About:
Slimy Situation is a mappack created for and is the first place winner of the "TWHL - Whole Goop Life" competition. The goal of the competition was to utilize toxic waste we know and love from HL in a creative way and my main goal was to create fun situations using it.
I tried creating unique scenarios, like trying to save a friendly NPC in a set time limit in one map, and using the green goo theme in every corner, in meaningful and fun ways without overdoing it. I would have changed a ton if I had more time while the contest was going on, but I'm pretty happy with the end result regardless. I will share it as is without any alterations for now, though maybe I can do some improvements in the future. I hope this will be a fun experience for the players.
Creating this pack wasn't a fun ride, during development I got covid and came down with regular flu a week after getting better, which made me almost give up. Needless to say, I couldn't add everything I wanted and detail the architecture like I had planned due to this. Though, since I already prefer the old-school style, I (JACK)hammered away to create something creative instead of making brushwork that looks jaw dropping :)
Features:
- Four expansive maps to play.
- Fun scripted sequences to experience.
- Unique mini-puzzles to overcome.
- PsyWarVeteran

Are there 2 secrets or are there more?
Every map beside the final has a secret area.
Interesting so i missed one
Yoo, this mod case is actually pretty good but it does compatible with Xash3D. Very well.
Very neat mappack/mod, it's even better knowing it's fully compatible with the 25th anniversary update without any patches
Second map happend Goldsrc Engine overflew sometomes.
Other maps are fine but only second map overflewed
I hope this mod will win :>
I tried to play hard mod !
Enjoyed playing it! Very nice brushwork (especially the first map), a lot of fun scripts, nice boss fight too. The "head" scientist...I lol'd :D
I passed everything from almost the first try on medium difficulty (died once or twice from the enemy). As soon as I was aware of the timelimit on the first map I didn't waste my time, although I panicked a bit running around but it seemed I was still far from the limit. The outside section with two buildings seemed rough compared to other maps but I read about your condition so it's fine. Hope you are well.
Some notes:
- one grunt on the outside map died near the rotating door so it wouldn't open, I thought I was stuck until I decided to gib the corpse (perks of being a mapper lol);
- the helicopter seemed to be silent for some reason;
- the maps in general are silent (need more ambient sounds);
- died on the outside map, all sounds began to play at the same time again after loading (I recall it has to do something with "not toggled" flag).
Overall 9/10 for sure.
I'm glad you liked it my friend. Your observation is correct, the first map was the first one I started working on so it has more details and cool stuff in it while the outside map was the most rushed one out of all and the last one to be finalized. I was burning up with fever while creating those two buildings :)
Regarding sounds, maybe you played with low audio or don't use headphones? Because I specifically tried adding ambient sounds in every map and even played with the helicopter sounds to make it play lower while underground and higher once you reach to the top, that map also has wind ambience if I recall correctly. Others have droning, machinery and fluorescent lamp hums as ambient sounds.
It's still possible I missed the mark here and there though, testing the thing was hell and while playing later I spotted mistakes I was sure I had solved, so anything is possible.
Interesting, perhaps something went wrong with my game installation then. Like the helicopter was silent too...while other things not. So I don't know.
Very fun little map pack, enjoyed it throughout. You are clearly a talented mapper :)
