I'd post mine, but embarrassingly, I'm still using the default OpenSUSE desktop. Ya'll have some cool desktops tho.

I've had only three real projects I wanted to make for Half-Life, one was unfinished but released, one is still being actively(ish) worked on, and one was dead before it even started.

Overturn

I'd type out a whole backstory about this one but the ModDB page basically does all of that for me.

Half-Life: Particle Fusion

I've been working on this since around 2010-ish and do a little bit of stuff for it every now and then since it's literally only me working on it. The only other time someone else works on it is when I ask for some help with programming something I'd like to have. That's about it.

Half-Life: Ghosthunter

This was probably the first mod I wanted to do. I think there's a thread on TWHL about it, but I basically just made some crappy reskins and edited some graphics then it never went any farther than that. (I actually have three different threads apparently.)

A lot of Half-Life's textures are edited photographs, but most of the earliest ones are painted by hand, so maybe working from the original textures might be your best bet?

Oh no, KingDaniel is an Azure Sheep apologist! I can revisit Blue Shift and still find new things to marvel at, I cannot say the same with Azure Sheep. I played it once and thought it was kind of boring and annoying. The featureless corridors leading to set pieces is also pretty hilarious to say the least.

At least Blue Shift is good though.

Pineapple pizza is the shit.

You've got one extra word you don't need there.

Respectfully disagree. They miss the mark completely in my opinion.

About You

Name: Megan Lee B. (which initials spell out an acronym for one sport that I actually enjoy)
Age: Mid-twenties.
Hometown: One of the worst towns in Michigan, Snover (https://975now.com/avoid-these-least-liked-small-towns-in-michigan/).
Relationships: Single.
Occupation: Student as of right now, but COVID-19 has made that harder.
Current goal(s): Finish up school, get a job in the tech industry, and hopefully finish several projects I've been working on (for the past decade).
Politics: Far(ish) Left
Religion: Apathetic Agnostic

Favourite Things

Food: Pizza. Seriously, you can throw almost anything on a pizza and it'll taste great.
Hot drink: Couldn't tell you. I don't even drink the typical hot drinks when they're hot. I guess I'll just say (iced) coffee.
Cold drink: Soda and fruity alcohol-containing drinks. Coke is choice number one for soda, though.
Snacks: Gardettos' Powdered Mustard Pretzels and their Chex Mix competitor (as well as Chex Mix itself).
Movies: Fight Club, John Carpenter movies, B-movie Horror as well as just B-movies in general. I can really only name one movie as a favourite since it's the only one that has literally changed my life for the better in the end.
Videogames: DOOM (all the way up to the expansion for the third game), Burnout series, Killing Floor 1 & 2, Half-Life: Opposing Force & Blue Shift, Ratchet and Clank series, Twisted Metal series, Gauntlet series, Gran Turismo series, there's a lot. I'll just stop here.
Music: Industrial, Electronic, Rock, Alternative, Grunge, etc. I could go on for awhile listing all the subgenres.
Other: I love to collect physical media and big PC game boxes. I also love to share rare music with the world as I feel like I shouldn't hoard it for myself.

Disliked/Hated Things

Food: Remember when I said pizza could have almost anything put on it and taste great? Well that doesn't include you, you dirty pineapple pizza eaters.
Hot drink: Dunno.
Cold drink: Hard liquor. Sorry, not a fan. (Though there is a scale for me where some liquor tastes so damn awful that it rolls back around to tasting good somehow.)
Snacks: I can't think of any snacks off the top of my head that I dislike.
Movies: Blade Runner (Yeah, sorry. Deckard as a character is boring and the movie is pretty to look at but feels ultimately pointless following his character. Would've much preferred watching Roy's character instead.), generic run-of-the-mill comedies and romance movies, bad sequels (or reboots) to movies I already love.
Videogames: DOOM (2016), System Shock 2, games with an excessively long grind or pay2win mechanics. (I actually don't really dislike very many games at all, it's mostly just bad sequels to games I've already loved.)
Music: Modern country, a lot of modern rap and hip hop, repetitive electronic music, and modern pop as well, not sure about anything else.
Other: I hate being depressed and tired all the time.

They were textures that were meant to glow. The last x amount of colors in the palette would be fullbright so even in a dark area, you'd be able to see them. The feature was only partially implemented before being canned. You can see it in it's working state in the leaked alpha but only in software mode.

there are those strange cur_ textures admer found out about

I want to do something for this, but I have no idea if I'll ever finish it.

is this on the quake engine?

One small step forward.

That looks like a scooby doo villain, not gonna lie. The Space Kook, I think.

I get Uplink vibes from that screenshot.

Indeed. It'd be picked up in the world and would increase the maximum health and armor permanently (until you start a new game).

I've always wondered how this could be done if at all in HL. I'd like to have permanent health and armor upgrades scattered around my modification adding up to +100 for both health and armor (making each max out at 200) if you get every single one of them throughout the mod. As for how much each pickup gives the player that's still up in the air, but I'm curious as to how to go about doing something like this; storing it in a save file and all that jazz.

i wanna playtest :sob:

As far as I know you can force it to chop the lightmaps into bigger slices to avoid this, but i'm not 100% positive. I haven't used it in forever.

Bethesda only had one game I'm interested in seeing more of. Rage 2. It feels odd to say that since the first one was such a flop, but this one looks like it'll be what the game was actually supposed to be.

Surface Tension all the way.

Looks wonderfully industrial

I'm going to be contrarian and vote for Anomalous Materials!

I like Residue Processing

are you using the full file path in those entities?

QE

We've Got Hostiles!

Apprehension.

Forget About Freeman.

Inbound.

Questionable Ethics.

Victor, you like the DOOM 3 Mine section way more than you should.

Power Up.

Sadly not.

The speaker entity can reference sentence groups.

It looks distorted because it's not power of 2.

idTech 2 is the Quake engine but it's also Quake 2's engine (but, as Snehk said, it was modified for it).

id Tech 1 is Quake, id Tech 2 is Quake 2, id Tech 3 is Quake 3, id Tech 4 is DOOM 3, and id Tech 5 is RAGE. DOOM's engine (as well as Wolfenstein's engine) used for the first two games was never really given a name since it was only licensed out to a select few companies. Some call them id Tech 1, some call them id Tech 0, and others call them id Tech, but they're really just called by the name of the game that used them. The "id Tech" names only came about simply for the convenience of licensing and making the engines sound less specific to one game.

I liked Doom 3 a lot, couldn't stand 4 at all.

Lawbreakers actually looks pretty good. I'm not much of a fan of Cliffy B, but it actually looks like a pretty fast paced and fun shooter. Definitely looks better than anything modern id has put out in the past few years.

I love you Jaardsi. Never change.

Devolver needed to show more games instead of those skits they were doing... They weren't THAT funny.

Wolfenstein was literally the only interesting thing they showed.

RAGE 2 is a thing? The game flopped.

Reminds me of an old Team Fortress map.

BEVEL reduces clipnodes.

@Archie, whoever that shotgun guy is, I applaud them. It's pretty much a dead ringer for that guy.

Time for a physical exam?

Ah shit, I've completely forgotten about my entry. Better get back to work!

I don't.
