Goldsource Filmmaker?

[mueuen]

Has anyone considered the possibility of having a filmmaker for goldsource?

what is goldsource?

Half-Life 1 engine. I gotta say I don't see the point in going backwards personally.

It's fairly easy to convert Goldsource models to SFM by decompiling and making a few adjustments to their QC file. Here's a couple of examples I did ages ago:

Maps are reportedly trickier for various reasons, but I honestly haven't tried them yet.

Combine the ease of porting models with Half Life Source and there's honestly no real point to a Goldsource Filmmaker. Due to the difficulty of developing such a thing, it'd likely turn out similar to Real Time Movie Studio for UT99, with the same problems.

plus the fact there is always black mesa, whose models work perfectly for the most part, and have higher rez textures.

Unless you want to make something a la Thecorp303.

In which case, there is Half-Life Source (although the maps need recompiling...)

[raptornx01]

Not sure why you couldn't do that now with BM. XD

There's a charm to those goofy low-poly models, man.

[mueuen]

Yeah, Thecorp303 videos was what I had in mind but you guys do make a good point with using the Half-Life:Source assets. I had never thought of that before, I'll have to try that.

i dont think anyone has considered a goldsource filmmaker although it is a good idea

[EmperorFaiz.wav]

No, it's not.

[DukeyNukey]

It is for android users due to someone making an alternative to the gold source game engine that actually works

there is a small reason for a idea like this, people like me who don't know how to make a working vmt, with source the model needs to find the vmt which finds the vtf, while with goldsource the model has the bmp inside of it, this is a reason for goldsource filmmaker to exist at least

Um....

WHAT?!?!

To support a GoldSrc material, a VMT needs to contain four lines, three and a half of which will always be the same. (And two of those "lines" are just curly brackets).

Writing VMTs isn't even within a lightyear of being difficult enough to justify the creation of a GoldSrc Filmmaker.
