sounds like some people have skill issues in here

God i hate having to manually download stuff for this game
S1LP3X  [author] 16 Feb, 2024 @ 10:30am 
It took me about 2 minutes with a couple of quick saves on my original recording. Died a few times though. To do it in 0 deaths you cannot miss any magnum HS / xbow shot

I highly doubt anyone survived the questionable ethics fight where over a dozen marines rappel and enter the doors. No chance
S1LP3X  [author] 27 Dec, 2023 @ 7:33am 
Yup, it should!

does this mod work with BMCE?
S1LP3X  [author] 20 Oct, 2023 @ 4:49pm 
That's what i always wanted to do, but the game devs didn't add a variable to change barnacle damage, so you either play with unchanged barnacles or add the challenge of fully avoiding them. your choice when downloading :)
TexasOmertosa 19 Oct, 2023 @ 6:50pm 
The barnacle should only be increased in health and damage, not invincible
dabasourus 1 Sep, 2023 @ 5:16pm 
the invincible barnacles make this mod the nearly impossible.
S1LP3X  [author] 19 Jul, 2023 @ 10:19am 
Hey! You need Both. Same folder :)
Rick Deckard 19 Jul, 2023 @ 9:46am 
should i download the test_000 or test_dir?
Vassago Rain 13 May, 2023 @ 9:31am 
You know an idea is really terrible when you have to attach a huge disclaimer in bold, end said disclaimer with an emoticon, and provide all sorts of off-steam alternate means to use a version of the mod with the terrible idea removed. Just remove the invincible nonsense barnacles, period.

Where is custom folder located? or is it literally a "custom" folder you have to make?
Icblaster 28 Apr, 2023 @ 7:11pm 
Awesome, thank you!
S1LP3X  [author] 28 Apr, 2023 @ 2:16pm 
@LolCat (No Mic) I suppose, i actually thought of putting Normal(which is easy) as the actual hardcore since no one plays on easy anyways( i think lol). I dropped that idea i dunno why. When i have time i'll update the files along with Icblaster's suggestion
S1LP3X  [author] 28 Apr, 2023 @ 2:12pm 
I suppose when i have time i can remove the hazmat POV from the core files and then only if you download the viewmodel from the drive changes to the hazmat. I'm glad you enjoy the rest!
Icblaster 27 Apr, 2023 @ 4:42pm 
I realize it's part of the gimmick, but is it possible to disable the hazmat suit part? I really enjoy the mod, yet I would like to keep the HEV suit around, y'know, for style. Otherwise, I really like the difficulty spike, makes the challenge way more rewarding/fun
Sipper 25 Apr, 2023 @ 12:51pm 
Thank you very much!
S1LP3X  [author] 25 Apr, 2023 @ 6:45am 
Fixed it! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I really thought what i wrote would work. Follow the new instructions :)
Sipper 24 Apr, 2023 @ 10:21pm 
i literally tried for three hours to get the barnacles to not be invincible but it didnt work :(
S1LP3X  [author] 24 Apr, 2023 @ 6:01am 
It Should. It worked fine for me =P
ANDRIJA I ANĐELKA 24 Apr, 2023 @ 2:28am 
does this work with bmce
SoundingMaster7 16 Apr, 2023 @ 2:05pm 
Well, after playing through this mod, I can say this is hell on earth.
[ThλtGenericPyro] 7 Apr, 2023 @ 3:45am 
...Honestly?: HEV Suited zombies only having their legs blown off by rockets/explosives and proceeding to keep coming at you (crawling on the ground like the first T-800) should be a feature in VANILLA Xen

It's as fricking scary and awesome as they should be, conceptually

@MATEOKGAMER1 THE HAMSTER KID
The Fast and Poison Headcrabs are creations of the Combine. Didn't exist at the time of the BM Incident
Aidennn ツ 15 Mar, 2023 @ 6:19pm 
it wouldnt make much sense for that
RIVEEEEER! blw.tf #Balancetf2 12 Mar, 2023 @ 1:17pm 
add fast head crab and poison headcrab
Cultnan0 3 Mar, 2023 @ 8:17am 
good mod
S1LP3X  [author] 22 Feb, 2023 @ 5:11pm 
sk_barnacle_health “45” in command prompt. However I do not know how the mod works in Black mesa difficulty since it was meant to be played on hard only. But you are welcome to try xD
GAMEGUY207 22 Feb, 2023 @ 10:41am 
I played through this mod but I tried playing a the game again on black mesa difficulty instead of hard and the barnacles still have infinite health, how would I fix that?
Bean Box 9 Feb, 2023 @ 11:23am 
ok I got it working
Bean Box 9 Feb, 2023 @ 7:45am 
all 6 vpks, a _dir and nothing in custom (I'll try putting one of them in like the original installation guide said)
S1LP3X  [author] 8 Feb, 2023 @ 12:24pm 
Something Is indeed not right. Can you tell me what is on this folder?:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890\

Inside should be all your Black mesa mods, 2914310747 is the code for this one, and inside that one there should be 6 Nightmare_00X vpk and a _dir.

There has been one or two people who have had problems due to multiple conflicting mods, perhaps it could be something similar. Just as a test you could right click Black mesa in steam library -> Properties -> Workshop, and cross out all other mods.

Lastly, i would just double check the bms/custom folder.
Bean Box 8 Feb, 2023 @ 8:04am 
it's possible something went wrong, since the game doesn't feel too hard (but it does feel harder than normal)
Bean Box 8 Feb, 2023 @ 7:12am 
they still work, and you can see what I think is the blue lighting they have
S1LP3X  [author] 7 Feb, 2023 @ 5:48pm 
If the mod is working as intended, they are invisible AND charging for 0 Suit. But you are right, I forgot to Replace the models to the original .mdl. But if they are charging suit for you, then there is something not intended happening. Can you tell me more?
Bean Box 7 Feb, 2023 @ 12:15pm 
you can still use the suit chargers, they are just invisible (except for a random blue spot)
S1LP3X  [author] 2 Feb, 2023 @ 2:09pm 
The way you commented the whole thing sounded more than saying it's awful, i don't mind you saying it's awful, not in the least, if that is your opinion. Anyway, your whole criticism is that the difficulty is bullshit on a mod whose purpose is to make the difficulty bullshit. Have a good one
KENNY 2 Feb, 2023 @ 1:14pm 
theres a difference between hard and bullshit.. you compare it to elden ring but that game has dodgeable attacks and no invincible enemies
KENNY 2 Feb, 2023 @ 1:13pm 
its not a troll comment the mod is genuinely awful lmao
S1LP3X  [author] 2 Feb, 2023 @ 6:28am 
Yep, i remove troll comments, what a terrible thing to do that is :>
KENNY 2 Feb, 2023 @ 1:27am 
guy is a bitch removed my comment making fun of his mod lmaoooo
S1LP3X  [author] 24 Jan, 2023 @ 8:53am 
Yeah, there seems to be some interferences with other mods, sry :/
YS - _ _ _ 24 Jan, 2023 @ 7:55am 
For whatever reason I can still pickup batteries, and hear the suit voice. Also I couldn't see any vests (Until the offices at least). I do feel the change in the difficulty though. I have only chapters overhaul mods and Juniez's weapon pack installed, and some sound changing mods.
S1LP3X  [author] 18 Jan, 2023 @ 7:30pm 
Hand Model Updated! thanks for the suggestions!
Icblaster 15 Jan, 2023 @ 10:01am 
THANK YOU
S1LP3X  [author] 15 Jan, 2023 @ 5:23am 
I wondered how long it would take until you came here :>
Vassago Rain 15 Jan, 2023 @ 3:56am 
I got to the canal before I uninstolled. 99999999999 HP barnacles? No way.
Absolutely trash mod-
Vassago Rain 15 Jan, 2023 @ 3:41am 
Invincible barnacles... Come on, man.
