tfw your number one target is crouched in front of you, unblinking, emotionless, as you bleed out on the ground

Bruh .50cal is removed and replaced by tow and why you add more alien grunt? it's just no need

When I find this and other Chapter Overhaul addons in the folders, there's stuff like 'STOverhaul_001', do I have to do something with these or should they work fine without me doing something with them?
Notorious2020 1 Apr @ 1:57pm 
Alr I fixed it, idk what addon caused it but unistalling all of my addons and reinstalling em seemed to fix it
Notorious2020 29 Mar @ 11:18am 
do I need to get the bms classic ver to fix this?
Notorious2020 10 Mar @ 1:51pm 
Yeah, the mod is completely broken, I unistalled and reinstalled multiple times and none of the overhaul features are present.
Notorious2020 8 Mar @ 9:24am 
and also the Manta Ray fight at the cliff side no longer shows up. After uninstalling and reinstalling the mod I found out the chapter overhaul no longer works any idea how I can fix this?
Notorious2020 8 Mar @ 8:55am 
Hey uhh new scenes have been playing in this overhaul like a knockback houndeye spawning in the river below the dam fighting a bullsquid and the tank and it's marine patrols going a different direction, and only noticing you when you approach the gate, is this a new update that won't show on it's recently updated patch or am I just stupid and this was always here but I never encountered it?

there's error signs on some HECU marine spawns, do you know how to fix this as I really want to use this mod

is there a way to play these without the black mesa character expantion?
Bloodandironlover 3 Jan @ 9:34pm 
how tf am i supposed to uninstall this? the first map's level trigger is broken

This mod breaks the helicopter battle on the cliff-side, no heli spawns and thus prevent game progression.
Randiee 14 Dec, 2024 @ 4:33pm 
I've suffered a-lot of crashed recently since the update, anything we can do or will it be fixed eventually?
Ruwa (Real Bunny) 12 Dec, 2024 @ 6:01am 
Lots of crashing, any idea of what I can do?

Hey, I have a problem. When I get to the tunnel, the medic who is supposed to be "docile" starts shooting at me as soon as I get close. Does anyone know how to fix this?
triceratop-game 1 Dec, 2024 @ 2:53am 
does this change the gameplay in any way? (the chapter gameplay and fighting)
Someguy 1 Sep, 2024 @ 10:14am 
iam a dumbass because i had to press a green button to open the tunnel
rgawsome231 10 Aug, 2024 @ 10:13pm 
Does this still include the shack easter egg?
Someguy 28 Jul, 2024 @ 2:25am 
There's a softlock when you go to part that has mines everywhere and headcrab keep spawing but when i go to the tunel it softlocks me wow pff but i realy like bmce tho
johndale992 16 Jul, 2024 @ 4:01am 
i keep crashing
Jariner 9 Jun, 2024 @ 8:42am 
Also please remind people in the description that you need the additional "BMCE 2022 - MISC" from BMCE for the custom hecu animations to work.
Jariner 9 Jun, 2024 @ 8:40am 
theres a missing sound ment for the crying hecu which is "ambient\voices\crying_loop1.wav"
either forgotten to put in, or removed since killing the crying hecu still makes the crying sound play.
The Microwave Engineer 15 May, 2024 @ 4:23am 
I've found a Softlock, Where once You've finally destroyed the Apache at the Cliffside battle in Surface-Tension, the Apache starts infinitely spinning at the Part where It's supposed to crash:

well Lofty is telling he has the required ones installed, so huhm
Agent Zadist [He/Him] 22 Apr, 2024 @ 1:14am 
I'm 95% sure that all of you don't understand how to properly fucking install black mesa mods and are bitching about it here
Lofty 21 Apr, 2024 @ 4:51pm 
oh also ALL the "custom animations" this puts in don't work. I have the BMCE as well as the other HECU one it talks about, crying guy isn't appearing, the rest aare T posing. This is a terrible and all you have done is put it back to before the difficulty refinement, and there was again A REASON behind that. Also, you'd again expect a mod that is "putting back in cut set peices" to have actually put in cut set pieces, like the orange ice pop line... you didn't. As stated on the other mod reader this mod JUST adds more frustrating enemy spawn and some beta routes around the map, which were deleted on purpose anyways for a better flow to the map :/.
Lofty 21 Apr, 2024 @ 4:16pm 
This isn't so much of an "overhaul to put back in scenes from half-life crowbar collective cut", this is "we've put ALL the annoying stuff crowbar collective created that they cut put back in". The only "set piece" this resurrects imo is the tentacle in surface tension, all the rest is just annoying stuff the team realised was annoying and cut.... like 2x the amount of marines in the questionable ethics area, only 1 machine gun on the dam so you are dead by the time you run to it, oh and of course 4x the amount of marines EVERYWHERE. This is boring and there is a reason they refined it a bit more, no one wants to spend an hour trying to do one bit because the AI is super accurate and you arn't :/. Download this only if you like added frustration.
CerealWithoutRoaches 10 Apr, 2024 @ 7:09am 
this is so broken man. triggers all over the place, that one half life source skybox glitch hallways that lead to nothing, what the fuck man?!
Phantron 30 Mar, 2024 @ 3:11pm 
wait, in the 2nd video theres the 2015+ Gargantua chase scene, but I thought this is based on the overhauled classic maps where you fall down through a vent and get surprised immediately by the Garg?
jim bob 28 Mar, 2024 @ 4:00pm 
this is good but there is no crying marine
MisfiredNoob 10 Mar, 2024 @ 4:12pm 
the map bm_c2a5b is broken
BurningCakeDoesAche 24 Feb, 2024 @ 5:23am 
I just got this mod and I'm also getting ERROR SUCCESS in that very place. Everything else has worked so far
Cheli!_cerate 23 Feb, 2024 @ 7:08pm 
Anyone get the ``ERROR SUCCESS`` message in the checkpoint right before the dam?
Mr. Stooge 4 Feb, 2024 @ 10:31pm 
the doorframe textures are weird can you fix em?
Zingleborf 19 Jan, 2024 @ 12:05am 
"you need the HECU soldier replacers from BMCE for the docile soldier animations to work" nvm i fixed it
Zingleborf 18 Jan, 2024 @ 11:57pm 
How do I stop the HECU from t-posing when custom animations play. I saw one other person with this issue say they fixed it, but annoyingly didnt tell us how
Mr. Stooge 3 Jan, 2024 @ 4:22pm 
hey when the sceientist you see with the hev suit he tries helping the dude thats hurtin in the minefield but whenever i get to that area he runs far and the game crashes
Jessie 1 Jan, 2024 @ 12:22pm 
Gonna assume this works with the remastered HECU models and BMCE revised?
SoldierGuy7737 15 Dec, 2023 @ 1:23pm 
is it compatible with the barney in surface tension.
Token Bad Teammate 15 Nov, 2023 @ 1:28pm 
Or atleast know whats causing it?
Token Bad Teammate 15 Nov, 2023 @ 1:28pm 
Has anyone found a fix for the T-Posing grunts?
TCMOREIRA 7 Oct, 2023 @ 6:19pm 
Thank you Master Ballcock!!!
Tri12321Bre 6 Oct, 2023 @ 5:10pm 
some of the HECU are T-Posing, but it only is doing so because of a mod, is there a fix for this
Master Ballcock 26 Sep, 2023 @ 8:20pm 
@TCMOREIRA Yes, it uses BMS Classic Surface tension as a base, which restores tentacles in that area
TCMOREIRA 22 Sep, 2023 @ 1:27am 
Does this restores the Tentacles?
Like in this mod:

You say that the medic in the tunnel is docile, but as soon as I get close, he turns around and starts shooting at me
Sergeant Arch Dornan 19 Jul, 2023 @ 7:29pm 
does this add back the treefrog 3 radio
ANormalGuy 15 Jul, 2023 @ 6:45am 
0/10. It broke my game.
