AN IDEA

Half-Life Series
#1

so i was early interested if there was planned to make OP,BS and Decay Source versions and ewas told that other people are already worcking on that and i should see it on https://www.moddb.com so i looked up for and i found those
https://www.moddb.com/mods/operation-black-mesa - Opposing Force
https://www.moddb.com/mods/barneys-tales - Blue Shift
https://www.moddb.com/mods/blue-mesa-source - again Blue Shift
there was no decay project sadly

so i got one idea… if the inspiration of those great ppl are different parts of HL why dont they worck togather… this will speed up game development and everyone will be satisfied… there also are parts where those games cross with each other and whith those groups togather there will be no misunderstandings… i also think that it will be good th create full map of BM where every detail will be shown and that will make developing much easyer…there will be no doors leading to stone wall and rooms on astral plane :smiley: it will be good if BM developers will think about it becouse they are best from all other developers and their job will be best…

#2

This was suggested numerous times and the answer was always no. Mostly because other teams couldn’t really offer much, and still can’t. Working with them would only slow down the development not speed it up. So sorry, but that just won’t work.

#3

srry if i am just wasteing time… :frowning: i only want to help this project also i am new here so i don’t know well what was told before and what wasn’t… anyway still i think that this team could do other parts best of all…

#4

Oh, don’t get me wrong. Nobody is angry at you :stuck_out_tongue: It is perfectly understandable that you didn’t know that it was asked before. And yes, it would be awesome if they would remake Blue Shift and Opposing Force. But they won’t. Unfortunately :frowning:

#5

but anyway i think that after succes of Black Messa they will think about it :smiley:

by the way i also meet post like this on OF forum

this makes me to think that black messa team is makeing hard itself to worck with oter teams. it’s sad… it would be stupid to see 2 different bullsquids in games which should be restavrated not remacked (BMS Bullsquid is better)

#6

Isn’t one (or maybe both) of those Blue Shift mods dead? I would really love to play a source version of Blue Shift, but I’m not sure which ones are still active.

#7

@ w00ties

It appears that another team is trying to continue what the initial (Barney’s Tales)team finished, or at least that’s how it appears according to Mr. Sugar.

From their Moddb page:

As for Blue Mesa, if you check out their forums, it looks like it’s been dead since 06.

#8

Frankly Saying i dont care about those Dev teams… i looked everything and only worth project was OBM (Operation Black Messa) Black Messa like version of Opposing Force… but they are makeing as if was Horror game… in reality HL isn’t supposed to make ppl cry from fear it is Half frightening Half scientific game…

i also looked at their forum and one of the developer said that he asked for some models as they were already made by BM dev team but they refused to give it… i just dont understan what would tey loose??? cooperation between those teams is needed for succses in future…

I imagine since there’s already been a leak of Black Mesa resources (this was some time ago now, but still) that the Dev’s would just rather altogether avoid another such incident.

#10

SSHHH! THE LEAK IS A LIE!

#11

Yep.

And Assassin, at least the first third or half of the original HL is supposed to be frightening and unnerving. Think headcrabs jumping at your face, the tentacles in Blast Pit (hate those damn thing), etc.

#12

There was a decay port a while back, but I hear it was merely okay.

Also, anyone play the old game ricochet? Wasn’t there source mod for that was well?

#13

The Decay port for the PC is good if you like co-op games. I talked to the Ukranian developers who made Half Life: Decay for the PC and they told me that they would NOT make Decay for the Source engine.

OBM has MUCH less of their work done than BM. Basically, they would be mooching models, resources, etc. without doing their own work. Basically it robs the community of seeing two different interpretations of the same facility and makes the OBM’s work not even their own.

Also there has been some bad blood between the teams in the past (due to a certain mapper on OBM stealing some content for his own map, he is no longer on the OBM team) so working together might not be the best idea.

#15

You’ll see in the end that only Black Mesa will prevail. Mark my words. I just know all those other mods won’t get done. I mean what the… they started from scratch?

#16

If you’re a solitary player like me, then it isn’t much use I’m afraid :stuck_out_tongue:

#17

i just want maps to be realistic(for this game o.c.) and this can be done only with cooperation or by one team doing all… there may be the places which souldn’t be there, kinda where in BMS is Blast Pit in OBMS may be research labs or something like that.
i created topic where i said that it would be good if someone could make 3d map(like in resident evil) of Black Mesa so there wouldnt be any misunderstanding… i dont care gow it will be done… I hope you understand my point

#18

I used to be active on their forums. Downloaded the mod and never played it.

#19

I played it with intooblivion and failed because I fail at co-operating…
