same here!

When i was playing a gmod map of c17 thats when i foud out

Y’all goofy

Though for some reason a new room where dog throws an APC at just appears, despite it not being there

It is so obvious bruhh

i mean Valve's level design always only kinda made sense, but never was logical. I really love them for this because your mind tells you it's correct, but it isn't and shows that they put fun and experience on the forefront and design a level around that

​@@lukabrasi001the catwalks for example

@@lukabrasi001 As someone said about the complete half-life 1 map, valve prioritized fun over realism. They could have ensured nothing overlapped but that would require very long paths to walk which might have been more realistic but less fun to play.

They didn't. There's some horizontal overlap, trainstation is a complete mess. Though the city looks better, but only because they had in mind the direction where Gordon should move (which didn't help with overlap of canals above the coast).

​​@@fantastikboom1094I think it's multiple beta maps or something?

Just go on a trip to eastern europe

@@holy0damn not 100% acurate

It wouldn't take that long if it was just structures, objects and anything else usually manmade (as long as there is a sizable crew of workers and they aren't building things that can't be seen in-game, so basically just creating a set for a movie). It's the terraforming/transforming of the land that'd take centuries.

It's impossible!

It'll probably be done before Half life 3 gets released

it's a shame episode one never featured a glimpse of a section of the citadel from HL2 that could be used to connect them

WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE?

@@TheManWhoSoldTheW0rld Cause he’s the Engineer

@@KinerfV4 The engineer is engihere

@@GlassyDusty Well it does "borrow" certain level geometries from HL2

it could maybe be possible with the infinite map base addon in gmod

@@Concon12316 it is, people already remade several gta maps that are much larger than gmod map limit!

@@paint_turtle Yeah but they lack collision.

And create stuff to fit in all the undesigned areas to make it a proper open world map.

But the entire city and world would have to be done from scratch. The city doesn't really exist.

THE ONE PIEEEEEEEEEEECE

THE ONE PIECE IS REEEEEAL

Yeah I wish the tunnel that lead to Ravenholm was facing the opposite direction of what it currently is so that it would match up with the buildings you see in the distance at the entrance to BME, and also prevent the entire rest of the game (chapters 7-9) from being overlapped with Water Hazard

This is more true in newer maps, so it seems to be trending upwards. Which does make sense, as the brushes are used to generate the BSP tree, and having too many gets big quickly.

Multiple story paths

Maybe in source 2.

​@@Omega-mr1jgeven in Source 2 that would be a hell of an undertaking

Port this to source 2, fill out all the previously unreachable parts of the map by designing new areas, then you could use the map for loads of different games

are you that guy who makes those strange goanimate videos lol

@@VulpesAllium I do indeed make strange and funny goanimate videos!

Haha, it's not only possible, but it also works reasonably fast on something as weak/old/cheap/obsolete as Raspberry Pi (IIRC it worked even on the very first one, $35/board from 2012). It might surprising how really powerful computers are (even the old ones) when fed with data properly, and how much of that power is left on the table by modern sloppy programming.

It depends on what they meant. Putting all the maps together as mere 3D models is of course possible, and it's not surprising. But if they meant putting all the maps together in any playable form, then they were probably right. To begin with, Hammer doesn't let you have more than 8192 brushes, and there are maybe other limits. Even Source2 probably has its limits. I don't think Source 2 was made for open worlds. If you used another engine to workaround those limits, it might be doable. That is, if all you wanted was to walk around an empty map. Otherwise your workload will be big, as you'll have to recreate HL2 to some extent in order to support the map content and make the world feel alive. You'll still have trouble fitting levels together, too, because they don't actually fit together as well as they seem to. I'm not sure this kind of level layout lends itself well to open-world optimization strategies, though.

@@skaruts I think the common consensus then was simply putting the 3d models together would be impossible/impractical because of the overlapping issue. It would seem that if the Ravenholm maps were turned 90 degrees then all the hl2 maps wouldn't overlap at all and be a perfect fit.

yes

Technically, it's possible, because you're just teleporting through the locations. Or it's one location with changing layout.

@@fantastikboom1094 the entirety of highway 17's tunnels would need to be longated and so would the route canals, and the apartment complex is a mess, along with the elevator shaft to Dr kleiners lab, which itself is also geometrically impossible, the entire first chapter's layout is impossible.

@@OffBrandChicken It's also possible as I described

@@fantastikboom1094 with what I described it makes half life geometrically impossible, you cants go from point A to B without breaking the laws of physics

The water being weird is indeed a proper bug, which I never got around to investigate. The z-fighting flickering issue is quite a bit more tricky. Fundamentally it's there because adjacent maps both have geometry for the same places in the world, but visuals for these same places are usually slightly different (texture mapping, lighting, etc are a bit off, because map makers never really had to work for the case of someone displaying them together 15 after the game release). There's no simple fix for that, unfortunately. Determining the "same-ness" of geometry and culling the extra becomes complex very fast, from requiring a proper geometry solver for reasoning about whether given surfaces are considered co-planar, to cutting intersecting parts, to determining even which parts to cut in the first place. There's a third z-fighting issue of insufficient depth buffer precision when the geometry is too far. There are some cool techniques to address that (reverse-depth, log-depth, or something like that, it's been a while), but i again i never got to try any of those.

i started playing hl3

​@@anticommunistactionI started play hl4

Normal websites: download link here Github: ????????

@Dragonwing Hello there, old friend...

What does that have to do with prespectives?

Obviously not because the OpenSource program doesn't support Black Mesa and this person knows nothing about programming so he can't add it himself

@@the_kovic Okay

idk

No it's definitely not. You can fit all of HL1's complex into one map on Source, while random one-two of canal/coast map already reach the map limit.

dаmn Z💀

I did this and didnt realize you need half life 2 installed

It's probably mostly because of the huge map sizes compared to hl1. Clearly they didnt care to align things too much since the overlaps would only be noticeable when loading all maps at once

4D

@@uis246 yes

Probably not

Maybe s&box can?

No? It's not BSP file.

@@fantastikboom1094 What?

@@damsen978 It's not a BSP file, so GMod can't open it.

No you can't put it into Gmod. It's not a BSP map.
