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

[QUOTE=Sergeant Stacker;46456950][img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/WRH5Pko.jpg[/img_thumb] Alright, is this better than the morbidly obese roof? Oh, clearly I'm not using enough S.T.A.L.K.E.R props.[/QUOTE] Once again, why the bright tower lights?

[QUOTE=Thevaultkid;46459145]I don't have the chatlog, maybe Nullen does. That's how I received it. Again, I'd rather not start arguments, believe it or not.[/QUOTE] We tried not to remember the downfall of Insolence, which is why we didn't post blaring logs of your shitposting. If you truly want to stop 'starting arguements' then you should stop all the passive-aggressive comments in the thread. I didn't expect to have to tell you this but its clear that us trying to be passive to you isn't helping at all because you seem to get the sense we want you to keep messaging us. Here if you refuse to understand my words why not try yours. [QUOTE] But seriously, sitting here and taking potshots at [anyone] isn't doing [anyone] any favors[/QUOTE]

Lektor's d1_under download takes me to a page full of gibberish

[QUOTE=9999999;46460551]Lektor's d1_under download takes me to a page full of gibberish[/QUOTE] You can rmb on the arrow thing and save the archive, but anyways here it is: [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/tif08e706jknb4y/d1_under.7z?dl=0[/url]

[QUOTE=Thevaultkid;46458967]Sorry, are you going to fling your own shit at me for honest mistakes I made under the context of trying to help, or are you going to stop holding it against me and work on making something more awesome than your wildest dreams? Trying to rally a bunch of people against me doesn't get you anywhere, at best you'll get me shunned then I'll continue to work under a different flag, so if that's a victory for you, then go for it. And [I]I am sorry[/I], I don't know how many times I have to say that. I hired a dude who didn't understand the chain of command who tried to fire you after he saw one of your maps from 2011, it's still my fault, I know, but that's a mistake made out of me wanting to help you guys. I shouldn't have been put in power, I know that, and I'm going to take full responsibility for my killing of Insolence. It's better to face the music then pretend like you don't know what's going on, because I know exactly what's going on, and I know it's my fault. If you really want to throw a bunch of insults spawned from different beliefs at me, then cool, I try to give this place and it's few inhabitants what they'd like, and if that means using a bunch of Not-HL2-at-all props, then so be it, I'm not going to completely cater to a few people who want their HL2Leak to stay as pure as humanly possible. I also don't want this thread to turn into an arena for flame-wars, I'd rather have it closed then it be turned to that deplorable shit, so if you really wanna retaliate towards me with your best no-lifer joke after I post this, that's your business. Yes, I don't have a life, I've known that, and I'm fully aware preferring mapping for a 10 year old game rather then going out and having fun with friends is the wrong logic to use, and I wish I didn't use it, but I do. That glasses thing referenced how I had to buy glasses because I was looking at a screen, mapping, for 14-15 hours a day, not looking at your maps, I actually quite like your maps. But seriously, sitting here and taking potshots at me isn't doing anyone any favors, and having a prominent figure of the only community I'm relevant in making fun of me isn't exactly great. Honestly, you could just call me a hypocrite and void all this, it doesn't matter. Just consider it. Thanks.[/QUOTE] Im sorry buddy but... everyone has noticed by now youre continuously trying to get attention. And it seems you got it. Congratulations. Can we move on now please?

You guys if you could suggest some improvements for it?

I sloppily hacked c17_01, 03, and 04 together a while back, if any of you actually want the .vmf of it for some strange reason then just let me know.

Also, I just realized how tall the penultimate and final Citadel is. The old ones' tops can be seen on ground level while the last two pierces the sky.

[QUOTE=PikaCommando;46469653] Also, I just realized how tall the penultimate and final Citadel is. The old ones' tops can be seen on ground level while the last two pierces the sky.[/QUOTE] That's mostly because the retail Citadel has its texture fading transparent at the top, creating the illusion. While I'd say it is the tallest version anyway, the round 'mechanical' one isn't far behind. I actually always have hard time picking one version over another. I guess my favourites are the retail and the round ones I just mentioned.

[QUOTE=PikaCommando;46469653]Any idea what happened to 02? [/QUOTE] 02 simply isn't in the mappack. There aren't any known traces of it either, so it's probably lost forever.

There are also some strange... things (Breencasts?) on several e3_terminal versions that share the same asthetic.

Spot the similarities!

But why? Is this merely an evolution of designs, or something else entirely?

[QUOTE=Cvoxalury;46470644]You mean those Lenin-casts?[/QUOTE] Precisely. I once tried, with brush mechanisms, to make some of the "plates" rotate and reconfigurate themselves. Needless to say I failed miserably. However, it would be cool to watch the Tiles Citadel reconfigurate as the game progresses.

-Did someone already post this snip?-

[QUOTE=Mike16112;46474179]-Did someone already post this snip?-[/QUOTE] Yeah. I wonder why CO states that the binoculars are likely Combine technology. Nothing actually points out to it, apart from the Combine using their own binoculars in general. Oh well, must be that CO's habit of throwing in random conclusions. [editline]13th November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=95Navigator;46471337] However, it would be cool to watch the Tiles Citadel reconfigurate as the game progresses.[/QUOTE] Yeah I had the same thoughts. The Citadel could 'unfold' from a more compact state and/or encircle itself with huge circular walls (visible on the concept). The latter could be a nice thing to show during the C-130 flight.

In the time you took to write that post, you could have made the edit already. I will say that most of the HL2 beta articles on the wiki were written by one person because the HL2 beta community has never been forthcoming with found information over the many years due to secrecy among competing groups. Luckily, this mistake was not repeated with the HL1 alpha, hence why so it's been much more thoroughly documented in only a fraction of the time.

[QUOTE=Sally;46477094]Would that be as to why there are refurbished levels presented instead of the leak ones?[/QUOTE] Plus the weapon shots and like that. Why do we need a barely visible (dark blue on white background, fo example) shot of MI's OICW?..

[QUOTE=Sally;46477094]Would that be as to why there are refurbished levels presented instead of the leak ones?[/QUOTE]Screenshots containing fan-altered assets are denoted with the [url=http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Category:Images_with_fan-made_modifications]fan-made modifications[/url] tag and category. There has been an effort to substitute as many fan-modified screenshots with screenshots of unaltered leak depictions, only retaining fan-modified shots if the subject matter is non-replaceable (i.e. MI's recreation model of the leak Houndeye). However, there are [url=http://combineoverwiki.net/index.php?title=Category:Half-Life_2_leak_screenshots]hundreds of screenshots[/url] to sort through, and it's hard to tell what has been modified. There's also the matter of what constitutes as "refurbished". Does converting broken models to the working leak format and fixing entities in a map to get to it compile make it non-authentic? It's a large gray area, as is the entire leak. Nonetheless, if you spot any altered fan-made modifications in any leak screenshots, you can always add the [url=http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Template:Fanmodified]{{Fanmodified}}[/url] tag to clearly mark it for further review.
