Hey guys it’s me again! I started Half Life and found my HUD and weapons were changed along with character models. I really liked it but I don’t remember downloading this mod at all. I did a stupid thing and installed the HD pack over it and completely replaced those textures. I will upload 2 pictures, I know they are not much but any info you can give would be greatly appreciated. I noticed the M4 was named “M4/M203” and all the guns were much bigger and had better sounds when they fired, plus new animations for reloading.
That mod is called Black Mesa.
Naah, He’s looking for Balck Meas.
Nah, Black Mesa 2, the recreation of Black Mesa in Half Life 1.
SSShhhhhhhhhhhh Damnit, We’re not supposed to talk about that yet.
No… it’s the recreation of Black Mesa in source.
That may be some of Diamond D’s stuff…
@OP: Search for Half-Life: Enhanced.
The H.I.T. Forum community is responsible for that model content and much like it (search through this section of the forum), with a lot of the better content made by Romka and Ambient.Impact.
There’s also an unreleased mod in the works which has been in progress since long before Half-Life 2 was announced. It’s not dead. It’s not getting daily attention, but it’s not dead. These guys are the hardcore Half-Lifers. If they were to rule the kingdom of “Longdevelopmentcycle”, Black Mesa would be but a peasant. My experience forum-going there is certainly the reason I’m so divinely patient for Black Mesa to come.
Edit: Oh shit, it seems that the entire file-system on that forum is down now. You’ll find the origins of the things you’re looking for, but you’re S.O.L. when it comes to downloading most of them.
I think Ambient.Impact and Romka have (or had) their own websites where they re-hosted content. Try searching down that avenue.
Diamond D just gathered these things and put them in packs. With the forum file-system down, hopefully those packs are still intact somewhere.
With a bit of browsing, I found the website you might want to visit:
Thanks to those that actually tried to help, those other mods I don’t recognize the weapons models. With a bit of browsing, I was able to find the weapon model that looks like the one I used, I also recognized it when he pulled back the receiving handle to reload which is in one of the attached pictures.
If you haven’t already located it, HIT’s model depot is here You can find various HD weapons (Vanilla, Gearbox, and ones that don’t really belong in HL canon) as well as DiamonD’s packs.
The scientist you posted in the OP is Ambient.Impact’s. I personally recommend using his NPCs, then supplementing them with Romka’s HEV, osprey grunts and assassins, etc. (Found on Ambient.Impact’s site)
Really, most custom H/SD NPC models are based of AI and Romka’s work, just with minor mesh changes and retextures.
Thank you for this
