HL - Random things u may not have known Created 19 years ago2005-04-05 16:52:24 UTC by Archie

Post things about HL1 that people may not have known.
I'll start.

1. Gordon Freeman has a ponytail

2. Gman has only one lung (notice how he talks in short breaths)

3. From the maps c0a0d to c0a0e, the orientation of the BSP changes 90? left.
Throughout the game, layout is done without considering previous maps, so if you were to put the game into a huge BSP file, lots of sections would overlap

Gman's briefcase has someting in it... change the rendermode of the .mdl to check it out.

I must check that out, I bet it's something gay

Umm

Gordon can save scientists from running into mines or falling into xen and exploding due to bugs if you do it right!

I bet the Gman has a bunch of sex toys in his breifcase

gmans briefcase has nothingin it....are you talking about hl1 or 2?

HL1.

He has a picture of him.

Hmmm, i dont have any...

The Gman is actually Dr Breen in disguise

Note the facial hair has grown old and turned white.

He has also gained a couple of extra pounds

Heh he woops

Strange that the briefcase actually has somethin inside, but theres no sequence, where the Gman opens it...
Wierd

Whoops, spelled weird wrong...

The briefcase had like a portrait of himself, a weapon (a pistol, I think), and maybe some laptop or electronic screen...

There's loads of models and sounds in the PAK that was never used.
For example, the chumtoad or that bat-thingy (can't remember name). I think they both exist in PoV.

The HD G-Man has nothing in his briefcase.

Cus whoever made it got lazy.

I still cant think of anything!

The Gman made love to Freeman while he was frozen.

I believe he does open his breifcase somewhere... Hmm..

(Bratty gets to research)

i never saw him do that

List of models that I think are unused with filename (without .mdl) and description:

archer: Some kind of Xen fish?
breather: Could've been in HL but I don't recall it being there...looks like another Xen thing-a-ma-bobber.
chumtoad: Probably something Valve worked on but put away...it was in Poke646 and maybe a usuable weapon in Point of View.
construction: According to the skin names, it seems to be an alternate Barney or new character.
crystal: I don't recall this being anywhere...
dead_osprey: I've never seen a beat-up Osprey flying in HL.
doctor: I believe this was the old Gordon Freeman, but attempts to open it lead to a crash, for some odd reason.
filecabinet: When did they need FILE CABINETS as MODELS?
floater: Another Xen sea/floating creature?
friendly: Not really friendly...probably designed for a monster. Interesting how if you look at the skin face.bmp, you can see "TED" on it, and how there's a vomit animation. Looks like some Doom3 monster to me...
gasbag: Apparently not human. The skin even says "xeno".
glassgibdirty: When did they even have a dirty glass texture?
hassault: Like the one in Sven-Coop, it's one of those grunts with a giant spin-up Chain Gun or whatever they're called.

That's only a few of them...I'll post more later.

THe file cabinet is a model for that sequence in the beginning of HL where the scientist gets killed by a head crap. The file cabinet falls over on top of it.

THe dead osprey didnt fly either, it just sat crashed on the ground.

I dont think your looking at the right HL folder. You have very strange models...

1. Yeah, I realize it. I checked the anims and it had a headcrabbed animation that tilts after a while.
2. Well, I didn't pay TOO much attention to the game, so don't remember it there.
3. I am. It's just that I accidentally mistook the glassgibdirty as a non-custom model.

I believe the crystal.mdl was the xen specimen that appears in the test chamber at the beginning of HL and constuction.mdl i think was used in the Redemption mod that came with CS retail. It was used as the employee in charge of the armoury.

I'm talking about the original HL, not any custom mods.

i just now realized that dr vance has a fake leg. i didnt notice it the 1st time i played.

OMGOMGOMGHALFLIFESECRET!!!1

Gman is a homosexual and has gay sex with Breen!

ha! i knew it! valves dirty sercrets exposed!

I wouldn't go sofar as to call them lazy pigs as they are to get their game out on time ;o

You see Gus the construction worker, um, working, in a mod. Might be OpFor, maybe BS.

So the Gman is Dr Breen. Now it makes sense

The guy in the forklift at the beginning of the trainride intro is construction afaik!

G-man does open his case!!!

I can't remember which mod it's in but it is an official one (opp4, blueshift)

But you find a big muthafukka warhead, then do something and end up in a room with a window looking through at the bomb.
Then you look away and look back and G-man is there with briefcase open, tampering with the bomb!

the guy in the beginning of the tram ride is called forklift.mdl. construction was never used I think. All the odd alien models minus chumtoad are in the endgame sequence I think.

It's in CS. I think it's called Redemption if I remember correctly and I kinda recall him opening it in the first sequence.

I think the guy in the forklift is a tubby guy with a white shirt?

I remember what The Hunter is saying, too, I believe that's from BS. I remember it being guarded by grunts, at least, so it musta been.

That forklift driver is a very poor model by the way.

No, I don't think the case is open then.

/me runs Op4 to check it out

And in his briefcase there's a handgun (automatic) an ID card (not a picture of himself) and some papers, probably mission specs or briefing or the contract he gave Gordon to sign. It could be anything!

Did you know:

You can have the HL: Uplink demo intregrate into the original full game?

Really? How?

Sounds cool.

Koolio.

Hey did you guys know, that scientist can now teleport atoms.
Soon, enough, they'll be teleport human beings as a whole.

This does'nt really have much to do with this thread, but it's an interesting fact.

There ya have it:

And the briefcase texture (it isn't an ID card, I was wrong, it's a computer and really a picture of GMan)

And yes, the uplink demo can be installed as a mod to the full game. And it's areally a good one, since VALVe put more effort into making a demo that'll sell the game it's worth playing it.

PS: Hey, Muzzle, I didn't knew you were Tiberian Sun player.

Kingpin.mdl is one nasty fucker which was never used.

One day, someone willing enough will code it to attack!

Strange that the briefcase actually has somethin inside, but theres no sequence, where the Gman opens it...

in HLps2 there is ;D

You see Gus the construction worker, um, working, in a mod. Might be OpFor, maybe BS.

Asheep if I recall.

The construction worker is a tubby lardman with barney's armour vest on but only at his back. The rest of him is made up of green overalls, a yellow helmet and an octagonal shaped face

I think it was an official mod, Rabid.

There were a few mechanic models in the mod.. ooh whats it called.. umm...

They replaced scientists and could follow you and open doors and such..
Can't remember which mod it was.. I downloaded it though. T'wasnt official
