Another HEV suit problem Created 20 years ago2004-08-18 16:39:46 UTC by BJ

I downloaded Glass_vassy from the map vault and copied it into my non-Steam half-life/valve/maps folder and into my ..SteamApps../valve/maps folder.

If I run it in my non-Steam Half-Life installation "hl.exe -dev -console +map glass_vassy", I start with the intro, the monster entities (barney and grunts) are there, but I'm without an HEV.

If I run it from Steam "Play Games-Half-Life/Lan game/etc.," there's no intro, no barneys but I have the HEV.

If anyone gets the intro, the barneys AND the HEV, will you tell me exactly how you run it? I'd appreciate a full command-line.

Thanks.

Evidently Vassy's not equipped you with one, so you just play without it.

Or, if you want the HEV so badly, type 'give item_suit' in the console.

That said, you should always put the HEV suit in before the player picks up weapons, since all the weapon models have the HEV suit on. Something that bugs me!

Hehe, nice detail you spotted there, Mephs!

Another reason would be that a player can't switch between weapons without the HEV. And to see your health in a combat environment is always handy...

But well, Vassy's map didn't really need a HEV. Maybe he left it out because of the HEV intro voice?

I appreciate the responses.
