I was only really checking out the entities. The textures were 99% fine, except one which didn't exist. (the origin)
Upon decompiling t0a0, I got a lot of invalid brushes etc, but that's probably just the decompiler.
?The holographic assistant monster in the first room (Gina) is referred to as "Intromona". I originally thought it was a character called Mona, but "Intromona" could mean "Intro Monster A". Revealing there was perhaps another intro monster?
?Missing textures: The origin brush on a rotating door read as... e1u1origin - perhaps the hazard course was made when they were using older wads, like in the beta... Could e1u1 be the name of the old training room? I saw a pic of it somewhere... But it's a generic origin brush, so I dunno.
That's all i've tried so far. I don't plan on uploading the decompiled files since I forsee copyright issues. Instead, use

P.S. I'm not gonna even try and compile it...

Nothing... in particular : . Jeez I suck at suspense...
I am in need of some reference pics (preferably hi-quality) for a little idea I had...
You know the ones, the models.
Thanks

Agreed. The HIT crowd do seem pretty interested in beta stuff from what i've seen (forums)
Really? WOW! Registering!
EDIT: My registration e-mail is taking it's time to come

Theres some interesting beta stuff there. Search Half-life beta
Might try it. Does it have to involve walking down it, or could it be a camera flythrough or something?
Maybe it's the package they sent to games magazines to review?
EDIT: I presume this is it? http://www.amazon.com/Sierra-70977-Half-Life-Initial-Encounter/dp/B000042OKY

I'm sure they'd release it if people were prepared to pay. It would be extra profit at no expense to them 
Whats XHTML again?
Why couldn't valve make it in BASIC! 
EDIT: Muzzle, the one you're hosting is the source-only one, right?

Did you modify the code at all?
Or perhaps its just a console problem? I'm not so familiar with the source console, is there a draw_hud command or anything?

The second screenshot does look pretty amazing. But it could be a scan of a box or some sorta photo shop job to make it look like that.
Hey, I know!
We should start a petition to get VALVe to release the beta on steam!
I'm sure many Half-life enthusiasts would love to see the previous version of the fanstastic game we know well and love today.
Though perhaps they hated it so much they destroyed every last copy.
Which would be a real shame.

Isn't it illegal to distribute now or something?
The console doesn't work 
Anyone got it to work?
Anyone got it to work?Anyone hear the different holo speach in the hazard course?
She goes on about how you won't really be using the long-jump, since it uses a lot of power. : Is is supposed to have it's own power icon or something? It didn't take any suit power away for me

Just before barney lets you in to c1a0, the little balcony things at the sidesare different. The textures were pretty dodgy in c0a0 for me...
Oh yeah - did anyone elses view models turn into holograms?

I wasn't saying I was definately gonna do it, just wondered what everyone thought. You're right though, but Splatmod is just something I've working on over time, adding stuff to it when I get a chance. The time machine was part of that, btw.
It lacked the menu sound for me :

Does the present half-life have "Profiles?" Im not really sure.

Woah! Check out the retro batterys! And the longjump module!
Also, look at this from the titles.txt - inside pak file.

Half-life Beta Recreation
This is the 3rd time I've re-written this, due to the forum not registering my thread
I've cut it down in size:
How about a mod team recreates the half-life 1 beta. I am already working on scientist skins, and there are plenty reference pics.
It would be interesting, and since valve doesnt seem to have any plans to release it, this is probably gonna be the closest we'll ever get to playing it.
I took a load of comparison screenshots about purple lighting, but they were all lost.
Whaddya think?

Apparently it was an old demo version of Half-life, does anyone have any info on it,
I mean - was it beta models etc? if so then can I please get a download?!

cough cough err... All hail Muzzle!Thought I'd do another post so it'll bump to the top, hence letting everyone know that it is now in minimod format!
I tried a spirit map on normal half-life once, it didnt crash or anything, just didnt work right in some places. Thanks for the comments!
Elon - it's not a puzzle it's a bug
Will upload minimod version tomorrow. It should work in vanilla half-life anyway, but it's just cos future versions of this will use spirit.

I made this today, it's a map where you can go into a time machine (unsurprisingly) and choose a time period. There is then an interesting sequence with flashing lights and lasers before the door opens and you are dumped at prehistoric times or the future.
Right now, its kinda buggy, since if you press both destination buttons at the same time it all goes haywire.
To prevent the bug, make sure you press the last pressed button again before pressing the next.
Check it out, you'll get the hang of it
Here's the link:
http://www.twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=4534
P.S - it requires Spirit. Check the link above for more info.
EDIT: Oops, posted in wrong section, sorry Could it be moved? Thanks No prob. - Ant

Increase the speed perhaps?
I haven't seen any of those pop-up menus, is it like on multiplayer when it shows the motd? Or on counterstrike, with that speech menu thingy?
Yeah, but doesnt the video play before the menu appears? You'd never get to the menu if it was looping infinitely
hmm... there must be something somewhere within the source code that makes it do that. No idea where to look though
I played half-life earlier (steam) and the music went across two levels fine.
One thing I noticed that was strange was that if I played Steam Half-life with a music CD it played the cd instead of the mp3's
I guess it just has more priority somehow, but also maybe its the same as mods, since you don't have to include all the half-life wads in your mod, since its in the valve folder. But if you did, it would read those over the valve ones.

I just had an idea, would it be possible to use spirit to fire a command to bring up the menu, while somehow disabling the resume game button?
Is there a specific command to bring up the console then hide it? or does only the tilde key hide the console?
It might require some coding, but there could be a way so that when the game starts, it immediately loads the map which fires the command to show the console then hide it. But you'd also need a way to not let the game pause when the menu comes up, otherwise you'd just be presented with the console and not the menu.
Wow biggest sentence ive ever written on a forum

In half-life 2 the main menu was actually a map, so it was animated.
Is it possible to do the same in half-life 1?
Also, is it possible to play music in the menu? I do remember something about that somewhere.

Does that mean they are banned?

Im modifying my mod's menu's res files, and would like to know if anyone has a list of the controls which you can use.
The ones I already know of are:
Button
Radiobutton
Frame
Buildmodedialog
Label.
I know there are others such as textfields, tick boxes etc and really am in need of a slider. I'm currently looking about the multiplayer settings menu etc since it had some interesting controls.
Thanks

I just rewrote my very large thread for the second time, and when I posted it, I got a "You are not logged in!" message. I was.The first time I tried to post it, I got an error too.
Something has to be done. Prehaps username/password verification when your posting it, incase you dont want to be logged out, or prehaps instead of a new page with the message, it appears under the edit window.
Please do something!
Prehaps that evil barney is from the days when Barney was an evil character (see Wikipedia entry)
So if I include the spirit dlls etc in a minimod, I'd be able to do it?
Great! thanks for the fast reply.

In Source, you could fire entities using the console.
Is there a similar command for GoldSrc? Or does anyone know of a way to implement it?
