Does it have an alarm system?

Yes, but it's not yours. Sorry, but I made that part before I held the contest.

Maybe. I'll try to find a use for it.
EDIT: MEDIA RELEASE!
Since I'm too lazy to actually do anything right now, I took a couple of screenshots for you guys;
I'm starting to add some more 'good' combat, with squads of aliens facing off against the player (and any allies nearby)
I've also recoded the shotgun to use 9mm ammo.
(Just kidding, it's a glitch I've discovered that makes empty weapons have the last used weapon's model sometimes when you fast-switch)
bump for thread's future

First picture could use some more variation in lighting. Add spotlights, maybe some equipment that emit light.
Second picture looks too bright to me. It's almost fullbright.

HELP: It seems that steam HL is having trouble reading the DLLs for the mod. I will try copying over the mod again, but if it persists, I will need a fix, or the mod is pretty much screwed. After all, not many people use WON anymore, and a limited market (so to speak) isn't a worthwhile one.
1st. I'll see if I can add anything that would make sense for the area.
2nd.
EDIT: area from 1st pick now has blinking red light. Looks okay, IMO. Lighting more varied, if only a bit.
BUMP Getting dangerously close to the three month limit
Just got back to work on this.

wrong a lot of people still use won it's faster than steam playing hl1 mods. Most mods were made for won anyway the few steam only mods are rare for hl1.
With me I know at least 5 other people who play hl1 stuff in won. Still you're right to give everyone the experience you must get it working on steam as well.
as for the the 2nd picture the blood decals look strange. Nearly like someone rage painted that within 3 minutes.

Most mods were made for won anyway the few steam only mods are rare for hl1.Most HL mods can be used in both steam and WON, albeit without custom splashes in steam.
Basically, if the mod is not compatible with steam, I'm losing more than half the potential audience, because most people have moved to steam fully.
Also, the blood decals look better in the final, lit map. Don't worry too much.

EDIT: NEW MEDIA! ...ISH!
A highres version (especially compared to the ingame one) of the screen from a digital map that has corrupted data.
Thanks for the bump, Atom.
Well, since I got a PM on the Black Mesa yesterday asking if it was in development and a few more people expressing interest there, I decided that I may as well resume work on the mod.
If anyone wants to help with a few map sections or something...

Just some stock rooms or hallways. I'll put together a map with the standards for size and props in a few and PM you the link.
As for the figure... Gallum galla gilla ma.
Or rather... the mod's universe's version of a vort.

MAJOR UPDATE:
Due to the actions of three people (Someone I don't know who asked if the mod was still being developed earlier this year, Discostu, and someone who will remain nameless for the time being because of the classified nature of their proposed contribution), I am pleased to announce that development will officially resume shortly, just as soon as I can figure out which of my computers has the current build. The 5 people who are actually mildly interested in the mod can now celebrate by closing this tab at the end of this post, which is now.

Thanks.
Btw, does anyone happen to know of a good freeware program for synthesizing music? I want to experiment with maybe composing my own soundtrack for the mod on top of the HL tracks. I've tired ACID Xpress, but it doesn't seem to really be...useful, between the constant ads for the full version and it seemingly being unable to add notes from the keyboard into the tracks.

Yeah, since I'm improving the old areas, (And haven't compiled any of the changes yet) I have nothing new to show.
Oh well. In the meantime, look at Urby's 'The Core' mod. It's exceptionally good.

Could I help?
1: My mod is advancing very slowly, but hey, so did the Stone Age.
2: I could use some of those weapons, I need help on coding weapons in like your Deagle and I can edit the model for my scientist arms.
3: If we could figure out how to make custom models with ease, we can take some of the event files and make new weapons, for both of our mods.
4: Do i need Spirit of Half Life?

I don't have any custom weapons per se, just reskins. The deagle is just the magnum using an HEV-arm hacked version of the oppossing force deagle.
I use spirit, and you should be using it too.
Don't give up on your mod, keep at it.

You can download the source files for Ambient.Impact's HD arms here; the blue shift folder contains a set of scientist skins for the barney hands.

I got some from fpsbanana with permission, and 2 things....
1: How do you add extra people from different games like how you added Otis.
2: How can I make my wiki page? I have a wiki account, and I can't figure out how to make a page for my mod.

I used spirit to set certain barneys with a new voice type from a custom sentences.txt and then set the model paramater to the otis model. As for a wiki page, make a link on your user page (on the valve wiki) to the page you want to make, follow it, and then edit the new, blank page from the link.

Thank you.
Alright, I need a someone to do a quick model hack for me; all that's involved is taking a few animations from the decay scientist model (which I will provide) and putting them on Ambient.Impact's scientist source files (which I will provide a link to)
I might be absent for a few days (bandwidth usage is getting close to full) but I'll be back as soon as possible to contact anyone interested.
Thanks!

coding isn't the same as using spirit. Spirit is a 'template mod' that doesn't involve any coding. dimbark you can't use spirit if your mod already has some coding in it.

I've left my mod, all rights go to Potatis_Invalido. I think I want to move to source mapping. It seems to be "hip" and "in the now".

Post #290936
Firstly, what the hell does that have to do with this topic, Dimbark.
Secondly, Source mapping was "hip" and "in the now" about 3 years ago (many people have moved onto the Unreal engine), but it's a good idea to learn Source now so that you can develop something decent when Portal 2 brings out the next iteration of Source.
