Storyline discussion Thread - Dark Interval Mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Так это не модель Консула, да и не его, а Ред Катаны. Кажется. Рескин, не модель.
how many chapters have you (not 100% mapped, but a good start) mapped out?
Well, Airex was the first chapter that I started to work on and it's almost complited, except for the very final. And except for the train crush. Hyperborea is basically complited, it can be played through, although I continue expanding maps. City 17 chapter, from factories to steam tunnels (trainstation isn't completed, but it... let say, 50%). So you can count these chapters as completed in a sense that they can be played through. And there are many maps from almost all of other chapters. 2 maps of Kraken, 3 maps of Vertigo, some parts of Ravenholm, several Canals maps, Eli's colony, Depot.

brush.titizen is.. Well..he is busy for now, so I'll try to answer.

We plan to make the train crash look like in RTB, I mean there will be an ambush, elites, Alyx comes to the train, then we flee from the battle, etc. You better wait for brush.titizen's answer about other details on the map, he can tell you real facts, I know this only because he told me this and I have seen some old screens of this map.

The conscripts in Airex will help Gordon, because they are assaulting the complex, they managed to break inside, but their tanks or whatever they use for transport and attack are damaged and they are stuck inside one of the buildings. Captain Vance will be there of course and Gordon will meet him. There will be another group, recon group, but Vance lost contact with them but assumes that they are still alive and hiding somewhere. Gordon will meet them too. That's how the general idea of Airex script looks like. At least for now, we may change something in future.

I can't answer the question about the demo, it will be a decision of a whole group, we need to think about it thoroughly, because it will be the first real playable thing you will see, it should be perfect in all aspects: gameplay, bugs, performance, scripts and everything else.

there were no hunters in the beta universe, although i have reason to beleive the flechette darts that it shoots are the ammo that the combine super soldier should use, because the combine super soldier has similar attacks to the hunter, like the big arms to ram into the player, and a gun thats supposed to shoot pulse ammo (the hunter is essentially designed to be a mini strider, and the combine super soldier was originally supposed to fill this role as a mini strider, but more humanoid)

so basically the combine super soldier got replaced by the hunter in terms of concepts

also in hl2 ep1, the NPC for the hunter was called "ministrider"

it would be nice to see the super soldier shoot flechette darts instead of plain pulse ammo, so it can be in homeage of the hunter's common concept as a "mini strider"

so any updates?
its been awhile

i've seen diologe for the skyscraper where Alyx gets captured while injured and even metrocops talking about the consul, will they be remade for the mod's skyscraper chapter?

love the work on the streetwars

this mod will definantly succeed

people, though will get skeptical on the status of this mod due to the lack of news posts

We aren't the authors of the current model, so this is a template and the mask will be changed anyway, not necessarily to that of the Valve's model.
And there was hardly a need to repost it here.
