[Joranftw]

Jay Stelly?

Valve has been trolling us all along.

[Dalek22comments]

@Joranftw - Genius.

[Froztshockify]

hey, it's the obsolete guy from hammer! I was wondering who the heck that guy was.

[ShadicoTheHedgehog]

How come they only show the MP5 in the beta footage?

[cyborgtroy]

No, it's nothing like MS Paint.

It's called decals, they overlay a bullet hole texture without modifying the underlying texture. You should just look it up on Google.

[redfoxbennaton]

How do they get the wall textures to change when I shoot it. Also the blood looks cooler and more realistic in the beta release.

[benneb07]

i think you have to put a trigger on the wall

like

on fire change texture to [______________]

maybe lol i used to make maps, nice ones :P but i dont do much for half life 1 ^^

[redfoxbennaton]

It must be something like MS paint.

[benneb07]

MS Paint isnt anything to do with the game lol yeah you might make some textures in it but MS Paint wont actualy change textures wile in play XD

[redfoxbennaton]

No I mean there is progam like MS paint programed in there so when you shoot a wall the program reacts inside the game making bullet holes on the wall.

[redfoxbennaton]

I am trying to say the game has a MS paint program in there. Programed in there when you shoot a wall then the program reacts.

[benneb07]

So it is realy just shoot=paste shot hole lol

[redfoxbennaton]

Almost. More like shoot and paint.

[Xer2k7]

Jay Stelly, Robin Walker, David Sawyer & Kelly Bailey are just 4 names from the Valve crew which pioneered so much of gameplay mechanics and environments that we all take for granted these days... It's a shame these guys don't get more credit :\

-X

[Xer2k7]

You gotta remember folks he Invented this stuff in games as we know it today, this isn't just someone bragging about their designs this was and always will be Revolutionary Technology :)

I've yet to confirm this with Jay himself, but i am 99.9999% sure he is the face on the "Obsolete" icon in Hammer World Editor (Super imposed/photoshopped onto "The Fonz"'s body with the thumbs up)

I wonder if there was an inside joke to that...

Ayyyyyyyeeee :D

contd in next post...

[fataslin]

lol its sounds so shit now

[KohrsAKT]

The headcrabs are gigantic.

[mantax55]

meh atleast we get the best game i the world lol

[Lex12021]

"Half life have neat physics, there can be slippery surfaces." LOL!

[HiMyNameIsJayy]

@Lex12021 Not really.

"Half Life has some really neat physical behaviors, we have slippery floors and icy surfaces that you can slide around on"

[DoctorWeeTodd]

Whoa, the tag actually drew, instead of instantaneously appearing whole.

[Frostbitex12]

Half-Life was buggy since they added skeletal animations and such, which wasn't fully finished when they recorded the videos.

[99draiwil]

I gathered the videos arent from a final version, although all 3D games at the time would use skeletal animation for the models.

[99draiwil]

if you look at the headcrabs at the end they look kind of... glitchy? they shudder around like its an online game with 400ms ping

[dj09ish]

@99draiwil well that explains why they remade half life. most of the a.i movement was abit glitchy
