Massive thank-you to Captain Terror for resurrecting this!
It's my entry to the competition "Xen Transport".
Took me ~10-14 days to make while mapping full-time.. -.-
Unzip the file to your half-life directory.
Good luck in the compo for everyone else.. :)
Would have got 5 stars but I got stuck in the wall a few times.
mine is utter S*** compared to this
OMG
nice1.
+ textures
+ layout
+ ambience
+ scripted squences
+ realism
- cant really think of much!
- i couldnt plant the bomb :( take it you do need cs to run it
AWSOME JOB!!!
Nope I ran it fine in HL, just copied the folder "Daubster15" to my Half-Life directoy instead of Cstrike.
I'll try to test it in Hl1.
You DO NOT need cs or any other mod for this map to work, I just made the paths in the .zip wrong!
Cool voice acting.
I think this map shows some nice idea's, I found the time travel nicely done. Care for details (though it misses some polishing-up) and all... nice one.
I think that the gameplay is somewhat sober: it's just pushing buttons and running around. The rooms also looked like an abandoned part of Black Mesa while it's really just 2 days before the cascade. Also, some music during the transport rather than leaving it for the end would've been better, though the music was a nice touch.
Oh, and next time, please don't include your config.cfg... I had to adjust my mouse sensitivity as well as restore the keyboard commands to their default before I could play it as I'm used to.
All in all, nice map, good entry. Could've used a little polishing though. ;)
The tunnel you arrive in is supposed to be abbandoned. Listen to the speach of the scientist...
Anyways - thanks for the comments! :D
Sounds are also great, and the whole minimod clearly shows a lot of work has been put into it, very nice !!
As Captain P said, the map could have been a bit improved. Some areas had strange lighting, and I had to use noclip after the levelchanges: landmark problems, which are always hard to solve :(
I would've liked to see more of Xen, since this looked more like a human transportation system in a human map ;)
To give a proper review, I should prolly play it a few more times, but here goes anyway. Among all the goodies that were my favourites:
+Red screener
+The sounds and when the door closes to the time machine, and you hear that little seqence and the lights pop up--sprites?--, really cool!
+cool that you got the teleport to work with the func_train. whenever i try to spawn inside a train, it doesn't work!
+beautiful sequences throughout and nice, detailed story--with a nice way to account for finding a clear space to return to in the past
+great voice acting
+I loved how the time pod 'materializes' and pretty much the whole time travel sequence.
The only minuses I can think of are:
-I got stuck and had to noclip to exit timepod
-the ending was sort of blah
-should have been more Xen for purposes of the compo
This is definitely a 5 in my opinion, bugs notwithstanding!
Great job!
Xenish part is ugly! Bad texuring and artitecture in it.
Why was there a rail system near the crystal. Not much thought on that part...
Got stuck in the train when the level changed.
The part after the crystal was horrible and block. You probebly had no time for that.
First room is full bright.
Good artitecture and detail over all!
I like the way the train was created but since I'm not sure that wasn't done in timecops so I wont rate it...
You could have made the bomb visable!(Func_wall_toggle)
Good map it has some texturing problems thou. And it's hardly connected to xen!!
I never played timecoops or whatever that mod is called.
And I don't remember a red scanner being in timefall.. :?
So I didn't rip anything..
But the building the ship part was great...it had very much entity work.But I jumped onto the hologram device then the hologram thing got stuck and couldnt ope....nevermind...But you have to think about the posiblities that the player can do crazy things...in map.Like trying to get stuck in the ship or trying to get out of the map...and stuff...And I couldnt understand the splash?

Review:
A great SP mod, excellent work that we have come to expect--and wish we'd see more of--from Daubster.
Please take my comments with a grain of salt, since i don't expect you to update this after all this time, and i'll try to keep the minor nitpicks to a minimum! ;)
+Excellent custom splash, sounds, and text effects!
++Superb cutscenes and special effects(the whole timepod/timetravel sequence part is very impressive!)
+good use of scripting and custom voice acting
+general good mapping as we've come to expect from you.
+great use of ambient sounds
+the "reactor" room(BM past) with the pipes is SO COOL-LOOKING!
+/- sweet lift(BM past) in future black mesa, though it has bugs reseting.
+/- Excellent implementation of the time pod, though it could be textured better.
-ends rather abrupbtly and feels a bit unfinished.. you could base a whole mod off this and it'd be rather interesting!
-couple clipping issues, but nothing you can't manuever with a jump or two.
-some texturing could be better
-scale seems a bit squished to me in most areas, but not horribly so. (past BM seemed much better mapping)
-i was standing on top of the "projetor thingie", perhaps it should be clipped and textured with the black/yellow caution stripes?
Minor Nitpicks:
-Plz delete config.cfg to avoid resetting a users keybinds
Even some room for improvement, i'm going 5 for excellent effects, attention to detail, and fact that this is an excellent example of one of your earlier works. Would love to see a sequel where you get stuck and eventually get back with the timepod!
great work!
*****
I remember leaving it all to the last moment, blitzing through the final maps in a day, which really could have used a lot more work. There was plenty of room for puzzles, etc. - like getting the power running again or something. Maybe even a small stealth section.
I agree with the scale being a bit small in most of the areas. The transport tunnels could've easily been made 2x the size to give it a slightly more epic feel.
And yeah, there's level change issues as well. Misplaced my info_landmarks in some of the maps.
Either way, thanks again for finding this. Brings back memories. ^^
