perlin beam testing

[Left4dead4miller]

ded!...not big surprise

[Broadcastermaster29]

Needs 2 coils, one going one way and another going opposite, one the sprites are added should look much better by then

[accountmaniac]

the thing about the original perlin beam is that the sound it made was absolutely ear-rapingly noisy! PLEASE MAKE IT QUIETER!

[skyfire1129]

@accountmaniac MAKE IT LOUDER *trollface*

[lucasmontec]

@skyfire1129 LOUDER

[the12221]

amazing!

[CaRiPzZo]

Cum shooter or spider-man gun?

[glados360]

@CaRiPzZo -_- Mature People Is A Lie On Youtube?!?

[Kaweebo]

It shoots spaghetti!!

[Thesupermario100]

I bet those Black Mesa guys got hit by that beam and died....

[lpbulletpor]

Please, mod ;__;

[MHardeman25]

Don't cross the streams!

[tristan3795]

WHEN IS BLACK MESA GOING TO COME OUT!!!

[madnezzcombat]

@tristan3795 When it's done...

[xsantosis]

This mod will be epic for sure :)

[Metalsonic2008]

WOOOO SPIDERMAN IS HERE!

[supersonicbros23]

it shoots silly string?

[TheInventor200]

guys, when someone posts a video about a project they're working on, there's an old saying that goes with it:

NOTHING YOU SEE IN THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A FINAL PRODUCT BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON IT!

[blahdob]

Silly string

[XManXHunterX]

SPIDER MAN!!!

[mattstorm360]

nice.

oh and DONT CROSS THE STREAMS

[LoadedWingshot]

i think you guys should maybe add another trace to it, more, electrical lol, and if you guys need an idea of what textures to use try photoshop it lol, make it just like the old one

[pie189]

@LoadedWingshot fucking dumbass it hasin't been textured yet

[LoadedWingshot]

@pie189 Fucking dumbass I KNOW THAT!!! Stop bitching its a video game

[pie189]

@LoadedWingshot lol u noob then why did u complain bout it?

[LoadedWingshot]

@pie189 complain? I was trying to give advice really, but whatever, you see it a different way

[muninen]

to idiots thinking this is the final version ITS A TEST

[HackVirusCheat]

look like cum

[XAxiusX]

@HackVirusCheat Aren't you clever?

[Shadowfire103]

Silly string?

[Judes6647]

Dont cross the streams! :D

[shidload]

Looks like Metal Gear's VR training

[foxhound1029]

Don't attempt to reason with them, this is Youtube after all.

[dreamshooter90]

Don't cross the beams! :D

[chrisnorth27]

Oh Black Mesa the "Duke Nukem Forever" of the mod community. It's a shame no one will ever get to actually play you. I remember reading about you back in 2006 and then seeing the news about the final release in 2008-2009-2010... and now here we are 2015. HL2 episode 3 was awesome, the new trailers for HL3 and portal3 look great, and yet the BM message boards are still closed and all we get are some pictures of neat ideas. RIP Black Mesa 2004-2015 "No one ever played you"

[dreamshooter90]

@chrisnorth27 Don't give up! Hang in there with me bro. We shall get trough this together! I know they can do it! I just know they can! :D

[dragonbaas]

@dreamshooter90 they will because they will not make duke nuke 4ever's biggest mistake: constantly choosing better engines: black mesa will stick to the source engine

[caketakeshh]

@chrisnorth27 so you also traveled with a time traveling machine i see

[syrzyk]

Uhhhh The gun is shaking but beam is not - You should either make gun less shaky or add some kind of recoil effect? Hmmm Original verision had no recoil as I remember? Then again - maybe the gun is a bit too shaky?

[QwertyTSecond]

Ah, the practical applications of string theory.

[boomerxxx]

idiots, this is only to show how the beam will act.

[Eclipsepoland]

@boomerxxx i dont think it shows anything...

[drotonmanXD11]

it must be bigger and blue :d

[orkkilla5589]

@drotonmanXD11 dumbass this is just a test

[Eclipsepoland]

i dont like the ray look

[orkkilla5589]

@Eclipsepoland its just a test dumbass

[Eclipsepoland]

@orkkilla5589 I STILL DONT LIKE IT :(

[orkkilla5589]

@Eclipsepoland a test for how the beam is going to be plotted

[Eclipsepoland]

@orkkilla5589 i dont see a point in this... composer for example dont show procces of music making in videos he just finish it and then: publish ...

[bigstevie01]

@Eclipsepoland They're showing their progress and keeping fans interested. Game developers can take years to finish a project, easily. Mod teams can take even longer. Creating music takes a couple of afternoons.

[8B6EB8]

@Eclipsepoland its interesting for programmers - FL studio musicians also show their progress on tracks and share tips with others who are starting out, and watch the latest gluon development vid if you want to see actual examples, you fucking idiot.

[Eclipsepoland]

@8B6EB8 a lot of shitty music creators do that... but not pros - u fucking idiot

[8B6EB8]

@Eclipsepoland obviously they must be very shitty. you dont know shit my friend. go fucking do your research before you say shit - fl studio is going pro, even deadmau5 is using it and if you call that shitty go stick a pole up your ass.

[Eclipsepoland]

@8B6EB8 don't impute me your pole pleasures homo

and im not talking about FL idiot... im talking about noobs using it... nub can use pro tools or Cubase 5.5 but its still dont make him a pro.

[q009q009]

@Eclipsepoland Who gives a fuck what you like. It's a test how the beam will behave NOT the actual texture look

[Eclipsepoland]

@q009q009 Maybe if they focus on work rather then showing off what they done so far and recording it on yt ...should i finish? no i wont u know what i mean...

[q009q009]

@Eclipsepoland Well. They actually DID focus on work instead of showing off what they've done. ;P

[sorajsm]

SPIDAMAN

[austint130]

Wild Gordon used String Shot!

[xSquiggumsx]

Enemy Zombie's attack fell!

[PurpleAlien73]

GET AWAY FROM DA BEEM!

[leonardo444114]

Its not... its not shutting down.

OH NOO

[JFGermann]

looks like it's shooting strings :(

[streetster20]

@JFGermann SpiderMan XD

[coder0xff]

Seeing as though this is just a test of the perlin function, I'm wondering if it's performing the computations realtime, or did you just use the perlin function to make an animated texture?

[Corn3bus]

Looks like a ubercharge :)

[tylergarynoahcox]

The gun is good! Make sure to add the textures for the gun and sounds!

[spiderplant]

You mean "purin" test, right? :v

[xxbladerunner71xx]

DONT CROSS THE BEAMS!!!!1

[Isakuma]

Haha!

[coleb223]

dude they changed it and made it ten times better

[nopushbutton]

wow this is actually a pretty cool effect; if you took out the straight beam it would be a really good silly string-type effect

i'm sure the final version will be mindblowing, though :)

[morthifer]

@buckeye53524

ye, its orginal weapon from hl

[buckeye53524]

Is this a weapon that was normally in Half-Life?

Or is it a new one that BlackMesa is planning on adding in? Either way it looks cool, and I won't complain if it makes it into the final single-player game. ;)

[Commeting]

Yeah this is originally from Half life 1..it's name is "Gluon gun" or "Egon gun"

[TVsFrank81]

IMO, it would look better (more powerful) if the beams were thicker.

[MichaelTannock]

That's not the actual beam, it's the path of the beam traced on screen for testing.

[nickkproductions]

wow this looks so awesome, great work

[dodgedart74]

its nov-19-09, its been fuckin YEaRS SINCE YOU TEASED US WITH THIS SHIT JUST RELEASE IT!!! SHOW US YOUR BETTER THAN VALVE AND RELEASE SOMETHING BEFORE I DIE!

[ChexGuy331]

CRY MORE YOU FUCKING TROLLFAG.

[dodgedart74]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaa

[roryos]

sexy :D

[Berniebud]

@cooldude27109507

we know, we are just giving constructive critisism

[MichaelTannock]

You know that's not the actual beam right? It's a line tracing the path of the beam for code testing purposes.

[Berniebud]

@MichaelTannock

how was i supposed to know thaT?

[MichaelTannock]

The fact that you feel you've been treated unfairly is perfectly understandable, as that wasn't put in the description for you.

But to answer your question, there are two reasons we think you should have known. The first being that not all of these tests have materials enabled, like the "Controller Movement" and the "Edge Detection for Roaches", and the second being that the overall quality of work isn't so crappy that it would come as no surprise to you if the Gluon Gun fired silly string.

[severinious]

@MichaelTannock Oh, I didn't know that. If you are wondering what I am replying about, look in the highest rated comments.

[MichaelTannock]

@severinious If you want to find out more, the algorithm that was used is called Perlin Noise.

[roryos]

Description: "ALPHA GAMEPLAY: This is old stuff guys, don't get worked up about it."

read next time please

[Berniebud]

@roryos

... i did read the description, WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO PUT IN THE COMMENTS?!?!?!

[Stephenlee5]

LOL the comments! :D

Awesomesauce! It looks perfect at this stage already!

[monkeylad44]

Read the description, it's old stuff!

[Berniebud]

@monkeylad44

i know ....

[monkeylad44]

Obviously, you didn't.

As far as "WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO PUT IN THE COMMENTS"

as said in reply to roryos...something else! Anything! Write THIS IS COOL or I hope it comes out soon! or nothing at all! Goddamn I'm sick of seeing stupid people type in shit without reading descriptions to be sure what they're typing isn't completely stupid. AGGGH

[seanbas]

comments are for comments, silly or otherwise, if he wants to type a retarded comment let him and if you want comment him back telling him hes an idiot, no need to tell him to fuck off completely. of course your comment is allowed aswell just thought i'd add this.

[monkeylad44]

Lol, yes you have a point. I woulda said it nicer...but it gets frustrating seeing idiocy so often. :P

[Jaramide]

Very nice. Can't wait until we see it all finished and shiny

[xd928]

The beam still needs some work.

[xd928]

I think it needs to be thicker that's all...

[MichaelTannock]

You realise that what you're seeing in this video is simply a line tracing the path of the beam, and not the actual beam?

[d3vak]

looks great!

make it with a continuous fart sound.

.

.

.

i dont know why i said that.

[thintil]

Perlin noise for the weapon? Hurr durr :)

[coolmanjasdeep]

looks like silly string :D

[freredarme]

Nice hud !

[TheSuperHeroBoy]

IMMA FIRING MAH LAZOR))

Beam is good) nice work guys!

[MagnitudePerson]

Awesome!!!

Test

[D4rkD3stiny]

damn read the god damn discription! "This is old stuff guys, dont get worked up about it"!!!!

[pivotdeadking]

looks like Sperm

[doom032]

I don't know what your sperm looks like but if it comes out like that, I think you should see a doctor.

[pivotdeadking]

LOL!!! AHAHAHA JK im 12 lol!!

[weeman911]

pivotdeadking LOL AHAHAHAHA ya know that does kinda look like cum shot but WHen its released it will have that blue EFFECT

[Trampboy931]

omg i want that silly string cannon :D

[VooDooMadMan]

Ghost Busters anyone?

[TheBeeseik]

thats why it was actually called the "egon" in the console in hl1. i thought that was funny as hell

[Keresh2]

Read about it on the wiki you moron. It's really not that hard. It's the beam effect they are using for the gluon gun.

[Sugardude]

Perlin noise is a way to generate a wave that's moves about randomly, maybe they are using a Perlin noise generator to draw the twisting ray...

[PivotStorm]

NO NO NO!!! u ruinin the weapon!!! this weapon is the best weapon of half life it should be strong one with giant beam!!!

[chrisstorvik]

read the video description

[sethzilliano]

Um... that's just the base model.

They're going to add a large blue beam on top of that.

Think of that as a wireframe.

So calm down. :P

[onkelarne2]

Actually, if you listen to one of the comment-speech-bubble-thing, in the beginning of ep.2, (if you have turned it on ofc.) you hear that he says; "blablabla in this 2.nd episode of an trioligy", and something about "an upcoming 3rd. episode" :)

[Milner62]

I dont recall hearing that speech bubble and i listened to all of them in episode 2. How ever its right though its part 2 of a 3 part triology. The idea at the time was to release the next game, basically half life 3 in episodic format so people wouldnt have to wait 10 years to get the next game they would be playing little chunks of the game every year is how they figured. Their orignal idea was to have episode 3 out by 2008.

[anask15]

oh my good lord stop spamming over a pathetic argument

[onkelarne2]

ah ok :)

[nesscypher]

i heard black mesa source is being bundled in the valve black box, which contains duke nukem forever, ep3, natural selection 2

[flashlight929]

I luled.

[monkeylad44]

lol

[Milner62]

I didnt post 22+ times about it. I stated it and your the one bitching like a child about it all because its called Half Life 2 Episode X so there for it cant be Half Life 3 when even Valve says that it is and that they probably should have called it half life 3 episode X. either way i dont care.

[Milner62]

sudpuzzer many claim it should because even Gabe Newell stated that a better name would have been Half Life 3 Episode X instead of Half Life 2 Episode X. They just went with Half Life 2. But any way the episodes will end the current story line and most movies end as a triology. Half life 1 shows the start of a Xen invasion. Half Life 2 explains how the Combine were pushing those from Xen back and took over earth. Half Life 3 shows the fall of the combine on earth.

[sudpuzzer]

Also, who cares? It's called what it's called, Valve can call the games whatever they want.

Eat it.

[Milner62]

yea valve can and Gabe even said a better name for the game would be Half Life 3 Episode X. But they just went with half life 2. so in the end you are the one that cares since your making a big deal out of it like others are. What I stated is the truth episode 3 is the last of this story arc, Gabe refers to it as half life 3 because to wait 10 years to release half life 3 in non episode format would be released after they retired.

[Milner62]

This was also said in the same article.

"Half-Life 3 [a.k.a. Episodes One to Three] is about the relationship with the G-Man and what happens when he loses control of you, when youre not available to him as a tool and how he responds to that, and what are the consequences of that. Alyx and the relationship with her is a big focus in Episode One and the larger story about your evolving relationship with the G-Man. Thats the text of the trio of episodes.

[sudpuzzer]

Lol.

As far as I know, the episodes will complete the story arc with the Combine invading Earth and such. There will be a new story arc for Half-Life 3.

It doesn't make any sense to argue that a game titled Half Life "2" - Episode X could constitute a game which many claim should be called Half Life "3".

[Milner62]

So WOW ramirezoid you are a idiot for jumping the gun saying I am making shit up when alittle search online for "half life 3" brought up numerous articles as well as doing some looking into half life episodes bring up all the information that I have stated. So in the end I am right and you are wrong. TY for wasting yours and my time.

[Milner62]

Taken from Video Gammers Blog

"Last year when Valve was asked why they went with the Half-Life 2 episodic system, Valves co-founder Gabe Newell answered that Half-Life 2: Episode One released on June 1st 2006, Half-Life 2: Episode Two thats now coming in late 2007, and Half-Life 2: Episode Three thats hopefully coming in 2008, all put together serve as the third game in the series."

[Milner62]

Taken from GameSpot

"Today's gold announcement was the first official confirmation that a third Half-Life 2 episodic update is in development. Like Episode Two, Valve divulged little in the way of information about Episode Three, saying only that it was the last "in a trilogy...that will conclude by Christmas of 2007"

[Vlodrak]

glad to see that theyre still uploading stuff.

I get annoyed when mods promise a release date and then just die.

BLACK MESA 4EVA!!

[Gammerman12]

Lazors

Imma firin' them.

[Exoskeletor]

reminds me of ghostbusters

[85552100]

Why I didn't see this weapon in media?

[15Protech]

cause it looks ugly as shit haha

[halo01234567]

the devolopers not refreshing the site

[tube46562]

i cant wait to use this weapon against Garg at the Xen^!!!!

[cheesyPOOF5]

Needs more particle effects

[tatur007]

Good !

[Milner62]

this is what i found on videogameblog.

"Developer Valve said it will be the last episode in the currently planned story arc, but it will not be the end of the Half-Life franchise, so Half-Life 2: Episode 4 or in a way Half-Life 3 might be entirely possible."

[RonPaulOrDie]

I'm pretty sure it will continue with Gordan

[Milner62]

Im not sure valve hasnt really said much but the way I understand it it wont follow gordon anymore is how I am understanding it. I will go to valves site and see if theres any information on half life and read up again and see if my understanding changes will reply back if its the same or different.

[RonPaulOrDie]

I would be REALLY disappointed if it wasnt with Gordon, unless it was with a whole new character, not Alyx or Barney or Shephard... wait... MAYBE alyx if she and gordon fall in love and then gordon DIES and she never talks again and fights on to avenge him ha

[Milner62]

who knows, maybe they keep gordon maybe they have you play as someone else. Maybe the next story doesnt take place after the combine rise and fall, maybe it doesnt even take place on earth. For all we know we could be revisiting black mesa as someone new with a new story line.

[MultiWolf9]

They nuked Black Mesa at the end of OpFor, and you can clearly see from the hands that it is indeed gordon freeman.

[Milner62]

yes they did nuke black mesa at the end of op force. Thing is though they could go back to black mesa before the cascade effect and have you play as someone else. Like wise they could go to Aperature instead I mean its all just speculation.

[RonPaulOrDie]

didnt you disarm the nuke?

[Milner62]

In op force you disarm the nuke but if you look out the window before taking the elevator down you see the Gman at the nuke rearming it. Then when your aboard the ospree before you teleport to another dimension you see a flash of white which is black mesa blowing up.

[MultiWolf9]

Wait, if it was before the resonance cascade then there would be no Xen aliens, HECU marines, or Race X aliens either...

[Milner62]

it doesnt mean that. half life 1 started out before the resonance cascade. Same as Blue shift. Opposing force started after the resonance cascade. I was just saying the game would take place before it happened like in half life 1 or blue shift.

[MultiWolf9]

Oh, so you mean a different character, but the same setting and timeframe. A possibility, but so far it seems to me that they will be going with Freeman as the main character, unless they decide to change at some point before the mod's release.

[Milner62]

well I dont mean this mod im talking about valve, they say after half life 2 episode 3, they are done with the current story line but not the end of half life. This story line involves freeman so it would have to revolve around someone else is how I understand it. Or it revolves around free man but in a different story line though.

[themaster0fclimax]

I think that after ep 3 gordon will be transported into the future again and meet new carecters and a new enemy =D maybe.

[eateroftheflame]

Have you even played ep 2? They can't just leave that story line gaping open they'll be finishing that first. Maybe when they release half life 3.

[themaster0fclimax]

I SAID AFTER! after after after hl2 ep 3!

I meant for hl3 maybe =)

[Milner62]

when episode 3 comes out or half life episode 3 the story will be wrapped up. half life 2 episode 1, 2, and 3 is in theory half life 3. when you combine the episodes its basically the 3rd game which is supposed to end the story of half life 2 which is a continuation of the orignal half life.

[Ramirezoid]

Stop making shit up.

[Milner62]

get a life im not making shit up. My information came directly from planet half life back when Episode 2 came out and episode 3 was confirmed and episode 3 was to be the last of this current half life story line but not the end of the half life universe or half life name just this story line. If you are too ignorant to know that sorry I cant dumb it down anymore than I have.

[mikeyg345]

They said it works as half life 3 but they didn't say IT IS half life 3. Becuase look at the titles of them they are "Half life 2". It doesn't mean the story is going to be wraped up, nobody knows that and nobody at Valve has said that, if episode 3 doesn't finish it, you bet your ass there will be a "half life 3" game.

[Milner62]

well you need to read the article on Gammers Blog because even Gabe newell said and i quote.

"People were pretty clear that they didnt want to have to wait as long as they had previously to find out what happened.

Probably a better name for [the three Half-Life 2 Episodes arc] would have been Half Life 3: Episode One, but these three are what were doing as our way of taking the next step forward, but Half-Life 2 was the name we used"
