STRANGE DISCOVERY IN HALF LIFE 2

[97bosko]

Wtf is that bed doing in front of you the whole time??

[0takuMetalheadGamer]

Orange Box inside an orange Box: Inception :p

[MsRobloxian]

Yup thats a spawnbox, i call it character storage but same thing

[multipro967]

orangebox in orangebox! orangeception O.o

[kirbman10]

@multipro967 orange box was released in 2007

[styx360ofroblox]

have you ever seen a material outside of a map where its like yellow paper and it says warden backwards? or in this map gm_lair something I call a combustion engine?

[Boobischnots]

if u look closely there is a white grid all the beta stuff was orange with a white grid

[SkyNinja1]

@Boobischnots Those are dev textures, still in the game, and still used in some unseen areas/

[LANCrewofficial]

you have to put an extra box with the prop you want to clone into the map (e.g. in portal is a box with a cube) and this may contains every OBJECT (not NPC) you want to spawn. An NPC gets spawned by a NPC-Spawner, which could spawn everything that has his own AI (except GLaDOS, because its just a Modell). Other NPCs like Combines or Zombies have a defined point, where they spawn and contain just a point, no AI! This is caused by choreographed scene.

[legand6]

its an npc spawn cos i ....wait no it aint cos on the map....well when ur

in the map were u is rescuing elli on a map i used no clip found a orange box

and dr.klenier waz in dere...

[left4killer]

dude what's with the bed

[Echidneys]

In another video, it explains "making of" stuff about HL2, where they'd like.. coat a room in orange to determine texture mapping from something or other. I can't remember, really. But the orange texture mapping excuse might cover it :(

[midgetman11215]

h4x

[Draknfyre]

It's a spawn box. When the map loads, it spawns enemies there, in this case it's Antlions because that's the stage you are on, and when you encounter one, it teleports them beneath the surface of the ground, and they come up from there.

[Gulliwog]

its not for a camera... its too small... the lighting inside would be crappy for one thing. Read my post... its nothing, its just a reference point they forgot to take out... I map. I know.

[Softairsoft]

it is probobly one of 2 things:

1. It has a npc inside with a camera, and there is a tv somewere in the map with the image on it

2. It is were a sound affect is comming from

[prixthkson]

@fXxuxXnXx no.

[BC2FTW]

.....its the dev textures,its like a tiny version of the map

[Gulliwog]

What level is this on, btw...? I can decompile the map and check for sure. But Im sure its the world origin (the 0, 0, 0 coordiantes in the world). It is definitely NOT a skybox, it is way too small and it is not a antilion spawn point. Spawn points are invisible in-game and can never be seen. There will be nothing inside it because its solid.. ic culled space. If someone found an antilion inide its probably because the antilion entitiy is spawning at the world origin for some reason.

[Draknfyre]

@Gulliwog

Spawn points don't have to be invisible.

TF2 has spawn boxes in a couple of maps for NPC's. The ghost on Harvest Event has a spawn room under one of the capture points, complete with textures and a TV (I guess as a joke) where he is spawned, and stored until he comes out, then he goes back there.

[Gulliwog]

It probably marks the world origin in hammer. Mappers sometimes put a 64x64 box at the world origin... it help for referencing when making skyboxes etc. They probably didnt think to take it out before compiling. There is one in de_dust2 as well... but its invisible not orange. Orange is a developer color in mapping ( you get lots of texture for measuring distances, heights and lengths)... thats why your box is orange

[903harman]

thats a skybox, its used to make the world look 10x bigger.

[mateusz2737]

i noclip to them i saw 2 antlions and 1 disappread i think its spawn for antlions to be ready to out of sand

[lazar73]

cool open the box and you gona get tf2,hl2 and portal

[Theevilonemwhaha]

I noclipped into it. Sometimes it is empty, sometimes there are antlions in it.

[maskedlion2]

i am a computer expert

[Deliphin11]

@maskedlion2 you are anything but a computer expert, your more of a newb at computers than a caveman from the year -13000. Now, TheMrTumbs is a computer expert!

[maskedlion2]

it is a box thay put it in there for a reson but it is for all the grafics and all the sounds

[AceMcCoy03]

@Foxtrot2204 and 360

[TheMrTumbs]

That box is a..... spy?

[Fire123Team]

@MrCubefreak nope theres nothing in there 

[MrCubefreak]

I bet Gman is in there.

[Fire123Team]

@MrCubefreak nope

[Fire123Team]

@MrCubefreak 

[Kafiristanica]

There is cake in the box.

[Blaizen88]

It's not so amazing.

Just a box with the generic measuring texture. Could hold a sky box, could be there for lulz.

[jul5768]

What system is this half life 2 for I only know the pc one

[TheChocolateTurkey]

maybe valve put it there just to fuck with people. lol

[reeb69doog]

its the sky box. you need to noclip through it to see the far away stuff

[MASTURCHEEF001]

the real question is, whats inside the orange box?

[NonstopPig]

@MASTURCHEEF001 lol

[MASTURCHEEF001]

@NonstopPig yay

[snitchables]

It's called a skybox

[evilgamers1]

this is a easter egg

[tanner2119]

lol therees probly a sign in it with FUCK U on it lol thatd be funny

[LGURRoD]

Its a test material, left there for easter egg purposes

[jjhays36]

i saw that on a darkest hour map but it got updated and i think the map is now gone

[9volt65]

Cameo.

Ah, valve. We love you.

[xDanlegend9x]

it looks like a spawn box for npcs like antlions or whatever. so they spawn in there so theyre ready to come out when you step on the sand.

[Doody134]

@xDanlegend9x its a trigger for when you step on the sand you it recognizes you being on it. As thus it spawns an enemy.

[vingt2]

This closed box is used to project scenes into game screens (TVs...). There's a camera inside it with the all scene ;).

Its some time used to simulate very low quality landscape and project it in the world u see.

[Bluedino549]

In the box is NOTHING! I think it is just a skybox test areal...

[andersblabla]

properly a room where either Breen or G-man is filmed (the screens with Breen ain't prerendered)

[Gordon101Gordon]

@andersblabla thats not a "film room" area, since theres nothing inside of it.

[comradsausage23]

lol it's the orange box! man i wish you could get moneu in the game, you could buy it for 30 bucks

[Bryantn3]

It is either a trigger box used for trigger points in the game, a projection box that has a camera inside it to project pictures onto tv screens, or a rendering box.

[0Riddic]

If you know anything about maping you would know this is a way to keep people from decompiling yours maps(Decompilers some how bypassed this).

[LakoonUK]

thats a box where all the stuff gets rendered, and then teleported

[brendanrobertson123]

its a button to trigger an event

[SharkkrahS]

You know, that is the "measure" texture. its an exact number of units tall, so they probably have it in there to be able to have something to compare the sizes to.

[Shootemout01]

Probably for a cut scene on one of the tv's or something...

[zyriuz2]

LOL I have Half-Life 2 Orange Box

[Metroidguy95]

its developer techniques. I develop with source and many other editors

[OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth]

STOP SHOOTING! The Orange Box has feelings too you know :(

[simzslayer5]

what it is is just a box in the map with a measure texture on it. probaly just a block that the mapping team forgot to delete. although i dont see how it could possibly go into the map design.

[pbzwriter]

its a orange box in the game ORANGE BOX

[Rabuco1]

@pbzwriter Orange box is just what they called the pack hl2 was just placed in the pack

[Wep0n]

why dont you just use novlip...

[EddieZaic]

@Wep0n This HL2 is on XBOX, you can't use Developer's Console to use cheats.

[Flam3swe]

@EddieZaic

Yes you can use the Developer's Console for the Xbox 360 version of The Orange Box. By using a transfer cable i can edit the UserSettings and put in commands into the file so i can noclip, have godmode and more.

[mrsnipet]

Cant see whats wierd in it, its just a little Box that the maker didnt remove?

[mairland200]

is this ps3?

[PivotStorm]

as a pro mapper (not realy i just like to say that in kissass british accent :P ) i can tell u that this "orange box" is actualy a trigger box

[Mozgoed065]

@PivotStorm It's not a trigger box. Triggers are invisible and you can walk through it.

[PivotStorm]

@Mozgoed065 that why i said trigger BOX u can check in hl1 for triggers like this in source there r almost no trigger boxes hl1 filled with em but HL1 engine and HL2 engine r not so diffrent

[aversion2k]

Someone is easily entertained ;)

[MunchyToast001]

Its a "Relay box" , we mappers use it when we start to make a map , it makes us able to spawn entitys without having to select coordinates in the map , i think the mapper must have forgotten to remove it , and the compile process takes months so he didnt fixed it , but since there is no "normal" way for the player to get there its not a problem , end of the story

[THEMADMANINYOURATTIC]

It's probably just a place to spawn antilions

[kildeathy]

i think this is the skybox the skybox is like a little version of the cloud images you see out of the map

[alexanderthesomewhat]

what's with the bed? lrn2 no_clip

[123halofreak]

hey can somone help me get to the ground level on the first chapter where the cops wit guns knock down the door and u have to run on the rooftops can somone plz help oh and iv got ps3 version so can somone help meh? :)

[TheMooostache]

@123halofreak i cant believe somebody is stuck on that.....

[LRMANIA]

well...it is orange box in the orange box lol

[shadowtube567]

@LRMANIA rofl, how dare you steal my joke b4 i ever say it! lol.

[LRMANIA]

:D lol..

ima mind reader O_O

[makealotofcake]

i no wat it is its a box that tests how npc scripts work

[jjhays36]

i found orange like that in darkest hour before the new darkest hour came out

[TeamMemberStudios]

It's not strange.. probably just something used for a monitor or something, with a dev grid texture..

[TeamMemberStudios]

Nope, just a empty, orange box.

Sneaky Valve, advertising their products in theiir products =P

[superxbetatester]

lol, you can say that it is an orange box XD

[335449286]

0:39 it is a iland

[NadeoKing]

@DanielChristy19

accualty it is developer textures...

[phillipjfry6]

ride that bed frame.

[masternewmen]

well, it is called "Orange Box" for a reason XD

[blazingx3]

have u tried to noclip in to it because i find alot of these boxs in half life 2 when i noclip and they have npcs in them for videos

[gamerdude199]

he cant because the Console versions dont have noclip thats why he says someone with the PC version of the game noclip inside it

[GoldenAreil]

well i think the xbox 360 version has noclip

[superxbetatester]

it does have noclip

[gamerdude199]

How? the code doesnt work A LOT of people tryed it, it dont work(i tried it too so... yeah)

[EtaCarinaez]

oh wow you found a brush with an orange developer texture on it...

[psp3602]

@EtaCarinaez

its special because the game is called the orange box...

[redDL89]

Gman lost his Xbox during one of his transdimensional jumps. naturally it got stuck in a strange place in spacetime

[masterlock1000]

valve used the same thing in Half life:1

A npc is inside that box. When you step on something or press something. That npc spawns at the desired location.(Like how the antlions come out of the ground when you step on the sand)

[SharkkrahS]

actually its just a brush with a texture called "measure" used to, well, meaure.

[imapunkemo]

what's the name of the song?

[Feynry]

In creation of maps for source engine games, valve needs to place certain entities or triggers off the sides of the map, the point of this is to easily find the entities or triggers to edit them during map creations.

[thomasdfghj1]

omg i see a heavy and a portal gun!!11

[U900Real1]

lol it's the "Orange Box" inside there's HL2 things Portal and sum stuff

[dragoffire3]

This reminds of the the orange box package.

[123ilikecheese456]

it a trigger box so when your on the sand antlions spwan

[muninen]

Dude..it's just a skybox,or a box where something you see from a monitor in the game  or something...

[Doody134]

Listen when ever you see an orange box outside a map then its an A.I trigger box so when you step on the sand thats got shot or something then the antlions spawn

[killweb2]

It's the G-box

[rafaelesniper]

Probably is just the skybox

[BeebeCh1972]

How do you manage to "escape" outside a level?

[bergv522]

noclip

[maximilli111]

@BeebeCh1972 prop surfing

[justus954]

i think there is antlion for sounds *like antlion roar when its underground*

[jaredvcxz]

More importantly, why is there a bed frame stalking you?

[monkeynut000]

all i found in noclip is just orange every ware nothing spiecal

[zenophas]

Wait a minute! If the orange box is in half life 2 and half-life 2 is in the orange box, does that mean that the whole thing is an impossible object?

[Socko8q3f]

It's the orange box!

[10trev]

whats inside the onrange box? the best game of the year (with an orange box)

[Technobanana]

woopty doo u found a box :_

[thephatone1002]

It's a dev box that the map developer put in the map to have a contrasting background when he imported static meshes to use in the level. He left it on the outside of the map because he knew that it wasn't meant to be seen.

[csnvg111]

yup but i dobt like doing that ( i cant be bothered) so my maps dont look good lol i should start.

[Sarahbgreat]

I have pc I will try.

[Sarahbgreat]

i saw it too 0 _  0

[Dunny774]

its where the characters are for the tv stuff

[bumblebeefightergirl]

Why are you flying around on a bed frame?

[sgtsambo97]

Thats just a orange dev texbox.

USed in Tf2 Hammer levels alot "cp_orange" "pl_orangebomb"

[Ganerumo]

It's a RT stuff. In hammer people use it to diffuse stuff into TVs.

[superhalo3soldier]

its the real orange box

[RatherBeRiding375]

LOL that's exactly what I thought when I saw it.

[HimmeTest]

As sirdownloadsalot said, it's probably just a box with an actor inside it. Just read his comment for an explanation.

[49677severman]

its probably something the editors used to test the materials on? and for some reason it became a orange box in the end maybe search around the level see if there's anything orange.

[HaloCustomFilms]

Its just a developers texture box

[Evaldas256]

That is only a box outsie the level that has a level desingers dev texture,it might be an entietie but it's no easter egg :)

[littleboyred1]

it's an easter egg! it's the orange box! it contains hl2, hl2ep1, hl2ep2, tf2, and portal!!! :D

[Holycrapheadcrabs]

I have half-life 2 for the pc. If you can tell me any landmarks near the box I really want to see it.

[SQUIDMACK]

right after you meet the guy who wants you not to "step on the sand" and you meet the first ant lion. Go a bit further and the canyon opens up and cuts to the right. At that spot it is over the cliff on your left.

[Holycrapheadcrabs]

Thanks for the directions. Even though I read a couple of the comments below mine, I still felt like finding it. Even though I knew what it was.

[denniskussinich08]

lol. inside is 2,000 copies of the orange box

[fear569173]

sorry but the cake is a lie..

[gamer4maker]

I agree with sirdownloadsalot, but I find it strange that it uses dev textures and not nodraw....

[halofreak0103]

the game orange box i below your feet repeat this cycle

1. play orange box

2.go to same place where box is

3.open that and play

4.keep on reapeating this cycle from 1 two 4

[crewsi1]

that is the orange box lol

[sirdownloadsalot]

outside about every map is a box that either contains a voice room for when you where a radio going off, or when ever you see a tv showing something on it there will ALWAYS be a box with that inside. for example, when you start the level you see dr breen doing his telecast he is in a little room outside the map doing it all there. and if you are playing it on garrysmod, when you use the RT camera tool the screan will show that instead. so yeah its probably a voice box, ive seen them before.

[VaderGaming]

Yes, I make maps and I always see "glitches" like this, it isn't a glitch or a bug, or a mistake. Dev Textures are used before objects are actually textured (Reference the Half Life 2 Beta Nova Prospekt Level all in Dev Text) So it is probably a voice box

[spandexman77]

That's the orange box. It's not just a name it's a contractual obligation.

[Anarchemitis]

It's probably a actor sound booth.

There are similar apparitions in other levels when you only see/hear characters through TV sets and radios, their voices are recorded inside them and sent over distance to relay via a prop (such as a Radio object) so you can hear them with a sound modifier to make it sound scratchy, discordant or staticy.

[Feenuxz]

Yeah, that could be it.

[profecy008]

every valve produced game has orange box and even build board at the l4d has commercial of orangebox

[GModFanatic001]

Lol, this is quite literally the Orange Box.

Wonder if it has Portal and TF2 inside :D

[demover7]

Thats actually a frame input for all the levels...valve uses it in the engines of there games..thats why they called the combo of the hl, portal, and fortress orange box...its like a lil inside joke

[wertyphil]

press V key to put it in noclip mode

[jope12]

dude this is not pc version

[SebbaVideo]

Plus, its not Garrysmod nubcake!

[LayLow2K7]

You don't have to be in garrys mods to noclip Sebba you nubcake

[SebbaTF2]

Did he say so?

[LayLow2K7]

It was you on your other accounts that said "It's not garry's mod nubcake" haha

[ImJTHM]

Mmmm...

nubcake...

*drool*

[LayLow2K7]

Tasty huh? I prefer Procake :)

[redKELLYMHRCH]

the camera box on the first level i played it in Gmod and filled the box with zombies! LOL good times!

[machinimafan77]

you found an orange box when you were playing the orange box!

[mishayoutub]

why dont you noclip inside the box and check what is there?

[Alexch001]

becouse he/she has the xbox360 / ps3 verision.and it dosent have a console.

[speedbreaker100]

hey this is just a joke if you opeen or hit the box by a crowbar.. may be if you quit the game all games found in the orange box of valve will be there!!! hahahahahahhahahahahha

[Niektendo]

maybe gman, in the first lvl, u see breen on all the tv screens, he is in such a box aswell

[lighteelco]

It's probably a spawn box.

[joemack13]

maybe thats where valve got the idea for "The Orange Box"! lol

...or not...

[G3org3Master]

...

[FOTEPX]

What's inside the Orange Box?

[thest3alth]

Cake!
