dude what? you don't have the gravity gun at that point in the game, there's a side area you run up to knock the barrel down. you don't get the gravity gun at all until after you're done with the airboat segment

The developer mode command lines don't work in LA DC 1.007

Still works with 1.5 as of 2020 even though it's not listed under compatibility.

probably, the psy bloodsucker doesn't have an old model.

This should be way higher up and replace the DL, I couldn't get this to run with the patch on here and my VPK doesn't work for some reason, but this version runs perfectly.

ModDB patch file on here didn't work for me, it's from 2015 so I think the steampipe update broke it.

I don't think that was it, I had the proper flashlight(gorgeous by the way)and other transparency textures worked, along with the bump mapping. I was actually able to fix it by installing the fan patch/texture pack with the different visor model, so I'm not quite sure what was going on there. I beat it late yesterday, enjoyed it even more this time as I think I found almost all of the notes(although I did not find the MP5 lol). Thank you for the reply, I'm going to be checking out P2 soon.

For fun, mostly. Some people like retro art styles, some people think it's funny, all up to who plays it. There are a number of different reasons it might interest someone, and the PS1 artstyle has seen some recent use in indie horror games and stuff.

I mean if we're talking logic, it didn't make any logical sense for Valve to follow up HL1's survival horror-esque play with a game where you fought interdimensional Nazi cosplayers, but they made HL2 anyways.

Just played it today, it takes place pretty much over the whole incident. The very beginning of the mod takes place alongside Gordon entering the test chamber, with candidate #12 arriving at Black Mesa around the same time that things begin to go wrong with the anti-mass spectrometer. When you first start fighting soldiers, it should be around the same time Gordon is trying to launch the communications satellite.

I'm having a bit of a puzzling issue. I am on a fresh install and I cannot see through the ballistic visor at all. I can see the visor's model, but everything else in the screen turns grey when it's down, rendering it completely useless. The gas mask works fine, oddly enough. The only thing I can find about this online is in the FAQ, and the explanation listed is that your HL installation is outdated - but I am using the standalone PARANOIA: The Game version on Xash so it clearly isn't that.

EDIT: I should add that I have played the mod version of PARANOIA before, several years ago on worse hardware than I currently have, without encountering this issue. I am running it in compatibility for Windows XP SP3 and I have already reinstalled it once.

-noprefetch is a launch option, you set it either via Steam 'set launch options' tab, or through adding one space and then -noprefetch after the last quotation mark in the 'target' parameter on shortcut properties.

LURK 1.1 download still works for the Steam version of Shadow of Chernobyl, provided it is patched up to date(should be unless automatic updates are disabled and you bought the game before ~2011). I do not own the GoG version & do not have the disc version of SHoC currently installed, but they should be identical. I just reinstalled LURK to check(My version of LURK is very slightly altered, but only config files relating to the unrealistic ammo weight and recoil, nothing that would affect install or cause a crash if left default). Are you certain you installed it correctly?

Black Mesa took 8 years to release(without the last fifth of HL1), and although OP4 is not quite as long as Half-Life, according to both team's moddb pages, the Black Mesa team was over twice as many people as Tripmine is. There are no preexisting assets for OP4 in Source, just the engine and its gameplay. Everything must be planned, modeled, textured, etc.
