Welcome to Half-Life: Final Run. Final Run takes place after the "Apprehension" episode in the original Half-Life. Instead of being thrown into that trash compactor, you are transported to the Black Mesa Jail. Here follows the new radio transmission: "So where are we going with this Freeman guy anyway?" "Topside for questioning." "What the hell for, we got him. Why not just kill him now?" "Because command already knows we're bringing him in. I don't need to be answereing how we "lost" him again." You awake from your beating bruised and dazed - the staccato of an assault rifle slowly winding down. Taking in your surroundings it appears you're in a small brig built on the base. A firefight had broken out between several security guards and the small squad of Marines in charge of the brig. During the firefight the locking mechanism for the cell doors is damaged. You can now make a Final Run for freedom.

November progress update on the mod and other projects.

Posted by on

So as always we open with the tired old trope of progress is chugging along slowly.

Coding and texture creation are adding to the slow pace. Coding is almost completely done just working out a bug where two of the NPC groups who should go into rag the minute they see each other don't.

Texture wise it's always something - make some brushes and go "oh, I need a texture like this"......... and it doesn't exist in any of the vanilla WAD files. Also have to trim down the existing WADs as when I merged BS into HL several doubles appeared. Near as I can tell BS took what they needed from vanilla HL added their own and released the WAD.

In other project news there's a faint possibility of doing some work for a Fallout 4 mod. The FO4 Creation Kit isn't very friendly at times.

I'm also working on a map for TWHL Tower Source. Mapping for Source is quite different and I'm learning as I go. Basewise yea blocks plus textures equals rooms, but beyond that triggers and models (aka "props") have changed in how they operate or are something new like "Instances" which is a map inside a map.


That's all for now,
