This is a good mod, but it also suck
I don't know if the creator actually played this game
Or give it to his friends who have never played this game. Then you'll find it's suck.

At 10:45. I can't get through here, I keep falling off the ladder. Any ideas?

In my experience, the reactor puzzle at the end is one of the worst puzzles, and I encountered a bug where I could not insert the item into the reactor hole even though I had already extinguished the fire.

Как я понял продолжение будет после работы с блю шифт?

How do you exit the ladder? Jump key, use key, movement keys? I think there are some "techniques" to exit a ladder that don't work in such places. But it's too long ago for me to remember which one worked.

I stuck on a ladder at 10.45 . I can't go right. Falling down always

Is this a bug or what should i do?

10/10 got ran over by a LAV very scary and crap my pants

Famous gameplay! Finally some real challange, in some ways more advanced than in original stories. I love you have to really need to use a brain here.

@ThOrCS It was due to your youtube walkthrough i found this mod :)

Recently I Just made a walkthrough on entire mod I hope you like it.

@ThOrCS: It isn't cancelled. The reason why it is postponed is this:

At the moment I'm working full pace on Black Mesa: Blue Shift and I can't work on 2 projects of that scale simultaneously. I'm still doing some minor things in terms of content creation but for larger development tasks I need either more time or a way to clone myself :)

Why Phase ll is cancelled? 4 years has been passed but there's no update from mod creator at all.

EDIT: Continuing the maps were getting way better and I started to enjoy them a lot more. Until the reactor and the fire extinguisher part, that part was extremely annoying and unfun, reactor going on every few second while trying to figure the puzzle out was just infuriating. Also after changing the first power cell the elevator bugged and couldnt move to a lower level for the second power cell to change. Couldnt even finish it.

This mod is a bit too annoying for my taste.
Running around without even a crowbar and fighting head crabs with flares is not much fun.
Puzzles (for example. ladder) is way too hidden and takes a lot of aimless running and looking around to just randomly find it.
Spawning 4 vortigaunts around the player in small closed area is also not fun.
There is a lot of invisible textures that blocks movement. For example while trying to figure out a puzzle and jumping on the security building (thought on the roof might be a vent), there is an invisible texture. Would be nice for the building to be taller, if you don't want the player to jump there.

i probably wont ever play it (not a gamer, i literally have no skill), but i watched playthroughs.
and since my eye always lies on architecture, id like to say that some of the large areas feel a bit unrealistic. even for a fictional world like the black mesa rf. remember, its manmade, it had to be constructed and did cost money.
over all, certain areas look a bit to futuristic. to sci fi. noone would build a lab or industrial complex like that. (the same for the lambda compex in hl1 and black mesa).
but very certainly a nice enviroment.

and, maybe in case you care, check if everything is OSHA accurate.

This mod is very well made but the puzzles are SUPER hard. Just finished it but god damn how tricky it was

ви продовжуватимете створювати цю чудову гру Damocles? просто чекаю дуже давно і хотіла б продовжити другу частину

To be honest, Damocles is the sort of mod where just how good the mapping is from a visual standpoint only makes the god awful gameplay hurt more.

I've played mods that have made me love its creator and ones that made me hate it's creator, but this one is a first, it makes me want to grab the modder by the shoulders and shake him/her/it back and forth while going "Why? Why? You've clearly had so much experience using hammer, why would you make such asinine gameplay decisions?"

@IV:XX: Can you please give a detailed description of the issues you've encountered? "Suddenly a script doesn't work" is a pretty abstract definition of an error which doesn't help me figuring out what caused it. Are you using any mods or are you playing on some Black Mesa beta version?

You can play it for two hours and suddenly a script doesn't work, or even worse, the developer decided to play smart and hide an invisible pipe somewhere around a corner, which is very annoying. The level design is better than most mods, but it still sucks, there are interesting ideas and even new types of interaction (though there is very little of it) mode 5/10

Hey @UniversE. You are right. Althought mine is more of a PSA for people who do not know than a rant.Sorry it make you feel that way

Yes, that is quite possible @just trash. However, there are already some sneak peaks available that show Phase 2 content. So we can assume that work has already started and it is a serious project. We just have to be patient (and enjoy Blue Shift in the meantime^^)

Disclamier : Not affiliated with the dev in any way.The dev is working on blue shift so phase 2 aint really going to be released soon.

Absolutely gorgeous level design, fantastic work. Really excited for the continuation.

When Damocles Phase 2 Will be Released ?

Bad

i loved it! 0/5

Ну, потенциал у мода есть, но на сегодняшний день он ОЧЕНЬ "сырой" и глючный.

ok :D

@PacmanYT09: 100% No :)

Is Phase 2 cancelled?

Alright that's enough internet for today

ai voice?
imagine a hecu soldier says this when he gets hit
ahh shoot me harder uwu

there's this new AI that can adapt to anyone's voice and you can make it say anything. Can you please use it and update the voicelines in this mod, please

@XsilverwaterX: no downgrade needed and also not recommended since it is fully patched to BM 1.5
I've disabled additional custom content in general to prevent any conflicts with mods.

do i need to downgrade the current version of BM and only have this mod downloaded w/o other mods as I suspect its conflicting with mine?

this mods not funny. i have no humor for this.
ashame it had good concept too

can you update the mod and ask people more suitable to voice characters

good mode thx man +

Another "aim-and-strafe" military shooting mess... Don't you people have some fantasy in your heads? Shooting is BORING

I wonder how you are planning to implement new weapons and enmeies

love this mod but D**m are the puzzles hard. great work though.

is there a way we can support you like a patreon?

i figured it out make a custom folder in the bms folder and drop the folder in it instead

I try to recreate a more complex exterior in the style of Black Mesa, all combined together on the same map with the dam, the biodome complex and wanted to also put your huge conference room which perfectly fits in the server's administrative sector idea, I know garry's mod is often uglier than Black Mesa when trying to use their maps but I've been able to make good progress so far and make things look nice. Anyway thank you very much ! I'll keep you posted when I'll be done.

@Lass: Of course you can use these assets as long as you credit the author(s) somwhere in your item :)
Which assets do you want to use? I'm asking because some assets are still WIP or using content (e.g. vmt shaders) that doesn't work well in gmod.

@Doom slayer: The Workshop Mounting System the game uses does not work well for large mods which require their own game directory.

@just trash: All my efforts are currently going into Black Mesa: Blue Shift so we can release Chapter 4 as soon as possible and since my day has only 24 hours I don't have too much time left to work on large stuff here.
All I can say is, I'm preparing a HUGE Phase I Update which contains new content, fixes / improvements and pushes everything to Phase II standards. As soon as I got more time I'll do my best to get this update done in one streight shot.

Hey Cyvo ! I am currently working on garry's mod roleplay server and we liked a lot your work on Black Mesa : Damocles and wanted to re-use some of the assets for our map. Could we please have your permission on using it ? Of course we will credit you in the content's description and in the in-game credit menu.

why can't i just launch the mod from the black mesa menu

So how is the mod going?

Sure. Thank you very much for letting me use it!
