Xen Assault [HL1] Created 19 years ago2005-04-25 05:08:27 UTC by Sajo

Here is my mod's story;
First of all you are Gordon Freeman.:)

At the end of Original:Half life gman(the guy with blue jacket) says ''...we have controlled Xen...'' so in my mod ;
The people on earth builds a city on Xen because the aliens are under control but one day everything goes wrong aliens get out of control and attack the city...So gman wakes you up from your life bubble(a big bubble in Xen) and says :rise and shine freeman and then he talks and talks .After that you enter a teleport and teleported to Xentopia the city on Xen.

---

screenshots:sory they are kinda big

I think it's going to be pretty good. Can't wait to see the finished product!

I'm planning to make S.W.A.T friendly :

mmm ..

That would be cool, right now I'm in the process of mixing Them and the Op Force grunts.. to have somewhat of a war like mod against the swat guys and us (op forces)

Looks great!
I loved Xen so don't let me down!

Looks awesome. If you aren't using Spirit to make this, please do. Using spirit can let you "make" new monsters without new code. Like, you could have a grunt with a pistol by having a monster_barney set to a grunt with a pistol model and have his behavior set to "enemy-military".

But if you are using Spirit then i just wasted my time.

Huh!? Is this really possible.. I've never tried it.. Please, do explain more.
Do I just put a monster_barney in with "Model.." set to another model?

How to make a new monster without new code:

Step 1: Set up your monster's model
You want a grunt with a pistol right? Find a grunt model (or make one) with a pistol and put it in your model directory, or wherever. Now make a monster_barney and set his model to the grunt model. You can resize him to be bigger or smaller, but keep in mind that the hitboxes will stay the same. So I would recoomend resizing the model itself. That was the hitboxes stay where they should. Example: If you used the entity to resize Barney half way, if you shot where a normal sized barney's head would be, the smaller Barney's head would be shot. But if you rezised the model itself, when you shoot him, he will be shot where you shoot.

Step 2: Health
Simple enough, change his health, if you want to, in the "health" field.

Step 3: Weapons
Spirit lets you make Barneys with either a glock or a 357, more choice, happy day. Not much to say here, just pick a gun.

Step 4: Behavior
With spirit you can set not only monster's health and model, but their reaction to Gordon as well. from memory I know you can set them to :"
-Alien-hostile towards Gordon and miltary
-Grunt-hostile towards alien and Gordon
-Bullsquid-hostile towards other bullsquids and, headcrabs, military, and Gordon
-Headcrab-runs away from bullsquids, hostile towards Gordon and military
-Friendly unless provoked(barney style)
-Friendly
-Scientist(I don't know what this does, but maybe it lets you have the monster follow you?)
-Hostile towards Human

Thats it. Now if you really want to have some fun, make a pyro by giving a garg a grunt model. Though you would still only be able to hurt it with explodives and egons...

The only drawback to not using new code is that I'm sure if you can change their voices. It might be possible, but I've never looked into it.

Wow.. Wicked.. I'll be messin' around wih that today. OOoooohhh YA

SUPERB! WHERE CAN I GET SP?R?T!!

Google it.

HL:Spirit

I just realized!!!!!! Do't worry about speech on your new, uncoded monsters guy! Just gag it! That way there's no need to worry about wrong voices! By the way, I very much look forward to this mod. Everyone knows how much of a sucker I am for Xen and city maps. Rock on, Saco.

Looks good. Hey Saco BTW, is your avatar the Ghost portrait from StarCraft?

yess,rowleybob

btw thx everyone for supporting my mod(with really good comments)

new screenshot:I have a new monster gonome
and a new model for headcrab

Boxy..

could you examine the colums next to gonome,

and so what if its boxy.

"So what"? That's hardly the attitude.

so what if its boxy

just answer the question will ya

Boxy = poor mapping. That's not good.

oh f*k! why?! this map is suppose to be sewers...so I cannot put a circled brick texture that would be stupid...but there are some rounded walls when you continue in the sewers...

It looks good Saco.. I love making sewers, I just created an underground type of place with two fire burners and it rocks.
I should post a pic, maybe tomorrow.. eer.. dunno..

oh forgot to credit some models are from Svencoop 3.0 such as-Demongarg
Demonotis
Gonome
Headcrab

I'll credit those later ,I just wanna infrom that those models are not my creation.

You should use a custom water texture!
I made one and looked as good as HL2! sadly I can't find it but hang on I just remembered that you briefly see it on www.freewebs.com/rlmmod

thats not sewer water...I needed a filthy water and I found it in Poke646 .

looks good saco, good lighting, your grunt looks damn cool. But ya i agree, fix your sewer up a wee bit.

your grunt looks damn cool

thx to unbreakable

fix your sewer up a wee bit.

I fixed that .

And look at the demongarg closely,its bigger than a normal gargantua! and it has more health then a gargantua.

Test it with a barney and a normal garg, look at their heights then look at that picture.

and as some of you know that I like hard and challenging maps
(the game must be long too)

So there will be always low ammo and low health
And I'm guessing of 10 chapters or something like in hl2

According to the high definition models and new NPCs,I hope that it will be better than poke646 or POV

How did you get the Gargantula to be that big?

Model Viewer lets you resize things e.g. I made a Bullsquid the size of a map and it made things annoying because I couldn't see anything as I was inside the bloody thing!

I presume he did something different though...

In the model viewer, you mean the weapon origin thing..??

Who all is helping you on your mod Saco?

It's a Great Mod.........
But...........
I Say :Change Your Mod's Name
Xen Assault is something that when somebody hear it , he can guess
what is in your mod and he will decide instantly:
"No..I don't Like IT!!!"
So Name it Something Strange
For Example Just "XEN" Or "IN XEN" Or Something than doesn't include xen like:
"LIVING BETWEEN MONSTERS"

G

Or 'XEN : Where a thin line lies'

hmm?! : really,is it that bad (mod's name)

NO!I cannot change my mod's name,! did you heard these mod names;They Hunger
POV
Visitors
Xen Assault(it doesnt sound that bad)

Who all is helping you on your mod Saco?

what do u mean?
Anyone helping on my mod?!

no,just me right now

I am helping him

Anyway keep the name! It has a nice ring to it!

I am helping him

---

in the credits section;
special thanks to TWHL

---

but nobody really helped(help that I mean,I didnt upload any problem maps so nobody corrected my mistakes.But they helped me in forums[so I say special thanks])

Well, I'd help, IF (and a Big IF*) help is needed?

Oh!Sory forgot about you...I credit you with big letters at the beginning of the game (The guy who made my-our game more exciting with swat,now gordon has an extreme partner superior than Barney)thx to Unbreakable

Yes I know.. but do you need help creating environments.. places.. etc?

dont know yet?!But if I need any help,I ll let you know.But I'm not mapping that bad[like in my map vault,my maps suck] so I'm the new Saco

Good to hear. Well the Security Guard is now finished:Now working on the grunts.

Looks good,but that doesnt look like high definition barney. :
Or is it?!Because everything in the mod must be high definition(mdl),must look good enough

I think I may have a high definiton model if you want, it's just the normal barney, but if(and only if) I got the t model then I can make blue darker.. like the barney in the pic ^..
I'll check when I get home, but in the meantime, look for a barney.mdl, and barneyt.mdl, hd.

So ur gonna use the tmodel of the normal barney for h.d barney ,is that possible?Because h.d barney has a more different face then regular barney . :

no that's not posible, the hd model has deferent textures than the t model...

Nope I don't have the t model for the high definition barney.. that sucks.
