[MOD] (Alpha 9) Half-Rim 1 (v0.5.1b)

[SlimeCrusher]

version 0.5.1b

Introduction:
This mod is a recreation of Half-Life 1 (not hl2), it adds new enemies, factions, weapons and buildings, all from the original 1998 release (so no HD pack stuff sorry, only the hecu helmet is hd-based), this mod is still a WIP and needs a lot of tweaking, so play at your own risk. You will have to make a NEW WORLD to play this anyway.
This mod is a WIP, but should be ready to play, i still need to add 1 or 2 more factions, but don't worry, i'll try to add alot of stuff per release so you can play without having to update every 2 days.

.Creatures: They all come from the original game too, they were vanillazed (i.e chopped their arms and legs off)

(left-right) Alien Grunt, Alien Slave (i refuse to call them vortigaunts), Snark, Headcrab, (WIP) Houndeye (i need to find a way to implement sonic attack, it lacks sounds) and Bullsquid.

.Apparel: They all come from the original game, most textures are placeholder, so if anyone has got better textures, tell me!

Rebalanced Tau Cannon, it fires faster, it used to be REALLY inaccuarate, and with the reload time, it made the gun useless.

Modified glock graphic, now ACTUALLY looks like a glock and not like an usp45
Added building "HECU Sentry turret", a turret with low health, but its cheap and fires fast, it also explodes in a smaller radius. (comparing to generic turret)
Plus some extra little stuff i forgot.
V0.5.1:Updated to Alpha 9.
Added Houndeye pawn without sounds (wip).
Added Security guard helmet.
Rebalanced weapons so they match vanilla weapons.
Started working on Half-Rim: Opposing Faction expansion pack, not included ATM.
Fixed wrong version date (0.4 instead of 0.5.1) in "About.xml".
This update isn't very big, i just wanted to get it updated with Alpha 9 so i could work on other stuff.

Known Issues:
N/A, I'm sure there are quite a bit of issues here and there, so if you do find one, tell me and hopefully it'll be fixed!

Incompatible with:
Anything that overwrites the pants def, i'm lazy to make camo pants.

Note:
While i CAN make textures myself, i struggle to make torso apparel that looks good, and i can't code in C#, so if any artists/coders are passing by, i would love any help i can get.

Please, leave feedback on what i should tweak and modify, to make it better for everyone! I can't make a mod if no one ever leaves feedback, for me it means that even if i put alot of work into it, no one will ever care, but right now i'm still doing progress, so if you liked to play this mod, leave your opinions on how i could make this mod better, it helps alot! 
NEW- I took a bit of a rest from making this, but i should start working on it in a few days. Sorry

This is cool!

[Tynan]

Great idea! You should defs post some screenshots here.

You should make a headcrab as a helmet and spawn a new faction of zombies that wear them.

You are just amazing man! Thank you!

Will do! 

You should make a headcrab as a helmet and spawn a new faction of zombies that wear them.

I could, but then that would mean that your colonists could use those "helmets" for themselves, and it would look strange  That's why i preffer to just make a new pawn using the "Thin" body type as a reference, then copy the headcrab on top of that. It'll be a long time before i actually get into making the zombies, i'll make the scientist and guards first.

Updated to Alpha 9 

Edit: OH CRAP!! I've just noticed i forgot to readd the crowbar and the grenade, i removed them so i could update the guns definitions easier, to later readd them lol.
Sorry for inconvenience, will get that fixed ASAP!
