Questo gioco è ora disponibile su Steam!

This little Tweak - it would be a lie to call it Update or Patch - is aimed to make Black Mesa walkthrough somehow more balanced and helps player to stay always focused on gameplay, not on saving and reloading, because of some unexpected hardcore elements, or repeating the same action dozens of time, because of some uncomfortoble player controls features.

Installation: simply copy Steam folder from BlackMesaTweak.zip over your Steam folder in Program Files with overwriting. If you'd like to backup original Black Mesa settings you should backup this folder in particularly Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\BMS\cfg

1. Replaced jump-crouch feature, which adds nothing to gameplay and simply annoying, with usual single-button clicking jumping (Thanks to Vanzetti).

2. Tweaked the height of jumping, so player could normally jump over small boxes (Thanks to Vanzetti).

3. Increased the range of minimum and maximum damage that Marines fire-bursts can inflict, so they're not absolute "death-machines", but simply a challenging enemies (Thanks to TwelveEyes).

4. Increased AI reaction delay time for making all enemies and friends reactions as well somehow more equal to reaction possibilities of usual-non-casual player (Thanks to AutoDMC).

5. Increased Land Mines damage to absolutely deadly, as long as they are purely visible, easy to get around and as a result are useless in terms of challenging gameplay.

6. Increased Zombies health and damage, so they're harder to kill and more dangerous. Practically this tweak doesn't makes gameplay any harder as long as zombies in general are slow-walking "shooting targets" enemies. But now an accidental meeting with zombie face to face somehow is a more memorable event. Simply because it's hard to imagine how analerted the player should be to be killed by a zombie in original Black Mesa and now it's quite possible to be slashed by a zombie, if player wouldn't stay alerted, while moving among dead bodies, peacefully lying on the floor.

7. Increased Ichthyosaur damage a little bit to make those creatures truly only a little bit more dangereous. Simultaneously increased their health so mimally 2 direct crossbow hits in vital parts of their body would kill them. They're already killable only by 2 crossbow hits, but player could "scratch" them twice in a tail for example and that would result in Ichthyosaur death. Now player should hit them twice only in head to kill or shoot much more arrows in less vital parts of body.

8. Increased the "recharching" time of Vortigaunts and balanced it with simultaneously increasing their health.

9. Doubled the reloading time of Abrams tank, because it was unreasonably short, so you couldn't even wait for explosion smoke to clear and then step out from your cover to fire by yourself.

10. Doubled the so called "rest time" of Apache helicopter for the same reasons as for doubling Abrams tank reloading time.

11. Doubled the time player can stay underwater and balanced it with simultaneously doubling the damage player receives, when air runs out.

Thanks to all of the Black Mesa team-members. The game experience was unexpectedly great and absolutely satisfying in general.

This little Tweak is made by Alex Ros with all respect to real authors of this great game (both Valve and Black Mesa teams).
