#61

I solved problem already. I have fully working hev guys on my map right now.

#62

sighNevermind.

#63

is this fan map/level remake a linked version?

#64

I know what you were asking me about the the reflections in the comments on my channel in youtube. You need to place on the map a few entity “env _cubemap”. Details I can not tell you because me you do not understand, because of Google translation. Just search on the internet about this entity or go here https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Env_cubemap

All right thanks ! I think I know what you’re talking about. I will try it !

#66

is the alpha version a linked version?

#67

MEDIA UPDATE !

#68

EARLY BETA VERSION VIDEO UPDATE ! Go to first page to watch video.

#69

Dont know if its the reflection of the water, but it looks like the dead HEV member lays on the beach.

#70

I totaly appreciate your work, i just dont understand why are you doing something that will be done by bm team “soon” ?!

#71

We’ve reached a new level of impatience, apparently :stuck_out_tongue:

#72

Everybody tortures me with the same question again and again. I do it for fun and in case it will take long time for BM team. “Soon” may be in few months or in a few years. Next time read first post, I explained there.

#73

You are overreacting.
Besides Black Mesa’s Xen will have better quality then this, since it already takes 4 minutes to get to Gonarchs lair.
As for the map itself, I suggest you make the transition to Gonarchs Lair longer.
And change the texture scale on faces of the island, because it very noticable.
Also I’d suggest to recreate the moving islands, since you are now using HL1’s islands.

#74

I didin’t say Black Mesa’s Xen will be worse. It will be better. I’m the only person working on it, and they have entire team for this. I do it for fun because I don’t want to wait for BM xen.

#75

With overreacting I ment that Xen will probably not take more years.

#76

I predict that Xen will be finished in April or May (pure estimation). Your work is really good, but:

  • those hanging sentries that shoot you with purple beam look likethose from HL1 - too blocky
  • portal to Gonarch should be needed to be activated somehow
  • remake floating islands
  • reoptimize fall damage areas / lower the gravity
#77

I want you to know guys that I am still alive and continue my work on this project. So if anyone is still interested in this, download my beta version of first xen chapter ( I released it today and it has many changes so check it out !) it’s on the first page so please visit, download and enjoy :smiley:

#79

This map is very cool, please create the continuation of XEN! :smiley:
