@@Gofishefurwitz both ships in entirety are func_pendulum entities

@@woodyTM Holy crap@! I kind of forgot that was even a function, might be fun to use for a smaller ship. I like learning new tricks for goldsrc

There's a million and ten ways to spin this idea, as far as i can tell no one has done this before and i didn't realize that people would end up actually having any interest at all. With that in mind, i wanted the successful teleport to be more of a surprise that it worked rather than just a perfect teleport. Every event in Half-life basically ends up a shitshow of unfortunate events and i didn't feel too keen on dumping the ENTIRE sequence along with all the dialog. Quite frankly it wouldve been 100x easier to just have made it work perfectly and skip the dialog and the "drama" The second issue is that with no malfunction occurring at all, Breen wouldn't be informed of Gordon's return so that's one more story element (among quite a few) that would require alternative ways of resolving

@damsen978 Her true loyalty was always elusive to me, though I cannot exactly say with certainly what her deal was. Maybe she really was working for the Combine, but she decided to turn on Breen at the end after he threatened to send Eli Alyx and Gordon through the Combine portal. Either way I think it could work for a mod like this.

i cant unhear it now

I can hear "alhamdullilah" it means "God bless"

I can't remember exactly, but I talked briefly with reepblue about puzzle game prototypes and such around this time; which also led me to getting permission to utilize the "Hammer Notepad:" title so I could use it for my playlists. I know for sure that for all my prototypes I exclusively used brush geometry. These are simply just steel studs, nothing inherently complex or unique and I assume the texture is probably from CS:S. Chances are I did copy the design aesthetics from Vectronic solely because I absolutely adored the 'behind the scenes' sneak peaks found in Portal. I also worked construction in real life so I thought it'd be fun to play around with that same idea of incomplete test chamber designs with exposed construction elements; potentially interrupting the testing experience. I had no real intentions of actually making this into a mod or game because this style and genre, as niche as it is, was beaten to death at the time. Besides, there were much more talented teams working on way better projects and I just wanted to see what I could do in a couple of hours. I do still have all the assets and map files, but honestly there's practically nothing going on in this prototype that isn't easily reproducible in a matter of 20 minutes or less. If you want to take this idea and make something out of it I would have zero objections; I would actually encourage it. I just warn you that it's relatively difficult to be entirely unique with these sorts of puzzle games which is one of my reasons for avoiding it all together. Especially since you can clearly see that around 90% of my puzzle mechanics and stylizing can arguably be considered stolen or "borrowed".

@@woodyTM Yeah, i get what you’re saying. Me personally i’m not trying to create something really unique, because as you said, most of the game mechanics could be arguably seen as stolen or borrowed. Although, i don’t want that to discourage me. I’d still like to make a decent sized mod, even if the mechanics aren’t completely original, intentionally or not. I plan for it to be a test of sorts, dipping my toes into my first actual mod, so i think it’s alright if it isn’t super unique. Later down the line i’ll (hopefully) come up with some unique game mechanic for another mod. So, if you sent over the assets/files that’d be great. I understand it’s not much, but i think it’d still help. If i’m understanding correctly youtube comments are usually deleted when you send a link, so do you have anything you could send it through, like discord? On an unrelated note, i thought it’d be funny to mention that the design of the door looks near exactly like what i was going to make for the chamberlocks! I thought that was interesting.

chzduke.bsp, It's a 1:1 scale replica of E1L1 I made. We are currently beta testing it. It's currently being hosted on A Cheezy Place (192.154.248.96:27025) it's in the mapcycle twice I do believe. We play quite frequently on there.

Here's the map. gamebanana.com/mods/466349
