I know this is old, sorry to drag it up again. The bullsquid: yes, screenshots don't do it justice and there are gameplay reasons for the change, etc... but the bullsquid was iconic, illogical or not. Why wouldn't swapping the model work? Would it crash the game or just cause AI problems?
Edit: also, will the old model even be available in any way?

**Disturbulator** · 25-08-12, 05:58

The Bone rig between Models are Different.
Plenty of 'Iconic' Things about Half-Life Have been altered in this Modification, Deal.
And no, From what I've gathered, the Old Model itself is completely gone.

"I know you had perfectly good reasons for changing it, but change it back to the old retarded version"

Plus, it was iconic for the mouth tentacles. No one gave a fuck about the eyes till they were different. No one will give a fuck a few weeks after the release either. I guarantee it.

You know, there's all this butthurt about the Bullsquid eyes but I never really paid attention to how different it was (I didn't really care), and I can't find a comparion anywhere. The wiki has plenty of pics of the bullsquid, but they all seem to be the same generation, as far as the eyes are concerned. Is there a comparison, or at least old and new shots somewhere? Preferably from roughly the same angle.

**~~xalener~~** · 25-08-12, 09:29

.... no ghostpage? Maybe because this one is fresh...

No, it's pretty much the same as the last one you asked about. You haven't seen the most recent version. Stop asking.

Much more stable than it has been, we've made some pretty massive reduction in the number and frequency of crashes.

Some testers have reported a 60% reduction in load times.

The old model won't work, so it won't be available.

Will there be button to put hud on/off? As for me the current hud is too bright

**King_Kaddo** · 25-08-12, 12:08

I'm sure there's a cvar for that.

**OrderOfDagon** · 25-08-12, 16:08

cl_drawhud 0

**thadude** · 25-08-12, 16:10

you still need to use sv_cheats 1 for it, that's the problem. also then you have to bind it somewhere. im too lazy to do that lol

**Keresh** · 25-08-12, 16:12

So don't do it then?

**thadude** · 25-08-12, 16:21

so i just wanna full support for the option like in serious sam lol

the same thing with fov

**Razafeth** · 25-08-12, 16:34

Does the HECU use flares? If so, are the enemies still perpetually soaked in gasoline like in Episode 1? If not, what's the best way to 'light em up?'

**super3dcow** · 26-08-12, 03:51

What happened to the BMS Steam Group? It used to be full of people, and I liked checking on it once in a while to see how many total hours the Devs had spent working on the mod, but now it seems everyone has disbanded. Just curious, that's all.

You can configure the amount of HUD postprocess bloom in the game options menu.

Human grunts don't use flares, but there are flares in the environment that you can use to light up the night.

Which Steam group? The community and developer groups look fine to me.

Now I'm getting really curious about the options menu.

**thadude** · 26-08-12, 11:44

I bet ther gonna be a special part in the options menu called "gameplay options"

**bur** · 26-08-12, 13:41

"Options Menu options"

1.) Open autoexec.cfg with a text editor
2.) Type:

Quote:

sv_cheats 1

3.) Then type on next line:

Quote:

bind [YOUR KEY HERE] "cl_drawhud 0"

4.) Save + exit

Never need to worry about turning on cheats again.

Also, could you give us an example of a serious or just downright irritating bug you've encountered recently or semi-recently?

**~~Shepard~~** · 26-08-12, 19:53

So since we past 1000 pages and it is 20'000th post of Got a question thread, I think it would be very fair to ask developers now, after 2 years and 3 months after OP:

When can we expect Black Mesa Source to be released?

At least tell how many years we have to wait, or maybe we should fill this thread to 2000 pages?

P.S. Also it is 20 days since Great Oz has spoken!
