wil this work with other mods ?
Wild Beret 14 Dec, 2024 @ 9:56am 
yes this is what I was thinking about close to original but better :)

I love this, but can you PLEASE tell me a way to lower the volume of the explosions? They super easily drown out other sounds and the music.

Cool mod.

the old stock effects and sounds made half life feel like an 80s action movie

You can't

I have a question, how do I make this work with HL2MMod?
Dave Norton Epic Grave Prank 12 Jul, 2021 @ 11:24am 
Honestly ten times more preferable then the original

Wait, where'd you find this video in the first place?
Gunship Mark II  [author] 18 Jun, 2020 @ 1:36pm 
I used same stock video file Valve used and transformed it into a sprite sheet.
floundering moth artist 18 Jun, 2020 @ 12:48pm 
Wait, so is this a high-resolution copy of the original sprite, or did you recreate it?
Gunship Mark II  [author] 18 Jun, 2020 @ 3:41am 
Yeah that what it says in description, and if game updates gameinfo is usually overwritten, so don't forget to update it.
Nero 17 Jun, 2020 @ 1:31pm 
Works with v1.1. I hope this is useful to someone...
It is necessary to add to file "Black Mesa\bms\gameinfo.txt" this line:
"game + mod bms / custom / *"
Nero 14 Jun, 2020 @ 10:57am 
I did everything according to the instructions, but the mod does not work. :gordon:
Can someone confirm that the mod works with the current version? Please!

This looks so good! Thanks!

Finally,they no longer look like farts!

Updated explosion to support Xen stuff, unsubscribe from this addon and then subscribe again, then just follow the instructions.

Explosions DO happen underwater, but not like they do in the surface
Gunship Mark II  [author] 27 Dec, 2018 @ 7:46pm 
HLS doesn't have explosion particle support, as for mmod - you'll need to porperly name it inside .pcf file.
snapchipper 27 Dec, 2018 @ 7:33pm 
Hey, any chance I can just extract the .pcf and have it work in other Source games? Like MMod or HLS?
The baa! 2 Nov, 2018 @ 2:30am 
did you seriously keep up steam since the 17th?
Gunship Mark II  [author] 17 Oct, 2018 @ 7:12am 
Close Steam and start it again.
Flaninty 16 Oct, 2018 @ 11:20am 
restart steam client? how do i do that?
floundering moth artist 7 Sep, 2018 @ 9:50am 
Is there any way to use this in Half-Life 2?
Gunship Mark II  [author] 19 Jul, 2018 @ 1:31pm 
could be particle engine overload.
Nevermore2790 14 Jul, 2018 @ 8:11am 
Hmmm..... I do not know if this particle crashes in Questionable Ethics? Using the Sterilizer (the one with Tripmines and frozen Alien Grunts) will crash the game when the screen fades to white?
BONES 3 Jan, 2018 @ 2:41pm 
Huh, Thanks man.
Gunship Mark II  [author] 3 Jan, 2018 @ 5:44am 
it's zerogexplode.spr in HL1, it can be found in one of the old scool VFX packs used by many game developers and film makers.
BONES 2 Jan, 2018 @ 7:31pm 
Where'd the explosion effect used in HL1 in and this mod come from?
Akis_02 13 Nov, 2017 @ 10:51am 
oh ok
Gunship Mark II  [author] 13 Nov, 2017 @ 10:50am 
Oh, it's not a particle, it's a coded-in thingie based off how flashlight and projected textures work. I wish it was that simple.
Akis_02 13 Nov, 2017 @ 9:17am 
and give it thats all
Akis_02 13 Nov, 2017 @ 9:16am 
no i mean dont use lua just make the particle to emitt light like the one on your gluon gun thing
Gunship Mark II  [author] 13 Nov, 2017 @ 8:13am 
Sorry, I don't really know anything about GMOD modding and I have very tiny experience with Gmod lua scripting, you better ask the guy who made it, Source's dynamic lights are pretty shite though, they tend to light up whole prop instead of small portion of it.
Akis_02 13 Nov, 2017 @ 6:52am 
another question? can you make for gmod like vorts lasers emitt light just like in bm:s same as the fire effect (i know there is a adon about it but uses lua and sometimes it bugs some stuff)
Gunship Mark II  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 7:59am 
Someone already made it : https://gamebanana.com/effects/5461
Akis_02 12 Nov, 2017 @ 7:48am 
is it posible to recreate the hl1 blood. like this addon?
Gunship Mark II  [author] 7 Oct, 2017 @ 3:25pm

CreativeCipher 7 Oct, 2017 @ 2:58pm 
I love you
Gunship Mark II  [author] 7 Oct, 2017 @ 2:57pm 
Yeah
CreativeCipher 7 Oct, 2017 @ 2:30pm 
Are you the guy making that Half Life 2 mini mod?
Toki 5 Oct, 2017 @ 11:58am 
these explosions look incredible
Gunship Mark II  [author] 24 Sep, 2017 @ 7:36pm 
Thank you <3
CasePB 24 Sep, 2017 @ 7:31pm 
These are awesome. Nice work.
BONES 9 Jul, 2017 @ 6:25pm 
However I'm not a modder at all so I'm not entirley sure how I'd do that since looking that the mod files rather than a regular .pcf and a script (like other explosion mods for Garry's mod and such) its .vtfs and .vmts.
BONES 9 Jul, 2017 @ 6:15pm 
Alright cool
Gunship Mark II  [author] 9 Jul, 2017 @ 6:14pm 
Yeah, easily, not by me though. If someone wanna do it, go ahead, just credit me.
BONES 9 Jul, 2017 @ 5:25pm 
Do you think this could be put into something like GMOD or any other Source game?
Blaxploitation thriller montage 1 Apr, 2017 @ 3:23pm 
Good work my dude :steamhappy:
Lev 21 Mar, 2017 @ 11:29am 
This is really gorgeous.
