A cut content restoration mod that takes on a whole new atmosphere. Is your will to survive... Stronger than theirs?
CONTAINMENT FAILURE +50 HOURS
You've aligned the CenCom satellite array & have lifted the lockdown, and proceeded into the reactor labs through the motorpool beneath the Communications Center. After a long descent, and 48 hours of hell, you've arrived at the vast & mysterious X-Labs, where the last surviving remnants of the science team have established a stronghold against the invading masses. The facility is caving in around you, the entire complex shakes as the military continues their strafing runs on the surface. Here, you must link up with the science team & use the advanced machinery & technology in the X-Labs to your advantage, eventually you'll find yourself at the launching tubes which will send you to the teleportation labs, even deeper into the facility...
Took some time to get the lighting scheme matched with that in the maindemo map from the 0.52 alpha, went for a bit of a light purple & teal coming off of that main light fixture. Map based off of "lambda1.jmf" included with Preliminary Freezings.
The X-Labs have always been an amazing mystery of the old version of Half-Life. Very scary!
Is it not basically the Lambda Complex under a different name?
Ahhh lambda complex was pretty similar to retail around the time of the alpha, just called the "Reactor Lab", as for the X-Labs, its unknown whether or not it was supposed to be a part of the Communications Center, or deeper in the labs after you've passed the Reactor Labs, its probably the least known about area that was cut from Half-Life, but looking at all the unused textures in the halflife.wad file with the "LAB_" prefix can give you a bit of a rough idea of how expansive & varied the X-Labs were supposed to be, about 2/3rds of those textures went unused in the base game.
I've noticed the many unused textures, but never knew that these were supposed to be used for a new part of the facilities named "X-Labs". How interesting. Maybe Valve removed them because a build-up for two Top-Secret facility areas (Lamba/X) would have been too much. Nonetheless, how nice to see you are adding these into the mod as well! As for the pic, the mapping/texture usage/lighting are simply superb. As expected ;) .
