maybe I’m just being really dumb, but I can’t get the installer version to work for some odd reason
EDIT: But I managed to work in the other version though
Hey Text, I have a question. I’m playing BM without your maps currently. After you use the tactical map to kill the giant flamethrower beast, if you try to go back the way you ran, you can’t go through the doors because of an invisible collider. Does that still exist in your maps? If so, removing it would be a nice touch. It can be immersion-breaking, at least for me, who had no idea where to go and tried to go that way, and there’s no reason for it. The player can’t backtrack too far, after they fell out of the chute.
The tunnel is probably removed from the map after you leave it to save resources. Not being allowed to backtrack is less immersion-breaking than being able to see a hole in the fabric of the universe.
I removed it ages ago. I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just load out my maps to check it out, but I’m sure you have a reason.
That’s exactly the reason. However, it was a bit of excessive optimization from the BM Devs for that courtyard - which runs like shit anyway. Removing it makes VERY little difference to the overall performance, especially given I made a few optimization tweaks here and there.
Got dibs on the new user title.
Pics or it didn’t happen. Bug an admin to change your name with out getting a new account.
As in the bit under the nickname
I have Surface Tension uncut installed, by I have a problem. The sky texture or skybox is black. There is no texture. I think the map is called bm_c2a5d. It’s where you fight the first tank. I have reinstalled BMS twice now, and with the same issue. Any help would be great.
That is c2a5d.
Now, I’m no expert on making skyboxes (because I haven’t had to deal with them - yet), but it sounds to me like you’re missing c2a5d’s corresponding skybox texture file. That shouldn’t really be happening because even with stock black mesa none of the files should be missing - the devs did a good job with that. And installing STUncut shouldn’t remove any of those files.
Either that, or somehow the skybox material list got bonked somehow. Check the appropriate gcf and see if there is anything missing from the list.
It could also be that the skybox entry for that particular map is empty, in which case it’d just use the last loaded skybox (which would be assumed to be one of the ST skies), which could be a black one (underground) if you were playing other maps that used that skybox before that and loaded bm_c2a5d with a map command.
If the material was missing completely, you’d get pink and black checkerboards.
Surface Tension uncut is great. Thanks TextFAMGUY1!
We are back on topic.
If u still want to make a final version once the official mod reaches Steam, I have encountered another bug with the extinguish fire of the furness.
I don’t know if it’s a bug which can give a little bit more performance if it’s fixed
Another game stopping bug, just had it today, never before!
So when u go through furnace room, u need to get in the pipe (after stopping the gas flow which gave us those flames), so when u reach the end of the pipe and jump down, u kill two vorts and one grunt, u get up the stairs and jump on the pipes to reach those building with the tripmines and sentry gun.
When going down the stairs, the security guard standing overthere, normally reacts on the player, but now he was just standing there, ever ‘using’ him didn’t do anything, so he didn’t open the door, to let me out, so I couldn’t continue…
No tricks used as ‘notarget’ and such…
But had to use ‘noclip’ to continue my playthrough (through the hangar doors) to reach the other end.
And only had one group of enemies, one grunt and two vorts, so normally when u run to the other hangar door, so u can continue to reach our giant monster, u have another group which spawns, no nothing, even couldn’t open the door myself of those last big door.
So everything the security agent normally does triggers the remainings, but no he didn’t open the door, so the remainings don’t work either…
Try reinstalling Surface Tension Uncut.
I keep the Black Mesa torrent for that exact reason, in case I screw anything up, I just delete and quickly reinstall, then reinstall the various mods and what-not
the only thing I hate doing is fixing the skills and weapon cfg files
because 30 shots and 3 grenades for the mp5 is no fun at all
50/10 all the way[/SIZE]
It’s only a matter of time before someone makes a configuration tool used to remotely change the values in BM’s text files without opening them.
I’ve played through STU maybe a dozen times and I can’t imagine Surface Tension without Text’s work.
Same here 
Same thing here.
