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

[QUOTE=skyms2663;46964954]Something seems to be happening over at the Black Mesa forums [url]http://forums.blackmesasource.com/[/url][/QUOTE] They seem to be undergoing a redesign, earlier that error page was the normal one, small dark box, white text. Now it's bright yellow, and wide-screen. Something indeed... [editline]19th January 2015[/editline] Interestingly the last time I checked, it had the "these things" video on the old layout. The layout has changed but the notice hasn't been updated.

Hubicorn just posted this.

It works great on mobile devices too

New design is flashy, but I don't like the blurry text and the difference between [I]read[/I] and [I]unread[/I] isn't immediately apparent, you have to look for it. Also I can't find the little button you click that takes you back to the last post you read in a thread so you start at the new posts.

I only recall like one of those dingy-ass refrigerators appearing in the game at all and it's a static prop so you can't even see the back

IIRC that was a reused HL2 prop. Maybe now it'll be a physics prop since it has a workable back end.

Gravity gun dlc confirmed

Even if it's just a static prop, it can be nice to use for personal reasons, such as using it in your own map. I like the fact that he made extra vertices for the support studs of the condenser coils.

[QUOTE=Merijnwitje;46979239]the support studs of the condenser coils.[/QUOTE] You just made refrigerators sound super SyFy awesome.

I cannot wait for the steam release. The workshop for this game will be GOLDEN. Oh...um...and Xen. Forgot about that. Looking forward to supporting the developers.

Now all we need is a new version of sven coop.

Brian posted in the BM forums of the two ingame screenshots of the [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1266077&p=46975692&viewfull=1#post46975692"]prop images[/URL] I posted here two days ago.

Been thinking since HL1 and Duke3D were pretty similar gameplay wise, i might try making a duke3d-style city map with a lot of interactivity stuff once BMDM comes out

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;46997533]Been thinking since HL1 and Duke3D were pretty similar gameplay wise, i might try making a duke3d-style city map with a lot of interactivity stuff once BMDM comes out[/QUOTE] Like that one with the vault? Loved that fucking map.

You mean bank roll? Maybe something like that. I want to try something different from hollywood holocaust since I have a remake/reimagining of that for HL1

Here's another prop image been posted in the BM forum's by Brian once again folks.

I rarely check news about BM but recently I saw few posts saying they are looking forward to BM release this year. Did I miss some bit of information or are they just thinking the BM devs are near the end?

[QUOTE=varg666;47011094]This may sound stupid? But which thread in the BM forums you got that information from?[/QUOTE] I didn't make it clear, sorry. Here on FP there was a thread for games you are looking forward to in 2015. Most people posted games that are supposed to be released this year but couple of them mentioned BM. I asked in the thread but no one answered so I asked here. I know it's surely just wishes but I wanted to check if by chance I missed some news.

[T]https://i.imgur.com/64FYbnS.jpg[/T] Goddamn those sprites look awful, for fluorescent fixtures one should use three of them, at a low brightness so they look more decentralized.

My favourite thing about the mod is the viewmodels getting covered in blood, i'm surprised more games don't include it.

Why not none of them? We have fluorescent lights in our kitchen, and they don't look bleed light like that at all. In general I think Black Mesa went [I]way[/I] overboard with the light bleeding effect, they use it on [I]every[/I] light, even the dim ones. It should only be for bright or high-intensity lights, in actually bright areas or on flood lights.

[QUOTE=PacifistHeavy;47049697]My favourite thing about the mod is the viewmodels getting covered in blood, i'm surprised more games don't include it.[/QUOTE] It bugs me quite a bit when you see the seams on them, like in the picture above. Is there a way to fix this?

[QUOTE=PacifistHeavy;47049697]My favourite thing about the mod is the viewmodels getting covered in blood, i'm surprised more games don't include it.[/QUOTE] L4D was supposed to do this but was removed. (It was only for when the Boomer had vomited on you)

[QUOTE=PacifistHeavy;47049697]My favourite thing about the mod is the viewmodels getting covered in blood, i'm surprised more games don't include it.[/QUOTE] I think Dark Messiah did that as well. Its just something you can enable in the code.

So has there been any announcements from the Black Mesa Team about this [url]http://www.bmrf.us/?[/url]

[QUOTE=adamsz;47062410]So has there been any announcements from the Black Mesa Team about this [url]http://www.bmrf.us/?[/url][/QUOTE] I wish would've known what that was going to be before I middle-click opened that on a new tab. Volume was high, scared the shit out of me. Also it's probably just an easter egg. It's not really about anything that could be related to Xen or an ARG
