    HL2 Bullsquid Addition mod Beta 1.

    Hey all, This is my first 'real' go at coding, so there are bugs, hence the beta. What this does is allows the user to use the npc_create command via the console to create a Bullsquid in HL2 sp, and probably DM if its in the right directory. It currently uses the HL:S model, but im hoping...

    Monster Stalker Physics help.

    Not sure if this is a general editing question or a model and skins question, i'll put it here because it seems general, sorry if its in the wrong place. Im in a bit of a bind here, I wanted to see what everyone was on about with the stalker firing a laser, but as everyone knows, when they're...

    (WIP)dm_needsname - Formerly Industrial Canal.

    Hey all, Im very close to releasing my first map now, much has changed and keeping the old name of Industrial canal would be a bit wrong, considering the canal has gone due to errors and such (water sounds continually playing if you get killed underwater, not to mention the lag caused by the...

    (WIP) HL2DM Industrial Canal.

    (WIP) HL2DM Industrial Canal. (Working Title) Hey all, I've got to the point where my map is in a good shape to do some pimping. Its pretty small, 3 buildings (so far) which are gonna be the main focal point for the fights. Outside gives way to a dusky setting, the sun is going down, the...

    Super happy fun balls! Possible weapon spoiler.

    I've not saw a post on this and a search turned up nothing. I've saw people ask about the duration of the pulse gun alt fire mode, well there is a command that can make it carry on for ages, goto the console and type sk_weapon_ar2_altfire_duration # Im not sure if thats the right...

    Fun with turrets *Video*

    The only minor spolier is mainly the level (nothing major, a stretch of road on the coast) Sorry about the dodgy sound, it was done in fraps even when I said not to record sound. Software hates me ;( I tried to make another one without sound but in over 10 hours of trying they refuse to...

    Barnacles - The best revised creature?

    I just love them, the look a lot better than in the first game, and the fact that they will try to eat anything is cool. The joy of rolling a explosive barrel down into a set of 12 tounges, watching one grab it and then setting the barrel on fire and taking them all out is great. Also the...

    Something funny in the cache file.

    Open up the Half Life Source cache file with whatever you wanna use, take a look at doctor.jpg, it looks like Valve has put most of the original pre-release game models into here. Doctor.mdl is the original, chunky mother Gordon with a pistol, and he looks cool. Cant view him in the model...

    Annoying Opposing Force Bug - Please help.

    This has been happening since i got the game in the Shops, and now when im playing on steam. The Problem is in SP, while its not major it does take out a little realism from the game, for me anyway. When every anybody dies i get this message in the console: Sv_startsound: File <Filename...

    So I'm hallucinating?

    Not the first time i might add, but a bit more on that later on. The other day, i go to the Job center, to see if they have any work placements around, of course i get shunted off the machines when i find something useful and taken to 'My Personal Advisor' who i have never met before, so i get...

    Best movie death or "Kill"?

    Apologies if this has been covered, a search turned up nothing. Just a General question really, whats your best/your favorite death or kill scene in a movie? For me, i would say in True Lies, when Arnie gets the truth serum and he tells the torturer how he is gonna kill him, then does so. Or...
