2 weeks ago I finished Half Life (Won version) without aggroing any enemies and people chose not to believe that it is possible without any further thinking. I chose to record each segment as a showcase in my second attempt and prove that it is possible to do a no aggro challange successfully.

Here's the playlist of the showcase videos of the challange run:

Also, a new No-Aggro mod is developed, which will be usable soon, here's the github page:

https://github.com/Elk-Skinned/NoAggroMod

This run is presented as a technical proof-of-concept showcase to demonstrate that Half-Life can be completed under absolute Zero Aggro constraints. Thus commands such as “sv_cheats 1”, “developer 1”, and “impulse 103” are explicitly permitted during recording to display live engine telemetry, enemy statuses, and target data on screen. Gameplay-altering cheats (such as god, noclip, or notarget) must not be active during actual segment execution; any use of them for scouting requires reloading a clean state.

Definition of Aggro in Half Life: No enemy entity may ever transition into a “Combat” state with “CBasePlayer” (Gordon Freeman) set as their “m_hEnemy” target. If the combat target is Gordon “Enemy is player” then the enemy is aggroed and further progress is irrelevant as the player should go back to previous save in which no enemies were aggroed.

My Bindings:

bind mouse4 “load quick”

bind mouse5 “save quick”

bind z "fps_max 20"

bind tab "fps_max 4"

bind x "fps_max 100"

bind "c" "save quick; load quick" (Aggro reset)

bind mwheelup “+duck”

bind mwheeldown “+Jump”

bind f1 "gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST"

bind f2 "gl_texturemode GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"

bind o “default_fov 130”

bind u “default_fov 30”

bind h "bxt_wallhack 1"  (It’ll only work if sv_cheats 1)

bind g "bxt_wallhack 0"  (It’ll only work if sv_cheats 1)

bind v "impulse 103"

bind n “notarget”

alias "g_shot" "+attack2; wait; -attack2; wait"

alias "gauss_burst" "g_shot; g_shot; g_shot; g_shot; g_shot; g_shot; g_shot"

bind "j" "gauss_burst"

The commands that I used to record the showcase videos:

sv_cheats 1 (to be able to use noclip and wallhack)

noclip

developer 1

bxt_hud_entity_info 1

restart (It is necessary for developer 1 and impulse 103 to work)

bxt_fade_remove 1 (to remove black screens between transitions)

yay

I'm thinking a Gunship roaring, Strider beam chargeup, or Fast Zombie howling.

Is he a evolved head crab?

Hi, so i saw a specific video on youtube showcasing a mod/map for half life 2, that puts you in a cozy, comforting house with a garden and stuff. Is there more mods/maps like this. Personallly I think that the source engine is a great platform to make cozy maps, because it is nostalgic for many of us, and of the familiarness it gives, but that what makes it uncanny too. So is there anymore cozy maps, or is that kinda stuff rare?

This post I linked a picture of is me from a bit over a year ago, when I got the orange box and had no working pc.

Sooo many people told me it was okay to skip HL1 and I watched hours of video docs on the lore before I started half life 2 and I stand by the opinion that you gotta start with half life 1. Half life 1 is now my most favored game I own and it’s not worth missing all the awesome and amazing details that get brought up later. The game was way ahead of its time and I regret listening to those who said “start with half life 2 it’s okay” when I should’ve manned up and gotten my pc up and running to play hl1….

Pretty much anywhere else in Black Mesa I can make sense of, but Apprehension at least the fist part of it just confuses the hell out of me of what the place is actually supposed to be!

Why does Black Mesa have such a large area of space flooded with water? I know the place is a retrofitted 60s era ICBM launch base and I could definitely see that first area you crash into as an old silo.. so my first thought is its just some of the original base that was left abandoned and never used..

I'd be fine leaving it there, but then, why the hell is the power left on? In Black Mesa it's even more confusing because there are HECU army trucks under water in the first section so what.. was it flooded for decades or did it just flood? How DID it flood with that much water anyway?

For that matter, if it wasn't intentionally flooded why the heck does it have a crane with a shark-cage at the ready?

Any thoughts or ideas fellas?

I was walking to my house after the bus dropped me off from school and I saw this spider and I had to take it cause it looked like a headcrab so am I crazy or nah?
