That’s true for everywhere. Complaining about it with no relation to the actual topic doesn’t help either. In fact, it makes the complainer seem like they have a disgusting attitude themselves.
Complaining about the complainer is also yadda yadda who cares everyone knows how this goes.
In all serious though, has anyone been working on a PCV for the HECU guys? I was wondering if anyone would do that.
The Black Mesa forums have been pretty tame compared to before the mod was released.
The camo looks really nice. Definitely true to the original. I always thought the original HECU made by valve was the Swedish M/90 standard camo albeit in an (fictional) urban coloring.
Here’s a comparison
Sometimes makes me wonder if Sweden decided to invade New Mexico in a Red Dawn style fiasco.
Looking forward to the update.
And and Sgt. Check your mail on Gamebanana.
Wow you’re right they really are similar. Maybe Valve did this intentionally?
Oh damn, never can trust a viking.
Honestly I think they just randomly splotched those colors on there. I doubt they even knew what Sweden’s camouflage was.
Here some updates for my HECU reskins using Joint Operation settings:
I will fix the normal map for the second skin works better (the patches in uniform)
maybe make the uniforms have dust and sand for the grunts on the surfice?? they seem to clean compared to how normal soldiers look on desert enviroments
Remove the HECU and The unit patch on the BA on the front. They wouldn’t wear them on their kit. The only thing that is usually there is a rank and name tape. If you want their armor to look real, look around for some MTV pictures, (thats the marines version of the army IOTV) The Army IOTV has a place for flag, the marine one doesn’t. Although valves version looks more like the standard Iba
On the right hand sleave, right under it should also be a HECU patch. This is a deployment patch and I’d assume the majority of a unit like HECU would’ve been deployed already. The American flag on the right hand side would also be OD/TONED/infrared.
Nice work on those skins!
Fun fact is that Valve chose the camo not because of realism or story elements but because of the simple reason that they needed the soldiers to be distinguishable on the low resolution of 320x240. Effectivly it is anti-camo.
Before another heated discussion starts: this is a fact. Mentioned in Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar.
When you’re finished with them you should upload them to game bannana they look better than your old one’s.
Works really good with the Joint Operation pack
Oh hi. That’s interesting, I just checked it before checking here so mostly I ended up saying what you already know.
For your new joint operations pack are there going to be black ops all the time or only those two soldiers who ambush you?
Right now it’s only the two who ambush you. I’ll leave the option in to change that if people really want to though.
That’s a good idea that way it will make sense.
I have a couple questions/suggestions for your release, sgt, if you don’t mind:
1st: not everyone may like the urban camo helmet, but like the new gasmask, could you also make a version with old helmet, but with new gasmask?
2nd: some may have inferior computers,(though I’m sure you’re not going crazy with the filesize), it would be good idea to release smaller texture, little less detail,(I’ve seen retextures that only add patches, yet they increase the filesize by ten, which is completely unnecesarry.).
I’m sure someone may agree with me, so I hope I contributed somewhat.
Don’t worry, both of those were already planned from the beginning.
Excellent everything is falling into place.
Okay, v1 is up!
