bm_meltdown

Description
+++ Definitive edition +++

With the coolant systems offline the reactor core is overheating and the military don't seem to realise the danger they're in. Can Gordon prevent a meltdown and save the day?

Meltdown was originally intended to be a single map but due to lighting limitations had to be split into two very short maps. The maps had a very protracted development which was a slog and consequently aren't as polished as I'd have liked.

To play the map:

Run Black Mesa.
EITHER
From Main Menu select Steam Workshop - Installed - Meltdown - Start game
OR
Press tilde (~) to bring up the console.
Type 'map bm_meltdown' into the console and press Enter.

If the console does not appear:
Go to Options -> Keyboard -> Advanced and tick the "Enable Developer Console" option.

Short and enjoyable map! Good performance, and very nice ending. I really enjoyed it.

Really nice map! Visual of the lab looks very clean and nice, map design is good, and events and scripts are cool!

A really nice well rounded mod. I think the Lambda Reactor is something that is overlooked in Black Mesa, since its the machine tat actually brought to Xen. Great job!

This was a really good ride, especially the ending!

@Dr. Klam: Maybe you should get your physics right. The 100MeV in context of a neutron star are about the fermi energy of a single electron in the core of the star. 3 TeV are roughly equal to the kinetic energy of a flying mosquito. In terms of particle accelerators, 3 TeV are something - the LHC operates at 3.5 TeV and peaked 13 TeV while colliding protons in 2015. It's all on Wikipedia, look it up!
Remember: Electronvolts are not Volts!

I love this map! Very cool. A must play.

Dumb steam won't let me do commets over 1000 characters, and I said so much good things about this map, but honestly, no spoilers is better. You HAVE to play it for yourself!

Nice short & sweet map, I liked the use of Shadows of Death for the escape sequence

That was a pretty cool, and well designed, fun map.
Some details took me out of the action a little, but they are nitpicks

I looked in the control room, and the reator was running at about 3000 Giga electron volts. Shit. Normally, you would expect a few MeV (Million electron volts)
I looked it up, and in a Neutron star, the energy can exceed 100 MeV. So 3 TeV is a bit much.
There was no shielding between the control room, and the reactor, and no reactor containment structure, so I think everyone would have been vaporised in a second.
..But then again it's probably a scifi reactor :)

Great map none the less

@Shephard - thanks, glad you enjoy them. I started the basics of a new map a month or two ago but it's on hold for a while. I've been mapping in Source for a few years and find it harder to maintain motivation. Meltdown took a couple of years on and off because of this. I'd expect to finish it eventually, so a 2022/23 release sounds reasonable.
