The map stood the test of time and one of the rare outside level maps in the workshop. I also played The Detonator and Holokai Island those are great. Haven't had a look a Ruby Retriever and Lush Experiment yet, but those are also on my list.

Yeah, would definitely benefit from that. Sound contributes a lot to immersion

Thanks! No worries, I won't. Have been busy the last days and also worked on my own Half Life Alyx Campaign: Air Exchange - Chapter One - Escape the Lab. You probably already saw the teaser I made last year: ruclips.net/video/26pxcxsOj_M/видео.html It now expands over three maps instead of just one with an average playtime of over 1 1/2 hours for a first playthrough. Will be released "soon" (hopefully)

@@lambdarokh I'm looking forward to watching it!

Thanks for making this map. As a workshop map I think it stands the test of time very well. The whole lot of work you have put into it really shows.

Thanks! As far as I know he was on a hiatus recently but will return to upload maps. He has another channel here: www.youtube.com/@Skummeh2

Awesome! Great that it's helpful. It was good fun to play. I'm going to play your other map as well soon, I saw you made some updates there.

Thanks! The map was good fun to play - will play the others soon

No party without Jeff

Yeah, did it on purpose this time, since it is a public playtest. I provided the link to the map so that more players have a go with it and the creator gets more feedback (hopefully)

I got used to the game. By now I have 2468 hours in total (this includes the hammer editor). HL-A in VR it's about 1200 hours at this point. Have a look at what I did here: ruclips.net/video/ORelEJFT9Vo/видео.html

Thanks!

Awesome Mod! The filter works, I did as your instructions said. It is really dark, it was active through the playthrough. I had no other mod or cheat active

Thanks and you are very welcome.

Well done making the Gnome really annoying, I developed an inherent hate throughout and was relieved when I put it on that plate. Cool map!

Absolutely. This mod is a masterpiece.

Nice to see that my tutorial is of some use. I had those transition problems while making my own maps and like to share what I found out. Also you can encapsulate the trigger_changelevel with a trigger_transition where you can define a filter that controls what is going through into the next level. I had the problem that prop_physics and even particle effects got transitioned. I created a filter_name that filters !player - so only the player is transitioned. Probably I'll make another tutorial about that some day.

@@lambdarokh yea for whatever reason finding any real documentation on hammer is just rolling dice.

I had fun playing your map - really looking forward to the further development of it. Also glad to help.

@@lambdarokh glad to hear it! all i can ask for really. i look forward to adding more to it! already a pretty big update out on it if you end up looking for something to play.

They hide. It's a darker and gritty version of Half Life

Thanks!

Awesome! Looking forward to your final map.

Presumably the non vr mod comes with it's own configuration for the controls and overwrites the original one. I haven't played the non vr mod yet but my guess is that the cfg file is somewhere in the folders of the mod.

Glad I could help.

Unfortunately it is not so easy to port it. A lot of things have changed. I think it would even be easier to make Black Mesa compatible with VR. Just like the Half Life 2 VR mod. There already exists an early attempt but not with the official Steam Black Mesa Version: ruclips.net/video/mlnMz6KIW0s/видео.html

You campaign is just the best in the workshop. I will soon replay it and carry the Floppa to the end. The mines were certified terrifying in the pre-release version. They are more more fun now - still frighting thou. It's sad that his channel got removed, I enjoyed watching these videos and they helped to find other maps in the workshop.

Dude, why the downvote? I literally said that there will be another playthrough. You should feel bad now.

Thanks!

Danke Dir :)

I'm impressed by the outcome of using the pre-official tools. It's good fun to play.

This campaign is awesome!

Definitely a unique experience. Great work!

@@lambdarokh I meant finger mod

@@1Kamushek It's already contained in the VR Mod, the VR mod team added the achievement. I'm just using the Valve Index controller with finger tracking. It can also be achieved with controllers that don't support finger tracking. For that one only needs to hold up the hand and press the trigger button.

Well caught. It surprised me as well. My PC was working on it's limit (RTX2070, Ryzen 9 3900xt). I used full screen recording. It flickered and showed a random HL2 picture from my desktop. This happened throughout the whole recording. Meanwhile I upgraded to a RTX4090 and Ryzen 9 5950x and also use in-game screen recording instead of full screen. So this won't happen again, hopefully.

@@lambdarokh 32:21 also have that type of background, also have you been thinking about entering VR shooting competition?

​@@dyxieezeevasquallvanty8868 Yeah those hiccups sadly occured quite often. I haven't considered taking part in a VR shooting competition yet. Any recommendations?

@@lambdarokh actually i don't watch any vr content except you and "insurgency but in VR" i just really like Half life and source 2

Awesome! Sounds great.

Thanks!

I feel the same way when watching playthroughs from my own maps. Playtesting improves a lot. Okay, seems that I'll visit the beach again to find out what happens when I stay on that carpet a bit longer. Oh, and when you want the player to exit to the menu, you'll need a point_clientcommand entity, simply pass it the input Command with parameter map startup

@@lambdarokh hey, yeah it feels a lot better as a player to actually finish or quit the map öike going back to the menue. i have to learn that for upcomming maps. cheers.

Just had to have a go with the carpet Easteregg. Awesome! I love such things in maps.

@@lambdarokh Really? You spend real time just to see that? Wow nice, thats a bing thing for me. Great. Iam glad you liked it. Thank you!

It's genuinely scary

Thanks! I somehow made this map a block-out exercise. Great that you also make an entry, I'm looking forward to it. The jam is over™ - so not really over. Some more maps are still on the way.
