Got a Question? - Enquiries about the mod - Page 924

**Medevilae** · 25-04-12, 20:17

So with Source and Steam for Linux basically confirmed, will the mod be delayed for a port? Will there be a port? Will a port come after release?

**Kazioo** · 25-04-12, 21:58

What do you expect? Valve ported Source to MacOS 2 years ago and there is still no SDK for modders.

Ah that's right.

EDIT:
I'd place money on it that Valve would give the BM team the ability to port if they so desired.

yeah but are there enough people who will be playing this mod on Linux for it to be worth it?

Will the game be compatible with the Nintendo Power Glove?

**uk_sniper** · 26-04-12, 11:06

compared to the 08 trailer, how much has the game improved visually etc?

im not sure if this has been answered before - if you released the game in 09, would you have been disappointed knowing how the game looks/plays now?

**Kazioo** · 26-04-12, 15:57

Will the new website have official pictures comparing 2009 build with 2012 build or will you show them in a less formal way (wiki, forums etc)?

Oh and the Steam group has over 22,000 members.

I'm guessing of that amount of people, 1,000 or more have linux.

It's actually required for the new melee combat system.

Most of the game, really. Certainly a lot of the core assets and setpieces.

Yes. We were cutting a lot of corners and rushing a lot of things through to try and make the end of 2009.

They try to hit you with their gun.

There's not much point having outdated screenshots of your game on your shiny new website, is there?

**Xenomorphlover** · 27-04-12, 08:41

Is the new "updated" website something we can expect in the near future regardless of whether the mod's progress is satisfying or not....or is it dependent on the mod's progress - which means it only gets updated to let us know that the mod is about to be released.

It's already been said that the website overhaul will happen either just before or right after the release of the soundtrack... Or atleast I think they said that.

I was looking at some media on the wiki, and I saw this:

At first, I thought "Cool, the level looks pretty awesome", but then I noticed the comparison overlay in the top right. Now, I know that I'm being OCD, but what happened to Barney?

**JamesKane** · 27-04-12, 14:06

Barney was moved. You will see him after completing the turn.

**ac3d** · 27-04-12, 14:17

Is that scientist on the left performing the Moonwalker lean or is he leaning on the wall to his side?

**Dotard** · 27-04-12, 14:18

Is it going to be possible for the mod to get ported to the latest available Source Engine after it's released by modders ?

Possibly? Yes, but not by us.

**Dotard** · 27-04-12, 14:33

I see thanks. So we might see some touch from modders to this already great mod after release

Black Mesa with the latest CS:GO engine would look beyond perfection with the new lighting and shadowing, not to mention cloth physics ... that would add another layer of realism to the NPCs

The new website won't go up until the mod's about to be released. All of the updates will be in one hit.
