I didn't realize there was anything special about him. You hinting at something?

Will the RPGs fall over a distance without the laser guide the way a crossbow bolt does?

Both projectiles have microscopic thrusters attached which provide enough impulse to counter the force of gravity; assuming the projectiles are moving orthogonal to gravity.

I wanna ask, can i play black mesa source with Left 4 Dead 2? It's not on the full list of games you need to play with...

**Keresh** · 03-02-10, 14:48

Yes.

This is a question kind of related to the previous one.
I have an account on my old computer with all of my Half-Life 2 games installed, as well as L4D and L4D2. That computer is now my sisters (I have a new one), and she owns none of them. Theoretically, would she be able to play BM? Or would the data being present on the drive not be enough.

If it's not, it's no big deal, I'd buy her the Orange Box any day.

UPDATE: Nevermind, she has TF2. That... IS good enough for BM, right?

**Lord Grievous** · 03-02-10, 15:09

You need a STEAM account and one of the games on the list to play BMS. So your sister would either have to use your account, precluding you from using it at the same time. Or her own account.

- ...Why an emergency door to enter the room? Emergency doors are for exits.

Anyway, it's just my oppinion. You know... some people like that room, others dislike. I only want to know if the devs will keep it (as is, or with improvements) or cut.

Did you not see the fire sprinklers on the ceiling? A number of things can set those off; some are even controlled electrically through fire alarms instead of the typical "Heat Seal." as to what's containing the water, i couldn't tell you. is that whole floor of the building flooded? I still really need to get my hands on a copy of HL1. Big fan of HL2, though.

**Lord Grievous** · 03-02-10, 19:45

I'm sure the devs have thought of this and made it more logical

Lord Grievous. There I said it.

If Black Mesa uses some of the Source Sdk textures and another mod changes those then it will be affected.

When using a Source SDK texture a mod accesses it from the .gcf file directly. Changes that say add high resolutions textures to HL2 do not change this file, they provide an alternate version of the texture file to a specific mod/game. To make a change that would affect all games accessing the texture you would have to modify the .gcf, as far as I know this is not only a very bad idea, it wouldn't work as steam would detect the difference in the gcf and re-download it.

More importantly, Valve haven't released the compression algorithm for the .gcf file format, so you can't edit them or create your own anyway.

I thought that's what gcfscape is for? Or, are you talking about something totally different, I'm not 100% sure what gcfscape does either... :/
