It's done!

Hello, is it possible to delete an old account? I would like to get my old account Mrpo deleted if possible since i already have access to this one.

Thanks!

This is absolutely amazing and useful! Have you considered creating a page in Mod DB for this and Half-Life updated? I'm sure it would spread quickly there and most people would be very grateful.

Wow! Amazing work as always! I believe thats all of the WON features restablished.

This video here has some interesting things if you want to check it out:EDIT:
While watching the video i shared i realized that the beam from the retail egon isn't properly aligned with the gun's barrel. I've took some screenshots from the video so you can understand what i mean (i know "alligned" is mispelled, sorry about that i'm dumb...).

Hey everyone! Thanks for passing by and share yours experiences! I enjoy reading them a lot! I also want to say that i admire all of your work and that everyone here is truly an inspiration for me and that is the reason i kept modding for Half-Life and coming back to this site to this day.

To 23-Down who asked if i had some of the source maps from my older mods, i'm so sorry but unfortunately i couldn't recover any of them since i deleted all my old files. Also, thank you for being such a nice person to me when i was taking my first steps with Half-Life mods i really appreciate that!

I'm going to add some other mods that never were to my list!

Uncommon Courage

I started to work on this one since the creator helped me with some problems i had with some models and because i saw a lot of potential on it. It didn't had a developed story and it was my first time working on a project with someone else so i was very enthusiastic about it. I made a few maps and modified a bunch of stuff to give the mod more personality but it never went too far. I decided to leave because i felt that i was doing all the work and i wasn't recieving enough help from the creator so i contacted him and gave everything i was working on so he could continue. I think i shouldn't have joined that project in the first place but as i said earlier i saw potential. I remember that the creator had some serious issues in real life and i hope he is doing fine.

Foxtrot Uniform

Just an idea, i was thinking of making this an oppossing force mod since i never worked with that game before. The story was about that guy called Tower (the one we see in the intro and as a multiplayer character) but it went as far as that. Nothing was ever developed for this project but i think it was an interesting idea for an oppossing force since i never played an oppossing force mod with a black character as protagonist.

BONUS!
While i was making some cleanup i found a paper with some of the names for the chapters of Last-Shift. It looks pretty bad and some parts are written in spanish that is my native language but i thought it would be some interesting stuff to share, who knows maybe someone else makes use of some of those names!

Ever since i started making maps for Half-Life my biggest dream was to make a big mod that people would enjoy and remember, i was very inspired by many great mods (Visitors, Residual Life, Azure Sheep, Point of View...) and my intentions always were to make something with the same caliber. This lead me to develop some ambitious projects that were full of interesting ideas that i was very excited to try out but i never were capable to do so since my lack of experience in some aspects of modding and the lack of a team to back me up with such ambitious ideas.
Doing some research i could recover some of those projects and i'm going to detail some of the aspects of them and why they ended up being abandoned.

HARD

This mod was supposed to be a "remake" of a mod with the same name (https://www.runthinkshootlive.com/posts/hard/) wich was pretty bad and unnecessarily difficult. The story in the original was different and i changed it to be more "mature" and "canonical" but it was pretty generic overall, basically you were an FBI agent that was sent to the Black Mesa Research Facility to check some stuff but end up trapped during the resonance cascade incident. I don't really know why i wanted to make a remake of that particular mod and i why i was so obssessed with it, i remember that i spent hours watching gameplay videos of that mod just to know how i would make the maps. I actually did some decent stuff and mapping with this mod and learned a lot of things with it but in the end i realized that it was worthless to put such effort in a "remake" for such a bad mod and this is why i left the project and moved on. Unfortunately i couldn't recover maps or screenshots of how it looked like but it's empty page it's still there so you can check it out.

Last-Shift

It was suppossed to be a collaborative work within me and another argentinian modder. The story was pretty generic too but this time you were a Black Mesa security guard instead of FBI. I originally gave this mod with all the source files and such to this fellow modder i knew so he could make his own mod with it because i had some troubles in my life and i was distancing myself from modding. He did some great stuff with the things i gave to him and actually made a demo wich he shared with me in private, this really inspired me so i decided to began working on it again. The progress was very good and i was satisfied and proud of how things were turning on but all the enthusiasm began to die with the time. The main reason was because i wasn't giving my partner enough participation in the project and i was throwing literally all the work to myself. In the end this exceded me so i decided to cancel the project. This mod actually has some screenshots of the maps on it's main page but i didn't check Wayback Machine so maybe more stuff could be recovered.

Welcome to Black Mesa

My first mod ever! Not very much to say about this one, i was experimenting with mapping and trying different ideas. The story had a random scientist as protagonist, it was set in a pre-disaster Black Mesa and had a focus in exploration of the facility. I remember that i was very excited with this project since i was getting a lot of attention and encouragement from the community. Truly a nice and interesting experience with a lot of learning. I never took this mod so seriously, i took it like a phase and transitory thing that i used to boost my abilities and as a first touch with the community. The mod's page along with all the screenshots disappeared a long time ago but i've managed to use Wayback Machine to recover an archived page with some screenshots. Seeing this nowadays amazes me a lot and to be honest i think it wasn't a bad start at all. Lastly, i want to remark that this is the first time i got introduced to J.A.C.K wich is the mapping tool i use to this day!

I have some other stuff that i want to share but in the meantime how about you guys? Do you have any abandoned projects you would like to share? This isn't only Half-Life it can be any other game you want! I would be very excited to read your stories!

Wow, good work! I was just checking your explanation of the issue and when i updated the page the fix was already there. Compiled my SDK with the fixes made for the crowbar and the prediction sync issue of the weapons and it worked just fine.

I know i'm late but i've made a video showing the issue:I'm currently working on a Half-Life project and i would like to ask if its ok if i get the fixed code for that issue and compile it with my SDK. I also want to congrats you guys for this fantastic work, it's nice to see that after all these years people is still giving this game the love it deserves.

Just as an aside, the crowbar fix is in SOHL - it's just 1 new line to add: https://github.com/LogicAndTrick/halflife-updated/blob/spirit/spirit-1.0/dlls/crowbar.cpp#L268

Nice! Thank you! I should try it out.

Amazing! Happy new year to everyone (better late than never)! The animations and the sequences are really good and it looks like something Valve or Gearbox woul've made. It would be really cool to see those animations on LD models.

This is really interesting stuff! Does this fix the fast crowbar gib bug and the double shot bug from the glock's secondary fire?

Done! I used shear to make that part and it went pretty well. After all this is something that is intended to be used as an entity so there shouldn't be any problems. Thanks for the tips and explaination!

I'm currently making recreations of most of Half-Life's prefabs and i was working with the vehicles when i stumbled across my worst nightmare: THE TANK MODEL. To be honest most of Half-Life's geometry is pretty messed up but i'm trying to fix that. The thing is that i'm having trouble making the "turret" area of the tank (i recreated a lot of prefabs but this has to be the most complicated to recreate since the geometry is pretty weird and i can't get good results without getting invalid solids) so i'm recurring to the most advanced and professional mappers out there to aid me with this issue. I'm gonna leave the file with the prefab in it so you can check it out.

DOWNLOAD

TWHL

It's a community dedicated mostly to Half-Life modding but they also tend to mod other Valve games (Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead...). This community is full of talented and nice people that is always willing to give a hand to those who need it, they are really passionate for the work they do and show a lot of love for the games they like. I myself highly recommend to join this community if you are looking for help and useful tips so you can start modding yourself!

Team Fortress 2

I actually still have Mrpo's corridor and dormitories maps, but not the wad they need to run. (I think this was a combination of textures from Blue-Shift and Opposing Force)

Really? I remember those maps! Mrpo was my old account! Do you mind if i have a download of those? I would really appreciate that.

As the title says, what's the difference whitin the both?

I fixed the problem by using this tool here.

It has a palette editor that makes it even easier since you only have to change the colour from there without having to extract any files.

Thanks for the help!

It generates the "gfx.wad" but doesn't set the background of the texts transparent. Any ideas on how to fix?

How do i change the color of the letters that are in the "fonts.wad"?

Wow! Thanks for the info! I've been using J.A.C.K for a long time and i didn't noticed that it had that function.

I'm trying to get my textures alligned properly when they are inclined, like in this tutorial (https://twhl.info/wiki/page/Tutorial%3A_Skewing_textures_in_Hammer) but the method shown there is a bit complicated to follow, is there any other way to accomplish this?

Oh, i thought that scientists used talkmonster as a base for all their actions.

Done, edited the model and got rid of the unnecessary files. Thanks for the help everybody!

Ok, i don't want to mess the original code because i'm pretty new at modifying half life's source code but just to make sure, does it need go at the end of the function?

Put breakpoints in the CTalkMonster::FollowerUse method and see what it's doing, if anything.

I looked everywhere but i don't find that specific part.

I noted that he doesn't react to enemies, i put some soldiers in the map and he doesn't seem to be afraid of them.

I'm adding the cleansuit scientist from opposing force to a mod (i'm giving a hand to someone) but he won't follow when i tell him to do so, however, he acts like a normal scientist if i don't do that.

Here's the code:
https://github.com/CaboFiambre73/Code-fixes-and-help/blob/master/cleansuit_scientist.cpp

As the titles says, is there any way to get rid of these?

Uncommon Courage:

I decided to help the author mainly because i saw potential in it, wasn't something very serious but it helped me to get experience in mod making.

Premise:
I don't really remember what the mod was about i think it was something related to a soldier or a security guard.

Progress:
I made quite a lot of progress with this mod, i edited the main menu to fit the mod's style, made some maps, added some sounds, models and even added some NPCs.

What happened?:
I don't remember very well but at some point i decided to stop working on it, the thing i remember very well is that the author was very depressive and had suicidal tendences but i think he is better now because i saw some posts from him in Moddb.

HARD:

A mod that i literally started out of boredom, it was supposed to be a "remake" of this mod from the same name (https://www.runthinkshootlive.com/posts/hard/).

Premise:
You were an FBI agent that was sent to Black Mesa to check a communication issue with the facility but soon get trapped into the resonance cascade incident.

Progress:
Same as the first mod, added sounds, models, textures, etcetera...

What happened?:
I simply lost interest in continuing with it.

Last-Shift:

This was supposed to be my first serious mod. From my side is dead but it isn't all lost with it because i gave the files to a modder i trust in Moddb so you might hear from this mod in a future.

Premise:
You were an anonymous security guard that was supposed to be guarding the arrival of some materials to one of the various laboratories from Black Mesa but you get teleported to xen during the resonance cascade and then teleported again to the facility but to an unknown location, your objective is to escape.

Progress:
I made a lot of progress with this one, i had a lot of planned maps, story elements, chapters, references, etcetera but unfortunately everything was left behind since i stopped working in it.

What happened?:
The lack of help (i was working on this mod alone), real life stuff, and the size of the project itself (it was supposed to be a BIG mod) made me give up and abandon the mod.

It happened the same to me when i was making my mod, i think is a steam glitch or something. I'm gonna suggest a simple solution, just turn your icon upside down, the game will do the same when you load it and the icon should look fine.EDIT: Jesus, i just realised this thread is from two months ago, maybe this was unnecessary.

Can someone with some modelling experience make a low definition version of the helmet and kevlar vest from blue shift?

Those are really nice!

Hey there, so i'm learning modding for source because i think it's more user friendly than goldsrc, makes mapping easier and also because of the realism that gives. I was thinking of using black mesa as a base to make my mod mostly because takes place there but i don't know if this is convenient, the other option is start from zero using half life 2 as a base, modify/add some things and put some textures. Wich option is the best?

This is the mod i was talking about:

http://www.half-lifecreations.com/forums/index.php?topic=2215.0

It combines software mode with opengl!

Thanks! I didn't know that texture existed!

I'm going to recycle this post, is there a way to use software render in opengl mode? I remember someone doing this, he had opengl but the render ingame was software. I like the look that offers, opengl has everything blurred and looks bad in my opinion.

Does exist a tool that makes skyboxes for Half Life? I want them without the cliffs.

I began mapping for my mod. The coding stuff tired me.

That would very usefull!. Does it work as an standalone mod?

I was thinking the same but then i realised about the next:

• I don't own a copy of op4 on steam.
• The hud color is green and i want it to be blue (like in bshift) but that would requiere an sdk in order to change but since op4 doesn't have one that wouldn't be possible.
• The flashlight has the same issue from the hud.

I know using oppossing force is the easiest way to deal with the npcs issue but it's not an option for me.

I want to add the voltigore as an enemy to my mod for variety and because it's my favourite enemy from op4 but i don't have a convincing code for it. I've got one from a guy called Demiurge, i think it was from a russian site, and tried to edit it a little bit but the results are, as i expected, very mediocre.Does someone have a code for this that i can use? That would really come in handy.

Sorry for reviving this thread but i don't want to spam the forum with my posts. I've recently added otis (fat security guard from op4) to my mod, he behaves the same as barney but for some reason he won't say and do anything if the player attacks/kills a scientist or a fellow security guard. Why does this happen?

Done!
What i'm going to say does nothing to do with the topic of the post but can someone tell me why do sparks appear over npcs heads?

I want to make the black ops a different faction from the hgrunts just like in op4 with male and female assassins being allies and attacking the grunts but my problem is that the assassins attack each other is if they were enemies not allies. Sorry for my post, is a bit confusing

So i've added a new class to the game in order to make the assassins a different type from the hgrunts because i want to add the black ops from op4 but when i test it on game the assassins attack each other. Maybe i'm missing something, i don't know much about this, it's my first time using the hl1 sdk, can someone give me a hand?

Got it! Many thanks!

I've noticed that hgrunts have different voice pitches for most sentences but not for the pain and death sounds. So i want to add this just to give consistency. I know that it's possible when transforming this sounds into sentences but i'm stuck at this point.

I got it! Many thanks! I've missed that one

You mean skill.cfg?

So i'm trying to add a zombie barney into my mod but i'm having an issue with this because i'm having the next error: " 'zombiebarneyHealth' is not a member of 'skilldata_t' ", i find this really strange because i've alreday added the skill health into "game.cpp" and "gamerules.cpp" so this error shouldn't appear.
Can someone give me a hand with this?

It worked very well! Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Hello, can someone give me a hand with this? I want to restore the "moving camera" effect that was present in the WON version of Half-Life, i saw many mods doing this. If you don't know what i'm talking about watch this video (link text), you will notice the camera slightly moving when the player does, that is what i want to re-implement.

I tried reinstalling several times but the problem persists
