I am free to work on skins.

@srry: No offence to your ability but how about using models for the bottles and cans?

definately dont take that offensively. it's practically impossible to get good look things that small in HL1. Models are probably the best option.

oh, and skins and custom textures needed? come to me.

I just saw some beer can prop models today that I think I can probably use. CS also has a wine bottle model, so I can use that to replace my brush-based one.

And I think I may use the Poke646 texture set, since it has such a wide range of textures that would suit my needs. The city textures I've made aren't the best, to say the least. They aren't bad, but they don't look professional, which is usually the quality us mappers aim for. :)

Actually, I hear that you don't need to. Take a look at the FAQ on its site.

Yay Srry!

Remeber not to make his apt too too nice, as he's not rich and a down to earth guy ;)

Looks great so far! (I like the bear cans! if you can make props look nice brush-based, I prefer them to models. If you need inspiration--which I don't think you do--, play They Hunger for some fine examples of brush-based props. Great use of ambients too incidentally :) )

So, is this mod dead or what?

OMG JK PLZ DUN SPITE ME!!1~ :P

Just a btw if you need beta testers for the segments that are finished, plz count me in. Also, if any of the level designers would like some detailed props or detail ideas for their maps, I'd be more than happy to pitch in--any excuse to procrastinate my current projects!!1 :P

Also btw, we REALLY need a go-to-last-post button for this damn thread!! :P

The mod isn't dead yet, development is just slow. :)

You guys should really get a ModDB profile for this.
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-01 23:51:40 UTC Post #208211
Uh... We do have one. Right here.

By the way, I've noticed there's only 2 members on the team list, pk_hunter and M_Gargantua.
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-02 07:22:53 UTC Post #208244
You should give all the team members mod access, so that they could upload media.

I have made a lot of progress, and so far it's looking really great. I'm almost done with my chapter, and I'm sure the world will be rocked when they see my 1337 mapping skillz. Not. :

I'll get back to work when I get some of my other more pressing projects completed. Since nobody else is in a rush to get this done, why should I be? :P
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-17 19:00:22 UTC Post #209852
ok.

HS5A is now completely re-made and finished.
I will move on to completely remake B and C as well.
Screenshots by Saturday

Muzz, i'm gonna need a few itty-witty bits of coding.
In fact, it's not really coding.

I need a duplicate monster_scientist. Remember like in Gyradell Invasion with the monster_barney2? (not the enemy barney. literally just a duplicate)

This duplicate will serve the purpose of the hostages, and can be re-skinned without other random scientists around the base getting effected by the re-skin.

Yay teh updates!!1 :glad: (However some screens would be the nice.)

Keep 'em coming BITCHES!!1 :P
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-18 21:19:52 UTC Post #209916
There already is one that Hunter made, but it's pretty old.
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-19 04:10:35 UTC Post #209933
as in, a year and a half old.
Archie ArchieGoodbye Moonmen
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-19 04:23:16 UTC Post #209936
why? It's all pre-beta stuff that wont appear in the final mod.
Archie ArchieGoodbye Moonmen
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-19 04:28:23 UTC Post #209937
Yeah, and it's all total shit. It'll just be disappointing, and you shouldn't base any of your opinions about the mod on it. I'd prefer to keep it out of sight as long as possible, as it's quite frankly embarrassing, especially if you've actually PLAYED any of those old maps. :
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-19 04:30:27 UTC Post #209938
heh, i'd take offense to that, but the actual maps are 2 years old, and hells teeth, they WERE un-imagionably shit =]
Archie ArchieGoodbye Moonmen
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-19 04:34:13 UTC Post #209939
I'd hope they were. They really don't stand up to your more recent maps, except for the gameplay, which seemed at least decent.
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-19 13:04:43 UTC Post #209962
I just read page 55 to 70, seems like a revival. I remember this mod was 'nearly done' almoast two years ago!

good luck! and GET ORGANIZED. msn/aim people!

looking forward to whatever release happens.

Holy poop - media update.

This is a very small, and rather mean sharing of hs5a.
It's kinda more proof of work than anything else, so that you know this had not been left to die.

There will be more tomorrow

Hunter's improving! I see some serious detailed brushwork there! :D

Keep in mind: when your part is done, send it to me so i can put everything together.

Send everything you used, wads, sprites, models and what not. If you're email application can't handle all that, send it in parts.

Keep it up!

I like the 2nd one.
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-19 21:22:56 UTC Post #210002
Very good. I'll have to put in some Poke646 quality work to meet the high standards you've set!
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-20 08:51:49 UTC Post #210025
The top screen there almost looks like HL2
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-20 10:11:06 UTC Post #210027
great work but hl1 boxes looks a bit weird with all those cool textures .

What .wad did you use?

Excellent Hunts!!! (changes nappies)

I like both, but paticularly the detail work in #2. :o
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-20 11:55:57 UTC Post #210032
All custom wads will be wad-included to save up on filesize.
The Mad Carrot The Mad CarrotMad Carrot
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-20 12:13:41 UTC Post #210035
what if the same custom textures are used in multiple BSP's? surely a WAD would save space in that scenario.
Penguinboy PenguinboyHaha, I died again!
Posted 17 years ago2007-01-20 14:12:42 UTC Post #210042
Haha they're hiding something...The way people keep asking what the wad is and whether they'll release it :)

Nice revamp of the old maps.
