i probably won't document as many of the smaller changes from this point on, like this one, but we will see.
anyway rule 78. i own all SMOKE

(map c1a0d)
in addition to stalls, there are now a couple urinals, which i've ported from the locker room in blue shift

(map c1a0d)
the sink is now interactable, and i've replaced the wooden shelves with a mirror and moved the paper towels onto the counter

(map c1a0d)
this guy uses the dryer, because he has nothing better to do

(map c1a0a)
splashing a bit of color in certain areas via light shafts

(map c1a0d)
added another witness to the great casserole tragedy of 200-

(map c1a0)
took the little security camera from uplink and stuck it in the spot where barney spies on gordon from the surveillance room in blue shift. just make sure to RP walk past the scientist or else you'll break canon

(map c1a0)
scientists working at consoles and computers will now have audible typing sounds to accompany them! these types of changes are admittedly small, but i feel can add a lot to the game's atmosphere.

(map c1a0)
an unused VOX welcome announcement has been restored.
wasn't quite sure where it would've been heard originally, so i decided to place it in the airlock before you're let into the labs.

slight adjustments + video of the goo in action

(map c0a0d)
the toxic waste spill has recieved a small makeover.
by editing the lightmaps, i've added a glow to the surrounding environment. i plan to do this with all instances of green goo.

(map c0a0b)
the apache preparing for liftoff will actually fly up and away.
fun fact, the apache was just a cycler entity in the original map.

(map c0a0c)
also taken from the ps2 port, this train!
the original had broken textures and much simpler geometry.
i've also added glowing sprites to the barriers.

(map c0a0)
taken from the ps2 port, this bit has been improved drastically. the offices now have windows, and the catwalk has guardrails.

(map c0a0)
beginning with... the tram ride

i've added an intro stinger, i think it fits nicely.
barney is without his sidearm and vest, as implied in blue shift, and you can now hear the guard on the other side of the door trying to unlock it for him.

take a look at barney, he'll look back at you!

this thread will serve as a showcase of what the mod has to offer, and will also act as personal log of my progress.

one goal with this project is to strengthen the connection between half-life and its later expansion packs, without coming off as fan service. at the moment characters from opposing force, blue shift and decay likely won't be making any new appearances, but they may be referenced in subtler ways.

the goal of this project is to revisit half-life's campaign and improve on certain aspects such as visuals, enemy encounters and scripted sequences, while not straying away from the core gameplay experience. as such, this will be a small scale mod and there won't be many changes to the map geometry.
