Area 51:HL mod for Half-Life

Also proof that the mod is still going and that some progress has been made. Youtube.com
It's an old video but it contains footage of the WIP Bridge map. Still a beta thing and needs a LOT of work but it portrays my initial idea of having a huge ***-alien fight scene on the bridge.

Hello trackers and fans of my mod!

I apoligise for the HUGE amount of time it's taken for this mod. But I NEED to explain some things ergently.

The reason I've not had time to do much is because I'm currently taking my GCSE exams at school. This requires a LOT of coursework and revision so I can get my grades in and stuff. Plus I've had a few medical problems, physically and mentally and my family have been having...."Complications".

Getting to the point, I apoligise for seeming to not be doing any more work on the mod. Truth is, I've not touched the mod since earlyier this year. Some say I've been to lazy, some say I'm another dissapointing creator. Ah tough, if you don't like my pace of work then go away, I work at my pace. Weather this mod takes 5 years or a week.

I aint giving up on this mod. I have the entire modding folder on my old PC that I plan to one day pick up and work on till I finish it. I promise a good mod. Right now I need time to find more modders, mappers, coders and get help from a couple of special friends.

This mod may seem dead for now but I won't be leaving it forever.
Think of it as a "Duke Nukem" mod.

Don't expect to see this finished in the next few months it's gonna take me a while but I want this to be a real kick *** mod, so my goal is to do that. I will start production on this later in the year after my studyleave at school. Thank you all so much for supporting and looking out for this mod I truly love you guys!

See ya for now guys! :3 Got a big surprise coming up at some point ;D

Not dead is it? Dont let it disapear! :D

Totally tracking this!

Still greatly looking forward to this mod! Dont let it gather dust! :D

You got talent for the music, I'm deadly serious...

One advice : don't loose precious time to post too much mode preview stuff and respond to EVERY post, instead, concentrate on the mod (mapping), and compile your maps more often. Which, will lead You to the question, whay they lag so much your Half-Life (low FPS).

Here comes I (only if you promise me that you will finish and release the mod), if you have any real-time chat program (skype, messenger, msn or so), I can help You with your mod with custom better and new UFO/Alien prefabs, models and stuff, exclusively and only for your mod, also I'll give You links with short explanations, how the HL engine works when blocking polygons, and why your maps will lag (horrible r_speed).

If someone is a singleplayer mod maker, he must know these things (random order) :
1. How ALL HL entity works, and how to make very complicated entitys and solids.
2. How the HL engine works, and how to use tricks in building the maps, so they don't lag to oblivion.
3. How to compile properly for test and final, using the right tools.
4. How to do other stuff, like modeling and properly pack it all at the end.
I don't want to sound insulting, but You can get some help.

PM me, if You accept the help, and want to talking in real time.

Nice musics, did you made them?

I also can see my UFO prefab used :D (yep, the SAME Venko)
Let's just hope you know how to use it and what it does...

Maps are the most important part of a mod. There are a lot's of tutorials over the net, how to improve your maps. For example, the bridge map will have horrible r_speed, 'cos of the bridge cords.

I will track this, meanwhile here is my new prefab pack:

Although you said it isnt UFOs and Little Green men, will there be a glimpse of a Flying Saucer? I crave to see traditional Flying Saucers in mods and games badly.
