No HUD, cannot jump high enough, weird sprinting/crouching

Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues (Mod)

Amongst other things.

So I’ve had the HEV suit for a while now, got a gun, and have been killed, with no HUD. I don’t know how much ammo, health or charge that I have. This is universal, not just in one spot. I’ve restarted, adjusted visual settings, all to no avail.

Also I have found out that I can not jump high enough to climb on top of certain crates in order to get to airducts/climb over pipes, etc. I simply can’t jump high enough, I’ve tried stacking barrels and anything I can, also to no avail.

And then there’s the running thing, I can’t sprint if I press shift while walking. I have to stop walking, press shift, then move forward to run.

With Crouching, if I press ctrl while standing still, nothing happens, I have to move forward just a little bit to go into crouch.

All these happen through out the game, not at specific parts.

If you need any more information, let me know.

EDIT: Subtitles also do not show up, for anything, CC or Dialogue.

While I can’t help with the HUD and stuff, I can possibly help with the “not jumping high enough”.

Have you tried crouch jumping? That’s how you get to those parts where you can’t quite jump high enough alone. :slight_smile:

Just tried this, And wow, I guess I was just spoiled by Half Life 2 and Skyrim, but yes, that’s it! Thanks!

It suprised me ( pleasantly ) that the crouch jumping is carried over from Half Life 1.
I imagine it will confuse a few gamers who miss the HUD hint or have never played HL1.

Loving it so far :slight_smile:

:bms:

Although in HL you weren’t ment to crouchjump through the whole facility and Xen…

#6

Well I discovered crouch-jumping when it was really needed (it was somewhere “On a Rail” I think) I was the same back at '98 (like: why the heck I cannot jump over there! …oh look what I’ve just found) :slight_smile:

#7

Well thanks guys for the crouch/jump thing, but I’d really like to know how to turn the HUD on again.

Is there a HUD? Or is it another ‘feature’ of HL1?

#8

There’s a HUD. I don’t know why it might not be showing up, but I know that in other source games, “cl_drawhud 1” at the console would turn the HUD on.

#9

I am having the same problem with no HUD. I tried this command (as well as variations on it) and it had no effect. Any other tricks up your sleeve?

#10

Maybe the HUD is falling outside your FOV for some reason. Have you tried adjusting the resolution or running the game in windowed mode?

#11

I am having the same issue jumping, it hasn’t impeded my progress because I knew to crouch jump, but does anyone else feel like you have to use crouch jumping for a little too much? I mean I understand that it is used to get to certain spots and all that but I am finding a need to crouch jump just about every god damn little ledge, am I the only one?

I have. No dice. That would make sense, except that the crosshair is missing as well. I have messed with about every setting that seems possibly associated. Now I’m re-installing just to see if my file got corrupted somehow. Thanks for the help.

cl_drawhud 1
