As you can see, i'm new here, and I came here because I heard there are people here that can do more then just play a game.

Half-Life: Evolved is a full rebuild of the original award winning Half-Life, and it is going to be based on the Source engine.
This MOD isn't going to be like Half-Life: Source or Black Mesa: Source.
Its going to be very different.

Instead of just porting HL to the Source engine, or replacing the old models with high quality once, my plan is to replace almost everything.
The only thing i'm going to keep is the storyline.

The plan is:
-To replace old models and textures with high quality once
-To add some new weapons, but also include all the weapons from HL1 and Opposing Force
-To add cool effects like blur, slowmotion, fade out where they could be needed.
-To change the maps.
-And the most important: To add a new element to the game -
horror. (The MOD should be scary)

I already got some people to design a site and for planning BUT WE NEED:
-Coders
-Modelers
-Mappers
If anybody is interested email to: GunManStas@gmail.com or post here!!!
Any other help will be apreciated!
Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading!

This isnt a remake at all. You're adding new guns and new levels. It sounded like a great idea untill you got to the "changing maps" and "adding weapons" part.

You think so?
We can add all the HL and Opposing Force weapons together.
And there are also plans and models in HL1, wich weren't included in the game.
We can use them too.
I tougth it would be fun too meet the monsters from Opposing Force too.

Meh, if you take out new maps and weapons, this will be just like Black Mesa: Source

Feb 25 2005 Anchor

Yeah.
You're right.
But lets leave the maps out for now.
What do you think about the new monsters and allays and effects and horror?

Well you can do whatever you want of course, but i think if someone made a remake of hl1 (redo models of everything, redo textures, everything) that would be awsome. all you would have to do is design as you play hl1 over again. like play the first level and make the new levels as they are in hl1 in the first level. then move on to the second level and so on. dont change the enemies or guns or levels. just make them look like hl2 graphics by making a redo for every model and level. it would take forever though and its totally different then your idea.

why the hell did i just type all of that? move on...

meh, not interested, I can play HL1 for HL1 and Black Mesa Source from something a little different. Why not have some original!!! So far most of the mods that have taken my eye have new and original ideas.

Sorry...

We can try remaking Opposing Force.
Nobody does that yet and I really like that game.
We can replace all models, textures and maps with high quality ones without changing them, but we can still add lots of effects like bullet time or fadeout or something nice.
We can make the maps much scarier by doing them darker and adding scary sound FX and ambience.
A while ago I saw a bunch of aliens that were planned and made by Valve, but were not included in the game.
We can include them too.
And I think it could be nice to add some new allys, and make more models of the old ones so that everybody won't look the same.
I also think that it could be cool if NPCs could pick up any gun they want.
For example, it could be nice to see barney with a shotgun
instead of his Glock.
And it'll be cool if scientists will be able to shoot guns. (We can define their shooting skills.)
We can add a co-op game mode where instead of NPCs, your team can be real players.
(Any players has his own skills, like the NPCs. Some players can be medics, or HW guys, or that guy who can melt doors, or just an ordinary soldier.)

How does that sound?

I think its pretty pointless. If you are stuck on remaking old games try Half-Life: Combat Evolved :p
