Good map - I like that we progress without any weapons (including crowbar) until the middle part!

@SB he never died
SB 15 Jul, 2024 @ 2:59am 
i think you're supposed to get the shotgun from the security gaurd that will die from the vortigaunt

i love the map but why all the shotgun ammo everywhere when you dont get a shotgun (or did i miss it)
Painevan 20 Apr, 2024 @ 10:58pm 
This is a great map, awesome that I'm able to save the Shotgun guard

I always subscribe before doing this stuff and it dosen't work.
Thanks for trying but I don't know what to do.
Gvarados  [author] 22 Jan, 2023 @ 7:24pm 
You have to subscribe to the Steam Workshop item. There are instructions on how to play the map in the description above.

I find problems like this with every single map I would LOVE to play, except Further Data and other stuff, idk. It seems to be specific to maps that need to be loaded by typing it in the console.

When I type everything, even correctly, and press ENTER, it says it is invalid or missing.
Fix? Plz

It's cool, similar to the beginning of Half-Life. The first half of the map you have no weapon and have to avoid enemies or kill them with environment and flares.
ryanwar1231 12 Jul, 2022 @ 9:07am 
it says that not found or invaild can someone pls tell me whats going on lol

Delabane 7 Feb, 2022 @ 1:37pm 
it looks like office complex
user44 3 Jan, 2022 @ 10:49pm

I managed to save the shotgun guard but he was stuck in the other room, kinda sad.

cacpitch 5 Feb, 2021 @ 7:17am 
Excellent ! Especially the begining without guns :P Good job !
TheoRex 1 Feb, 2021 @ 5:29am 
I'm sad you can't just click on the workshop in the main menu.
Anschluss 15 Nov, 2019 @ 8:25pm 
Fun. Focus on Xen hostiles is refreshing. Sad that they all die...
ino123 12 Sep, 2019 @ 7:45am 
Sad ending. :steamsad:
RedHotSPARTAN54 27 Aug, 2019 @ 1:09am 
This was a great map man, I really enjoyed how you made the first part of it. Its like you had to survive on your own with whatever you could find. It was really and i never got lost like some maps tend to make you.
PatriotsFan50 23 Aug, 2019 @ 8:47pm 
This is a nice map that takes about 10 minutes to beat. Worth the download :)
Summerset Banjo 5 Aug, 2019 @ 8:25pm 
Sure go ahead and fix the maps. if its not a bother maybe make a version with it being solo maps for those that prefer that and the another that is incorporated directly into the campaign for folks like me that want more twist in their black mesa experience. (maybe even make where these doorville maps are optional alternate paths. secret areas like classic fps's of old.)
Gvarados  [author] 5 Aug, 2019 @ 2:17pm 
no but it would be possible to make them seamless
Summerset Banjo 5 Aug, 2019 @ 1:20pm 
and they will work directly in the campaign just like surface tension uncut?
Gvarados  [author] 4 Aug, 2019 @ 11:21pm 
Actually the download is down because it doesn't work with the newer Black Mesa updates. Here's one of the maps: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1205460043

Idk if it works. If you want, I can get all the door ville maps and fix them.
Gvarados  [author] 4 Aug, 2019 @ 11:13pm 
Check out door ville on RTSL. It was a challenge where mappers had to take an existing door from the game and make a map based on what's behind it.

Summerset Banjo 4 Aug, 2019 @ 10:45pm 
Fun map. I'm kinda curious what it would be like if single player maps like this one could somehow be modified and incoprated into the main campaign for a seemless experiance.
Rarity 22 Jun, 2019 @ 5:45am 
I found the Secret weapon ^^
bassfisherman12 7 May, 2019 @ 11:12am 
Excellent mod! Well done! You almost really feel scared as if you are really Freeman in those dark hallways. Keep it up! Please make some more. I can't wait to play.
Bearish Hat 5 May, 2019 @ 6:03am 
nice map
Memestinct 22 Apr, 2019 @ 8:43am 
Great map! I really enjoyed it!
Gvarados  [author] 2 Apr, 2019 @ 1:35pm 
Thank you!
[TeamPivo] nibble on da nipple 2 Apr, 2019 @ 1:33pm 
Great map! I had a lot of fun!
Gordon Nick 30 Mar, 2019 @ 10:47am 
i really love this map it was crazy
Gvarados  [author] 1 Mar, 2019 @ 12:05pm 
Pretty crazy. The ai must have bugged out because I've never seen anything like that. The guard should shoot the lock and it shouldn't even be possible for any of the npcs to die before the aliens start buzzing in.
Jackeroose98 1 Mar, 2019 @ 11:40am 
Decent map story, the weapon placement was really bizarre though, like the door with the lock on it, only after that do you get the crowbar...which is the kinda weapon I needed to break the lock...like really?
Also, after I got the crowbar, I went back through the map, smashed all the boxes and found a Tau Cannon in one of them, like I was supposed to get the crowbar earlier, because I didn't get a single proper weapon up until the tram station area at the end when i picked up a Glock off the ground...FROM A GUARD THAT DIED. If that guard hadn't have died, I wouldn't have been able to progress through that padlocked door...that's not good map/game design.

Still better than Hunt Down The Freeman though. XD

nice little map for 10 minutes of fun, the shotgun security is very useful too, but there is some minor bugs in the map, some automatic doors need to manually open with "e", health and hev station have no sound, and it will be nice if you can set vortigaunt and bullsquid on fire cuz plenty of flare on the map, good job btw
Gvarados  [author] 8 Feb, 2019 @ 8:54am 
uh... Sure.

I was hoping no one would notice the toilet signs. I fixed them but probably won't upload it for a while unless we find some more bugs to fix.
Drinky 8 Feb, 2019 @ 7:08am 
*It's in the unlocked female toilet by the tram with the green toxic waste

oh and is the blood in the female toilet referencing periods? :P
Drinky 8 Feb, 2019 @ 7:07am 
great map, enjoyed it for sure ;D

one thing I did notice was this texture bug: https://i.imgur.com/9C5jFxH.jpg

minor but hey might as well squash it!
Gvarados  [author] 7 Feb, 2019 @ 8:19am 
Oh hahaha
BurtTheButcher7 6 Feb, 2019 @ 9:54pm 
Sorry I left that out.
BurtTheButcher7 6 Feb, 2019 @ 9:53pm 
Oh yeah, one thing that I forgot happened, hence failed to mention, was that I did get to the door you detailed, but immediately after the npc unlocked it he blinked out of existence. This might not even be a problem with your mod, it may just be Black Mesa.
Gvarados  [author] 6 Feb, 2019 @ 11:38am 
@BurtTheButcher7 There is a retinal scanner by where you find the npcs. https://i.imgur.com/Fsn2gNY.gifv

I had planned to have a whole sequence where the npcs would talk and one guard would lead you to the door but didn't have enough time (during the mapping challenge) to make it.
Gvarados  [author] 6 Feb, 2019 @ 11:17am 
Oh that's weird. There is no way to avoid the trigger.
Maybe it's a bug with the game.
Sabbatfan 6 Feb, 2019 @ 11:04am 
I reloaded the map, turns out the vents are meant to crash and fall but the trigger didn't work.
