Weapon Customization news - ARRANGEMENT Mod for Half-Life

I think some people get a thrill out of pushing Goldsource to it's limits and beyond, rather then on Source which can handle a lot more.

hey dont rank this post down its a good question and the answer fits 100%

Answer 1:Because it's a great engine.
Answer 2:Because they CAN.

Well IMHO it's not a "great" engine, but it's easy for new modders to use. Mapping is extremely difficult in HL1 compared to newer engines (especially with terrain), and I believe coding is very difficult too.

SysOp however is an extremely talented HL1 modder - I can certainly tell you that his work on AM surpasses any of the official HL1 releases! He is one of the few people who is capable of really pushing the HL1 engine.

Yeah, tell me about it. Terrain is a holy pain in the ass. I did sweat blood when making these cliffs for my map.

Awwwwwww, I love you. You have nice skills as well and people knows that.

Because some people thinks Gameplay > Engine :]

Stubby = idiot

Well... HL's engine was okay ten years ago, but since the games started to 'evolve', it's normal for us to find it cheap.

If we compare it with some other games back then, we could say the tools used for modding HL's engine were... too basic. No built-in terrain generation, no real-time preview for level editors, and I could stay all day long talking about contras...

Being a simple engine makes modding... easier. The only drawback is the final product. You can't create a mod with awesome graphics or features without coding 'em up from scratch. In those cases, switching engines becomes handy.

The feature I did has nothing to do with the engine. I used VGUI for input detection, but it could be done on any engine you want.

Thanks for your comment!

Well because modders choose whatever engine they want to work on?

Damn straight

Indeed, choosing engine due to age is quite silly.

1) is really easy to mod, there are mods with no new models, code, or sounds only maps and if this are good the gameplay is fun
2)if this is oldy and primitive you had a lot of things to do, for improve it, anyone can put some bumpingmap in a map of HL2 but for half-life1 peoples from different countrys had to learn, research, and code it! theres only 2 codes for bumping map in HL1, the ValveERC(I dont remember the autor) and the Paranoia from buzzer.
You know if Valve release the complete code of HL1, SourceEngine will die! Check half-life FX of the russian, excellent load of graphics stuff, but without all the code its laggy.
3)Great ideas for free, you know quality doesent mean graphics, check mods like firearms, counterstrike, svencoop, the specialist! awsome mods with excellent gameplay, they done a hard work on code not for graphic improvement else to had a gameplay improvement!

Is not an MP5, it's a FAMAE, actually.

Accually no bullets do make noise if you have a suppressed weapon with sonic ammo thats where most of the sound comes from the bullet hitting sonic and making a sound boom but to avoid that you use sub-sonic ammo so it does not make a sonic boom along with a suppressor then you have absolute silence

It also depends on the calibre used. .22 silenced makes pretty much no noise, 5.56 silenced makes a little noise, 9mm makes a lot of noise.

Actually.. I have fired a silenced Mp5 before (which is a 9mm) and the only sound I could hear was the empty casings hitting the floor. Alllsoooo I read that you had a problem recording the video smoothly. If you want I could hook you up with a smooth high-quality video, send me a PM.

That's what I was thinking :p
