Neither are really important to me... at all. But I guess option B. They just aren't that significant. How exactly did you come up with these two options? They don't seem at all related.

haha wut?? these seem to be very random. B would be a nifty touch

I would also say B, but couldn't A easily be done by moving the models into valve/models and renaming if necessary?

grr TJB you just stuffed up my edit lol

I was saying did Jeff mean actual original HL maps or HL-esque maps like black mesa and desert theme maps?

I think it would be pretty pointless spending time making models and weapons just to place them back into original HL maps. You won't get much recognition and there won't be much self-reward at the end of it all. HL-esque maps would be better, and original maps would be best if you're good and have a good idea also. Well thats just my opinion

I found a way to make the loadfile screen say the chapter names, but it involves using the original HL mapnames/original mapnames with suffixes (c1a0 and c1a0_forexamplethis, respecivley) So it would be a choice between original mapnames, really long, confusing mapnames, or being able to use new weapons in the original maps.
It's fun to fire a minigun at the Anomalus Materials team, for example, but it'd be nice to have chapter names instead of mapnames on the load screen.

Don't bother, man. It'd be way way too much hassle just for a few silly visible map file names. It's not like you spend any time staring at the load game menu anyhow.

I like weapons that are brand new, not modified weapons from the existing bunch.

Barnacle gun is just plain cool, for example.

uh depending on what your making. why would we be able to replay the original hl with new weapons and models, or have the same chapters but with different names? thats pretty pointless, why don't you just make you'r own mod.

I apologize in advance if I miss understood you.

I'm talking about a HL mod with new weapons and maps/chapter names ect, but if the game is to show the names of the chapters in the load menu, it would have to replace the original HL maps, as they'd share names.
(Or have names like c1a0_a4, ect.)
