Half-Life 2 Beta Npcs [SDK]

[HL2BeTAFaN22]

I think the big crab synth and cremator will be in Half-Life 3! Crab Synth because when it walked a minigun showed up and there are some sounds of this thing.Cremator because it NEVER got cut! You can find a cremator´s head in eli´s lab, so its in the game !

[Left4dead11000]

it looks like the crab synth is dancing to the song

[Left4dead11000]

0:16 best part of the song starts cuz it starts walking... :P

[MrNoob000games]

SDK?! BETA MODEL?! AM I WATCHING IT?!

[MrNoob000games]

SDK?! BETA MODELS?! HAHAHA

[ThePooman101]

The Shark Thingy (I can never remember it's name.) does appear in game. It tries to eat you, at the start.

[lazar73]

@ThePooman101 its not just a a game o_O oh and its not A SHARK!

[ThePooman101]

@lazar73 Itcyasaur or something then.

[mrGlitch2000]

@ThePooman101

In Reality = The Ichyosaur was a dinosaur fish that kinda looked like a Dolphin.

in Half-Life = Alien Fish.

[ThePooman101]

@mrGlitch2000 Yeah I remember hearing that somewhere... the reality thing, I mean. In fact in Jewish times if I remember correct, they drew half a fish, and the second Jew drew the second half. And Ichyosaur stood for something back then but I can't remember what (for the jews). In Greek I think it means 'Fish' so that explains the giant mutant alien pirahna looking fish.

[lazar73]

@lazar73 lololol i call it ichtysaur :D

[LiamJoly]

music?

[mrGlitch2000]

@LiamJoly

Music that is used in Half-Life 2: Episode 2.

[LiamJoly]

@mrGlitch2000 but wath one

[crazyboyz313]

@mrGlitch2000 its the strider vs dog music?

[basaran516]

@LiamJoly last legs

[ViaLaBam25]

what are the two songs in this

[TheStonedpope]

the first one is on the game but u don't fight them they walk by on your way to dr.breens lab if u look down u can see 2

[omgroofelz]

the bitting atck he itchyosaur do is notjsut the tele malfunction scripted atck it also does this randomly if you encounter it using the console

[DrHaxification]

Now the ichthysauruss is still a npc but it doesn't be seen too often because it is usually in mods

[derp121]

The leeches are used in gameplay, and the Ichthyosaur is used in HL2, and can work with refinement in other people's maps using the Source SDK. The Crab Synth was included into gameplay towards the end to show the Combine's synth technology. Hardly beta at all.

[bearandwoot]

The second one is in Half Life Source

[Echidneys]

Go swimming

see Ichthyosaur

life officially over

[MrPortalplayer]

hl2 ichthyosaur = HOLY SHI- WTFOMGBBQ AHHHHH I HATE IT!!!! thing scares me

[R33Racer]

YESSS!!! I've always wanted to know what these things where!

My friends just thought I saw striders and was mad.

[Filo127]

0.15

has that thing got a gatling gun?!?

[REFodra98]

and the leech is seen on lost coast

[darkspriteguardian]

ychtosaur is in hl2: in scene where gordon teleports from place to place.

it just never appeared again

[builderman1q2w3e4r]

where do i get

SDK model veiwer and all the modles for the half life games and left 4 dead and other valve games?

[REFodra98]

@builderman1q2w3e4r Source SDK in Library > Tools

[MrThejoshmon]

crab synth = giant headcrab -> body crab :)

[xweert111]

how to spawn Ichthyosaur in normal half life 2

Go to the Console

type in give npc_ichthyosaur

[tokage15]

So THAT'S the crab thingy.

I was like, did I skip something or what?

[MapleUmbreon]

Dear Valve,

Thank you for keeping the Ichthyosaur out of HalfLife 2

[devourment8800]

the leech should have been the hl2 main boss.

[woutermen2]

they where unable to make ai's for these guys so they didnt put them in retail

[HALPCat]

Not just beta NPCs, they are actually ingame.

[Meety2000]

Crab Synth walking while you play fitting music.

[rainwisker22]

i think more people would have stayed out of the water if they had kept the ichthyosaur...

[magnusm4]

gmod please

[lucker2k]

what is the name of the song?

[jerkakame]

The crab synth was like a tank, it had machineguns and a cannon.

[videogamemaniac001]

The Synth looks badass when it's walking.

[Ultimate600]

They are all seen ingame. Not beta. ;)

[sourceplayer151]

what are the file names and what folder are they in?

[anthonio98]

they were cut cuz they are over powerd

but wu not just valve redus its health god dammit

[ROBLOXisthebestparas]

Valve's ideas creep me out!

[DoktorVitek]

whats name of this music?

[DANTEPLYX]

@DoktorVitek Well the last one playing is Guard Down from Half Life 2 ep.1

[EndreVanan]

@goldenelitezealot You can't spawn them in the game. Their entities are both #monster_generic, and the engine won't be able to find what you're talking about.

[gmodfan11]

@EndreVanan no, their entitys are "cycler" entitys which still crashes the game though.

[EndreVanan]

@gmodfan11 I was talking about if you tried to use npc_create. I know that their entity is cycler, but I was referring to the spawn entity.

[TheBadbloke]

the synth crab whas replaced by the antlion guard and the other synth whas replaced by those flying camera's

[Bob0p]

Those would be more bad ass then pussy adviser (the Itchy can attack you and leaches did no replace him

[BATMACE555]

the ichythysaur is in half life 2 lost coast, first noclip over to the blue sunken ship, then sprint directly above it until you get the what i call "the ocean in the sky" which is just a big body of water in the sky. you'll find a black platform, stand on that and hit it with the crowbar a few times then you'll see splashing in the distance. He is there, he is waiting

[willuseonce]

imma see if thats real ^.^ and if not thanks for givein me a reason to play lost coast again!

[WhArKieDx]

i hope its on ep3

[drifter402]

some of these should have bben kept so it would not be all comibne

+ zombies+ antlions

[Jimiri123]

First sound is from "Half-Life 2: Episode 2" sound track in chapter "Our mutual fiend" (don't remember exactly that chapter name) during strider fight and second from "Half-Life 2 Episode 1 or 2" (don't remember in witch one of them are)

[10lettername]

i wish the ithcy was in game, to this day he still scares the shit out of me

[PureToxicYouth81]

they remind me of a antlion they should of made thoso like antlions

[VizzorLand]

s-song?

[Ocelot60]

using console you can spawn the ictysaurs or whatever in water but they dont do much other than chomp a bit

[ZeSpekov]

ichtys ftw :D

[ART1E057]

Battlepope...Shut the fuck up.

[Battlepope98]

This is dumb, They are not beta npcs, they are in the retail hl2

[mrGlitch2000]

They are not used in gameplay so I have a right to say that they are beta.

[Battlepope98]

But they are used in gameplay.

[mrGlitch2000]

But do you interact with them without the use of cheats?

[Battlepope98]

Yes. You do.

[MushrooMars]

@mrGlitch2000

These arn't beta npcs. In the hammer editor, in obsidian conflict, and i think in synergy you can interact with them, and they are really fucking hard to kill.

Think before you be an idiot.

If you want to kick these thing's asses, look up obsidian conflict on google.

[Snowuk95]

@mrGlitch2000 Some of them are used in gmod gamemodes.. like zombie survival gamemodes... because ive seen the synth before.

[OKStudios]

@mrGlitch2000 The fish for example, is used in d1_trainstation_03 when you are in the teleporter, also where is your proof they used this in beta? for what you know they were in the game files.

[jmate11]

@mrGlitch2000 yes...

[shlthead123]

@mrGlitch2000

when the teleporter fails in the story of half life 2 you see the second npc

in some parts in the water you see the third but i gotta admit they are weird you can't step into the water or you will get hit really fast, they are like piranahs.

only the first one isn't used in gameplay, never seen it before but it looks pretty good. should be used in a mod or something ^_^

[Metalsonic2008]

cool vid. and 2:16 what music is that?

[EndreVanan]

@mrGlitch2000 You don't have a "right" to say that they're anything. Just because it isn't used in gameplay doesn't mean it's beta.

[Gabezen101]

@mrGlitch2000 Not really, There just not used

[iTreeStudios]

@mrGlitch2000 No, you don't. Some things that are found in SDK were cut before the Beta, yet we can view them. And yes, they are used in gameplay. You see all three. Crab Synth when you're heading to Breen's office, Itchyosaur when Lamarr screws up the teleporter, and Leeches in some oceans in the game. Truly, you fail.

[pr0surf3r]

@iTreeStudios omg he said what they would actually do to you in the actual game not just in few cutscenes read the fucking text!

[Snowuk95]

@mrGlitch2000 Yes, but that makes false information.

[Metalsonic2008]

@mrGlitch2000 What is the song? oh and nice vid!

[MrRaynor009]

@Battlepope98 no they are not

[VenomFrogPwned]

@Battlepope98

Mr.glitch has a point

[MsJsps]

@Battlepope98 U are very right all of them are of half life 2 not from beta

[TheTerraTitan]

@Battlepope98

Ok, just to clear things up, some of these NPC's may be in the retail vesion, but those who have the HL2 leaked beta, we (Me + others who have HL2Beta) Can access the old, beta versions of the models. The Icthyosaur in this video is probably from the HL2 Retail Edition.

[PartridgeCody]

@Battlepope98 they are jackass look them up at the combine over wiki

[Battlepope98]

@PartridgeCody Okay, well Breen was the beta too, I guess that means its a beta model.

[animakerdrag]

the synths actually made but as hidden in the citadel

[DoctorFreeman97]

weren't there originally going to be children or sumthin and they got cut? i thought i remembered children in pictures of the beta...

[kommandojoe]

ya, there was.

[tommyv2468]

They were actually from hl1.The girl was ment to be alyx.

[bananhosdig]

the little thing at least was used in HL2

if you go out in the water you want see them

[EndreVanan]

All the Crab Synth and Mortar Synth's presences in HL2 was was just a simple easter egg. The Mortar Synth is in the Beta, however the Crab Synth isn't.

Plus, you just used the Half-Life 2 model viewer. None of these models are actually from the Beta. The leech wasn't present in it, and neither was the Crab Synth.

[gmodfan11]

@EndreVanan The crab synth WAS originally gonna be in the game it was like an antlion guard when it charged at you but they made the model and evrything but did not finish the entity so they could not put it in. the entitys in the citadel are "cyclers" which will cycle through animations when damaged. like the advisor in Episode . (not episode 2, episode 2's advisor has its own entity.)

[EndreVanan]

@gmodfan11 No, neither was meant to be in HL2. The Crab Synth and Mortar Synth were, and I stress this, easter eggs. Their designs are older than the current Combine synths, hence the usage of more "organic" materials on their models.

Also, I'm pretty sure that you're pulling the "it was like an Antlion Guard" statement from its animations from the cycle and model viewer. Just because it's entity/animations are in the game doesn't mean that it's technically canon to the story.

[Crazy8Edd]

the synth is barely seen in the actuall game, I wonder how it kills people

[MasterOfYourAss]

lol 2:37 - Rapper much? xD

[albertas53]

i hope you will get to fight the ychy in ep3 and beta hydra

[4Deadserious]

you see the crab synth when your in a pod going to Breen's lab in HL2 on the bridge there walking along with hunters.

[jack930411]

ichthyosaur is scaryiest enemy in ALL hl parts and the scare effect goes mader when shit is in the water also you can't see anything i wold wish my in ep3 come some of them to fight with that wold make me very happy

[gmodfan11]

I found a beta animation.

Its for the poisonous headcrab.

its called "die".

Apparently half-life 2 used to run on the goldsource engine like half-life 1.

Before valve made the source engine and put in physics and "ACT_DIERAGDOLL".

[gmodfan11]

The ichthyosaur used to carry metrocops and other things in its mouth

[gmodfan11]

The constant bang in the music sounds like the crab walking sound :)

[sidneykylebowman1]

Watch Civil Protection. Ross Scott uses the Synth in one of his videos.

Also, good job, man.

[gmodfan11]

Ichtyosaurs scare me so much that when theres one in the water with me im like HOL CRAP IM NOCLIPING OUTTA HERE

[Simonsa1d]

yeah it's like out of no where is pops up you have to get like 2 feet infront of it in water

[gmodfan11]

I think Thes will be in EP3 and i think they might put HL1 cut enemies in except designed to work with the source engine

[TeHDeStrOyER101]

i mean the Ichtyosaur

[TeHDeStrOyER101]

wish they kept him cuz the leeches suck so bad =(

[Tabakrew]

thats a pun!

[HiramTheSith]

i saw all these creatures in the game i saw the crab walking on the bridge, the leeches in the water, and the lchthyosaur in the water also when the teleport malfucntions they all looked awesome but i wish valve could make everyone face these monsters

[gmodfan11]

I agree

[htfkid]

Love how the crab is walking in time with the music :D

[Echidneys]

@htfkid It's kinda cute isn't it?

[penguinboy666]

when it beginz it looks like the kickass head crabs making the metal Bangz

[SocomFan2002]

What would be better Is leeches in lakes Ithys in Ocean Valve Acts Retarded Sometimes They need to think

[gta3gamer56]

So you want mean yo wanted too And ya sorry???

[jellymike46]

well the ithys should be in rout canal were you jump in the water and swim to the train car

[gta3gamer56]

im so unhappy after saying the icthyosaur

have been replaced by a stupid little fish

Nahhhhh

I wont Valve replace the leechers by itchyosaur

That npc is really nice

[JockenTheGreat]

In a matter of fact, you can see the ichtysauros in another place than during the teleport malfunction. I heard about it a long time ago, that you could noclip right after the teleport malfunction and see him somewhere in some ocean.. not quite sure, though.

[zombienoob22]

The crab synth actually made it in game. You can see while you are in a combine pod while going to Dr.Breen's office. But unfortenatly it was wasn't fightable since they were walking somewhere and you were in a pod.

[mrGlitch2000]

I already kow that the Crab Synth and the Mortar Synth can be seen at the pod ride.

They are both also fully gihtable enemies in the HL2 Leak.

[zombienoob22]

Fightable? Sweet, i'm so going to get hl2 leak/beta again!

[gmodfan11]

the fact id the model is the only thing that wasny cut.

the crab u see is actually an entity called cycler (i think)

cycler + entity that changes animations when hurt

[jellymike46]

at 238 it looked like he was roaring thats what he should do when hes after you and you get out of the water i wish they were real

[jellymike46]

the ichthyosaure should be out side the boat in ep3

[HLshadow]

The Ichyasaur was seen in HL1. I am pretty sure it was also in in opposing force. Maybe Blue shift I don't know. they were supposed to be obsticales that only one weapon could really damage them because they are under water. They were used in hl1 because they were in an aquarium but got out. In Hl2 it doesn't really fit into any point in the game.

[mrGlitch2000]

The reason the Ichthyosaur was cut from HL2 because there wasn't many places that you could swim in big open lakes and Valve cut the many levels with the open lakes.

Since there is only Oceans to swim in and a couple of bit of water like in the retail HL2.

He is seen in the leak with his AI replacing the Leeches.

[HLshadow]

"In Hl2 it doesn't really fit into any point in the game. " that was the last sentance in my comment. and basically what you said was the same thing :)

[SuperShadow]

The idea of the Ichyasaur eating you if you got too far in water reminded me of that one old PS2 game, in which it did the same thing... what was it... oh yes, Jak and Daxter.

[firewurker]

Houndeye made it in retail i saw it on a hl2 level on SMOD

[Zero2562130]

SMOD has more NPCs than HL2.

[kychu24]

the itchyosaur is in hl2 for a short moment i guess people just got to scared of it from hl and they just had a short appearance from it.

[mrGlitch2000]

When the Combine got to Earth they killed 80% of all living things of Earth most Xen creatures you see in HL1 are extinct in Half-Life 2 but they are not extinct in what remains of Xen.

[hl202]

Nice video. What's the first song called?

[mrGlitch2000]

Last Pendulum

From the HL2 EP2 OST

[DigitalLameFan]

well how about that. Ichthyosaur could have made HL2 awesome by just swalling you whole or munching you whille launching at you with full speed.

We get lame leeches instead.

[mrGlitch2000]

It's a fully working NPC in Half-Life : Rennaisance and it uses the model and animations seen in this video.

[portalmaker08]

KICK ASS.the crocodile fish thing should be in the normal half life 2 :(

[mrGlitch2000]

It's called the Icthyosaur it was supposed to stop you from swimming out too far in the ocean but he got replaced with the Leeches.

[PWNAAAGE]

=O First view and comment =P nice video btw.
