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

I was thinking that exact thing earlier. 3 fuckin years ago, feels like just yesterday everybody was bitching about BM being vaporware

Yep its all true. Black mesa Steam will be released on steam Tuesday. But no Xen but hey! MP everybody!

[QUOTE=Tuskin;47650420]I would never have thought of taking SP areas and turning them into MP arenas[/QUOTE] Valve did the same with "bounce", "lambda_bunker" and "hunted" for TFC, which uses this [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=436435502"]same area[/URL].

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;47653781]I was thinking that exact thing earlier. 3 fuckin years ago, feels like just yesterday everybody was bitching about BM being vaporware[/QUOTE] I remember when gameplay footage of it leaked and everyone was bitching about the ironsights on the revolver and the voice acting. The voice acting was pretty bad though.

I wonder how good the new Eli VA is.

[QUOTE=richard9311;47651887]Seriously. The second this goes on steam, I'm buying it. I've never been this excited for someone to take my money.[/QUOTE] It will probably be a free mod for HL2, It could be released on steam as it's own free game like Fortress Forever was Also, some changes to kxbm.net The "About Us" link in the image at the bottom no longer works, it used to go to steampowered.com hotdesertsingles.com is now blackmesasource.com There could be other changes but I noticed those, I know everyone knows about this and I am not the first to find this

[QUOTE=Frying1Pans;47654105]It will probably be a free mod for HL2, It could be released on steam as it's own free game like Fortress Forever was [/QUOTE] They confirmed almost 2 Years ago that it is going to be a pay for game on Steam. They got a licence to the source engine and everything. [url]http://forums.blackmesasource.com/index.php/Thread/17088-Happy-Birthday-Half-life/[/url] The currently released free mod version will still be available for everyone though, as a sort of 'demo' for it.

I just noticed that in all the pre-release screenshots and videos, the M1A1 Abrams was green like in the original Half-Life, while the released version is desert-colored.

So is this paid version going to a big upgrade compared to the already existing free version? What big things are new in this paid version?

- MP - custom Source branch, so graphical updates - active development - workshop - constant updates

New models replacing a lot of props as well. Most view novels replaced

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;47652485]Probably, I think I saw them say AI was mostly working in MP (unless maybe I'm remembering wrong?)[/QUOTE] Firefight, anyone?

Updated AI for some of the other NPCs as well, not sure if everything got updated, but I believe most did.

[QUOTE=artDecor;47654070]thats what bad communication does[/QUOTE] yeah... I suppose that is why we had to endure years of the same tired, insufferable posts about the mod being dead and why believing anything else was super optimistic or naive. "They're not telling anybody it's dead because of the backlash! But it is!" I'm not denying that it did come down to bad communication, but it's incredibly annoying that nobody expects the userbase to look into things themselves. People even got mad at the developers! Although all it took was a five minute glance at their forums to know that the mod was active. idk, I just have a hard time faulting the devs.

Black Mesa Dedicated Servers just got added to Anon Server Comp. (So dedicated server accounts can run Black Mesa). [url]https://steamdb.info/sub/17906/history/[/url] EDIT: Aaaaand it's gone.

So, the emergency broad cast audio that's now on the site says the event happened at 9:47 Are they saying it took Gordon an hour to get to the Chamber? :v: [editline]4th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Starscre4M;47657731]The black mesa cards are also from the 362890 appid.[/QUOTE] So I'm guessing the other one was maybe a Beta Test App, and the new one is the release app?

Anyone plan on working on CTF? Can CTF be modded in BM?

Mesaa Ba-by back ribs I guess it's called BMS again because nobody ever remembered they dropped the source anyway and its now official so I'd imagine Valve no longer care? [QUOTE=Megadave;47658604]Anyone plan on working on CTF?

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;47658608]Mesaa Ba-by back ribs I guess it's called BMS again because nobody ever remembered they dropped the source anyway and its now official so I'd imagine Valve no longer care? [/QUOTE] It's named "Black Mesa" everywhere I can see. Server description was just set like that.
