Made a working multi tool

I've seen some people make their own version of the multi tool. Decided to be Alyx for Halloween this year so I have my own take on it.

Shout-out La_tem_ on cults 3d for the model itself.

Used an adafruit feather with oled (which unfortunately is too low voltage to power the LCD), and a small little circuit python script to power the UI.

Thought you all might enjoy, hope you all have a good Halloween as we take back city 17.

Xash3D for the Source Engine (Showcase)

Releasing in a day or two! Can load and run hl2, half life source, css, and portal from my testing. it crashes in portal 2 though

Just like xash3d, the source code is totally modifiable and you can add whatever you want (eg ray tracing, new physics, etc)

Its super early right now, but it'll be far more usable soon!

Via the Steam Community:

  • Add a setting under Advanced Performance to enable Foveated Rendering on desktop for supported hardware (for DirectX: NVIDIA GTX 16XX+, RTX 20XX+; AMD requires launching with -vulkan). Can increase rendering performance. Enable eye-tracking on your headset for best results. More information here.
  • Enable stencil buffer tagging when running natively on Steam Frame to help with object rendering stability.
  • Fix several rendering crashes common in workshop content.
  • Fix "Gnome Alone" achievement failing to unlock for some users.

Discussion What HL1 Xen creatures would you like/have liked to make a reappearance in the series?

Personally, I really would've like to see the Alien Grunts again. Since them and the Vortigaunts are related I think I'd be pretty cool to have them reappear as allies since the Vorts are on the Resistance's side.

Preview: Ultimate Black Mesa Map 2.0

Post image
36 Upvotes

Building off my further work on Owring's amazing map. I went on to get overview pictures of the levels from Decay and the Field Intensity mod, which I think most people will agree is well made and awesome enough to be considered canon, and arranged them accurately to the locations of the OG maps using the points where the maps intersect with the OG maps as reference points. I made as few modifications as I possibly could to maintain accuracy within reason. Again these maps weren't made to be connected in a literal sense and in some cases they aren't spatially realistic with each other. I pretty much limited it to rotation of 90 degrees on the axis of the level transitions if needed.

To make things even better I color coded the maps between HL1, BS, OP4, Decay, and FI and it really helps to make things less confusing. I'm also building off of what Owring did in his original PS document and layering different locations in their approximate depth from the surface in relation to areas around them. Quite the exhausting mental work I gotta tell you.

This is just a low-resolution teaser, I need to do a little more tweaking and add some more location labels and then I'll upload it in full resolution.

I believe somewhere in the Nova Prospekt Wallace Breen says that the transhuman forces need to "prove their worth" to the Combine, but I want to see if anyone else has a different perspective on it.
