1) Surface Tension Uncut v2.0 - Installer Version (by TextFAMGUY1):
"Final Final for real Update: 26/06/13The very final version of Surface Tension Uncut - v2.0 has now been released and is completed. Revisiting these maps has been a joy and I've been honoured to get to interface with the community again. This new version sees numerous and many bugfixes as well as total redesigns of many areas. Definitely check it out even if you've played the old version before. I consider this the definitive Surface Tension Uncut version.
Introduction:
This community project was created to remake the sections of Surface Tension which were cut from Black Mesa. I strongly felt that the omission of these chapters (namely the map C2A5F from the original Half-Life) strongly harmed the storytelling element of the game, and lessened the impact of Forget About Freeman. Seeing all the battles between the aliens and the HECU in Half-Life was one of the most awesome features of both Surface Tension and C2A5F, and I felt it was something definitely missing from Black Mesa. It also tied the story together - it simply made sense in Half-Life's Forget About Freeman when the military decided to pull out, but it didn't really have the same effect in Black Mesa due to the lack of fighting between the military and aliens as observed by the player.
I've aimed to change that, by re-integrating the cut maps. The player will see a lot of fighting between the aliens and the HECU. I've redesigned the original maps from Half-Life from scratch and integrated them into BM's existing campaign. I've also modified Black Mesa's Gargantua chase a fair bit, to make it both less buggy and more exciting. This mod is an add-on to Black Mesa. When you install it, it adds 3 maps to Black Mesa's Surface Tension chapter, which slot in naturally with the rest of the campaign. It must be added to an existing installation of Black Mesa, and as such requires Black Mesa to work.
Implementation:
The three maps are now complete. They tie seamlessly into Black Mesa's campaign and are AT THE VERY LEAST (I feel!) the same quality as the rest of Black Mesa. I've made very careful considerations everywhere and with the extensive help of the community, created a balanced, fun, exciting, and varied experience. In my eyes, Surface Tension now has a fitting finale consistent with the extremely high quality of the rest of the chapter.
My maps tie in seamlessly with the main Black Mesa campaign. If you install my maps and overwrite BM's existing files, your Surface Tension chapter will be SEAMLESSLY expanded to its original Half-Life 1 length using my maps. You move seamlessly from the Black Mesa dev designed sections of Surface Tension, into mine, and back to their maps again for Forget About Freeman. I've done my best to make it a seamless transition experience.
Here's a brief description of the way in which my expansion works:
- Black Mesa's Surface Tension comprises of the maps C2A5A --> C2A5G;- C2A5G is the final map of ST in Black Mesa, which is where the chapter was heavily cut from its Half-Life 1 version. The Gargantua chase was merged with the "vent drop" scene, and all of C2A5F from Half-Life 1 was cut here. They cut C2A5F out and merged the map with the Garg chase.
- My maps range from C2A5G --> C2A5I.- This expands ST by 3 maps.- My 3 maps are basically a re-make of Half-Life's C2A5F, but dramatically expanded, changed, and hopefully, improved.C2A5I is Black Mesa's Gargantua Chase, but re-imagined slightly.- My maps flow seamlessly into one another and connect seamlessly with the main campaign.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: How does this affect my Black Mesa campaign, or more specifically, Surface Tension?A: My map expands gameplay in Surface Tension by 30 - 45 minutes. It ADDS to what's already there. None of Surface Tension is affected aside from C2A5G, which in Black Mesa's version of Surface Tension, is the very last map.
Q: I see you've included the first map of Forget About Freeman in your release. Why? Do I have to install it?A: If you want the maps to link up with the rest of the campaign, then yes. It's to do with the way Source handles level changing. Linked maps must contain references to one another. Forget About Freeman's first map (C3A1A) originally had links to C2A5G (the last map of ST under the BM Dev Team's version). With my extensions, Forget About Freeman is now linked to C2A5I (which under MY version is the last map of Surface Tension). I didn't change anything else on Forget About Freeman aside from the map linkage. You don't HAVE to install it, but C2A5I will crash once you complete it if you don't.
Q: Will this be integrated into Black Mesa properly, or remain a fan project?A: I don't know! If the devs approach me asking if they can use my stuff, I'm sure as heck going to say yes! I'd be very proud if something like that were to happen. But I have no plans to approach them.
Q: Why was Surface Tension cut so badly?A: The mapper left halfway through the project, and there are probably other reasons too. Either way, I don't blame the team. The rest of Surface Tension was actually brilliant, the biggest problem was it didn't have a fitting end like it did in Half-Life 1.
Q: How do I install this?A: Read the readme.

2) On a Rail Uncut - Full Beta (by TextFAMGUY1):
Mod Current Status: Beta 2 has been released and is available for everyone to download! With the release of Beta 2, and my joining the Black Mesa Dev Team, as well as getting a new job, I no longer have the time to work on this mod, sadly. Sorry guys. I still consider On a Rail Uncut Beta 2 to be the finest piece of work I've ever created, and despite some of its problems, I'm still really damn proud of it, and more than happy to call it a "finished product". I may come back to it one day, depending on how things turn out - but probably not. Thanks guys, it's been a helluva ride!
Introduction:
Hi there everyone,
I created the Surface Tension Uncut chapters, which can be found here on the Black Mesa Forums, and here, on ModDB. If you haven't checked them out already, please, take them for a spin! They re-add the cut areas of Surface Tension with great detail and love.Though it was a long and difficult project, it did not fully satisfy my mapping/creative appetite, nor did it satisfy my desire to have Black Mesa as the most complete re-creation of the Half-Life experience as possible. That's why I've moved on to this contentious, divisive chapter from the Half-Life universe.
You can find OaR Uncut here on ModDB.
OaR was about the journey to the rocket (it's supposed to be a fairly "epic" one - hence why Gordon had to use a tram, instead of just walking!), and Black Mesa's OaR kinda missed the point of that - the actual straight line distance between the first map of Black Mesa's OaR and the actual rocket launch center was approximately 300m (and that's a VERY generous estimate, based off of a measurement done with Hammer, under the premise that 1 unit = 1 inch).
Implementation:
I am quite deep into development of OaR Uncut at this point - the first 2 maps (of 4) are almost ready for alpha testing, and the first media release has been done. My redesign principles mirror that of Black Mesa's - I am attempting to streamline and refine the layouts of the missing maps from HL1 to avoid player confusion and make it overall a more fun experience for everyone involved.
Oar Uncut, once completed, will be released in 2 flavours: Lite and Full. The Lite package adds 2 maps to On a Rail: A1 and A2. Black Mesa's OaR had 3 maps by default: A, B and C. A1 and A2 come after A but before B. The Full package will include A1, A2, B1, and B2, restoring On a Rail to its original HL1 length, hopefully without any of the tediousness or frustration. This way, there's something for everyone. Loved BM's OaR and how short it was? That's cool, this project isn't for you. Thought BM's OaR was too short but don't want it to be as long as it was in HL1? Lite package. Want it to be as long as HL1? Full package. Everybody wins!
Deciphering Map Jargon:
Okay, so there's a fair amount of map jargon involved in this project which people unfamiliar with Half-Life mapping may find confusing. I've written a quick and simple guide here explaining precisely what each map is, and how they correspond to one another.
All the filenames for On a Rail maps are prefixed with C2A2. "C2A2" means that the map is part of the "On a Rail" chapter. I've left this prefix out to make things less confusing, but bear that in mind.
Maps are named with letters corresponding to their position in the chapter. The first map of "On a Rail" would be called C2A2A, and the second is called C2A2B, and so on. For the purposes of simplicity, I will just refer to them as A and B. Black Mesa has 3 maps for On a Rail - A, B and C. My maps slot in around their maps. Half Life had 10 maps for On a Rail - C2A2, A, B1, B2, C, D, E, F, G, H. In the key below, I will show which Black Mesa maps will correspond with which Half-Life maps.
BM_ = Black MesaHL_ = Half-Life
BM_A = Mostly uses content from HL_A (roughly the 1st half), plus a few new, original sections created by the BM devs.BM_A1 = Assimilates the leftover content the BM Devs left out of A, with a little original content of my own. Also contains a side room from HL_B2.BM_A2 = Corresponds almost identically HL_B1 and HL_C. HL_C's Office Complex has been DRAMATICALLY expanded, so overall this map is a lot bigger.BM_B = Corresponds to roughly 1st half of HL_D, with an expanded Rocket Silo (plus new puzzle).BM_B1 = Will correspond roughly to the tiny missing portion of HL_D, and all of HL_E.BM_B2 = Will correspond roughly to HL_F and HL_G. Parts of HL_F and HL_G will be set outdoors, to add diversity to locales and to make things more interesting.BM_C = Corresponds to HL_H, but with a new, original 1st half.

Changelog:
25/08/13
==Beta 2 Release==
Released for the general public!
General-Includes hotfix for missing textures.-Fixed lots of "dark doors," and lots of rail z-fighting and bad connections. Not all bad connections are fixable because the bounding boxes of the rail models are misaligned, but there should be no serious flaws left.-Many, many miscellaneous and small fixes which I've forgotten to include. LOADS.-Replaced the Freeman graffiti with better looking, newer designs.
A Maps-Fixed weird bug where headcrabs by the crane room wouldn't attack the player.-Fixed weird visual bug where double doors down in the flooded tunnel had different lighting to one another.-Fixed bad visual bug in sprinkler hallway where the pillars had different height textures to the walls.-Added a window to the storage room in the office complex, so that it's a bit easier to see what's going on in there.-Moved the trigger for the corpse drag a bit further back to reduce the chance of the player breaking the scene by being able to see it moving on its own.-Few miscellaneous fixes to the security office.
B Maps-Rotated B by 180 degrees so that its now facing the "right" way.-Gave the 2 health chargers on the map a charge of 100. The charger by the Vort ambush needs 100 because it's going to be used by the player before AND after they open the boom gate, and its previous value of 75 just wasn't enough to allow the player to reach the turntable room comfortably. The charger in the turntable room needs 100 so the player can approach the turntable lift on full health, and after that fight can backtrack to get more health for the start of B2 if they wish.-Reduced the difficulty of the turntable ambush a fair bit by cleaning up the more frustrating elements. The old "backstabbing" Marine who would shoot you from behind, outside the 50 Cal's range now no longer does that, due to new boxes obscuring that sightline. Gave some of the Marines Shotguns to make your health disappear slower. Removed one of the Marines from charging into the room at the end of the battle, and reduced the health of the high up Marine from default to 20, to make him easier to kill.-Added HEV charger to the mat trans room at the start of B2, to make the fight in the warehouse easier. It was too difficult before.-Added a script which makes it so that if all the Marines die before the Guards to (rare, but possible), the Guards will die (think of it as blood loss!)-Rebalanced the spacing of outdoor combat even further. The Marines in the outdoor security office no longer charge out if you simply loop around the tracks on the tram, and instead only come out if you go near the security office. This makes it easier for players whose first instinct upon seeing the 50 Cal is to duck behind the tram controls and then accelerate forwards.-Moved the sentry by the electrical substation, to where the bundle of Ibeams is near the 50 Cal emplacement, for similar reasons to the rebalance above. A player rushing on the tram away from the 50 Cal no longer has to face that turret shooting them in the arse either, and in its new position it STILL covers the 50 Cal from being flanked.-Switched up the post switch ambush in the outdoor security office ever so slightly, so that the two Marines who don't rush you are in better positions.-Readded the "second sniper," to the tower, to give the illusion that the Sniper can cover his flanks as well. Added a script which makes it so that only 1 of those snipers can be active at once. Both die if you kill just one. This means that you can no longer just go around the side of the Sniper to avoid his fire, you have to play smarter.-Tweaked the flare scene a bit so that it falls faster, and no longer has the really loud firing sound.-Tweaked the distant convoy to make them slower, changed their distant sound, and also made their lights more transparent so they look less toy-like.
C-Rotated the silo in C by 180 degrees so that it's now facing the "right" way. Thanks .RK!-Added a post-launch song to the Rocket Launch. The scene is now set to play music/postlaunch.wav, 5 seconds after the rocket launches. However, no postlaunch.wav has been included with OaR Uncut. This leaves it up to the player's discretion as to whether or not they want a post launch song. If you want a post launch song, rename any song of your choosing to postlaunch.wav, and put it in the music folder. I find that "Guitars and Riffs" from HL1 works brilliantly with that scene (Half-Life03.mp3 in the game's files). I recommend it highly.
21/08/13
==Beta Release==
27/07/13
==Alpha B2==
-Alpha release of map BM_C2A2B2, the final map of OaR Uncut, thus making the project complete to an alpha standard.-Updated some small elements of B1 (it still isn't even close to beta standard, I just fixed some simple problems), namely:-Fixed the "SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE!" sound originating from the guard.-Fixed some horrible texture transitions present in the turntable room.-Found a fix for "Lights Out," not resuming in its original position upon loading a save game, and instead abruptly stopping. This fix will also be applied to The Year of Death on the beta release.-Fixed the Freight Elevator at the end of the map so that both floors have a "call elevator," button, preventing the player from being able to strand themselves.
26/03/13
==Alpha 1B1==
Alpha release of map BM_C2A2B1, first map of the Material Transit System.

3) Vent Mod Version 2.2 (by Erik Loyd a.k.a. .RK):
Hello everyone and welcome to the Black Mesa Vent Mod. I'd first like to say thanks for downloading and I hope you enjoy this small addition to the Black Mesa gameplay experience.
Please be warned that this is currently a work in progress. The areas and gameplay you see over the course of this mod are not indicative of what the final product will be like.
Introduction:In the original Half-Life, the player ventured back underground after barely escaping the surface bombardment in the latter half of the We Got Hostiles. This manifested in a vent maze that we behind the scenes of already explored areas. However, this was not very well received, (seriously, they suck) and rightfully so as to navigate a maze with a movement speed of such a slow pace, and added to that the fact that the vents themselves were very boring, this was for the most part left out of Black Mesa. Instead the run from the military was more hallways.
There is also a problem in Black Mesa's implementation of We Got Hostiles in that, spacially speaking, there is a huge descrepency. Over the course of the chapter, the player travels at least five stories up in altitude, but only comes down one at the end of the chapter, resulting in the same areas being much higher up the second time around. This is actually the bigger reason on why this Mod is being made.
Vent Mod aims to deal with both of these problems in a fun way. It will make both the vents interesting, get rid of the maze nonsense, as well as solve a spacial error. The mod achieves this via editing the stock maps bm_c1a3a and bm_c1a3c, as well as adding in a new bm_c1a3d map to accomodate most of the new material.
Disclaimer:I am in no way affiliated with the Black Mesa development team. The only thing I have done is built upon their work.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage that may come about through the installation of this mod. Therefore, you are downloading this at your own risk and you are accepting any flaws that may be present therein. If you feel the need to go back to the stock black mesa maps, simply make a copy of the map you will be replacing.

4) Loop Mod Final Version (by Erik Loyd a.k.a. .RK):
Hello everyone and welcome to the Black Mesa Loop Mod. I'd first like to say thanks for downloading and I hope you enjoy this small addition to the Black Mesa gameplay experience. I am grateful to have had support for the project so far and it's safe to say it would not have reached this point had there been no interest in it.
Introduction:As many people have pointed out, there was a lot of cut content to the On a Rail chapter. What was ten maps in the original Half-Life was cut down to just three maps. The first map tried to capture the essance of A, the second caputured D, and the last map covered H. This left B1,B2,C,E,F, and G in the dust.
While there is another mod in progress that restores those six maps, A is still lacking in the Half-Life flavoring department. This area was about figuring out the transit system, getting the bearings, and eventually setting a correct course towards the rocket. This made use of loops, which were missing from Black Mesa in part because their counterpart in the original game was too confusing for many people.
Loop Mod aims to restore this looped gameplay without replicating the headaches of the original, via careful editing of the On a Rail map bm_c2a2a. It does this by taking advantage of some of the pre-existing layouts, adding a new section of track, and also providing adequate indicators of where the player needs to go. This will make the alteration easy to understand.

6) Patched Maps (Surface Tension Uncut Base) (by Phillip Frasquieri A.K.A.: Mr. GameCrazy);
7) Closed Captions Update v1.32 (by Phillip Frasquieri A.K.A.: Mr. GameCrazy):
"As you already know from my post on the Black Mesa Forums, the new versions of the Closed Captions Update are here! It was painstaking process of finding each error and editing and compiling them to make sure they were working properly. After finishing that out and before releasing it, I noticed on Dadster's Closed Caption Update thread that there was a patch by the translation community that included the VOX lines and patched maps resolving the lack of captions in Inbound and several missing captions in the last map of On a Rail. I decided to add that into my update as well.The 2 bases include patched maps for the Inbound chapter (c0a0a - c0a0c), the last On a Rail map (Patched version of TextFAMGUY1's maps (B1 & C) are also included in case you have OaR Uncut installed), map c2a5g for Surface Tension, the first Forget About Freeman map to resolve captions bug (ST Uncut Base uses patched version of TextFAMGUY1's map), a game_sounds_manifest.txt file (one of them modified to be compatible with Surface Tension Uncut), and a game_sounds_ambient_generic_cc.txt file for the scripts.The captions updates include more corrections and fixes for the captions and new captions for the VOX lines. Several of them also include a scenes.image file to make more than one mod work properly."

v1.07: Modified the same line on Update #6. It will now say "<clr:255,200,0>** Attention! This... <clr:180,144,76>[garbled noise] <clr:255,200,0>...sys<clr:160,128,96>tem now under military command. **"

This... <clr:180,144,76>[garbled noise] ...sys<clr:160,128,96>tem now under military command. **" to make it seem like the HECU VOX has taken over the Overhead VOX in the middle of the word "system".

29) Classic Shotbox for Black Mesa v2 (by Sludge Trudger, Old Hermit & Game Zombie):
"This skin pack is a remake of the Half-Life 1 shotgun shell box. It was inspired by Old Hermit's 'Gun-Nut Ammo Box' release, and was made with his assistance.
Features:
* v1: Minimalist redesign of the classic Half-Life 1 shotgun shell box with the shotgun shell changed to a company logo and the text in the yellow bar to a company name.* v1: New high-quality model by Game Zombie featuring accurate-to-game shell count.* v1: Prebaked ambient occlusion.* v1: A redesign that pops out but does not stand out.* NEW in V2!: All new shaders for the shotgun shells inside the box. No more ugly painted-on lighting. With the power of phong, the shotgun shells have nice reflections.
Thank you to Old Hermit for assisting in the creation of these new shaders in v2, and especially thank you to Game Zombie for the modifications to the model to support multiple .vmts.
2048x texture with 660 tris, texture by WallyTheUrotsuki, model by GameZombie, with some assistance by Old Hermit."
30) Improved full moon (by Strelok):
"It was a tedious process to get the texture to work well, but at last I replaced the default moon from the mod, this one is also smaller. the bms dev team should consider adding some of the fixes posted in the site, I?ll add this to the bundle of improvements I posted in the skin section as well later on."
31) Improved Vista (by Impetuous):
"I've always thought that the vista you see in Surface Tension was stunningly beautiful, but was slightly red in colour. After a lot of fine-tuning, I managed to make it consistent with the rest of the landscape in Black Mesa; more brown/orange, less red. Features: - Skybox colour scheme matches map textures - Better blending between skybox and map."

52) Nostalgia Sound Pack Remastered - Environment (by khyypio):
DESCRIPTION:"*** UPDATED September 2017. Presentation video partially outdated ***
- H.E.V. sounds from HL1- tram announcer now sounds like it?s coming from a speaker- flashlight, ammo/battery/health/weapon-pickups- there?s more, I just can?t remember them anymore…- Now this mod more easily compatible with other mods. - Pay attention to certain VO?s J- Visit Xen room- Visit certain little lab in Anomalous Materials and enjoy the 90?s!- ALSO, I changed a few sounds that are not related to HL or even nostalgia. Don?t worry, you?ll like it… or at least you won?t hate it.- I gave VOX a little noise removal treatment, added a nice echo and edited switchover a bit.
This sound pack tries to imitate original Hal-Life?s atmosphere. It changes sounds that are tied to their environment such as ambient, alarms, announcement system, retinal scanners, buttons, etc. Also, many item sounds are changed. Each and every sound has been cleared from hisses and scratches and heavily edited. Don?t worry about sound-quality, just watch the video.
- about 30 ambience sounds- 8 alarms- Retinal scanners, locked doors- 8 buttons- VOX and tram announcements- chargers- medkits, batteries, ammo- elevators, doors, some fans
This mod will be updated, at the latest when Xen is released.
P.S. Constructive criticism and suggestions are always welcome. You don?t have to tell me if you don?t like or don?t want to use this mod, it?s useless information for everyone.
Credits goes to Valve and Crowbar Collective."
53) Nostalgia Sound Pack Remastered - Monsters (by khyypio):
"*** UPDATED September 2017. Presentation video partially outdated ***

Each and every sound has been cleared from hisses and scratches and heavily edited. You?ll definitely recognize all monsters from Half-Life but with a nice little spice-up ;) Don?t worry about sound-quality, just watch the video. Following enemy-types?sounds were changed- Headcrab: Changed the bite sound, otherwise just a noise clean-up and a sample rate- change- Houndeye- Vortigaunt- Bullsquid- Controller- Gargantua- Zombie: I couldn?t find a way to make original Half-Life?s zombies to sound good so I used HL2?s poisonous zombie-sounds.- Turrets: you?ll recognize a familiar beep. I also changed mechanical sounds and switched firing-sounds for more ballsier ones so they wouldn?t sound like they were bought from your neighborhood toystore.
This mod will be updated, at the latest when Xen is released.

61) Half-Life 2 Zombie Sounds (by Keltur):
CREDITS:Creator:Valve Corporation - Audio;
62) Valve-style World Sounds (by Keltur):
"This mod replaces many of the Black Mesa audio effects to make them more closely match those heard throughout the Half-Life series. Sounds replaced include the following types:
- Buttons
- Doors
- Elevators
- Alarms
- Machines (including notable ones like the Lambda Core, Anti-Mass Spectrometer, transit system, etc.)
- Environmental (flames, sparks, creaks, portals, etc.)
- Ambience (almost every soundscape is changed).
- And much more!
This mod is meant to inject a dose of Half-Life 1 familiarity into the acoustic environment of Black Mesa while simultaneously (and more importantly) making the game sound much more consistent with other Valve Source games--like notably Half-Life 2. However, not every Black Mesa sound that meets one of the categories above was replaced, because either the sound is too good to replace and/or no Valve sound exists to replace it. Also, this mod is *not* meant to be a pedantic replication of every possible Half-Life 1 sound (and the places in which they're heard), so please don't expect that."
63) BM Particle Effect Improvement pack (by DsD):
"This first collection contains improvements to the following particle sets:
Glock-Brighter and punchier flash, added a bit of smoke, and increased presence of the sparks from "wait there are sparks" to "slightly visible"
Magnum-Punchier and more centralized flash as opposed to the old mess of random flares, added a quick flaming sprite on the muzzle, prettied up the initial smoke puff, added a smooth rope-based smoke trail
MP5-Brightened up the flash, added a slight blue tinge to match the third-person flash, also added some smoke
Shotgun-Larger and punchier flash, added some small round particles to simulate buckshot bits, more/brighter sparks, smoke transitions from quick thick puff to wispier residual stuff more smoothly and naturally, wispy smoke moves and behaves a bit more naturally
RPG-Added a big initial smoke puff to the flash, residual muzzle smoke is a bit darker and wispier, projectile trail is now rope-based (more consistent and natural)
Tau Cannon-Added a muzzle flash (there wasn't one at all!), added lots more flavor and spice to the projectile impact while reining in some of the wilder and uglier orb-scattering
Gluon Gun-Initial shockwave is shorter and punchier, and now emits a quick burst of flickering orbs, flickering orbs around beam are larger, more numerous, and twist around to mirror the energy coil
Hivehand-Muzzle flash is based more around goopy liquid, projectile trail spiced up with some neat black-glowing-white bits, projectile impact now emits some buzzing orb-things, more natural -looking goop, and has a brighter, punchier flash
Stationary turret-Vastly improved muzzle flash mostly along the lines of the third-person MP5 flash, also uses way fewer particles
Generic impact-A lot more punchy and forceful, transitions into residual smoke which is a bit thicker but doesn't last quite as long, slightly larger
Metal impact-Added a bit of quick, dark smoke, brightened, enlarged, and shortened the flash
Flesh impact-A bit more emphasis on the misty stuff (more visible at a distance)
Human/alien gib effects-Added some mistsmoke to the main explosion, re-aligned the big fluid things to more clearly reflect a 360-degree explosion, added lots more detail to the bleed-out attached to gibs
---
One of the things I would very much like to improve is the basic explosion you see for e.g. all types of grenades, but this appears to still be the pre-2007 hardcoded explosion, meaning there isn't really anything I can do about it unfortunately
If I ever get this very un-fun bug worked out then an optimized and improved world effect set for Unforseen Consequences will be next up, which should hopefully also include other minor things here and there (possibly more improvements to the stuff in this pack)."
64) Classic Style Marines V2 (by sgtpieman):
"Despite the name and avatar change, yes, I'm sgtpieman. The guy that made the first version of this mod and the joint ops packs (though the second one I got a lot of help from M3_Lucky_Charms. If you're still out there, thanks again.
After... what? Three years? The update I once mentioned in passing to the Half-Life style hgrunt skin for Black Mesa is finally here! What all changed?
Well the camo is no longer so blurry for starters. I also changed the straps on the armor to have a tan color again. I can't remember why I made them greyscale back then. Also around the underarms and upper chest there is some very faint evidence of sweat. Also some minor dirt and grime was added all over the body, though for the most part it's just barely noticable. The gibbed body also got a new texture to be up to date with the changes the main texture file got. Technically the balaclavas are still in this file, though it'll take someone else to figure out how to change the helmets the marines wear in the steam release. Not everything is set up quite the same way as the mod from 2012, but if anyone can get it done it's the folks over at Facepunch. They already got V2 of the Joint Ops pack working.
Also, another fellow has uploaded the original Half-Life style grunts I did on the workshop already. So if you like that version better, then give it a download."

"If you've ever played the PS2 version of Half-Life you might remember the longjump having an awesome sound play whenever you'd use it. I wanted to give a shot at making some old sounds higher quality and I remembered that I replaced my longjump sounds in black mesa with the low quality 11k Gearbox one, so i fiddled with it for a while and got it to sound acceptable and it became this."

72) Updated Improved Xen for Free Black Mesa 2012 (Vladislav Lisovichenko aka zloikot):
"Improved Xen is a modification for Black Mesa game. It gives you an opportunity to immerse yourself into original and improved locations of Xen world from Half-Life. Black Mesa itself is a modification in an earlier version and a commercial game in the present tense, so I divided Improved Xen and developed it for both versions of Black Mesa. Black Mesa 2012 works on Source 2007 base version. It was first time used in Ep. 2, Portal and TF2, but now it’s quite an old engine. Comparing to Source version 2013, the old one has lots of defects and bags in the optimization. But the fact is, those games got an update to the new version of the engine later, and Black Mesa 2012 didn’t."
