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

speaking of cats there should be a cat that you can find as an easter egg, that's turned inside out, with an achievement attached called "Don't Show Barney"

[QUOTE=SFC003;41381706]speaking of cats there should be a cat that you can find as an easter egg, that's turned inside out, with an achievement attached called "Don't Show Barney"[/QUOTE] Since it'd be hard to tell what it is, just have a slab of meat somewhere make a muffled meow sound. Ehehee

[QUOTE=SFC003;41378294]curiosity killed the cat what cat?[/QUOTE] But... that cat never died? :tinfoil:

[QUOTE=Minelayer;41382323]Since it'd be hard to tell what it is, just have a slab of meat somewhere make a muffled meow sound. Ehehee[/QUOTE] put it in with the all-knowing vortigaunt for maximum effect

Why was I being rated late? I was simply adding to the then [U]current[/U] conversation. :v:

[QUOTE=EpicRandomnes;41382353]But... that cat never died? :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] The cat haunts Barney, how could it do that if the cat was alive?

[QUOTE=I am Error;41382995]The cat haunts Barney, how could it do that if the cat was alive?[/QUOTE] Um... stalking it?

[QUOTE=I am Error;41382995]The cat haunts Barney, how could it do that if the cat was alive?[/QUOTE] If you can consider its current state life.

We ought to have [URL="http://s8.postimg.org/7xgsuxy6d/That_Cat.jpg"]that cat[/URL] as an easter egg in the game that only facepunch users would get.

And then when you place it in one of those mini teleporters it comes out the other one distorted or as a picture of something else.

Hey, thought I'd stop by. I was just playing through HL2 again and I remembered that it's still using that Advisor model from 2004 even though Valve has had a newer, cleaner model since '07. Will the Advisor's model be updated to the newer model, and, while it also be getting a texture makeover as well (for either model, new or old, they need it). Comparison for those who have forgotten: [thumb]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090604205310/half-life/en/images/4/41/Advisor_hl2_model.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090604205310/half-life/en/images/c/c9/Advisor_Ep2_model.jpg[/thumb] Stupid jpegs.

Nice find.

To me, the one in EP2 is not the same as in HL2 for a reason. My thoughts are that the one in HL2 is some sort of Advisor 'commander' or 'dictator' of sorts, and the ones in EP2 are either new and improved versions of the advisors (talking about their species 'evolution, not model quality), or just newly '"born" Advisors.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;41385797]but its pretty obvious the hl2 advisor doesnt fit in with the retail hl2 combine art style everything on the hl2 advisor from texture work to silhouette just screams lovecraftian horror[/QUOTE] I like that about it. This thing is so alien it looks out of place with the aliens.

The advisor in Ep1 uses the old model when it's put into the pods they use to escape, and you see it spying on you with TV screens just like the new ones do in Ep2. You'd expect that one to be one of the new Advisors if they were a separate type. That's just my opinion though - if people prefer the old design I don't really mind, although if I had the choice I'd rather port the Ep2 one over (it probably doesn't need a new model/texture since you just see it on screens).

We need to get Marc Laidlaw in here and ask him a ton of questions. :v:

If it hasn't been discussed already. For comparison: [url]http://images.wikia.com/half-life/en/images/e/e8/Helicopterbombep1.jpg[/url] vs. [url]http://images.wikia.com/half-life/en/images/4/46/Hunter-chopper_bomb.jpg[/url]

ah yes, the helicopter bombs made of wood

I made a skybox [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/613897358238670261/8089A681D7D71AD13092E313D38704AA63669F86/[/t] Maybe it'll be in the mod, we'll have to see.

Also, I think the old bomb's texture has some charm to it: reminds me of an old videogame bomb with those yellow lights.

I made a new error model! [IMG]https://imageshack.com/a/img560/9369/r0iy.png[/IMG] 552 polys compared to the 2k polys on the current one and its more enjoyable. I got the idea when I see a tf2 alpha video. [url]http://youtu.be/Ncm248sBNF4?t=1m12s[/url]

[QUOTE=Sally;41387999]I made a new error model! [PENIS] 552 polys compared to the 2k polys on the current one and its more enjoyable. [/QUOTE] Although it's a [I]wonderful[/I] improvement over the old one, there's no need to replace the old one since it's not supposed to be seen, anyways.

I disagree. I made my own dev textures just to feel elite. It must be done. Total conversion, even during development.

[QUOTE=Armageddon104;41388783]I disagree. I made my own dev textures just to feel elite. It must be done. Total conversion, even during development.[/QUOTE] Black Mesa replaced theirs. I'm not sure what the point is, it just says "[highlight]ERROR SUCCESS[/highlight]" instead of "[highlight]ERROR[/highlight]", but they did.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;41389475]Black Mesa replaced theirs. I'm not sure what the point is, it just says "[highlight]ERROR SUCCESS[/highlight]" instead of "[highlight]ERROR[/highlight]", but they did.[/QUOTE] Because they can.
