[QUOTE=Tuskin;43340101]One of the BM Forum mods has access to the game [img]http://i.imgur.com/Qi2nisa.png[/img][/QUOTE] I'm going to the BM forums to 'question' him.

Assuming this is not a fake, it means they're testing the game on Steam which means...That if we are lucky...If all goes well... That...I don't know. Giving a date estimate on this is like gambling for a Fat Horse. You lose even if you win.

[QUOTE=QueenMelanie;43342907]Assuming this is not a fake, it means they're testing the game on Steam[/QUOTE] Well the 'Black Mesa' background was taken from somewhere. Not sure where that Steam status plugin gets its images, if its from the valve server then it is legit. Plus the Steam ID their web developer posted with no context has had people playing it over the last few weeks. [editline]29th December 2013[/editline] Apparently it is Black Mesa Deathmatch Testing. The source is said to be on this group page but the steam web servers seem down and it will not load [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/bmsbt[/url]

It is run by the real devs, and it popped up around 12/14, so this could be the start of something..

[QUOTE]Test at 8PM GMT ~ 2 hours and a half December 29 - Text FAMGUY1 | 0 Comments Yes, 2 days in a row. Got a new map, and some other cool bits. Will post another announcement with server details nearer the time.[/QUOTE] the guy who did the uncut maps is leading this operation they're testing deathmatch maps it seems

[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;43346993]It does seem to be real. It is run by the real devs, and it popped up around 12/14, so this could be the start of something..[/QUOTE] Ah I see that now. When I posted it no steam pages were loading.

I'm glad Text got a team position, he was a good mapper and a nice guy.

Finally did it [video=youtube;IGDD83S9BS8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGDD83S9BS8[/video] Don't know how to hide the menu logo though (but not sure if I should because then it wouldn't show in game)

ACHIEVEMENTS really bothers me.

I didn't make the colored menu theme, that was done a while ago by somebody on the BM forums, I've just been using it because of the colors and font.

That doesn't have anything to do with the fact that one menu option is in all caps while the rest are normal.

The only way to hide the menu logo is to erase "BL@CK MESA" from "gameinfo.txt", but that also hides the ingame menu logo like bloodshot said.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;43382392]That doesn't have anything to do with the fact that one menu option is in all caps while the rest are normal.[/QUOTE] Well I was just pointing that out since I don't know how to change it, though I'd like to. EDIT: I tweaked the revamp MP5 since I thought the texture kind of felt out of place, all the other revamp weapons have phong shading and normals, and the diffuse textures are purposely flat, while this MP5 has no normals or phong, and the shading is "painted" on the texture, like a GoldSrC skin - so I made normals for all the textures, enabled phong, and modified the texture to get rid of most of the "fake" shading. Does it look okay?

I think the normal map needs waaay less noise. That's spec's job.

me want

Reduced the noise on the normals [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/703984918917060636/0F70A5ACBD30657DAB23E2044F599FD2C4488C45/[/t] [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/703984918917064525/08A623E14456B9069ED6E7CABB04E47E49EDBA41/[/t] Here's the download [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/vgu85lljyx505m1/MP5+reskin+%2B+shading.rar[/url] EDIT: I included some new sounds in the gamebanana link as well.

Wow, you can shoot the fire button for the rocket engine and it actually sets it off? That's pretty cool. Uploaded that WON background [url]http://blackmesa.gamebanana.com/guis/29614[/url]

Uploaded that WON background [url]http://blackmesa.gamebanana.com/guis/29614[/url][/QUOTE] Nice and all, but even with the autoexec file it still just shows me the background of a current chapter. If I load it manually with 'map_background' I can see off the sides. [t]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/487812589991405518/C4E832F794BDDBD49AAE96E32D67F92FC45A2180/[/t] But it looks amazing.

I forgot to include the scripts in the zip as well as the console background. Also I need to add a version to support for 16:9 resolutions, I'll update it as soon as I do

[QUOTE=Tuskin;43406874]Someone beat black mesa in 1.5 hours [url]http://www.twitch.tv/maxxuss/c/3489629[/url][/QUOTE] This makes me want one of those segmented speedruns like High velocity HL2 speedrun or Spider's HL1 speedrun.

Ok, updated the files with all the necessary scripts and vmts. It should work now when you choose the file for your aspect ratio. [url]http://blackmesa.gamebanana.com/guis/29614[/url]

[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;43408283]This makes me want one of those segmented speedruns like High velocity HL2 speedrun or Spider's HL1 speedrun.[/QUOTE] Me too. However, there's not gonna be one anytime soon, especially if they're could be an update any day

I'm sure some of you heard about this steam leak. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1344883[/url] Black Mesa is on the list, too, so who knows.
