Great work mate! I spent a lot of time working on the maps for our HLVR mod and I played around with importing bits to UE4 and now I want an updated version of the game even more than ever! I've tried pitching "HL2++ on Source 2 or some other modern engine with full VR support" to Valve, but they dont seem at all interested
That staircase is weird isnt it, I flirted with the idea of combining some levels to reduce loading screens, but there are a few bits like that in level transition areas where the geometry would overlap. Would be sweet to play the entire game from trainstation to the end of episode 2 with seamless map streaming
First the city 17 trainstation, now the apartment section in the unreal engine 4. It looks outstanding and I would love to see an entire HL2 remake in the UE4. So many half life content gets a fan remake (Ravenholm, Gravity Gun, Crowbar...) and someone just has to put it all together. The gravity gun Burpee is working on looks fantastic too. Please guys make it happen! ^^
@PogoP had a fly around yesterday during lunch break!. Really love the materials, I checked out the wire-frame of the wooden floors, really inspired by this dude Will start an environment soon which i'l try adding similar definition to the props!
you;ve really nailed the feeling of the scene. My only concern is that i wish paint on walls would be more glossy. From what i remember the kind of corridor wall paint the past used to always have this oily/rubbery/glossy texture to it.
Hey @alekseypindrus that would be really useful! That would probably take less time than me digging out the old files and stripping out all the source files. Could you send me a link at liam.tart@gmail.com or just post it here in this thread? I'll grab it and keep it backed up myself then too.

@James - Yeah I made the wooden floor texture flat and then cut out some boards and raised them slightly.
Thanks so much!
