[@okaravan]

It would be cool to have some mod, allowing to walk through Half-Life 2 in this frozen state. Like in Langoliers movie.

Welcome to singleplayer Garry's Mod.

[@kebab_hill]

@@FirstnameLastName-mr8lk bruh HLS is installed into HALF-LIFE 2 so it means your just opening HALF-LIFE SOURCE library as HALF-LIFE 2.

[@colbyjackextracheese6249]

also you should have shown that gman is replaced with gman from hl1

[@MondySpartan]

The opening sequence crashes the game as it was said, that's why it's never shown.

[@Yashirmare]

Gman shows up in places other than the intro.

[@elusivegaming754]

Except like he said before... monster_

[@colbyjackextracheese6249]

UranusRemixer He appears hidden in d1_trainstation_04 you have to noclip.

[@MateuszJasik]

Yup, also if you will try to run Half-Life: Source maps in Team Fortress 2, then security guards will be replaced with Barney.

[@snewpy6649]

The reason Dr. Breen's monitor doesn't work is because in order for a character to appear in monitors, they have to be somewhere in the game, so that means any model changes to Dr. Breen will appear in any monitors, this is because it is easier to just make them spawn somewhere than animating the monitors.

[@Noey145]

i thought it was a pre-animated + recorded scene as a video file?

[@All0utWar]

Noey145 No, the screens are actually a camera showing a small area that the NPCs are actually moving in.

[@snewpy6649]

They do this because it's cheaper to just place them somewhere than animating the monitors as well as easier to do. This happens in Portal 2 as well.

[@DogsRNice]

Also half life source lacks the camera and monitor entities

[@invalid_user_handle]

Pretty sure the reason they're not working is because the point_camera and func_monitor entities aren't in HL1S. At least, I don't think they are.

[@aco9880]

The fucking crowbar sound makes me go furious

[@launched_]

kappa guy I like it.

[@solarflare8669]

The lack of sounds, music and NPCS make this look like a horror map

[@eliel1815shadow]

well, it was originally planned to have many scifi/horror aspects, the early states of the game reflects that

[@cooperproductions3731]

Dear god... The silence it scares me

[@maxxycomet7324]

These maps can also run on Black Mesa Source. Idk about the Steam version.

[@peterw4910]

They should be able to run in the Steam version as it contains all of Half-Life 2's textures and models.

[@maxxycomet7324]

Maybe..

[@maxxycomet7324]

Btw, the Headcrab NPCs actually spawn in some chapters like Ravenholm, because they have the exact same files from HL2. And they'll still able to be picked up.

[@analanus3131]

Because it's a mod lol.

[@XeZrunner]

They also run in P1 Done P2 (Portal 2), though it's even less functional in terms of props.

[@monkeywithocd]

I'm surprised that one NPC operating the crane is in the HL:S files.

[@nixel1324]

She isn't. They didn't make a separate animation for her, but instead they posed a ragdoll in a static position. She's not an NPC, she's basically a prop.

[@monkeywithocd]

Huh, interesting. Still interesting that the model is in there, though.

[@nixel1324]

Much like all the other models in this video, it was ported over. That's the point.

[@monkeywithocd]

The video said he simply opened the maps up in HL:S, since a lot of the textures and the like were already in it. EDIT: when trying it myself I noticed that HL:S and HL2 use the exact same executable, and in fact you can load the maps in HL:S without even copying them over, so I guess it must to some extent be pulling from HL2's assets.

[@monkeywithocd]

The Deadly Gamers Ah, ok. I assumed that since I didn't see steam offer me the choice to change the drive to install to that it must have installed to the same directory as HL2. Didn't bother to look at the address when I was checking the files =P

[@DuckyQuackington]

now i wanna see somebody remake the entire half life 2 campaign with half life 1 textures and npc's

[@xyzzy-dv6te]

HL2 Classic, a WIP demake of HL2 in GoldSrc

[@jco_sfm]

So like the beta version that you can download...

[@garysanderson8968]

it does exist, but it's very ridiculous, examble: Barney with Metrocop mask in front of his face magically disappears after deactivating the cameras. Most importantly: Barney's wearing Black Mesa security uniform and Combines don't give a shit about it.

[@pppetz]

But can you run half life 2 maps in Titanfall 2?

[@czarnakoza9697]

cant wait for a creepypasta about the empty city 17 (or even a horror mod)

[@swelteringaction]

I think the reason that the first map in the game will crash the game is that HLS is missing thr HL2 "credits.txt" file for that map. Missing it will make the game crash for some reason. Yes I know this video is 8 years old.

[@connorvaughn7968]

it looks exactly the same... So the only real difference between the two engines are physics and items/models?

[@Kernowparadise]

I'm still trying to figure out why HL:S has HL2 textures tucked away in its files. My only guess right now is maybe they literally just got HL2 and shoved all of the HL1 stuff on it to make it run on the Source engine because they got lazy.

[@peterw4910]

kernowparadise Most likely. Other Source engine games have HL2's files and even code in them as well. Portal literally has all of the NPCs and weapons from HL2 that can be spawned in through the console.

[@Kernowparadise]

So basically every other Source game is pretty much another version of Half Life 2?

[@peterw4910]

kernowparadise Pretty much. They use it as a base.

[@Kernowparadise]

I'm not even sure on what to call that; clever or lazy.

[@electronus97]

Bloated. You call it Bloated, and lazy.

[@randomcatdude]

Half-Life 1 NPCs will spawn, but Half-Life 2 NPCs aren't in Half-Life: Source's DLLs, so they won't appear.

[@nixel1324]

Did you know that HL2 uses the same .357 model as _stock_ Half-Life? They didn't even bother using the HD pack's remaster. This means that Half-life has a more detailed magnum than it's sequel years later.

[@PebsBeans]

[@Klonoa1488]

The NPCs use monster_ instead of npc_

[@lineriderrulz]

Makes me wonder if it might be fun to play HL2 with HL:S weapons... It could be more complete if you port the sounds over, recompile the maps with NPCs renamed where applicable... But still you'd be missing combines, citizens etc. And some parts of the game are probably literally impossible to pass without the gravity gun, although same could be said for the cutscenes anyway.
