Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / February 2008Odd blueshift bug
Finally got around to playing HL Blueshift today, never actually bought it (just HL and OPFOR), but if you have the original HL and install Steam, BS comes for free and I'd never tried it. Anyway, the point of this is, I'm in Captive Freight, I've just broken Dr. Rosenburg out of his container and I'm in the adjacent building killing marines. However, everytime I cross the threshold of the doorway into the basement (after coming down the stairs), the game crashes back to the desktop. Any ideas? Also, I have to admit, I'm kinda disappoint by BS, many of the original HL mods were much better quality than this (USS Darkstar for example!)

Hmm I have started on BS as well, played it through a long time ago I am on my way out and haven't got as far as you > Also, I have to admit, I'm kinda disappoint by BS, many of the original HL > mods were much better quality than this (USS Darkstar for example!) LOL, don't compare Valve games with mods Valve has a limit on the time they can use, a mod team has seldom this restriction USS Darkstar was made by Manke, who later made They Hunger Series and formed Black Widow Games http://www.blackwidowgames.com/ The intro scene resembles those of the orginal HL and also OP, if anything install the mod just to view the intro .... it's awesome Link to USS Darkstar http://manke.planethalflife.gamespy.com/darkstar.htm Btw: USS Darkstar was selected by Valve Software for presentation to the press at the first Half-Life Mod Expo'99 at San Francisco. And just for info ... They Hunger: Lost Souls will be featured in the March 2008 edit of PC Gamer http://www.pcgamer.com/inthisissue.html - Peter >> Also, I have to admit, I'm kinda disappoint by BS, many of the >> original HL mods were much better quality than this (USS Darkstar for [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Valve has a limit on the time they can use, a mod team has seldom this > restriction Although Valve didn't actually make it, it was created by Gearbox Software, who, at the time, also had a hand in creating the first lot of really professional looking CS maps with custom textures - cs_backalley and de_train (Which both first appeared in CS beta 5, and both survive in CS1.6 to this day I believe :) ) Tangent/rant/side-comment - I hope Valve get around to bringing cs_backalley back into CS:S. afaik, they own all the rights to it - shame to let a good map like that go to waste!

I believe that was also a commercial release of what began life as a HL mod. I think I was one of the few people who actually played it. And, that being said, I think I was one of the few people of *those* few people who actually liked it. :-) Was that a Gearbox title as well? "StreetMedic" wrote > Anyone remember Gunman Chronicles?

Nope It was released made by Rewolf/Vivendi Full story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunman_Chronicles Btw notice that there's a patch for Steam! And user maps and more - check links on the wiki page - Peter >>> Also, I have to admit, I'm kinda disappoint by BS, many of the >>> original HL mods were much better quality than this (USS Darkstar for [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > cs_backalley back into CS:S. afaik, they own all the rights to it - > shame to let a good map like that go to waste! Never much cared for backalley. Was a too big of a map and playing it with non-AGHL ended being rushed and meeting in the same alley. Speaking of AGHL and CS:S or TF2.... Bash? Now that I got another Highspeed bump with actual DSL to the house. *glee* SignatureJethro[AGHL] aka Phat_Jethro Reply Email: jethro86 (at) gmail (dot) com I am not sure but I think there was a patch for that.

Sorry can't help with your problem but I'd agree this was the weakest game in the series. I had to have it though... just for completeness and it did have it's moments.. > Sorry can't help with your problem but I'd agree this was the weakest game > in the series. I had to have it though... just for completeness and it > did have it's moments.. It has its moments though In the start of the game (before the disaster) you find a controlroom with three screens You can see ... - Gordon Freeman on his way to the chestchamber - G-Man riding by in a subtrain - Gina Cross on her way to the testchamber with equipment - Peter > - Gina Cross on her way to the testchamber with equipment Btw Decay (a HL/Goldsrc mod ported from PS2) is scheduled for release this year http://decay.half-lifecreations.com/ - Peter > You can see ... > - Gordon Freeman on his way to the chestchamber I saw that, I was wondering if that was freeman or not... I sort of assumed it would be like the way a user plays, so you'd recognise him by the fact that he was bouncing down the corridor, strafing left to right.. > - Gina Cross on her way to the testchamber with equipment Is that who that is? Does that suggest that HL2 was already being plotted out when they did BS to you? Civilian_Target > I saw that, I was wondering if that was freeman or not...

Playing without sound or do you have problems with the sound equipment? Hmm the scientist says "Good morning Mr Freeman" or something similar .... Btw after your character has left the tram and waiting for the security door to open you see Freeman riding by in his tram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Calhoun >> - Gina Cross on her way to the testchamber with equipment > Is that who that is?

Gina Cross is the holographic guide for Freeman during the Hazard Course and later a main character in Decay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Cross - Peter > Gina Cross is the holographic guide for Freeman during the Hazard Course Nice tidbit, Peter! Can't believe I missed that! >> You can see ... >> - Gordon Freeman on his way to the chestchamber [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Does that suggest that HL2 was already being plotted out when they did > BS to you? From what I've gathered (reading various interviews and other articles which feature Valve people), they began plotting HL2 within 6 months of releasing HL1. Apparently one of the reasons TF2 was cancelled, was that it was changed to use the Source engine (Where it had originally been planned as a HL1/goldsrc mod) - except Valve didn't want to tell anyone the real reason at the time, since it would've given away the big secret about HL2.
