- What did the old flooded silo look like before the water had came? What's the real purpose of the Ichthyosaur's
pool? What dark secret the c2a3b waters keep? All the answers are in The Flooded Silo Restoration Project!
Since I first played Half-Life when I was a kid, I always wondered how would Black Mesa look like without the accident. This section in particular always made me think. Thanks for doing this.
8:30 - Gotta love how Black Mesa had an opening to a thousand-foot drop without any guard railing. OSHA would have a field day if they were ever allowed into the facility. Lol
Black mesa is famous for having bottomless pits without security, even in the start of the game you see gus the forklifter near a bottomless pit moving boxes
Watching this reminded me how many OSHA violations Black Mesa has.
Technically this particular silo was built and run by the military.
@@GoldSrcFreeman what's your source for that?
@@dikkejos It's not Source, but GoldSuorce!
But seriously, I think it was mentioned by Marc Laidlaw (or maybe in the walkthrough for the Alpha) that Black Mesa got that old military facility. Also the official Prima Guide clearly says about "Cold War" facility. Also some textures for old furniture and very old computers have "FIFTIES" in their names.
@@GoldSrcFreeman oh, in that way. Yes that does make sense! Cool map nonetheless
Death pits are ESSENTIAL to a good work environment.
I never knew that the pool with second Ichthyosaur is so deep
awesome, I never even thought of this. Id love to see the whole game without resonance cascade lol
Me too!
Itd be really cool to just wander around a pre-disaster Black Mesa. No enemies no hazards, just a massive research facility and you inside it.
The only problem is that certain areas weren't really connected to each other via hallways. Remember how many times Gordon had to use vents and holes in walls?
@@honzabalak3462 You could still smash through vents. And you could bypass those areas with alternate paths that were blocked off, or the tram system that now would work.
I think we should all start a project about it 🤣🤣 Who's with me? 🤣🤣
Super cool concept of "repairing" parts of the facility. Keep it up!
Thank you! The next, I think, will be the Office Complex.
@@GoldSrcFreeman That's nice to hear, I still stand by what I said: If you are going to continue repairing maps it would make a great and unique mappack that allows you to explore Black Mesa all over again with a fresh coat of paint.
@@psywarveteran That would be cool, yes, to see something like Induction mod, but on a larger scale. Yet again it'd require a lot of work.
The Silo appears to be an old decommissioned section of Black Mesa, judging by the old equipment and rusted, worn out turbines and machines, etc. Not at all unlike the areas in On A Rail.
Yeah, i think this place was floded months, maybe even years before resonance cascade
Yes, the cage with the crossbow must have been added before the resonance cascade too. So they ran out of space for messing around with aliens and filled some with water...
The actual question is how the hell it got flooded?
POV: You're a maintenance worker one day before the Black Mesa Incident.
*Equipment doesn't work, lock breaks after touching, rust is everywhere*
Worker: "yep, everything as usual, check complete"
i think these silos, along with the old railway system, were abandoned
I very seriously doubt all of that very Earth-like water flooded these areas of Black Mesa as a result of the Resonance Cascade. Unless this area of Black Mesa shared this space with a very large tank of water that leaked out because of damage caused by the disaster.
@@TinyDeskEngineer It's Black Mesa. Of course there was a gigantic tank of water.
I’d love a Half-Life mod where it has the entire campaign but nothing wrong happens. Just you walking around between facilities as you would do in the actual game, but all in a clean state.
So we aint gonna talk how balve re-used the old blast pit silo from the alpha and make it flooded?
Hold on the silo looks like the original blast pit from half life alpha where the tentecles show up next to crack barney
Yes, it's the same geometry.
I FUKING KNEW IT
Black Mesa architects: "You know what we need next to the generator room? A giant fucking hole. Just, enormous, as deep as you can make it."
Osha nightmare
This is something I really appriciate, I don't know what it is but I find the industrial enviroments in half-life and half-life 2 just something awe inspiring
You can tell that this is all outdated and an older part of the facility that probably hasn't seen maintanence in decades.
Well, it's mostly because of all these rusty textures.
That's true, it is pre cold war
The lights hanging from the ceiling look so old. Like ww2 era
Isn't the place at 3:55 an actual shark tank before resonance cascade? I mean, there was a rusty shark cage and a crossbow, lets ignore the fact that the scientist there said that the ichtyosaur never swam on terrestrial water.
No it's the same place but the fish got there afterwards. I assume after it got flooded, the shark cage was prepared to kill the Ichtyosaur but no one had the balls or equipment to do so. It is also revealed in Opposing Force that the fish itself was being studied by the scientists much before the incident. So they knew it's anatomy, therefore they knew how to neutrilize/kill it as well.
this makes me think that the silo hasn't been in operation for a long time, and that some time before the events of hl1 it was repurposed as a marine research lab.
6:50 No joke, I've seen this exact place in my dreams multiple times before
That part of the video (and only that part) gives me a really creepy feeling. It's like one of those "oddly familiar places" videos, but I know I've never seen anything remotely like it. Maybe it's a liminal space, but I can't possibly see how.
as soon as he looked at those giant rusty things reaching into darkness i felt like either dreamlike or im remembering a distant memory from my early childhood
I haven't seen this place in my dreams (what are the odds of me jinxing it as I say it), but I did recall seeing two similar brown structures, and there was actually windows, it wasn't creepy at all.
But I actually did fall into the pit below, so yeah.
Come with me...~
And you'll be...~
In a WOOOOOORLD of OSHA Violations!~
The deep pool in original game has some bright glowing red strips on the bottom. I took time to dive down with cheats, since i assumed it was some kind of reactor or temporary nuclear waste storage. Nah, just glowing bars on the bottom of the deepest dive in the whole game. No nuclear damage.
I think things wouldn't be as rusty before the water came so maybe there is non-rusty textures to those generators. Otherwise, its a pretty nice project.
I think the water was in those places before...
@@wodekw6862 Yeah, it doesn't make sense for the machinery and piping to be covered in rust unless the area had been submerged in water long before the Resonance Cascade.
This is an amazing idea, hope you keep it up with other parts of Black Mesa
Hey man! I am super impressed! I was researching the topic of c2a3b and I found your video. Then I recognized your name. And on top of that, you might find it funny that I attempted this same exact restoration project some time last year. I was able to recreate the generator room and it took me a lot of time. You must have spent a ton of time on this. Would you mind sharing the .bsp file? Cheers!
That's interesting. For me it was maybe a week and a half (spent most of the time trying to recreate the original lighting style).
I think I'll upload the bsp's on Moddb soon.
@@GoldSrcFreeman Thanks! my next video is about this area. I'm going to link you in the description so people can check out your recreation video
I love predisaster mods. They make Black Mesa feel like a real place even though it's certainly not
I admit that before the incident cascade, at 6:29 is large and looks terrible for me. But after resonance cascade happen, those facility flooded and looks scarier for me. Well, i don't why, but yeah that's more terrible. Also for that "thing".
Such a great idea, thank you 👍
Imagine how nice and peaceful Lamda Core would look like, with this kind of recreation
7:00 the deepest hole in history of Half-life?
Ah, Freeman, we just use this to throw away trash
i'd love to see this done with the black mesa source maps too
Same.
I'm getting some serious classic Tomb Raider 2/3 vibes from this.
The lack of railings is astonishing
May i suggest you add some npc's?
Its kinda... creepy.
You are alone in a big facility. It makes you think "what happened to the staff? What make them leave?"
Simple: Nobody wanted to be around someone as bad at listening as Stanley. Or more likely, the Gman erased them and set Gordon free.
It's logical actually, this place wouldn't have a lot of people inside it, especially scientists.. maybe a few guards and maintenance workers, that's it
I think the bottomless pit was probably filled to the lower level before the cascade.
The only issue remaining is that the engines and mechanisms/pumps are still all rusty texturewise.
Excellent work!
I think thats because of those machines being built pre cold war, so they are at least 30-50 years old by the time of Half-Life
So cool, now I have to fight the desire to repaint the rusty walls properly so it would be like the day it was completed by some contractor that was probably shot by black ops right after.
This project reminds me of the three techdemo maps included in the Half-Life 0.52 Alpha, well at least that silo map.
Кстати, такие "восстановленные" карты можно использовать для Half-Peace
Да, действительно. Пока на очереди офисы.
So surreal.... seeing the Black Mesa Research Facility before the resonance cascade is... idk..wonderful?
Good video/idea my friend, really. Subscribed.
if this map is finished why not release it so we can all see how it would look like with our own controls?
I'd like to add some basic gameplay and release it later.
The Black Mesa design sure is complicated.
OSHA inspectors ain't even surprised that the resonance cascade happened
Who needs guard rails anyway :)
6:29 gave me a heart attack
Bruh black mesa what is this 💀
Hi. It was interesting to watch the video. I used to spend a lot of time investigating and exploring places in Valve's games. Good level design indeed. I would dive and reach the bottom of that pit, only to discover nothing, but I was curious. :) Are you going to update/open Nova Prospect and some dark places of the Citadel as well? Thank you.
Sorry, but I don't work with Source.
@@GoldSrcFreeman u only work with the golden grail of source
This is a very good recreation!, I didn't know it's a was a Silo... There's a link?
Thank you! I want add a basic gameplay and fix some problems before the release.
@@GoldSrcFreeman Oh, perfect!, I want a polished gameplay
Интересно выглядит, где-то читал, не помню где, что какой-то из мапперов Valve упоминал что его по приколу попросили "починить" разрушенную лабораторию, результат понравился, и так пришла идея добавить мирную главу до аварии в игру.
Кстати есть ли в планах доделать локацию в коридоре на 2 минуте? Который в оригинале засыпан, конечно там в оригинале тупик и что там должно быть неизвестно, доделка той области будет уже отсебятина, но все равно интересно было бы посмотреть что то за область могла быть, как и за закрытой дверью на 9 минуте. Из таких глав еще было бы интересно глянуть на лаборатории в Lambda Core.
Насчет того, чтобы доделать: разве что если это понадобится для какой-нибудь машинимы. Вот Лямбда уже гораздо интереснее в этом плане. Очень обидно, что они не стали показывать лаборатории, а просто позакрывали двери. Но это все, возможно, потом, а в следующем ролике я покажу что скрывалось в недоступной области Офисов (тот балкончик над столовой и дверь, куда уходил Г-Ман).
Not exactly the most accesible workplace for the geriatrics of Black Mesa.
Actually first part is a little bit wrong? Where is the seperation wall? And where is that platform which freeman elevated with barrels? Other parts was 10/10 good job
Others: Cool Repair Concept Keep That Up
Me: But I Want To See How They Got Destroyed And Abandoned In Other Words I Want Somesort Of Simulation Using Goldsrc
This is awesome dude!
so where does the train track go to does it connect to the reast of the rail system?
interesting to see there's no actual use for the silo infrastructure, the elevator looks prefab and they're just stacking boxes on each level
did black mesa run out of funding on the project it was a part of? did they just can it for production reasons? is it stuck in development hell? did they realize they only needed so many silos and mothball it?
reminds me of the vandenberg space complex or the north dakota pyramid, both abandoned as soon as they were completed
All these silos are left from the military. The whole Black Mesa built inside some old military base and uses almost all of it silos for different purposes.
Would love to see the whole game like this as if Freeman hadn't inserted the sample and none of the disasters happened.
Why does that look like Blast pit
What about the divider at the bottom of the silo?
Now what we need is a Black Mesa Version.
We don't talk about Black Mesa here...
@@GoldSrcFreeman Says Who? And i didn't say, YOU, Have to make one for Black Mesa.
The architect who designed this place must have been underpaid, and really hated the job they were forced to do under contract.
Always to learn something new! 😀
What is new about this? Its a map and it is not made by valve at all its a fan map and what is there to learn from this map?
@Scratchy its a fan made map tho
i think it would be better if the ichytosaur pool was actually just a huge storage (aka crate) unit, that would also explain that crane. As for that other ichytosaur pool which just has a giant void, i have no idea lol.
Large industrial water well pumps for cooling? Wastewater disposal?
Nice restoration Awesome map
Hello Gordon!
Did you make this from scratch or did you use the HL:S leaked vmfs?
I used both the Source vmf's and decompiled original maps.
I was asking if the maps a while back
Yes, I remember sorry for a delay. Here's the map sources link cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/781204105220849695/1046060082632331294/Deflooded.7z
@@GoldSrcFreeman yo thanks. Post some more videos we all miss you♥
@@GoldSrcFreeman may you please renew the link? :)
Всегда было интересно, что же представляла из себя сеть этих затопленых помещений. Может это что то типа насоса для системы водоснабжения Чёрной Мезы?
Огромная штука на дне в помещении, где клетка и ихтиозавр это генератор с турбиной. Возможно, эти помещения как-то связаны с ГЭС которая находится неподалёку. Но если без фантазии, то разработчики сами врядли продумывали эти посещения. Без воды они выглядят очень неестественно
Infra but in half life
will this ever be released to the public
Очень круто! Вот серьезно! Мне было очень интересно! 👍
Спасибо!
Замечательный видос! Напоминает чем-то half-life fact files от Murphy. Будешь в будущем что-нибудь подобное делать?
Спасибо! Дальше еще будут восстановленные области, но уже в рамках настоящей машинимы.
can i bribe you into making more of this?
Eventually I'll stop being lazy and make some new machinima. I hope.
@@GoldSrcFreeman all the best
It's very pleasant to watch how the simple FPS game about a crypto-psychopath who's dream about shooting living creatures came true is actually becomming so much more in fan's minds. Glory to HL community :)
Эхх, а реально был бы мод с black mesa до эксперемента, но видно никогда не будет
Вообще была идея сделать мод, где Фримену придется пройти по всему комплексу до каскадного резонанса тем же путем, что и в оригинале. Чтобы заглянуть в знакомые уголки Блэк Месы и посмотреть, как там все было устроено, чем занимался персонал и т.д. Но чего-то как-то очень лень.
@@GoldSrcFreeman Только бы найти команду.. А там..
@@Animator_-tq9lt Если и соберусь что-то делать, то только один.
@@GoldSrcFreeman Ладно, Удачи.
Черт, как же люблю твои видосы :)
Неплохо.
I think this is my least favorite level in the game.
And seeing how particularly nonsensical the whole layout is, that might be part of the reason.
Different account don't know if you remember
Что интересно, доплыть до дна огромной затопленной шахты можно, но выплыть не получится - это вторая по высоте постройка в игре после комнате Нихиланта. Она *очень* большая.
Да, там даже не хватает стандартной дальности прорисовки, чтобы увидеть дно сверху. Возможно изначально они планировали там какой-то геймплей, но в итоге передумали, а яма осталась.
@@GoldSrcFreeman Мне показалось, что это чисто работа на атмосферу, чтобы локация криповее казалась. Погружённые в воду трубы, темнота, подводные хищники, страх глубины и неизвестности, вот это всё.
@@mauser98kar Просто скорее всего большинство игроков это все и не заметят, пытаясь как можно скорее сбежать от ихтиозавров.
@@GoldSrcFreeman Может и так, но я думаю иначе. Мне кажется, что игроки успеют бросить хотя бы один взгляд в воду, на тёмную, уходящую вниз шахту со ржавыми трубами и хищными рыбинами, плавающими вокруг них. Впечатляющее зрелище.
I want to make a mod out of this can I please have the map I just want to add scientist can I have permission to my mod
Of course. I can send you the maps. But you should know there's only one map has the adequate geometry, for the others I used decompiled and slightly fixed versions of the maps. So I guess you'd have to fix them by yourself.
@@GoldSrcFreeman OK
@@jaypearman9528 How can I send you maps?

опа видосик
Download link, please? Possible to put the rmf ?
But can I have the map
you should put the map for download :(
is it released?
you should cover more areas in half life (like xen) without water.
Очень интересно, жду офисы
hmm
А что насчёт той клетки с арбалетом в первой комнате с рыбиной?
