Getting Maps from Opposing Force

[archvilell]

Where would I find the maps from the original Opposig Force? I was hoping to use sections of certain maps in the intro of my mod. I have downloaded and installed HL1 and OF.

You can get decompilers, but directly copying parts of their maps into yours would probably be a bad idea in a legal sense. Your best bet is to decompile, look at the designs, and create something that resembles the parts, but differs quite a bit.

You can also get BSPViewer and GCFScape.

(The download links don't work. Just google.)

GCFScape allows you to extract the maps and BSPViewer allows you to see what entities are used.

Alrighty. Thanks for the links Thing. I've already got GCFScape, but I'll look in to the BSPViewer.

Good call, AL. I hadn't thought of the legal boundaries I would be crossing. Dang legal stuff gets in the way . Anyway, I think I had better redo it anyway, as Hammer won't have any of the textures and the Osprey-type plane will have to be an entity that I make in Maya and import.

Oh crap, I just had a thought. I would have to make all new character models too. I would need to remake the Marine grunts that are in the plane with Adrian. Well, do you suppose I could use the Marines from HL1? I don't know if the model will be the right format and whatnot, plus it would look kind of bad to be a HL2 intro and have HL1 models.

I don't know if this idea will be feasable the more I think about it. I am having trouble making a gun that has a pretty simple design. I might need to start thinking of a new intro to my mod. The G-Man bit will stay (I think I can mimic the G-Man well enough), but the flashback scenes (which is why I needed the maps in the first place) might have to be changed.
