In addition to being amazing in general, this new version of Lost Alpha actually runs better on my setup than Call of Pripyat does, which I thought is quite amazing. Congratulations to whoever does the engine programming on this project, it's really smooth.

All you ******* idiots asking for this to be singleplayer are just that: ******* idiots. Scripting sequences to make the story (cut-scenes or in-game sequences) could take as long or longer than it's taken for them to get this far. Have any of you nerds tried scripting even a simple sequence for even a simple engine like Goldsrc? It's time consuming, and then you have to make animations for the models in the scripted sequences and well, in short, it's way ******* hard to do a SP game.

This is a really stupid ******* idea for a mod.

now what's that supposed to mean? :)

Just use the grass density slider.

oh and Cpt.honalakashakawhatever it doesn't matter if it's normal or not, it just doesn't look very good, you can't even tell the grass has isn't just a texture because it's so dense that it just looks solid.

I'd say maybe half the grass density for this area. It's just too much imo.

That doesn't make it any less illegal.

The Half Life 2 content is not okay. You can't use assets from one game in another. While it's true that they're both made by valve, this doesn't make it okay (This seems to be the most frequent argument for it being fine). HL2 and HL1 are two different games that are sold separately (Unless sold in a bundle on steam, but they're still shown as two different products in the bundle list), meaning that you are giving people who own only one game content that they would normally only get by buying both. This is illegal. It's stealing and its distributing the stolen content as well. Please consider making your own textures or hiring someone to do it for you. You could even do it yourself just run a photo through the "make seamless" filter in GIMP.

If you delete this comment I'm just going to flat out report your mod. This is just a kind warning before someone else does.

Will edit to make it a more subdues, brown hue.

he doesn't afraid of anything!

Holy **** those sprites are old school, but when I made them DD, I intended the arrows to face the other way. ;)

It might not be technologically on par with source, but aesthetically I'd say it looks on par with half life 2's visuals.

Wow this is pretty good for goldsrc!

Well Necrod thanks for being so considerate about my feelings. It feels great to know that the wood I spent an hour hand painting looks "lame". And a big thanks for the justification and reasoning behind why it looks so bad. =D

And yes, it's supposed to be semi stylized, as it is extremely hard to make something perfectly real looking. Think Far Cry 2, semi-stylised textures and environments.

Yeah it is a bit bright, but I took samples from 5 or so pictures and blurred them all together to get an average color. So it's pretty perfect, coloration wise.

I'm pretty sure that's a UV map...I'll be texturing this soon afaik. As soon as I setup the SVN again.

.tga ala mechmod?

Wow that water looks almost bioshock quality. How in the hell did you pull that off?

hi diamond you are awesome can u maek hl pax 4 TF2 i think dat wud be ossum

Make sure you use detail textures. These ones, no matter how nice they are won't really hold up when you look at them close up. Good work on the mod guys. Looks really superb.

Looks very nice. The whole horror theme isn't really my thing but I think I might give this one a play. If you need any help with compiling or modeling or texturing or whatever then just give me a shout. ;)

Will you actually reload the grenade launcher, or does Gordon manage to stufff 10 grenades in there at once?

This mod is gonna be well over 1 gigabyte methinks.

The white wall texture is very repetative. Even though you're obviously the supirior mappper and I'm just an amature, please consider putting in a buliten/notice board or maybe a recruitement/safety awareness poster.Just to break up the texture.

I've just finished playing this mod for the third or so time. I must say that when you tak it slowly you are able to better appreciate just how much effort went into this mod. I was especialy impressed by your modeler and your mapper must be phenomenal! All the little touches from the flashlight to the many modles props make this a truly outstanding mod.

"um.. the t-rex in center is originally a skeleton. ;D
Have you seen the movie? ;)"

Um it's an animatronic (robotic) T-rex. ;D Have you read the book? ;)

That mp5 is leet.

Woah! Whats the poly count on that machinegun? it looks awsome.

Now that, Is one HOT render! keep up the good work guys.

Hello BuZZeR! I have been wondering ever since you anounced that a v1.1 patch would be released if it would get rid of the awsome music tracks by SLOT? Your expediance in answering this question would be greatly appriciated.
