Steam Community :: Non-Windows HEV Boot

Am I Right, Marines?! 4 Dec, 2024 @ 9:39pm

Lmao now this is an autistic workshop item.

Alynn 20 Jul, 2024 @ 11:16pm

imagine you're in a foreign hostile world and your hev bsods because of a faulty security update :skull:

Halberd 16 Apr, 2024 @ 9:54pm

Remember, there's a built-in spray in HL1 saying that Linux is better, and Valve's own OS is based on Linux, so this is probably what Valve would've done if they had a similar startup sequence thing.

CaptainofPie 15 Jan, 2024 @ 7:24pm

because hes a linux user or something

SH0D4N 15 Jan, 2024 @ 2:27pm

cool addon. just one question, why do you care that the og hev boot sequence is based on windows?

CaptainofPie 22 Jul, 2023 @ 9:54pm

in all honesty, the HEV probably uses a heavily modified version of Windows NT 4.0 or 5.0

Business Burd 24 Apr, 2023 @ 2:03am

Dumb question, but what if I want to change the name listed during bootup? I want to change it from Freeman, Gordon, to something else.
I tried modifying the existing file in the VPK but all that does is ruin the alignment but keep the old text.

As a Linux user, thank you

jorisrietveld 19 Jun, 2022 @ 12:40pm

I found it annoying to! Why is there a C: before the root path and are the slashes all backwards?

Marchiori 1 May, 2022 @ 7:41pm

IDC if it looks good in game, IDC if the boot sequence make sense with an HEV suit, IDevenC if it works in game, It's open source, thus it is good. Here, have my Points.

After all these years of Gordon Freeman being a mute. He finally speaks up just to say that he cares, what a chad.

gertie friendmont 15 Dec, 2021 @ 1:10pm

I do, bitch.

Igor Doinkdanoffs 19 Sep, 2021 @ 7:18pm

who cares?

tpd1864blake 15 Aug, 2021 @ 6:28pm

Getting this because I like the concept, but if I'm not aware of it during gameplay I don't think I'll ever tell that the startup is modified

KJ 25 Jun, 2021 @ 6:50am

Glad to see that the Black Mesa modding community is changing details so minute I will never realise it in game play.

Updated to sync with the latest update.

natsumi or something idk 19 Jul, 2020 @ 6:04am

Xenthio 11 Apr, 2020 @ 5:03pm

Hedy #RememberPortal 3 Apr, 2020 @ 4:52pm

lllltepahhcs 8 Feb, 2020 @ 2:08pm

Hey. At least it's not Lindows!!! Or. Last I heard.. LinSpire!!! That's it...... At least it's not LinSpire! The Wanna be Linux clone..

Lewis Kazovsky 23 Jan, 2020 @ 2:16pm

ritardo milos 18 Sep, 2019 @ 10:10am

Felix 14 Sep, 2019 @ 4:52am

Thank you for this!

It's you 23 Aug, 2019 @ 2:10am

oh linux.

ulotrichous 31 Jul, 2019 @ 8:56pm

\/ I heard that the computers at black mesa run on windows 98.

beat 16 Jul, 2019 @ 11:12am

also its more funny if it literally runs on xp, it sounds so funny to think of scientists trying to get a hazard suit to run on xp

beat 13 Jul, 2019 @ 11:52am

y tho, if it runs on windows xp it runs on windows xp shuddup about it

Honnestly, If You Like Unix Or Something Else, Go For It, But I'm More Of A Windows Guy, But I Respect Your Choice, It Has Its Advantages, But For Me, More Trouble, Hey, At Least It's Not Mac OS X

Tom 30 Mar, 2019 @ 7:31am

Hey, this mod either crashes the game or changes some of the text to chinese looking letters.

soup6020 24 Nov, 2018 @ 1:01pm

As it should be.

Flaninty 23 Nov, 2018 @ 12:33pm

Crashes the game

sylandro [author] 23 Nov, 2018 @ 8:33am

@Dynamite Dinosaur

Did you try putting the vpk in your custom folder?

Dynamite Dinosaur 23 Nov, 2018 @ 8:06am

For me, the last 2 lines of text are still the same as the vanilla game. I saw your earlier comment saying that you changed something else to fix this, but it does not seem to work.

Battlepigeon 22 Nov, 2018 @ 10:52am

11/10

Could you also make a HEV BSOD mod?

Choppy 22 Nov, 2018 @ 4:48am

Cortana. Master Chief assistant and .... ?

JamesCastle53562 21 Nov, 2018 @ 3:56pm

Finally, a mod focusing on real world important problems.

sylandro [author] 20 Nov, 2018 @ 7:12pm

@DahMainahGaimah

It happened to me too, I discovered that if I only changed 18 of the 20 lines it worked, so I changed one of the other resources to read 18 lines instead.

@EmptyMag
Halo was made by Bungie who exclusively made games for Apple computers until Microsoft bought the rights to Halo, which is a successor to one of the Mac's biggest FPS franchises, Marathon. Microsoft didn't make Halo, they just own it. And now the series sucks since Bungie left so eh lol
