A Half-Life mod where the incident didn't happen?

Half-Life Series

Finish your own sentence then.

I was planning on doing the mod like so:

During the “Resonance Cascade” Portals start to open and the system goes into overdrive, to stop the core exploding the scientists shut down the whole facility. This leaves the defence systems down and an alien gets teleported in and goes undetected. Once power comes back on the blast pit chamber does not open and when you manage to open it, it opens for a couple of seconds where the alien grabs a scientist and pulls it into the chamber. The lab is then deadlock sealed. You need to find a way into the chamber and kill the monster, but everyone that helps you starts to disappear.

It would be a no combat mod and if anyone thinks I should go ahead with it and wants to help, then I will set a site up tomorrow.

OR

Who would be up for making the whole of Black Mesa? I am up for both, going round BM would be lawl.

#43

that doesnt make sense - why would portals open up only in blast pit ? It would sound more plausible if say … the alien was brought from Xen as a sample of a new species and it broke out durring the RC and found its way into blast pit using the ventilation system

#44

You’re right. You’ve got to avoid being unrealistic when you’re talking about inter-dimensional travel :facepalm:

#45

There’s a lot of radiation around the Blast Pit, maybe the portals need radiation?

#46

Well the specifics could be worked out at the time.

So, is anyone interested in helping me sort this mod out? If so I will get working on a site.

#47

Why just don’t you wait for Black Mesa and use its models etc.

#48

Because this would be the WHOLE bm facility…

#49

it’s a SCI-FI orientated game … as in … science FICTION … and Valve try to look as realistic as possible when it comes down to the science and mechanics involved in their games , and i wasnt saying that they should stick to 99,99% realism but what jingles said was just grossly away from making any sense …

#50

So, should I go with the one alien coming through, or the BM sandbox?

#51

If you get the story worked out, sure.

#52

Well, it would be a sandbox mode, where you have modes like hide n seek, race and deathmatch in the BM facility

I decided to go with this because it gives you more freedom and would have lots of replay value xD and would be lawl.

#53

the sandbox mode would be much more fun and it has a lot of potential in multiplayer and also you dont have to worry about story while on the other hand with the one single alien you have to make up a story and build a new enemy from scratch

#54

I am going to go with the sandbox, name suggestions?

Research Round Up?
Mesa Mega Mod?

(I have a bad imagination…)

EDIT: What about Black Mesa: Reckless Rasearch.

#55

A Half-Life mod where the incident didn’t happen?

You could just not play HL1 :expressionless:

#56

erm … Black Mesa’s mod ? like … garry’s mod but with … yeah i suck at names as well :frowning:

#57

Sandbox bm would be cool, but I don’t know how much science you would be able to actually do, I guess you could do xen / alien research or maybe that could be a whole other mod.

how about black mesa… oh wait…

#58

Lol, I quite like Reckless Research (ANF suggested that one xD)

#59

I agree, maybe it should be like “Free mode” in GTA4, Or roleplay in Gmod?

And for names, maybe “Safety First”?

#60

I like safety first, but I also like Reckless Research. But which is better, only one way to find out…
