Unreal Engine doesn't automatically make things look good. It has some benefits via the rendering engine but really when you have access to the Source engine source you can augment it in many ways which is what the Black Mesa developers has done. The real limitations is in the BSP format really and level geometry and lack of tesselation. Other than that with the right shader code you can get a lot of nice effects.

You forgot to change the ClientTitleFont in resources/ClientScheme.res
On line 635 change font to Trebuchet MS f.ex.

Is it possible to port this to Source SDK 2013? You have access to all game assets anyways.

How about talking about what a mess Valve left us since they updated the Source Engine SDK base? Now we actually have to read special install instructions in order to play mods. Never had to do that before instead just extract in SourceMods restart Steam and play.

Several of the older mods have been patched by malortie but I still can't get some of them to run even though I followed the instructions. Crash on startup.

This just ruins the fun for me and I guess it is time to move on.
To anyone who wants to make games, just switch to Unity or Unreal Engine. Several have done so already.

Google Chrome now says this file is malicious.
Please file false positive report for this to Google.

Sorry but I moved beyond GoldSrc.

Enjoyable!

Is there like a guide to playing these in singleplayer?

I haven't browsed this site in a while and noticed several old mods having updates. I'm pleased to see they have all been updated by you.

Thank you!

Maybe update this to list Linux as one of the supported platforms?
I thought it was weird I didn't see Half-Life 2 among the top 100 games when I filtered for Linux games....

Actually this was based on the industry standard cuts. They don't treat mods differently than AAA games. Steam is a publishing platform and should be treated as such. Mod makers are not dependent on Steam to publish their mods. They have moddb and can just set up a website if they want. Game devs actually depend on Steam as a popular one stop shop for games. They need to sell as much as they can as it is their bread and butter. Mod makers primarly make things for fun and the income would be a nice touch but not what makes or breaks it for them. If you are a mod maker and intend to make a living on it you should get together with some other guys and make an indie game. That would be a wiser way of using your talent. The same skills are involved, 3D modelling, programming, etc.

I don't think people have a hard time figuring out what to do there. It is easy enough to grasp. The problem is with the execution. Press one button. Jump backwards, quickly turn around press another button. Jumping backwards is faster than jumping forwards. Read up on accelerated backwards hopping.

Nice. But no documentation as to how to use it.

care to release this as a zip? Not all of us run Windows or want to have wine installed just to install something.

Here is a gameinfo.txt to turn this into a stand-alone mod. No need to mess with your Episode Two folder.

This mod also runs fine on Linux

Lol. I was realizing I have played this mod before halfway through the speedrun movie. LOVE IT. been so long since I played it I forgot all about it.

Waiting for Linux version. They should be able to upgrade it to the newer source engine.

I have not completed this game yet.

I like this game so far. I see it pays homage to various games like Half-Life and Mirror's Edge (similar set pieces/map elements).
The aesthetics are excellent and the map design is of a high quality.
Would love to see more works from them as soon as I finish this.

I thought this was just another "movie" game. But the combat is actually fun and the puzzles in this game is so good. Especially the physics puzzles reminds me of Half-Life 2.

Does it support Counter-Strike 1.5 (WON version)?
And how do you make it work?

Is there any information on how they ported the old maps to the new engine? Did they reverse engineer everything or what?
I know Rockstar isn't very cooperative when it comes to modding.

I do think the mod was well done however. Excellent action and overall good tone.

I found a glitch in the game. I had problems jumping over the bent fence you have to get over before lifting the car with the crane. I initially gave up after trying a few times, thinking I was going the wrong direction. Then after searching everywhere outside I tried once more and finally got over it. I think your clip brushes are a bit misplaced there. Or just lower the fence a bit so it is easier to jump across.

Then my annoyances:
There are no obvious clues that you have to use your car to be able to jump over the fence before the big jump down in the caves so I tried to shoot the wood beams from behind the fence. This didn't work. The game has a lot of fences where you can't shoot things through them. This is highly unrealistic. If you need players to solve a puzzle a certain way you should rethink the puzzle. It should be obvious once you figure it out and work as expected.

hl2.exe crashed when I died during the fire fight after adjusting antenna to USNRC.

I'm done playing through Black Mesa, so it is good that there is something else to wait around for. Keep up the good work!

Nerdgasm!

how about HTML5 ?

Why no mods added? Back in the day I downloaded tons of mods for this classic. Everything from replacement cars to full custom levels.
