I think you're putting it on too high of a pedestal, dude.

Besides, I'm just talking about bringing in more Half Life music. How is that going to make it LESS Half Life?
[QUOTE=Skyward;40782980]I think you're putting it on too high of a pedestal, dude.[/QUOTE]
I dont see how. Doesn't really matter anyway, as it has been said that he isn't touching the soundtrack, for good reasons ofcourse.

When was that said? If you're referring to my "why would we?" comment, [I]thats for completely ripping out the Half-Life 2 music and replacing it. [/I]If anyone provides anything with other team members saying that we are not changing the soundtrack I will gladly stand corrected.
