The giant fan on blast pit.

[Dillxn]

Getting past this derailment :hmph:

is the solution to the fan problem something we’ll just find out once the mod is released? or do we get to know before hand (i.e. in this topic)?

[Floyd]

Almost certainly we won’t find out until the mod is released. Developers have been known to deliberately not answer a question that is answered just to piss the person off who asked it in the first place and not succumb to peer pressure.

They’ve been fairly tight-lipped about things for the most part. I hate being “spoiled” and I rather enjoy the stance they’ve taken so far. If anything, I’m hoping for an answer along the lines of: “Yeah, we figured it out - it’s the most awesome thing you could ever imagine. We’d love to tell you all about it, but you’ll just have to wait and see for yourself.”

However, I wouldn’t mind knowing if all the fan blades will be angled correctly.

I hope it’s as close to the original as possible, it would be boring if I don’t have to climb under the fan to activate it.

I hate when people keep saying that something “was originally going to be this” because that’s flat-out bullcrap. It was just on a brainstorming list of possible names for Black Mesa. You can’t say something “was originally going to be this” when it was one of several possibilities that might have been both created and scrapped in under five minutes.

Thanks for your complaint, maybe in the future EVERYTHING won’t annoy you

I think it should be there in some form as well. I haven’t played through half life in about 10 years and it’s one of the things that sticks out in my head most. Everything is better with nostalgia glasses on!

[Dillxn]

I’m sure it’ll be in there, just modified to make more sense.

I seriously doubt it.

It had 3. :hmph:

I hope I will take some damage after I jump into the air-stream and hit the ceiling. The speed was incredible in HL1. Either that or the accelleration decreases gradually the higher I get (proportionally or exponentially I wonder?).

Or you have to crouch to go up, and slowly go down if you stand (higher/lower surface).

Am I crazy?

I think the fan should be treated like water. Where you can ‘swim’ through the air flow.

@Raminator

You will be pleased to hear that the fan blades are angled correctly, my friend.

There are also twelve of them! :fffuuu:

@baconeggs

Sounds like it’s now a ridiculously thick 12 blader. :fffuuu:

Remember that giant fan on blast pit, and how the controls for it were UNDER the fan? so anyone who had to turn on the fan would have to make make a mad dash for the ladder, climb like hell and pray to god that the giant blades doesn’t cut him in half. This would NEVER pass any modern day safety inspection!

I think in the black mesa mod the controls should be in a little control room or something. what do you think?

It wasn’t hard at all, dunno what you’re talking about
