The Evolution of Half-Life 1. How the beta looked, and how it evolved into Half-Life. - Games

There is now a better quality picture of the stage 1 version of GMAN: [url]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/en/images/c/c3/G-man_first_model.jpg[/url] It's odd that this thread doesn't receive much posts nowadays :( But I will keep this thread alive! This thread is highly informative about the HL1 beta. Awesome.

Whats... the point?

I see dynamic shadows in some of dem' pictures you got there... 1998 Dynamic Shadows... WOW. (never knew that XD)

[QUOTE=Ithae;18444669]Whats... the point?[/QUOTE] Since the GMAN pic in one of the first posts in this thread was quite blurry, so I delivered postal a better pic i guess.

The hell is this thread still alive. FP, you amaze me sometimes.

Why did postal resign?

I'd want to play the entire alpha version once.

[QUOTE=koekje4life;18455664]I'd want to play the entire alpha version once.[/QUOTE] I want too!

what fucking ASSHAT bumped this

[QUOTE=Banana-man;18470021]what fucking ASSHAT bumped this[/QUOTE] Holy shit I was about to bump this!

[QUOTE=postal;1635959] [i]Stage 2:[/i] [IMG]http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/6418/untitledsd1.jpg[/IMG] Once again, just like Barney's stage 2, the eye's are bulging, and the uniform is pretty poor quality. Still, it's an improvement over Stage 1!As far as I can tell, this is when different kinds of scientists were introduced. Notice the red-haired one, who aparently didn't make it into the final game.[/QUOTE] Anyone has the Stage 2 scientist model, or atleast a remake? (I don't want a reskin)

[QUOTE=joosep12345;18527366]Anyone has the Stage 2 scientist model, or atleast a remake? (I don't want a reskin)[/QUOTE] Yeah, we're using the original "stage 2" scientist (God I hate that term) in the Quiver mod.

The Panther Eye looks sort of cute.:buddy:

[QUOTE=haz0r;18579515]Yeah, we're using the original "stage 2" scientist (God I hate that term) in the Quiver mod.[/QUOTE] Oh I know that. Your remake looks pretty cool I gotta admit. Hmmm.... about the scientists having dirty uniforms should be after the Resonance Cascade. I think it should be in your mod that before the resonance cascade there are scientists with clean uniforms, and them having dirty ones after the resonance cascade.

It's not a remake - it's the original model (except the skin).

Oh wow. One of the longest thread's I've actually read. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[QUOTE=haz0r;18579515]Yeah, we're using the original "stage 2" scientist (God I hate that term) in the Quiver mod.[/QUOTE] well i want a downloadable beta scientist remake/original model (not a reskin)

Have fun with that.

[QUOTE=haz0r;18660715]Have fun with that.[/QUOTE] I think you forgot to attach the file if you were gonna do it, or I have a glitch that makes the attachment not appear -_-

There's no attachments on Facepunch.

[QUOTE=joosep12345;18715614]Did you forget to give the link or you were just joking?[/QUOTE] Yes.

That "Unknown Beta Gun" that you have listed was the old Rocket Launcher model, I personally had most of these models, they were is some shitty old version of .mdl, so I had to Hex them to the right version then decompile them as they still wouldnt load in the hlmv. Also I think you forgot Mr.Valve, look it up :) I dont think i have the models anymore, but I could look for them.

[QUOTE=WOO v5;1641837]No, it's just zombified grunts if I'm not mistaken.[/QUOTE] no actually that is a gonome

Here is the rest of some old interviews since he only posted one Marc Laidlaw [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY_Ju814mlw[/media] Kelly Bailey [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x7hlyOpjaM[/media] Jay Stelly [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5ETigmwp_E[/media] Ken Birdwell [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rvRENAT0Cw[/media]

My beta/alpha pack. [url]http://www.moddb.com/members/zelaroth/addons/zelaroth1[/url] Hope you all enjoy

lol. It looks like they mixed all the guys' faces in those interviews to make gordon freeman. Except by hand and eyeballing it and not photoshop compositing like HL2.

Oh wow, this thread is going for almost 4 years. [editline]09:03PM[/editline] Also, the Overwiki says that the "Unknown Beta Gun" is the RPG. Since they use almost identical textures, I agree with them

I still remember this thread back from 2006
