![]() ![]() ![]() Over the course of development, Gearbox brought in a variety of talent from other areas of the video games industry to help bolster various aspects of design. Lead designer Randy Pitchford noted that he believed Gearbox was selected to develop Opposing Force because Valve, the creators of Half-Life, wanted to concentrate on their future projects. Opposing Force was the first expansion for Half-Life and was announced in April 1999. It was developed by Gearbox Software and published by Sierra On-Line for Windows on November 19, 1999. I imagine that doesn't affect anything, but I figured I would bring it up since I recall hearing that Half-Life won't handle MP3's of a quality higher than 128Kbps, but they seem to play fine.ĮDIT: Half-Life03.mp3 doesn't seem to be used during Blue Shift so it's probably fine to just leave it out.Half-Life: Opposing Force is an expansion pack for the first-person shooter game Half-Life. I'm going to do a quick search to see if Half-Life03.mp3 is used at all in Blue Shift. Though that may have been an error that was later corrected I have a first run copy of Blue and I've heard tales of the missing track being on later runs, though I've never confirmed it myself. Suspense02.mp3 in bshift/media should be Suspense03.mp3, and I think I made a mistake on my conversion chart, as the real Suspense02.mp3 should be there (It's track 5 on the Op4 soundtrack), while Half-Life03.mp3 should be the six second clip of silence. Just did a quick check, HL and Op4 are fine, while Blue Shift has a few hiccups. I hope I don't just speak for myself when I say this. ![]() In short, thank you for being the sort of company that people feel OK about complaining to, because we know there's a chance you might say "You know what, you're right we should do that." I may be one of the complainers, but I'm not ungrateful. Who else but Valve would patch a game that's over ten years old just because someone asked them to? Heck, who else would have ported it to two new platforms in the first place? Fans of other games stop complaining because they've long since learned that they'd be wasting their breath. ![]() But the reason is, because of things like this. Whether it's over something they changed or over something they haven't changed. I know Valve gets yelled at a lot by players over things that, compared to the problems other games often have, seem like silly little nitpicks. And, since I don't think you hear this enough, thank you for being the sort of company that does things like this. I just want to say, whether or not this happened due to this report, thank you for finally putting this in. Track 5 -> No equivalent, six seconds of silenceĪlso, if/when you have someone do this, it'll probably be a good time to update Half-Life's mp3s from 48Kbps to 128Kbps (Issue #449 ) Opposing Force Tracks to Blue Shift MP3's Like I said, that will work with both the Opposing Force and Blue Shift discs, (though there's only 20 tracks on either of them) but if you can't, for whatever reason, track down a Blue Shift disc with the audio tracks, you can use the Op4 disc (It's the same music, just listed in a different order) using the following order This will work for both the Op4 and Blue Shift discs. I dug up an old text file explaining the conversion from tracks on the disc to filenames used by Half-Life I figured this might save you guys some time. ![]()
