I see you are one American. I'd like to see more.

Oh yeah, and my Avatar isn't trying to prove anything. I just though it would be relevant from naming myself Joebama. Joe Biden + Barack Obama = Joebama

Why is it that like NO americans anymore even support half-life 1 and it's mods anymore?

I am american and I personally still love older games. Basically everyone I see on this site are from a different country. I'm almost like the only american that appreciates this game. I'd like to hear if americans are actually on this site.

Hahaha, I remember good old Windows 3.1.

My sister had a computer at one time that had 3.1 and had the small floppy disk slot and the original big floppy disk spot. Used to play old floppy disk games. Ah, those were the days.

RealPlayer is shittier than hell. The tracks skip every time. Even when it's fully loaded!

So, do what everyone else has said, get the codec and it should work fine.

I love all of Stanley Kubrick's films they are amazing for their time.

I must see that movie.

I'm still motivated about Ghosthunter. Hell, I'm working on the first level as we speak. I'll upload it when I'm done. I'll then let you guys check it out, then i'll revise it.

The TFC story mode idea sounds like it would be cool, but really hard. I set that aside till I'm done with this mod.

Also, I'm 17. So, i think I'm old enough to do this damned thing.

Is this shindig still going on?

[Cont'd] ry type mod for TFC?

I wonder if I could try doing that...

Like, I only have one half of a door, but I don't have the other half.

Well, the texture i'm talking about has no opposite side.

are you sure?

Because, I'm talking about that one door that has only a half of the texture. I want to know if I can mirror that to the other side.

I was wondering, How can I mirror a texture?

Also, If I wanted a door to make a different sound besides the generic ones they give you in hammer, how could I add a sound for it?

I'm going to go play HL right now... without software mode on

And yes, Software mode makes barney look like a pixelized monster when he's only a few feet away from you.

Demoman and Sniper have to be my favorite characters in TF2.

Wolfenstein 3D is an amazing game.

You guys are saying I'm not ready to start this mod yet, so what do you think I should do before I even think about working on this thing?

I don't mind Steam, It's just that it still isn't as relieable to me as WON was.

Well, who are the mods?

Ah, I guess.

And yes, I did have some mapping done, but I thought it sucked so, I'm restarting that aspect.

But, the thing about RoboG-Man is, How can I remove the briefcase?

Crazy shit?

What the hell?

So, you are saying I should make a couple maps first to see if I can handle this (and convince you?)

Will do, I just really want this idea to become reality.

Half-Life: Ghosthunter!

I've been trying to make Half-Life: Ghosthunter for about 2 months now. I have finally realized I need some help with this, especially that I can't script majorly yet.

About the Modification:

You and a group of other "ghost busting individuals" start your own little ghosthunting business... everything seems to go right for the first two missions you are involved with, until the last one where G-Man calls you up to clear out an abandoned Missile Test facility (Black Mesa before the redevelopment into the test labs). Something goes extremely wrong because the ghosts have overwhelmed your team because they seem to be unusually stronger than the other ones you have battled in the past. The Boss Battle will feature someone pretty darn familiar but just a little different. But, you better except this to be a dang hard boss battle.

New things featured in the mod:

New redone weapons;

Special ghost-hunting pistol (starting weapon)
Special ghost-capturing mechanism (not sure to include this yet. if it is, it will be included as starter weapon also.)
Special ghost-hunting shotgun (gained later in game)
Special pulse rifle can shoot fast or slow (switch between main fire and alternate. gained later in game.)
Special ghost-hunting gauss (gained later in game.)
Special ghost-eradicating weapon (last weapon you get.)

New Aliens;

Mr. Friendly (prepare to get assraped a couple of times while trying to kill this)
Kingpin (Not sure how strong this bastard will be)
Chumtoad (pretty damn weak, will be able to call ghosts though)

Info about gameplay;

It will be the same as Half-Life but with different type weapons. Also will feature redone splash screen and everything for WON version. as for Steam version, if you feel like doing it... be my guest. May have Co-op mode for the people who like to do that kind of stuff.

Sequels;

I really only have one sequel planned. It will be more humorous than this version and may have more features and stuff.

Screenies and Media;

I only have one piece of artwork so far. (I redid the splash screen already too, but It would be a hassle to show you each different part of it.)

LOGO:Pipewrench:(one of the first weapons you get. maybe a modeller or someone can refurbish this model to look more high tech to hurt the ghosts...?)

Black Barney:(need a voice actor to voice for this guy)

RoboG-Man:(G-Man's failed clone attempt)

Haz-mat Scientist [guts ripped out]:(I was thinking, maybe the Ghost-protective suits could be based off of the original haz scientist...?)

Mr. Friendly [Thought I'd leave this bitch out?](Prepare to get assraped by this guy a couple times. :])

Second Client for the Ghosthunting business:(He's the last client before G-Man comes in! ;])

That's all for now, folks!

Places open for people to sign up at;

Coders
Good Mappers
Voice Actors
and a Modeller.

(I don't have a limit for how many people on each task, I just want this idea to come to life!)

[EDIT]: I hope this will please you people now.

Also, this will obviously be in the father engine of Half-Life, GoldSource.

[EDIT!]: This mod's theme color is Purple so lets try to stick to that theme, please?

I've been trying to make some maps in Hammer 3.4

I don't think it works for GoldSource since my maps refuse to load in Half-Life after I make them. Oh well, My maps fail anyways.

Oh yeah, forgot.

You guys have a TGA image file viewer or something? Or do I have to convert the bastards..?

I'll revise this again later on. See you in about 3 hours. This homework is really proving to be quite a challenge!

I already modelled most of the ghosts. Same with the Boss. All I really need is the Main characters to be made.

Also, I don't think we'll need any texture artists. I do need somewhat of a modeller though, For the weapons of course (and the main character models.) Obviously, I will need a lot of coders, since I totally suck at the moment.

and Hell, I might even add more of the unused alien models.

Just give me some gosh darn feedback about the mod and not the freaking description of it.

Because, I heard that you can't use it for HL1. I've heard it's only useable for Source games.

I would like to know.

Also, I've got a suggestion to put your downloads onto. Would MediaFire work at all?

Besides I think I added everything I could possibly need to start recruiting for the mod. the only thing i cannot supply is screenies.

[EDIT]: Aw shit, Forgot about gameplay stuff. Well, the game will feature some new weapons, as in weapons that are specifically engineered to be able to hurt the ghosts. Like, a special pistol that can hurt the ghosts with like some weird type bullets. same with shotgun. There will not be any MP5 or anything though. The Flamethrower type weapon will be in there. Same with the gauss. Almost forgot about the special ghost sniper rifle too!

I don't know if i should put some kind of ghost capturing mechanism in there or not. But, oh well. It will feature a completely redesigned interface for the WON version. Including the splash screen. Anyone who wants to recreate the splash screen for the Steam version, be my guest.

(S)EXCELLENT

W-A-Y-N-E-'S W-O-R-L-D!

How do I get out of software version on the Steam version?

And what about the WON version too?

I did pretty much everything.

I don't really have any media to show. I wish I did though. My mapping fails, you guys would just make fun of me. Anyways, mostly all I got is just some concepts and the storyline.

Wally on the site only goes down to 1.43

I'm tellin' ya. I was bored.

anyways, here's the story:

I was waiting for Chuck Bronson to get on TFC so we could play a good game of TFC. I waited, and waited, and waited, AND WAITED! Nobody came. So, I decided to make a smiley face in the air vent to pass time and do other things and then the people came.

You going to use the High Quality models?

Other than that, How long do you plan this extension will be?

[EDIT]: Because, I absolutely loved Uplink. First Half-Life game I ever played. Great demo, gives you a lot for it.

I go to the Black Mesa forums once in a while too.

[EDIT]: Can we please talk about the mod now?

Is anyone even interested in this mod at all?

http://i49.tinypic.com/10s8bjo.jpg

Hahaha.

Sorry, It's just that I hang out at other forums that don't have a edit button.

[EDIT]:

But, this version will be serious. Like the Half-Life series.

Ghostbusters was humorous though..

Maybe the sequel could be funny like what they did with TFC to TF2

Oh well, I bought steam HL because it has more online users. But, WON2 has most of my friends still there.

Woops, I guess I am a little stupid for not checking that out.

I've gotten a couple of the maps done. I'm thinking about redoing them though, the look kinda ugly in my eyes now.

And it will be in the GoldSource engine.

Also have gotten the splash screen done for the WON version. I'm too lazy to work on one for the Steam version.

I'll post some concept art later.

LOGO:

not sure, i'll check.

I know I can register it.

I don't need to though. I have the Steam version and the Store-bought.

I just prefer the Store-bought and I like WON2 more. Believe me, I still play the Steam version too, for the graphics upgrade. It isn't as pixely as the store-bought one.

I've been trying to make Half-Life: Ghosthunter for about 2 months now. I have finally realized I need some help with this, especially that I can't script majorly yet.

Half-Life Ghosthunter is about you and a group of others being in this ghost-capturing troupe. Things go wrong and such though. You are the only one living at the last mission. Everyone either gets hurt badly and dies after you talk to them, or get eradicated by the paranormal. I've had a good feeling about making this, because I thought it would be a great mod to add to the Half-Life series. Thinking about making this Co-op too.

So, anyone want to help out?

[EDIT]: I'll come up with some more storyline later.

P.S. G-Man will be one of the clients that you talk to. Also will make several appearances in the missions BEFORE he contacts you to help out with his "problem".

Heck, if this mod is really successful, I might even think about making a second one on the source engine and recreate it on the source engine if it isn't too hard to do.
