A standalone map created solely for Brutal Half-Life
Nightshade is a semi-stealth action map which I made because such isn't a very explored genre in Goldsrc engine games and I thought the idea could make for a fun experience.
Watch playthrough here
Oxygen, my other Brutal Half-Life release: Moddb.com
I mean it looks interesting but there isn't any instructions on how it works.
There's an instruction file in the download.
i extracted the file to the bhl beta 2 directory and it didn't work :((((
Once you're at the main menu of the game you gotta press the tilde key (usually has ~ and ` on it) which should open a command prompt. In there you gotta type map and then the name of the file of the map which I think was nightshade.bpm (I'm not at my computer atm so I can't be totally sure.)
e.x: map nightshade.bmp
If that doesn't open a command prompt go to the controls section in the options. There should be a button at the bottom that says "advanced". Then that should reveal a couple more options. Check the one that says "Enable Developer Console" and then that tilde key should work.
Whoops forgot to sign in, sorry.
after i put it in it says
map change failed: 'nightshade.bmp' not found on server. and i did what you told me
bmp is a bitmap file, its BSP
This was a really cool map! i liked the level design a lot. There was a glitch or something that made the platform elevators in the last room not work and I got stuck in them a few times. The only thing I can think to improve on was lighting (it was very dark throughout) but other than that excellent!
This is an extremely well made mod and should probably have more recognition for one reason, it inherits stealth in a way I don't really see much in Half-Life, it being Brutal helps too and makes for an incredibly enjoyable experience.
after i put it in is said
