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

Just an interesting thing to add to the discussion (and probabily to ease some moods over here...): [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfVfq150Vaw[/url] I always had the leaked HL1 vmfs and I didnt knew of this...

It just looks like someone it looting a television store in some riots (a very small riot). [QUOTE=xXpyroHatakeXx;42239706]High Quality textures ≠ beta So close, but no crowbar.[/QUOTE] Since when did the beta get an excuse for making something look like it was made in 1999? This is exactly what's wrong the this "community". Everything has to look like poop because "that's how it is in the 'beta'". We are trying to avoid that as much as possible in MI (I'm not saying we don't have content that looks like shit).

It's from beta HL2, Get your Free TVs from back in the day [IMG]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081122135857/half-life/en/images/9/9d/Get_your_free_tvs.jpg[/IMG]

I like what MI is doing, something out of this community has to look high quality. And "no cigar," no crowbar, I was trying to be funny but my humor seems to have been overlooked for an excuse to jump the "community." I didn't intend for insult/argument. I'll keep my jokes to myself from now on.

Sorry, but high-res stuff, in my opinion, throws the Beta feel out of the window. Im not saying to make it look like the early American streetwar maps. What Im saying is, a balance has to be achieved. The perfect example of this balance, to me, are the E3 2002 maps. e3_strider, for example. Besides, just running them on Source 2007 is enough to enhance their detail a lot more from 2002.

Holy shit, I got a reply from ScarT, it's an honor. So as far as the "Nothing that says C17" I couldn't find anything to put in there that would make it obvious. I'm using the map Central17 for the Slumish parts of the city, and as you may know, that map isn't really very detailed. I'm going to try to figure it out. And I want to pull a Black Mesa on this one, so if I can find a more High-Res replacement that mostly retains to the Leak-Theme, I'm going to use it. Don't get me wrong, I still use beta models on some things, but that is because there is no replacement.

I am interested where you got these hacks.

At least thats what I do.

You will see a lot of leak content, don't worry.

so, uhh..11 days til the big anniversary... anything gonna happen/releases/announcements? what a pageking

However some people insists on making use of the composite textures and other low resolution textures when there's perfectly fine alternatives available you just have to look for them and use your imagination. I thought that was a joke but I wasn't entirely sure. I guess that's the classic problem of the internet, conveying the message properly :).

Perhaps slap a logo on the citizens clothes? The view is limited in your screenshot so there's always the option to expand that and show something in the background (the Citadel would be awesome - showing Citizens looting even though the Citadel showed up). Some Combine propaganda on the walls could hint at it as well.

For skyscrapers, I dont see any other option.

I was wandering again through Combine Overwiki and saw this: [url]http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Manhack#Behind_the_scenes[/url] "Early texture files depict the Manhack as being orange, with grey flaps. Another one is very similar but bears more yellow. A third one shows it as being completely yellow." Someone who has access to the leak files could be nice taking a photo at them, or even if are compatible, using them on the model?

Also, in the TnB pack I saw this [t]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/baldrybaldry/Donation%20Models/Male87.jpg[/t] could be used to make a decent Ivan the Space Biker remake. [editline]19th September 2013[/editline] I also have no idea how to download the model pack anyway.

Didn't I hear they discontinued the donator models as they were in exchange for a customization system involving bodygroups?
