[Help] Half-Life Flipsigns Created 3 years ago2020-11-30 08:30:47 UTC by Endrew5632

So,i am working on a translation for half life, and there are a lot of Flipsigns with very small letters
There is one known to hide a easter egg ( https://combineoverwiki.net/images/4/4c/C1A0_FLIPSIGN4.png )
If you can figure out the very small texts,they read "If you can read this shit then you are really fuckin strange... with good eyeyeS / I need text of interest here. no really go ahead and picture something cool in your mind eye make something up of what you would like for this to say".

But the other ones...

There is no way i can figure these ones out,if that is even possible
i searched all over the web and it seems like no one is interested in knowing what they are trying to say, or if it is just gibberish and the security one is the only exception

So,i don't know if i just skip these blurried words,or what do i do.

. ok,so i did a little bit of improvising,a little bit of research (ex- with the image about the black mesa Hydroelectric dam, i talked about Hydroelectric dams,and where it is located in the hl universe etc)

but i am stuck at the chopper aka APACHE image
what the hell am i supposed to talk about it? any hints?

What is the military doing at black mesa before the incident?

You're the one that decided to make a translation mod, so that's all up to you, right? If I were you I'd just leave it as it is - nobody could read it before anyway.

As for the military, Black Mesa was built around an old ICBM silo complex, and some nearby facilities were apparently still in use by the military. They were also involved in several weapon research programs, so you'd expect them to have some military personnel come over on a regular basis anyway.

Yea but the high tech weapons are classified, so it makes no sence to have advertising about it xD
Yea i know it's up to me man, i'm just asking for some clue about the lore

Lots of heads think better than one

Yea but the high tech weapons are classified, so it makes no sense to have advertising about it

Yeah, but that advertising itself is hidden deep within the facility anyway, so it's not exactly public information.

Interesting, I didn't even know those flip signs has proper text on them, I guess because they are so pixelated they are ineligible to read but I'd be interested to know what the other banners say!

Thanks guys..i think i gathered enought information to form a text for the flipsign

I know right niteTnine,this makes me very curious
