H.E.V. HUD Initializing sequence

@Flatline

I would have thought that ‘no’ was clear enough. Obviously not.

Ehrm, I asked Raminator

@Mangled*

This really is a great suggestion. It would be pretty easy to implement too, since all of those parameters for showing and hiding parts of the HUD already exist.

I’m sure Valve would have done something similar given the opportunity. Especially with the retrospect of how huge the Half-Life series has become, that first moment of Gordon putting on his HEV isn’t something that should go understated. It was cool in Half-Life and I think the implementation of this suggestion would do it a lot of justice, and give it that extra little bit of holy shit this is awesome!!!

Yeah, small, practical and looks “awsum” so why not if it will be simple to do? Just because this wasn’t existed in HL1? Wut? Is Black Mesa really copy of old HL1? Half Life: Source was it.

sigh You’re new, so I’ll be lenient.

Flatline is Raminator’s dual account. He uses it when someone gets him angry, thus “Flatline” as in “I will flatline (kill) you!”

So, in effect, Ram was answering your question again, only angrier.

Thanks for info. Too bad thread is now just idea. ;(

Yeah, ravmahov. Last time he showed up half of the forums were banned. You better be careful… The forum felt kinda lonely during that time

[Death_Eater]

lol Flatline he will tear you up…watch your self around him.

[Winged_One]

Shit, I remember that. I beleive I myself got a temp ban for participating in the thread that can’t be named…:fffuuu:

[ravmahov]

If Flatline is really Raminator, and banned Winged One for nothing, he could watch out.
I will tear both Rammy and Flatline in real, not just forum >=D I’m pretty harmful >=3 cuz… rawr I’m lion.

Btw, why he have to be mad cuz of good (I think) idea, they had to polish up BM, and I think they have much more really serious things to do and won’t release BM for long. Tell me if it’s hard or laborious to do Mr Raminator, but I think cman2k could look at this idea, unless Raminator is great coder too. I’m really not asking for time button, which is playing some sounds in order to do sentence “The time is now: 2:40 AM” or something (oops, already asked) but for HUD modification, just one time in game, on start.

Over the years people have suggested hundreds, even thousands of little ideas that would make the mod a tiny bit cooler, in their opinions. If the devs implemented all of them, the mod would never get finished and would end up nothing like Half-Life any more anyway (this is known as ‘feature creep’, where the constant adding of pointless new features delays development needlessly and ‘creeps’ the project further and further away from it’s original goals). If you have an idea you’d like to suggest that doesn’t match something already done in the half-life series or in the Source engine and doesn’t add to or significantly improve the gameplay without straying too far from the original, then it needs to be either ridiculously easy to do, or massively cool, or preferably both.

It’s not up to the mods to give you reasons why they’re not using your idea, it’s up to you to make the best possible case for your idea, and if they still say no, to take it like a man and move on instead of whining about it. O[COLOR=‘Red’]n which note I’m closing this thread. The devs have seen your arguments and come to their own decision, there’s nothing more to be said now.

PS, for the BM veterans: above I actually started typing ‘creature feep’ and had to stop and think about it for a minute before I remembered the proper name. Damn you all. <3
