Hazard Course Remake

[dky.tehkingd.u]

@JeffMOD

I may be able to do the flashlight section, and add in a part that teaches a new gameplay element not used in HL; Flares!

Great idea. You should lump that with the flashlight area. I think that room could have been more interesting anyway.

@JeffMOD

But not for at least a few days, because I have all sorts of schoolwork/university and college applications to do.

Ugh same. College apps are annoying…

TehBoxNoob: I sent you a PM (about your PM, that seems to have gone astray?)

JeffMOD : I can make other props; railings, trusses, pipes, furniture etc.

I visit the BM forums mornings and evenings (my time zone) so my replies are bound to be delayed since many of you live in North America.

I’ll look at the files, I might be ab le to splice something together pretty easily. Edit: Apparently she managed to record without ever saying “A,” on it’s own.

Actually, the first room was built without the emitter in mind. The fact that it fit so perfectly was just lucky.

Gah, you make me sound like a dick, :’(

I’m pretty sure we need at least a few models, so if he’s offering, can do it, isn’t a jerk and has the time, I don’t see the problem.

Sorry didnt want to, but in previous mods where I’ve been I got kicked out for recruiting developers without notifying the leaders:meh:

@Dragonuv2 We’re not even finished with jump and crouch rooms, so not yet :3.

[Serza]

Uh… if you guys need dubbing, or Czech translation for the whole thing, I could try my luck about the dubbing, and sure do the translation.

[elivance]

dubbing?
More likely a translation…

Anyway, if you need an Italian translation count me in.

Just a side note: I used no clip during ‘imbound’ and u loose alot of magic if u do so, alot of rooms not finished behind the corner, no collision, but also some easter eggs

Alot of rooms in Inbound use the nodraw texture to high up the FPS…the player wont see it though so what would be the point to fill up the place with textures?

I wish we had a filter for this.

Hey, there are some specific Hazard Course lines in the original - it was just an idea. Not sure how it’d work with the fact I didn’t do voice-overs for BM itself though. The creator would propably want the same voice for scientists/security guards as in BM.

Either way, I’m translation capable.

At the moment we use soundfiles that were already in the mod.
I think this will change once we get to the point where we really need choreography.

@dky.tehkingd.u

Uh take a look at the ambient_generics in my guard room vmf. I forgot.

Hey since boxnoob gave you the dropbox info, can you take a look at my shooting range map and see if you can make a model to spice up the [cool_feature]? Right now I only have basic placeholder brushwork which is kind of bland.

I’ve taken a look and I think I see what [cool_feature] you’re talking about so I will try to come up with some idea.

[Crypt]

The whole freakin’ section is a [cool_feature], really. Regadless of what you make a model for I can already tell it’ll improve tenfold.

@TehBoxNoob

Implying I’m a leader.
I didn’t even know we had a leader. :retard:

In regards to translations and the ‘dubbing,’ I think we can start looking into that pretty soon, right? I mean, our script likely won’t be too expansive depending on how much we can vary from the original. Ac3d’s ideas, for instance are sweet but would be a heavy amount of voice work and scripting. Myself, I think around the time we start finalizing voice work (assuming we’ll actually be getting some (which I hope we do)) we can probably look around for translators.
Does Dource actually support multiple spoken languages? It does, right?

Well you’re the only one (I think) in our team who works with other people on a mod that actually develops.I see you as a leader, but I don’t know if other devs think the same .
@Lars Do you got Steam?If you got join, join this group https://steamcommunity.com/groups/hazardcoursedevelopers
This way we can chat through the group, and we don’t have to spoil everything over the forums.
Really impressive work though at some areas, the only thing I have to say is that you stuck very much to the original HL1 HC geometry and improved some things a bit…but thats just my opinion :S

I pretty much agree with this.

Where did these VMFs come from, anyway? Lars, did you actually take the time to make all of these?

I also recognize that we need to have a more standardized structure to our file system. From now on, props will be put under “props_hc”, the way JeffMod did it. Lars, can this be done with your props with minimal effort?

One step at a time. That stuff pretty much should not even be considered right now. We don’t even have concepts locked in. We should wait until we finalize the concepts, otherwise writing could easily become obsolete (read: time and effort wasted) and we’d have zero version control over anything.

some miner questions here

1. will the hazard course at any point show the suit zoom?

2. will there be multiple paths on the jsut walk area like there was on half life?

3.will there be a area that has you jumping from moving platforms? (as there isn’t really one in game)

1. No idea, but anything is possible because no concepts as of now are final.

2. I’d imagine it would be so, but no idea… see above

3. There was one in the original (rotating platform), but again, see above

[darkone]

you could have just answered one and said that that answer applies to all.

[dky.tehkingd.u]

Team members, check your PMs (unless Crypt hasn’t sent the info out yet).

We are officially cutting the crap and organizing. We’ve been screwing around for far too long. Check with Crypt if he hasn’t sent the new info yet.

EDIT:

Does anyone know how the map naming scheme works? “bm_c1a5b” or whatever isn’t really descriptive. The numbers don’t seem to correspond to chapter or anything, really. Anyone have a better knowledge of how it works?

[Crypt]

I’m pretty sure I sent out the info to those that don’t have it.

As for the naming, I think of it like this: cXaYZ, where X = Act (or day, I guess), Y = Chapter within act, and Z = map of chapter.

It’s pretty awkward, but works. C1a0 is Anom mats. Around the time night swings by (judging due to night just before Apprehension) it switches to c2a1 (Blast Pit), and…

Wait, wait, no, it doesn’t work.

Okay, no over-analyzing. It’s irrelevant for the most part. If we just stick to the original map names everything should be fine and dandy, we can all laugh and be happy, release a perfect add-on, go triple platinum in 7 hours and become rich and famous.
