Thought I'd tease this here, because why not. The Classic Collection is launching on STEAM in January, and each game included - Half-Life 1, Opposing Force, and Blue Shift, will be treated to a set of Steam Achievements.
Here's our official article about The Classic Collection coming to Steam. Thanks to everyone who liked and commented on my previous post teasing the Steam release; I genuinely hadn't expected such a positive and lively reaction from you all, and I enjoyed reading and responding to all of the comments.
The Classic Collection is the ultimate repack & restoration of Half-Life, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, and more. Coming January 2025.

Thankfully, HL still uses VGUI with some new features -- You will need to update your GameMenu.res file to add new "HelpText" strings to your menu listings, and you will need to copy the trackerscheme.res file from the valve resource folder to your mod's resource folder and change the colours & fonts to your liking. You will notice that there are new colour strings for glow effects et al. There's now a video intro system which will play a defined WEBM file in media\StartupVids.txt alongside sound\UI\valve_sound.wav -- you can replace the WEBM and sound file to whatever you want in your mod. Users can skip with the spacebar or enter key. Keep in mi…
The first release from the Classic Collection, Half-Life: Blue Shift Classic, releases on Monday!
Been a while since I've been here. What's the community's stance on seeing cinematic style cutscenes in a Half-Life 1 mod? Not too long to make the game boring, but just to reveal some cool storytelling that can't be done well from just the player's POV.
