When will be update?

which map is the starting map?

@Freya
That GoldSrc building software can be intimidating for a beginner, and even then what you can do with making stuff in GoldSrc is a speck of dust in comparison to Garry's Mod and it's entire legacy of community-created content. It's understandable to want to use Garry's Mod to replay a game for sandbox shenanigans.

If you want to replay Oppossing Force then you can just replay it. And if you want to build something in it, then you can simply use the Gold Source building software that comes for free with the game so that you can edit it at your heart's content.

@Shadowysn because I wanted to replay or build something on the Half Life opposing force maps but I think it would be difficult to port the maps from the game so I deleted the comment

@Nova
Sorry for the two-day delayed response, it's fine with my credit.
@Freya
Oh that recent comment asking for opposing force got deleted when you replied lol
If I had the option to lock the ported maps behind requiring owning the respective game I'd do it, but there'd just be a lot of logistical nightmares from that feature if it were to even be available so alas, people who don't own the respective game can have their cake for now.

Yo, do you mind if i upload Blue Shift NPC's of these? I'll include credit but if you don't want me to then it's fine by me.

Why is it that everyone who always asks for Opposing Force in a ton of other addons, never owns it on Steam? Do you guys want it so badly so that you can play it for free? Because if that's the case, the internet archive is your friend. You don't even need Steam for that lol

thanks!

Jailbreak, for some reason the ba_* prefix that the Blue Shift maps use are listed as jailbreak maps.

@Domawesome04
I don't know. I currently have other projects sucking up my interest and I may not be able to get around to updating the maps as of now.

i dont see it in my maps
what section should it be in?

When will be next update?

when will the rest of the maps be available?

The reason there's HL2 weapons everywhere is because the mappack is mainly made and playtested on actual HL:S first and that game reuses the same HL2 classnames for it's HL:S weapons. I also wanted to keep parity between the HL:S and Gmod BSPs by making both the same, not wanting to deal with any specific Gmod setups/changes in the VMFs.
Any changes made for the Gmod version were achieved through LUA scripting, but it couldn't help fix replacing map-placed weapons entirely.

For some reason, Gmod properly replaces HL2 weapons in actual HL:S maps with their HL:S counterparts and I just can't find out how the game does it for HL:S to implement into the maps. It's definitely not through any map-patching file like .lmp or .pat

@TheBillinator3000
My main thought process for this as a direct port is to serve as a baseline for any future modding efforts to build upon, so that means not changing too much about the originals though I had to eventually create workarounds with internal map logic differing between Source and Goldsrc.

Though an exception I have was making the two random scientists savable through to the end of the game, but I made sure to make those changes as modular as possible so all it takes is disabling a visgroup to completely remove that change.

I like how this is a direct port and not a proper remaster.

func_walls are everywhere, some weapons are from Half-Life 2 and not from Half-Life: Source, some weapons are missing all together, the rats aren't actual NPCs, and tons of other stuff that needs to be fixed.

Really tempted to go in and fix those issues myself, but I will respect your wishes if you don't want me to help.

But I will leave you with this:
Go to Hammer and add the suffix '_hl1' to Half-Life 2 weapons. Ex, weapon_crowbar should be weapon_crowbar_hl1. That will make the weapons become the Half-Life: Source weapons. It may not look like it in Hammer, but it will work in game.

Cant help but notice that the maps are calling for half-life source's original weapon names instead of the gmod version, "Attempted to create unknown entity type weapon_glock"
in "ba_canal1" it spawns the HL2 Crowbar instead of the HL:S one.

ba_tram1.

which map is the starting one?

... i better suth my mouth

@loldans25_2
Wow......... read the description. It tells you if you need anything which 99% of authors will list in the description.
@Freya
Opposing Force does feel like a hodge-podge of enemy spam at times.
A hub for Decay map selection might be a lesser evil compared to trying to connect Decay levels together like a seamless campaign.
@♥NikoStar♥
Anyone determined enough might be able to recreate all of OP4, enemies, weapons and such, though it certainly won't be easy.
I think needing a modder to port OP4 to Source is all that can be done realistically.
IIRC I was told by a friend who also worked on porting GoldSrc content to Source that asking for the source map files for the Gearbox expansions was a fruitless endeavor.

ok? cool i guess? does it require anything??????????????????

Just replayed Opposing Force again, and while the enemy encounters were even worst than I remembered, at least the level design (when outside of combat) was actually pretty fun and entertaining. I wonder if people could simulate the enemy placement by using the save feature on Garry's mod tho.

I think reasons there some who played Decay want to beat it on Gmod experience which i see two side tot his as you said the game basically built as a Co-op, which isn't a problem just invite a friend to play Gmod with you but that easier said than done if they owned a copy of HL: Decay, now redesign Decay to fit a solo experience, is not as easy as it sound for thous people asking for Decay, and this is the same situation for Opposing Force as enemies and NPC using new animations while added new Scientist and Enemies the modder would have to make the animations in ground up which people fail understand its not that easy or simple to do. only way they want the workinng version of Op4 they need to ask gearbox to give Garry the green lit to port it on Gmod. like one for examples G-String modder got their game portted into Gmod but down side it has interactive cut-scenes on buttons Gmod wasn't built for so Noclipping heavily implied

I was reading a few comments asking for a port of Decay. But I feel like the people asking for that just have never played Half-Life Decay. Because, how the heck would you make a mission-based coop play for Garry's mod without chaning the way the missions are selected completely?

You would need to create a Hub for players to choose the missions, which would just get a project like that so much out of scope from the original.

@Cum1812
@Flex Offender
All the map porting work is technically almost finished, but it's the bonus content of rescuing the 2 optional scientists in Captive Freight that's hard-stopping the project.
I need to animate a few animations for the scientists to use, but I don't know shit about Blender animating.

would it ever be deemed possible to finish the campaign?

Jesus, these comments are so nasty. Not to mention that people just want Opposing Force because it has new weapons and "new" enemies (even though they are just recoded and reskined from other HL enemies lol) while Blue Shift didn't. But the reality is that in terms of level design and enemy encounters, Opposing Force isn't even that great as it just throws a bunch of enemies at you at random and without care.

So if you guys really want to play opposing force in Gmod, the experience you are going to get from playing OF is not that much different from just plopping a bunch of Opposing Force NPCs in any HL1 map and start blasting lol.

And about Blue Shift's constant loading screens and small levels, yeah. Is kind of rough, but we also have to remember that Blue Shift was originally made a DreamCast-exclusive expansion. Just like how Half-Life 1 on PS2 got Decay. With the only difference being that BS was eventually ported to PC by GearBox.

i'm waited resized version to make less loading zone every chapters

@multoman
nope. they're too different to normal HL:S NPCs.

or just use half life resurgence npcs for opposing force

When will be next chapter?

Shut Up awsomelilbuddy stop being optimistic

lets go we have half life: blueshift: source: garrys mod!!!1!1!

Shadow wont do opposing force cause it would require making custom npcs.

Decay and Opposing Force?

Hey, any chance you could add on teleport 2 and the power maps?

Opposing force pls

I Love It !

Gearbox made the scientists fat
.

@1NF3CT3D
ba_tram1 = Tram ride.
ba_security1 = Pre-disaster.
ba_canal1 = Actual game start.

whats the starting map?

oh okay
thanks for clarifying for me

@GoldSourceFan1998
Technically the BS models are compiled as different models here despite being similar.
The original HL:S models remain untouched, the maps in this port just replace the models of NPCs to the BS models via Lua.

so does that mean that some models are the same from half life just with custom animations (like barney, or the scientist)

@GoldSourceFan1998
More or less. Any models unique to Blue Shift was converted to Source for this port in order for everything to function.

does this include all of the models

@Wetrat2014
That's an ending map made from the ground up for the Blue Shift mod and is not a part of Opposing Force.

You Ported it And Showed it, So Technically You made it even though you said never.

Btw if Opposing source is never than why did you show it to us?
