Snarks!!

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

How many people would be greatly disapointed if the Snarks did not make it into the next game? They were one of my favorite things to play around with. Admitantly they were not the most effective weapon, but just how they run around and really enjoy life. Granted enjoying life means biting things to death, but what are u going to do?

Snarks + impulse 101 = hours of fun
I was doing that on that HL2 techdemo map Adam made for HL1, we were just standing on opposite sides of the main room throwing snarks for about 2 minutes, they were EVERYWHERE.. was great fun

Edit: In other words, yes, I'd be sad if they didn't return

they were so cute!

FictiousWill · May 10, 2004

I don't think any self respecting half-life player will deny spending at least a couple of minutes using snarks for target practice.

If they do appear in HL2, I'd like them to be more insecty, actually walk on the ground and move less like grenades.

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

i loved when it tried to bite your finger after u played with it for awhile. If it doesn't not make it into HL2. I hope someone makes a mod including them.

I'm sure someone will.

Polykarbon · May 10, 2004

ahahaha...Snarks are/were indeed great. One of the first things I did with HL1 in terms of modding was edit some of the snark values. I made it so that they would not explode, and did a bunch of other things later down the road.

Boot_Camp + Impulse 101 + Snarks That Stayed Forever[Until shot] + 5 friends = Good Times

We used to stay in the court yard on boot_camp, have 4 people stay in the top part of the bunker, and throw snarks down in the yard. The person on the bottom had to dodge/stay alive for a specific time limit.

Damn that was fun...

Polykarbon · May 10, 2004

And yea, someone will be modding this stuff in ^_~

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

wow that sounds like a great game! if no one makes creates that I am going to try. I just need a good name. Snarks of DOOM?

Snark in the Park

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

Snark in the Box?

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

hmm no park sounds better

63 · May 10, 2004

dont reply to yourself

Bizatch · May 10, 2004

i dunno
well actully maybe replying to ur self is good
are u sure
yea

Rupertvdb · May 10, 2004

20,000 snarks under the sea?

snark^ · May 10, 2004

Yeah, we needz more snark^s!! (not that I'm biased...). Anyone know if a mod team has plans to port randomnine's old Turbo [snark racing] mod to HL2 yet?

I used to have that snark-biting-Gordon's-finger animation as a forum icon at one point -- have to see if I've still got it somewhere... as it is the snarkpod just marches [relentlessly] on....

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

i was second guessing what i said... not replying to myself. after i put it in i realized it sucked. Didn't know that would strike such a cord with everyone

Rupertvdb · May 10, 2004

^ what the hell are you talking about? is that meant for another thread?

The snark racing mod would be awesome! with the physics you could throw one into a room full of precarious balanced objects and see the effects of a snark in a china shop.

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

maybe it is 1:22 in the morning and i have exams so i am alittle out of it

Flyingdebris · May 10, 2004

i remember all the custom models used for snarks, one was of an evil santa and evil rudolf on an evil sleigh

another was of the alien facehuggers

i think another was grenade penguins

ahh memories

Estevan · May 10, 2004

Well if HL2 does not come with snarks i will just code it into the game

. I will need a snark model of course.

"snark in the pants"

Brian Damage · May 10, 2004

Well, VALVe seem intent on carrying over the favourite weapons of the original games (IE: The Barnacle Gun), so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought the snarks back... except this time they'll be all groovy-looking with specular and normal maps...

-JeZ- · May 10, 2004

I'm gonna have to go back and play HL1 again

. SHame the oly thing you seem to be able to do with HL1 on steam is play it MP. I'm a Steam n00b.

Kerberos · May 10, 2004

I really hope they make a return. They were cute.

Yes, you can play HL1 SP trough steam.. :cheers:

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

i hate steam! Why can't i have my high def pack while running the game on Steam and also no blue shift? I loaded it up to play through once more...(for the snarks), but i need Steams res (1200 X 1600)... should i reinstall it all and play the game with out the crazy resoultion?

Not quite sure what your meaning by that but you can change between multiple resolutions on steam.

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

yes i know. but if u don't use the steam version u can't have 1200 by 1600 res, but u can have the high def pack... so i am at a lost on which to play through on

Farrowlesparrow · May 10, 2004

You can have the high definition pack in steam...So long as you have blueshift which im assuming you do.

Steam doesn't work the same way anymore, using .pak files. (Im pretty sure of that anyway)

You need to extract all the models from the high definition pak files into the models folder in the HL directory. That may be just with the mods though...but anyway i don't see why it shouldnt be working. It works fine with me.

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

alright i will mess around with it and see if i can get it to work. Why doesn't blue shift show up in the my games menu though?

Farrowlesparrow · May 10, 2004

Thats a good question...I dont have it installed on my computer so i know i couldn't help you there.

yea soo cute with their 2 bite kill thing goin on! Man i hated them! i was running away from them but they were so fast! They could jump for MILES!

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

they bite because they love.. not hate.. it is all love with the snarks

noQ · May 10, 2004

they just want to taste your tasty brain.. :E

DEATH eVADER · May 10, 2004

Dodge-Snark
Your in a basketball court, and you have to dodge the snarks (funnily enough)
The snarks mate and replicate to make more snarks (nice)

-or-
Snark Hunter
You have to capture as many Snarks as you can before the opponent can. It is also made harder with the fact they can run away from you or blow up in your face

gunstarhero · May 10, 2004

i think shark dodgeball would be amazing. If you could mod different kinds of snarks it would really open up the game play.

Snarks!!
