Hazard Course Remake

[D3lta]

@Ronster

i know you guys have not been too keen on my ideas but i’ll chip in for the sake of it

The first walkway with the metal grate platform along the wall might look good with the back wall has some large fans and is a ventilation duct… Give it some extra detail and wind sound effects in this area. Also straight away making this underground area more believeable… like air is being pumped inside of it.

Just a thought and would give that bland area some scale and sense of puropse other than a walkway

The wind sound effects may encourage the sense also of sprinting as they are told to do along this area or get used to your suit movement

Im actualky way too tired to understand what you said…but from what i read i can tell you were not even finished yet

[Ronster]

Sorry yeah really tired too

This Room

Big ventilation Fans on the back wall away from where you are going

gusting Wind sound effects

Needs more light, but the natural light is niiice.

[brokenfridgehinge]

Tad bit dark in there, but it’s a good start.

[D3lta]

Gonna start tommorow on the intro.If anyone can make aome concept art of the lobby I’d appreciate t since it makes it easier to map (i cant think of something)

Oh wow, the natural light is pretty nice. Of course, the room does need to be lit up a bit more, but I really like this.

Found my PS2 disc!

So this is how they handled the long-jump in this version, but I’m liking the idea of floor-based delivery system.

[dky.tehkingd.u]

I’m sure we can come up with something fancier… And less ultra high tech.

[Dragunov2]

Why not use the same tech delivery system as in the room just before the Portal?

@Crypt19

I agree it was cool as Hell, but it’s not really scrapping it. Considering how makeshift everything else appears to be, a high-tech long-jump module delivery system seems out of place and redundant. Why have a huge storage… tank and mechanical arm when you can just hang it up on a wall or raise it up through a trapdoor or something?

@dky.tehkingd.u

Raise it from the ground, via trap door.

It needs to be easily restocked for future trainees without actually requiring people to enter the room to restock every time. Therefore, a delivery system.

See? Sensible.

@dky.tehkingd.u

Just have some sort of trapdoor that opens and brings one up for Gordon from the floor. Doesn’t have to be TOO fancy… after all, this is just the training course, not the actual Lambda Lab where fanciness matters.

@Crypt19

For Hazard training there’d only need to be one, so the fancy arm deliver system probably won’t be required.

This thread just likes to go in circles, hahaha.

I think some of us just need some rest :p…or just train our memory
But so we need to let the player keep the high jump or let a guard unequip it or just remove it at a loadibg point (if that will occur)

Can I be of service?
I have been mapping for pleasure since HL1 (and the old Worldcraft 2 ). A couple of years ago I made a more or less direct adaption of the Hazard Course in SDK 2009. Now I’m adapting the maps to SDK 2007 (a lot of textures are invalid)

I’ve also been modeling static props, among others a smaller version of the holo emitter from Black Mesa and miles (well hundreds of yards anyway) of railings.
Clearly I’m not a texture artist, I’ve used available textures with minor changes.

Hey lars, nice mapping there! Were you a part of the old HC remake team or did you just do those recently?

[LarsBR]

No, I wasn’t. I had it in mind though but then the project seemed to die.
The holo emitter I’ve been working on the last few days, the maps since 2009 (and they never get finished )

The silo looks pretty darn good, but to be honest the other parts (except the jumping part) are looking very blocky.Great modeling work though!

[dky.tehkingd.u]

Awesome! A new holo model would definitely be much appreciated. The current one is a bit bulky.

[Dragunov2]

It’s nice, u can shrink it down

[JeffMOD]

The tunnel still goes to nowhere right now, but the lighting is much better.
EDIT: But I don’t have any media, because the media I grabbed from my comp and uploaded turned out to be old stuff.
I am an idiot.

[dky.tehkingd.u]

I’ve started work on the armory and firing range, by the way. If anyone has suggestions, please state them right now before I get too deep with the design.

Also, how much deviation from the original would people here be willing to accept? There were quite a few things that didn’t make much sense in the original course, but I do respect a certain level of purity.

Did you dropbox’d it?

dky.tehkingd.u:
Great, I hope you can figure out the shooting range. I’ve never managed to get the func_guntarget to work. Stationary target: okay, moving target: no-can-do.

The holo emitter: I obviously used the BM holoemitter as a template but made mine 60 units wide, BM’s is 160. And I can make it any desired size.

I am not a purist so I would say ‘Go wild! Have fun! That’s what it’s all about.’
