OP4 mods Created 16 years ago2007-06-26 00:01:19 UTC by NineTnine

1: are there any SP, player made mods like opposing force? (where you play as a grunt).

2: when making a mod for hl, how do i change the format so the mod is in OP4 (so it uses the op4 fgd, player is the 'grunt' with the soldier hands etc)?

1 - not that i know of
2 - use the op4 fgd. everything else is the same, it just uses the op4 dlls and content.

doesnt op4 use the HL dll?

No, it uses its own DLL actually.

are there any SP, player made mods like opposing force? (where you play as a grunt).

Yes.

P.S.

Why are you so obsessed with Opposing Force?

the barnacle gun alone makes op4 really cool.

True... but it's almost all he ever talks about.

Im making a mini mod using OP4, i tried this before, failed, so am trying again. a mod will take too long, so im making a mini mod (consists of about 5 levels) where you play as a grunt.

Op4's Low-Def models are teh suck. They actually reduced the texture resolution lower than the originals. shudder

I think Opposing Force is awesome! I enjoyed it far more than the original Half-Life ( Heretic!) and the additional guns were pretty awesome too. The SAW kicks ass.

Ok well I got the OP4 .fgd from the MEGAHALFLIFETOOLPACK, you'll need to make a new game i.e. Half-Life is set up with the .fgd in the valve folder (or included with Hammer 3.4, it's a better version I think), the .dll location (sierra/valve) and some other things (leave the bsp and csg things alone though) so that when you want to make a map in Hammer, it asks you what game you want to map for so that it loads all the neccessary things, like the .fgd.

Basically it's like adding Half-Life to the games list when you first map for Half-Life.

You also need to set it up when you compile so that it puts the map in the maps folder for gearbox, as opposed to valve.
add the -game gearbox command to the expert compile so that it recognizes it as OP4:

$game_exe -dev -console +map $file -game gearbox

I think that explains all or at least most of it, sorry if it's totally wrong, you're actually using Steam OP4, that I took baby steps, that I made your computer asplode, whatever.

Low Definition models?
Was there a HD pack for Op4?

It only had the weapons that where enhanced in the normal HL and BS HD packs (Glock to Beretta, MP5 to M16/M203) and put OP4 hands on them. It didn't include an HD BFG or Barnacle.

I use SD models for OP4 now.

SD?

Stop using shortenings for names! >_<

SD = Super-Def?

Yup.

How did you get it Urb?
