Thansk Mirellanmal. I was looking everywhere for the value of gravity and didn´t found it anywhere. Thank you a lot, for your help. Mirellanmal. Cheers.

Thanks for the answer Mirellanmall

Mirellanmal, I didn't understand what you wrote. This version of Xen you updated works with the steam retail version of Black Mesa?

Or this version works only for the free modification version of Black Mesa?
There is a video of it working in the Retail version of black mesa?
Thanks.

Thanks Eyaura :)

I downloaded it, but it is not initializing and i have reinstalled the source sdk 2006. Can you tip me on why isn´t it initializing?

The error says: "The module failed to initialize".

Zloikot. Your Xen maps are great, very good.
But in your last version, you placed trees in the floating islands and that is a big mistake. The Xen is a different dimension with other life forms. Earth trees are not right in Xen, it breaks the mood of the alien world. The trees don´t fit on the alien world. I hope you take it away if you upgrade your mod again. Other than that your modification is perfect.

About Beta - I have played it all and it is really perfect, but only one change i think was not for the best, that was made in the Trainyard, B2. In the B2 map, now the trainyard is too easy compared to the alpha version. It becomes strange that there is so few HECU in an open space. Compare it the open spaces in the rest of Black Mesa, like surface tension, for instance. The alpha version with all of them protecting the place was perfect, or near perfection, for an open space. But great work anyway.

If you look it expanded in HD, it´s there. There are reflections of objects inclusive.

Wow. Creepy and Awesome view. Thanks for the gifts :).

I was thinking if you will address, or not, the paintings in the walls. Some cut-scenes, maybe?, of the paintings or drawings, or his drug delusions?, for that matter. It is maybe too far off the scope for a modification to address this features?

I have to say that this project is Great. In the same level of the other recreation of Valve classic games.
I have great memories of playing Portal and the Flash Map Pack of Portal.
I hope this modification will be featured in the Think with portals site.
Good work and good luck for your team. Greetings

You´re welcome Leon, and the compliments are well deserved.

I also forgot to mention the
- room with the machines that mount the Strider´s "Head".
This factory room is epicly well done as the
- futurist alien machines and textures used in the Combine base.

About the other enemy NPCs, in fact it would be a bit strante to have the Combine base infested with Zombies ;) (unles it was a kind of laboratory, but it is a factory instead)

I understand what you are saying, in relation to the ally´s NPCs.
It´s allways a problem having to do a good fight and having to worry to protect the lives of the allies.
But, a well done interaction with friend NPCs, in relation to the story and the happening drama, makes the story more alive and more thrilling.
And i am aware you know that better than me; and; as good as it is, this feature requires a lot of effort to create making the game still more difficult to release.

Anyways, thanks again for the efforts of your team, since we were gift with an entire Half Life game for free and that is
no small feat.

Have played until chapter 13.
It´s an excellent mod game.

- The trick with the vehicle is very creative.
- Going up in the montain with the vehicle is cool.
- The fight in the Snow was very good. It´s a pity that were so little of snowy parts.
- The Train car was excellent, in the same level of Valve train events.
- The Antlion Queen fight is excellent.

- The music and sounds are the best features of the game by far. (despite the excessive number of alarms, in my view)
- The music was perfect in the game.

The not so good part.
The problem with this mod, and others in general, is more a fault of HL2 than the modifications themselves.
The problem is that there is no variation of enemies. It´s always to fight and kill combines.
It becames like a WWII style of game, in which, instead of Nazy Germans you have Combines.

If there was some Hunters, Houndeyes and even some Advisers to fight and see (i know it´s not based on ep2 source engine), then the lack of variation in enemies would be less apparent.
Also the lack of fighting allies, like the Vortigaunts, during the game, also diminish the appeal of it.

But it´s an excellent game, nevertheless.
Only that, without Episode Two enemies or even Half Life 1 enemies, it feels a little outdated in the Half life Series.

Great Work and thanks for some nice hours of play.

WoW, congratulations to the Team. Can´t wait to download it and play.
It´s a while since i have something new to play in the HL series.

Who says that big games can´t be made anymore.
Strider Mountain just proved it can be done.

Thanks for the incredible effort that you made.

It´s a great mod. Very good levels and challenges.
I think people are too used to play easy Half Life games or mods.

Again, it´s an amazing game, for what i have played until now.

You deserve all congratulations for your hard work.
And i see people very ungratefull making such cheap criticism.
Yes, the game has some hard challenges, but nothing that a Half Life gamer hasn´t faced before.

The only critique that I have is the appearance of Gordon Freeman in the game.
This is blasphemy to the Half Life canon. The third view on Gordon Freeman breaks all the feeling of the player being the one in control of the game and of being the hero.
I am sorry to have to say this, but that was a gross mistake, to show the model of Gordon Freeman in a single player HL game.

Hi, i have been looking for this mod for some time.
It looks great. Even more when episode two is also about going to a montain.
It appears to be approaching release.
Any hints on the situation of the mod guys? :)
