Black Mesa Source V5 - "They're still working on Xen?"

will the uplink level ever be incorperated to the actual game itself, that'd be cool
[QUOTE=A big fat ass;44350162]The problem with adding so many props is that props in Source have shit lighting and don't render shadows properly on brushwork. If they're getting a custom version of the engine, I hope that's one of the things they fix. It's a giant problem in Source which is pretty much a non-problem in any other modern engine these days.[/QUOTE]
Well they did say the new engine gave them access to features they didn't have before, and the new models are only going to be used in the new engine.
So I made a ridiculous product placement texture mod.

This is a fan-made hl3 trailer that was posted over in the videos section.
Notice the bit with the gman toward the end. The credits say he used black mesa assets, and while my first guess would be it's only the hgrunt skin he used for what I assume is his hopeful inclusion of Adrian Shepard (I can't tell if that's a Black Mesa skin, I'm sure you guys know), I really want this to be a cheeky Xen cameo from the team.

The hgrunt and manta rays are from Black Mesa, but I don't think this Xen would be a cameo from the team, really bad imo.

There was a lot more bad than that.

You're judging it based on the skybox and a few rocks? I thought the skybox looked pretty nice, really.

I actually thought it was pretty impressive, especially comparing to other fan-made trailers out there. It was visually well-done, without having to use too much of that "DYNAMIC-ANGLE-ZOOM-PAN-FLASH-BLUR" crap that other fan trailers use in the place of actual work. I mean, the video wasn't perfect, nothing fan-made really can be. But you have to give them credit for how well they did with what they had.

I actually really liked the video, just the xen scene that I thought it was bad, the skybox was ok but not something that really reminded me of xen, the same goes for the rocks, they were just too much earth-like, didn't actually look alien like they did in half-life.

it looks good, but it's inaccurate. IIRC, xen has a colorful green & blue or purple sky.
It was sloppy in some parts, like the huge hat Alyx takes off and puts behind her that mysteriously disappears when you see her walking forwards.
acording to the fan film beyond black mesa, adrian shephard from the combine era was not an hecu anymore, he became a rebel to survive against the combine
-snip didn't think twice-
Pretty cool, but Alyx doesn't look like Alyx. I have to agree xen could use a more colorful alien nebulae appearance.

Someone repost them heeere.
Couple of those are from the mod, should be easy to tell which.
Is that how the Crowbar's going to look in Firstperson now? That really looks awkward.

It is really awkward to beat zombies to death with a crowbar considering its a utility tool.
[QUOTE=Pigbear;44402195]It is really awkward to beat zombies to death with a crowbar considering its a utility tool.[/QUOTE]
Not really. Utility tool or not, it's a big heavy metal stick.
I hope they give it better animations, or at least make it look like it's actually hitting what it's supposed to be hitting.

The reanimation pack by Illopn has some really kick-ass animations for the crowbar at least.
