Improved Xen is a modification for Black Mesa game. It gives you an opportunity to immerse yourself into original locations of Xen world from Half-Life, but with improved graphics and optimized geometry. At the moment Improved Xen is supported by me - Vladislav Lisovichenko (zloikot)

Black Mesa: Improved Xen v1.0

Black Mesa: Improved Xen v1.0


The only difference between these two resources is the way of installing the mod. During 7 years I made 7 versions of Improved Xen, which is a big number for this kind of work. You can see the evolution of the mod since its early version till now, and how Black Mesa influenced it. It was an amazing and exciting experience for me, and I share the result of my work with you, as usual. I tried to take the best materials from Black Mesa 1.0 to bring new spirit into my own mod. However, some things will not be changed because I have my own vision of Xen, and try to fallow the canonical Half-Life style.

In my opinion, even the latest version of Black Mesa still has some flaws and it is quite unstable. I faced them while adapting and updating my mod to its new version (1.0). I was surprised, because I expected to see more polished version of BM, than it is now. But the quality of Black mesa is the highest now, compared to all period of its development. I am sure, that all future BM updates will not destruct my mod anymore, and I put a lot of afford to avoid this possible problem. I hope you will enjoy my new Improved Xen. Meanwhile, you can monitor the news about Azure Sheep Remake, I am involved in its development too.

Thank you! I did not manage to lay out the mod on March 29, but I think that a small delay is not terrible)

Я так понял, на пиратку этот мод вообще нельзя установить?

Чувак, хелп. Я вроде бы всё поставил короче. Все файлы просто перенёс в bms. Я не стал удалять дефолтную папку bms. просто наложил все файлы поверх неё. У меня есть ксен. Но проблема с физикой чёт. Она не действует. В ксене там невесомость какая-то должна быть, а у меня всё обычное как бы, как на Земле. И Гордон он, собственно, даже до первой летающей платформы не долетает. Не могу сойти с первой площадки. Прыгаю правильно, контрол плюс пробел. И если он шмякается на платформу, то сразу подыхает.

А если пиратская версия БМ, то куда файлы кидать из 0.1 версии?

файлы прямо в корень кидать? Scripts папка вообще находится в папке platform...
Первый раз мод просто ставлю на блэк мезу.
