Great update! As usual you do not dissapoint. Although I admit I liked the first gameplay reveal a little bit more, mainly because it was more exploration oriented rather than combat only showcase. I just hope that the mod won't consist of combat mostly but hopefuly also put much emphasis on storytelling. Other than that, great work!

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with some of the points, and I will take them into consideration.

Understood, and thanks for the information. I will keep that in mind when the next update comes.

No I doubt that. I wanted to base it on original Blue Shift. It will probably remain like that, until something changes but for now that's the idea.

The mod ends much later then that. I made a mistake and forgot to remove invisible wall in that room, but it's passable you just need to crouch in right spot and you will press on. It will be fixed in the future.

Gurkha made the weapons, but he was working on the models in 2020. I contacted him recently but he didn't respond, which most likely means that he is no longer interested in working further on the mod.

These black ops models are much better. When the next update comes new models may or may not appear, I don't know yet.

I don't know can I? I don't like the Black Ops models from Azure Sheep, somehow they remind me of Counter Strike GO models of counter terrorists, I don't know why.

I know you may be disappointed with the lack of content in the current version of the mod. I wrote about it in the latest news artice, I wanted to polish previous missions in order for them to look good enough and then move on to the next chapters. I can't give you any date. This update took almost 4 years to make. Why? I had personal life and a time consuming job. And making this modification is very time consuming, trust me.

As for the black ops, you misunderstand something, I'm not a modeller, I can't make new models and I don't have anyone who makes custom models for the mod right now. I won't simply borrow it from someone else without permissions. If another update takes years to make, then there's a possibility that this section may be improved. I don't know where do crashes come from, maybe you are using other addons, until more people report it, I will have to ignore it.

Chapter 7 is incomplete. It will be complete in the next update and it's going to be the longest chapter of them all. It will show the military pulling out of the facility hence the name "Demilitarization". Chapter 8 is probably the last one. Unless something changes, but I doubt it. I can lift the veil of secrecy a bit and tell now that I plan to name it "Semper Fidelis".

So if I add this then when my mod is launched then it blocks other workshop content being used for it? Do I understand correct?

Interesting, what does this command do exactly?

You must have installed it wrong then, it's working for me and other people too.

This isn't Opposing Force, also I would like to add that this isn't Opposing Force oh and by the way this isn't Opposing Force. But seriously, I could add some of those things but I lack modeller at this moment so until someone volunteers there's not much hope for that.

The mod already has voice actor and he recorded almost all voice lines needed for the mod a while ago. So unfortunately, right now, we are looking for people in other compartments, mainly for someone who can make weapon models and such, sorry.

Will it also work without Ray Tracing enabled?

Thanks for the suggestions, the section is work in progress, so I may still change this and that.

Hello. It's me hecumarine, developer of Black Mesa: Military for Black Mesa. I wish you best of luck with the classic version, I am very honored and excited that the story I've created will be recreated in Half Life 1! One thing to note though, is that after an update which I will release soon, the boot camp section will be removed and the mod will start from the osprey, that doesn't mean of course that this version can't include such an addition, of course. Good luck with the project!

Hey, that sounds like an amazing idea! As long as you credit the original mod and it's authors it will be fine. I've also asked creator of the soundtrack, if you want to use it, you also need to credit him as well, he is JDCreative on youtube (SinonSniper).

But you will have to wait until I release an update if you want to use it, also the mod is missing some chapters which I haven't made yet.

Hi I'm developer of Black Mesa:Military so I know how exciting it is to make mods such as this, I hope you will continue and won't abandon it, and hopefully it will be very faithful to the original and not completely different, I wish you best of luck and I will be tracking this project's progress with eagerness.

One more thing, for some reason it's not very popular, but I wonder why, I am very excited for this project, but I couldn't find any information about it until now, I had no idea it exists, maybe try finding some way to increase it's popularity, good luck.

The project is alive, we are working on it right now, expect an update this year.

Which textures are missing? Could you be more specific please?

Thank you for the suggestions, I really appreciate it, I agree on most parts, especially the metal crate to the right, the wodden debris however is actually a part of the ceiling that broke and fell down after disaster, it's not even wood actually, notice that it has the same material as the ceiling. But I will consider what makes sense and fits and what not, and eventually make some improvements.

Thanks! I may add some animal life and choppers are already included in the map, but I will consider this idea, and hopefully be able to implement it, thanks for the suggestion!

I didn't make any decisions regarding sniper rifle, scope will be changed most likely.

This music is no longer part of the mod. JDCreative is composing completely new soundtrack. All the old songs will be replaced with new ones.

I need voice actors for the marines mainly. Security guard is not an issue, as I can simply use Black Mesa's lines, marine on the other hand needs custom dialogue. But thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it.

Hi, I'm hecumarine, as a fellow modder and mapper for Black Mesa: Military, I understand the passion that you have for this project. I am very excited for what you come up with, because this is probably the most faithful adaptation of Episode 3 that we never had. Hopefully you will steer clear of the ideas like the other teams had, like The Closure or Half Life 2 Ice, which were the same idea in core, but in execution they were nothing like Episode 3. I just wish that this is not another dissapointment but seeing your current work, I have high hopes for this project, so I wish you best of luck, and I just keep my fingers crossed that you won't abandon it or put it on hiatus, because it's very promising.

Original soundtrack. JDCreative is working on it, you can listen to his tracks on youtube.

Thanks! The lack of military equipment in this part is intentional as I wanted to show that they haven't estabilished outposts at that point, but I will consider your suggestion and perhaps try adding some variety like you said.

This is just a landing area, more advanced sections will follow.

Thanks! More bonus locations will be added in the upcoming update, aside from graphical enhancements and more.
