Half-life 2 Cut Content - Is it me or dose the cut content look better than what we got? - Games

[QUOTE=FlamingBlizza;48650352]but you keep bringing it up?[/QUOTE] Now you're keeping the subject going, hypocrite. I have no problem continuing this conversation if you want to keep replying about it, I have nothing to hide, but if you guys want it to end, then you take the first step. [QUOTE=Nukedrabbit95;48650396]Well here's what I got so far: (pics) [/quote] This looks good, but apart from the texture choices and some other details it's also strikingly similar to the original. Is your goal to just have better brushwork from a clean slate? I guess there's no harm in that. The original map is a fucking mess.

[QUOTE=MI_Junk;48650424]Is your goal to just have better brushwork from a clean slate? I guess there's no harm in that. The original map is a fucking mess.[/QUOTE] For now, pretty much. Didn't want to do anything too radical right off the bat. I do plan to expand the playable space into that street where the soldiers are marching, so I'll likely redo that whole area. I'm also considering changing the lighting to go more for that gloomy and dark look from the concept art, cause honestly it looks pretty bland right now.

Sounds like a plan. I'd like to see how you do the soldier parade. Every version of it I've seen has been kinda fucky looking. Good luck dude.

Somehow, I'm not longer surprised the AGNMI hated you.

[QUOTE=MI_Junk;48650608]Go start a forum about it, then.[/QUOTE] This is exactly my point.

@Nukedrabbit95 That's a good start! Are you planning on using leak and/or custom textures/models or HL2 assets only? Since the thread is getting more alive and more people post stuff, why don't I show something, too. Here's some WIP shots of my Construction site.

[QUOTE=Pigbear;48650594]Somehow, I'm not longer surprised the AGNMI hated you.[/QUOTE] So a few snarky remarks makes it okay to hate someone, and attempt to get into their personal lives? Interesting way of thinking there mate. [QUOTE=Cvoxalury;48651385]The crane model comes from the leak but it's been corrupted during decompilation, so I had to build this brush replica.[/QUOTE] Hook me up with a filename and I'll fix it up for you.

[QUOTE=ProZak;48651440] Hook me up with a filename and I'll fix it up for you.[/QUOTE] Thanks but that's not necessary, I'll rebuild the model later anyway, plus the leak one only has the top part. It wasn't exactly broken during porting, it's origin/angles were messed up and I was too lazy to fix it via $origin. No big deal.

Sorry for restarting the AGNMI drama for a bit there.

I guess technically it could be possible but its unlikely so I'd change it. I don't know if this is something Valve did, and it doesn't really matter because I'd still change it ;) Second thing is Source's water that looks like crap but there's not much to do about it. Maybe throw in a rowing boat in the water to take the eyes off the water :P

Alright, glad to see some more content in here [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/6RXYXN9.jpg[/img_thumb] I haven't used hammer in a while, I decided to ditch the L-shaped road I had for this since making it look right with the tram ride would be a pain in the ass. Also, I'm considering dropping the sickly green sky & lighting in favor of something else. I'm not quite sure yet

But they're beautiful

I did a more detailed model version of the brush caprice and van at one point, would anyone be interested if I still have it?

Are you people ever going to release these maps?

[QUOTE=Gamerjman19;48654107]Are you people ever going to release these maps?[/QUOTE] I certainly am. Trust me, you will be able to play them.

[QUOTE=Gamerjman19;48654107]Are you people ever going to release these maps?[/QUOTE] Are you the same Jman who used to be in Team GabeN?

[QUOTE=Cvoxalury;48654190]I certainly am. Trust me, you will be able to play them.[/QUOTE] Don't say that, that's what people always say before they fall off the face of the Earth. Like in movies, the guy who takes out a picture of his family is the one who gets killed.

[QUOTE=MI_Junk;48654692]Are you the same Jman who used to be in Team GabeN?[/QUOTE] No, I don't know anything about Source. I know the basic knowledge of the HL2 beta, that's about it.

[QUOTE=MI_Junk;48654692]Are you the same Jman who used to be in Team GabeN?[/QUOTE] please stop furthering my point that they disliked you for a reason by randomly accusing dudes.

[QUOTE=Pigbear;48655347]please stop furthering my point that they disliked you for a reason by randomly accusing dudes.[/QUOTE] Are you kidding me dude? We used to have a member named Jman who disappeared in 2007, I was just legitimately wondering if this was the same guy since his name has "jman" in it and this thread is full of people I haven't heard from in many years. How was my question at all an accusation? "Oh, did you used to be our friend" is what counts as an accusation in your eyes? Maybe you should just go ahead and start your own forum about us already you paranoid loser. [editline]10th September 2015[/editline] Here's an old screenshot of when we got deathmatch working in the GabeN HL2 fix back in the day, featuring the original Jman. [img]http://i.imgur.com/GfHyOsI.jpg[/img] [editline]10th September 2015[/editline] Just found the rest of the pictures from that multiplayer test. I think we were just fucking around on e3_bugbait spawning enemies and seeing how all these glitchy protoype weapons work in a multiplayer setting. We were once considering doing Missing Information Deathmatch, but that never really took off.

I guess Essel didn't send me the portable thumper model before we did this test. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Qx7ACN4.jpg[/img]

@Junk & ScarT Say, can you elaborate on the GabeNet? What was it, exactly, what's become of it? Why did some people (on Russian forums) think you were fascists who deliberately block Russian users on GabeNet? That's exactly what I was told some years ago, anyway.

GabeNet was supposed to be our own clone of Steam to distribute GabeN HL2, but that kinda fell through. I don't remember anything about blocking Russians in particular. Maybe just a couple people from Grigori's Forum who were particularly antagonistic towards us, but that's only a retroactive guess as to why you think that is the case. At any rate, I don't even remember if we made anything available through it at all. slkandy was programming it, he'd remember better than me. I do remember it was tied into our website where screenshots that I took were automatically uploaded. Not sure if that screenshot library still exists though.

I had a thought about Half-Life 2 Beta Deathmatch before. It was pretty horrifying, mostly about how many more "bullshit" deaths there would be. Not just a SLAM waiting around the corner, hallways full of Hopwires. Rather than pulse orbs bouncing around tiny rooms, there'd be Combine Guard Gun shots sniping you from across the map. Instead of a toilet to the head via Gravity Gun, the GMod favorite of wildly swinging a physics prop around in front of them with the Physics Manipulator. Sticky Launcher, Immolator, the list goes on.

Yeah it would be pretty ridiculous, but I guess if one were to tweak the weapons to not be so absurd it could work in a sort of everyone-has-the-same-overpowered-nonsense-weapons kind of way. At least there would be a real sniper rifle.

Oh well! Anyway, that was a second-hand information, which I was told about the time I just started DI. That kinda set me against you back then, to be honest. I was somewhat gullible. If I remember correctly, there was a thread on hl-beta.spb.ru, dated back 2008, about alpha testing either TF2 fix or HL2DM fix. Some people wanted to participate but Gabenet didn't work for them, which led to speculation about Russian IPs being banned in the system. P. S. Downloaded a MP fix from hl2-beta.ru, gonna try it. Is leak MP in general similar to HL1 Alpha MP, or even worse than that?
