The
Black Mesa
Ever
wondered what lurks down those dark corners in the Black
Mesa... those ones that you just can't reach
or squeeze through? Those funny noises that you can't
figure out. See the full scale clear-up by the military
from behind the scenes. New
Looks... New Weapons... New Enemies... New Maps... New
Deathmatch Battle Grounds!
This 'Single Player'
mod will be called 'VDC' [Very Different
Circumstances]. Half-Life VDC starts of in a
Research Lab in the Black Mesa. It is much more hi-key
and is on Level 6 of the Mesa Facility. When
Gordon's antics go off, the team in the lab gets affected
very badly. You become a new character called 'Chris
Nurding' one of the research scientists. Another dangerous
adventure starts.
Progress?
Well...
I have been working along on the story line for about
5 months. A lot of my work has been learning C++ and
what does what in the Half-Life source code.
This
isn't going to be a small mod! When its finished it
will be huge! I have lots of work to do on the music
and effects aspects of the mod. So far I have been a
one man band, my good friend Craig has given me a lot
of good feedback. Mainly on what sort of environments
he would like to see. Most of my ideas are my own but
I read a lot of the feedback that comes from the gamers
out there.
Multiplayer?
I
love the way the Half-Life 1.0.1.6
plays on the net and LAN play is ohhhhha! I use a 56K
modem at the moment. That will be changing soon. I think
that I can optimise the multiplayer a bit but I really
don't know enough about the code yet. I have tweaked
the DUN [Dial-up
Networking] on my machine and that helps keep
my connection more stable but trying to speed up a 56K
is damn near impossible.
There
will be some new features that I would like to add to
multiplayer but they are still on paper. Same as the
rest of the Mod.
When?
Well...
I don't know. I guess when I'm happy that everything
that I wanted to see gets done. Maybe next Christmas
time? [2000] But we will see.
