Half-Life: Hostage Situation Created 19 years ago2005-01-08 19:34:01 UTC by Archie

my part has alot of files and such, mostly models, so I'm not sure about the beta testing of my part.. where can I host it.

(btw, it's not close to beta testing, maybe another 1 or 2 weeks)


but once it's ready, it won't need a beta test..

confident words, unbreakable and ones that i beleieve fully. there are many free host sties.. its finding the ones that dont have spyware

www.fileupyours.com
www.angelfire.com
Lots of free hosts, dude. Google for it.

review sent to you hunter.

thanks for the review... the grenades can be thrown far enough to take out the turrets.. easily... plus, rocket launcher there would make it far too easy.

Agrees with the rest of the comments.

em.. yep

what I meant was I couldn't get a grenade up far enough to take out the turrets with out losing at least 50 health

Captain P would get really pissed off at your chapter Hunter,cause it has so many loads of grunts

ROFL!

Captain P would get really pissed off at your chapter Hunter,cause it has so many loads of grunts

The Big Bad Booman says:
As long as they're used good, I have no problem with many grunts.

But I assume they haven't been used very well by that statement of yours, Saco?

yes,it looks like there is no AR grunt and there is so many grunts that you cant even see your way through bullets :

..you are aware that the enemy in this game are grunts, arent you saco?

of course ,but there is so many

try to use some turrets or more puzzles instead

OOoooOOH!

Use my grunts.. it would be cool! I'll even put HSTF on the front of there chest.. what do you think?(Hostage Situation Task Force)

cool,Unbreakable but can you at least look at XA thread as well,cause I cant contact with you anyway on MSN and now you cancelled your P.M!

that'd be awsome unbreakable... but.. make them look.. i dunno.. illegal!??! they're not actually working for a government

my PM's cancelled!? must be full again, sorry 'bout that.. so, yea, illegal.. will do!

Edit: There PM's all deleted!

did you still want the all black uniform???

How do you want them to look?

btw, I think they'd look cool if they all wore the gas-mask, but how would you get them like that?
Example:Also thinking about making there forearm (visible skin) a black material so that no skin is showing,

because it would make them look way more 'illegal' if there identity was kept a secret if you know what I mean.

2nd Edit:
First face edit!

nice, although totally covering there forearms might not look great, it will make them look like there wearing sweatshirts or something. if anything, I would say go for outer forearm pad/armor things.

but the way you have them now is cirtainly good enough

ok, what about a logo then guys?

Keep in mind that I don't have the t model and can't edit colours, so, will the color blue be ok?
maybe just a circle or something.. of course, the circle would be blue, (example)or maybe even this going across there chest:?OOooh, edit, heres a cool one I just found, and may not even need it's colors changed..:[b]I tested a few, and find that leaving it blank looks best, however, came across another problem, his mask, take a look:So heres my solution, since all badguys wear masks, I thought of doing something like HL2, where all the combines where the same, I know a modeller that would be able to decompile this model, (or perhaps even Pepper) and put the one head (gasmask face) on all 4 options.. if you want, I can even tint the blue goggle eyepiece black instead of the blue.

so yea, for those who don't know what I mean, heres a quick edited picture:What do you think?

don't cover there faces then, it looks fine without the ski masks

I slightly edited the grunt's mask.. Better now?

where the same, I know a modeller that would be able to decompile this model, (or perhaps even Pepper) and put the one head (gasmask face) on all 4 options..

why dont you just copy paste the same model to all hgrunt you genious

each human grunt has 4 different sub-models in it saco, so, that won't work. lol.

And Daubster, does'nt work either, the face mask has to be sloppsided in a wierd way.. hard to explain.. I can leave the faces as is though..

but heres a thought, do you guys want black paint crossing their faces? it would look wicked if so.. kinda like navy seals.. well??

Right now, I'm doing something big with these guys, I'm taking skinning to the extra mile!! you guys better be happy with the finished guys!!

EDIT! 2Hours Later
ok guys, after 2 hours of work, this is what I did.. instead of all black, I made them into a blue camo clothes.. here take a look!What do ya's think?

btw, like my leet photoediting skills.. pwn!

lol. brillaint.. thats exactly what im looking for.

Y'know what'd be cool? Tatoos running up one of their forearms. Y'know the ginger-haired commander guy? He would suit tatoos sooo well.

nice, the blue looks good.

although I think Black looked more Urban/Industrial Camo, maybe you could use the accuall Urban Camo Pattern that is used, preferably not the old bloch kind(aka the kind that you see in HL's grunts and your blue grunts), but the new digitaly made 'dot' patch camo that they have.

like so

In other news:
My map is really begining to scare me, it feels like it is some kind of ultra powerful monster or something, it just creps me out. and the whole reason for this is the numbers
1310 Solids
8138 Faces (luckly about 5/6 of them are NULL faces)
247 Point Ents (many more to come)
293 Solids Ents (same)

and yet the compile times are still under 1/2 an hour. and I havn't dared to look at the r_speeds yet for fear that software users would have a heartattack at the number.

I really just hope I won't have to go back and do some major hinting, becasue I suck at using Hints.

luckly, no matter what I have to do to get it below 1500 Wpolies (I can't be that far above that). my part will turn out great. a 2.8 minute rush through battle, explosions, grunts, aliens, missle storage rooms, and into a missle silo. by which time the average person should have about 15 seconds left to disarm the bomb

and how long does it take to disarm the bomb?!
make it 20 seconds You know you want to!

Yea.. A long difuse time makes the player really, really thrilled.
I remember the first time I tried to difuse the bomb in cs..
Twas a thrill.

ok guys, I'll be getting the models ready for download, so once you guys have the models, I don't want to see anymore pictures with them crappy half-life grunts.

yeah, do what i did with the hs5 beta. host it, and send the link to the team's various e-mails.. erm.. could you include a readme tho... i aint too good with models

we're also gonna have to compile a credits list soon.. so Gargly knows all the things to add to the credit sequence

Links will be going around shortly for the model download!

OK,

I need all the level designers names.. so I can PM the link.

I'm doing the bigger problem chapter...

I'm not taking those,cause those models are not yours.Those are Ambient Impact's models and if this MOD uses them without permission and crediting that Unbreakable made the model,he is gonna get really pissed off!I dont wanna get into trouble sorry,I'm not taking those
And HD models occurs to have some script problems.So go re-sking hl1 models not the HD models or you ll get into trouble too or else I will report you cause Ambient Impact is my friend!cant betray him with using his re-skinned model without permission

saco for christs sake will you shut up!!! every damn thing that happens to this mod you think is a bad idea!

jesus christ..

mr.jgamer@ntlworld.com, unbreakable

STFU!AND LISTEN TO ME FOR A SECOND!I'M JUST TRYING HELP YOUR MOD PROBLEMS!AND I REALLY MEANT WHAT I JUST WROTE ABOUT USING THOSE MODELS SO YOU BETTER TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND DO SOMETHING OR JUST USE THEM ILLEGALLY SO I CAN REPORT YOU ,HAND YOU TO JUSTICE! GOT IT?
OVERALL!GET YOUR ASS TO YOUR E-MAIL AND E-MAIL AMBIENT IMPACT ABOUT GETTING PERMISSION!ITS NOT THAT HARD!

Saco's right.
No really.

Ask permission first before modifying Ambient.Impact's model(s) and putting them into our mod.

Unbreakable, i think you should contact him. Would you?

I thought that those models were from the hi-def model pack...
They're nicely done anyways..

Shush, Saco.. No need to freak out. They'll ask for permission..

Saco stop acting moronic and just explain calmly chill...

i never said we weren't gonna ask for permission. im pretty sure unbreakable didnt either.

Sooo you're not gonna ask for permission?
Why?

Saco stop acting moronic and just explain calmly chill...

Look habboi you cant even call me moronic,I do not take something seriously that has been said by another moron like you!

Shush, Saco.. No need to freak out. They'll ask for permission

you too Daubster post after you read first ,blind bastard!I told hunter calmly first but mf wouldnt listen thats why I just used capslock!If you had read the rest before you post!you wouldnt be such a dickhead like Habboi!

i never said we weren't gonna ask for permission. im pretty sure unbreakable didnt either.

hunter's reply:

your reply seems more different that the other isnt it hunter!

I'm fed up with your moronic stuff,people!dont tell me to shut up ever again and I know where to freak out ,calm down!So you guys should stfu!Also if you see me use capslock again like that,well suck it up cause I'm gonna use it more often if you people act like moronic again!

Ok. First off, i'm no blind bastard! I've read that they didn't want to ask permission. Although I think that they will eventually.
If they don't want to - they should do so. Copyrighted models shouldn't be used without permission from their makers.
And I don't see, why you couldn't ask for permission, Hunter... It's rather a normal thing to do...

well suck it up cause I'm gonna use it more often if you people act like moronic again!

No. You're not. Stop being hysterical.

never said we weren't gonna ask for permission. im pretty sure unbreakable didnt either.

... read properly. never said we weren't. not never said we were.

I'm not taking those,cause those models are not yours.Those are Ambient Impact's models and if this MOD uses them without permission and crediting that Unbreakable made the model,he is gonna get really pissed off!

You said that although at absolutely no time in the thread did i say taht we were NOT going to ask permission.. i fully intended to.. infact i thought that went without saying. just calm the cheese, saco.

Thank-you Hunter!

And guys, chill out, I've been trying to contact them since last week! jeez.

Hehe internet flaming is funny
Saco whatever, in my world, I own you!

So Hunter can I ask what progress is?

Unbreakable, why do you need names for the credits?

and saco, you really shouldn't use caps, we can all read. and like they all said, asking for permision is a given

Hmm.... I missed this whole thing.. whens it gonna be done?

1st Jan 2006

Good luck piecing it all together... I look forward to playing it and posting a nasty review

good luck trying to find anything nasty about it

rofl!
