5/5
crashed when saving near that elevator but that just reloaded my saved game didn't have to relaunch or start from the beginning
last place is unobvious though that battery didn't even remember you can do such things, luckely there are walkthroughs novadays... saved my time and emotion . but better i suggest some tips or small hints...

I really liked it. I thought it was great that you could take different routes, even skipping entire sections if you wanted (personally, I completed the entire game, haha). My game only crashed once when I was using the fixed turret. I'm looking forward to "Xen Survivor"

It sometimes crashes, but overall very nice map!

Did you ever fix the crash issue? I always loved this map but that was annoying.

THX for creating, fun to play :-)

Very nice map!

This is such an interesting map, but it crashes constantly.

You do get an mp5, it's right in front of you after you get out of a vent duct!

where the frick is the mp5 because how am i supposed to fight alien and human grunts with a crowbar and a tripmine

That's a bug I never managed to fix, since I can't replicate it often. A fix that works 100% of the time is to restart the map from 0, loading a save won't do it.

it crashed when i got to the assasain

si

rather interesting.... can hardly wait for the next one.....

I played it again and finally got into the generator room without it crashing. Couldn't figure out the puzzle in part because of the weird and wonky physics of that room. Barrels float and fall through the floor, get eaten by barnacles below them. They also behave this way outside of the room.

Amazing map, i love it ! I had some crashes in differents locations in the map. But which map ! AWESOME map !!! Well done for your work !

Near the start of the level, when you find the area full of explosives, i thought you were supposed to blow them up. You get given satchel charges and you can even pick up one of the 2 turrets and have it shoot the crates.

Instead of blocking the area with tripmines and explosive crates, just put some generic debris, doesn't matter what, just something that will make the player not think they are supposed to destroy.

It didn't, however I pushed a small update that should fix that. Try resubscribing to the addon. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Did the update change the map name? I can't seem to find it now, and it's saying "map nest" and "map bm_nest" are invalid.

Hello everyone, a bit of news:
1): The map was updated in order to work properly with 1.0 and future versions. I noticed that quite a few bugs were introduced with the Xen release, mainly models missing, sounds and most importantly the OST not playing. Everything should be working properly now. As always, bug reporting is extremely encouraged!
2): Regarding Xen Survivor, as of right now, sadly, it's on hiatus. That is because of two reasons: mainly, I have university work to put before everything else. I have to graduate and developing Xen Survivor is going to take a long time, mainly because I've increased the project scope: It's going to take place into multiple levels, using the full capabilities of everything that the Crowbar Collective added with the Xen release. Once I have a bit more free time I'm going to resume work and keep you updated! I'm really sorry to have left you in the dark this long.
That said, have a good day and I hope you are all doing fine in these trying times.

Just out of curiosity will the next chapter(s) actually be taking place in Xen or in Black Mesa?

looking forward for the next chapter

Hey @Serious_Samsung, ye, I've already been working on it along with other projects, mostly on the layout. However, in order to keep going forward I'd prefer to have the Xen map source files in order to know how to properly use the new entities (the devs included .vmfs in past versions, but so far the /mapsrc folder is empty in this new Xen version). If those aren't released in the next couple of months I'll start asking around.

I'll also be releasing an update to this map in order to fix some errors that popped up with the Xen release, so stay tuned!

Now that Xen is released. Will you be working on the next one?

There's two errors with the alien-plant looking things where there's a bazillion tripmines and a couple of turret guns.

Pretty fun.

@Darakuu

Thank you for doing this!

Yeah, I can't solve it apparently, and a similar crash is even in the Interloper Beta! I hope I can update the map once Xen is fully released. Thanks for playing!

Just avoid looking at the generator room area to the left near the lift. You guys will know what I mean. Prone to crash to desktop with no error. Other than that, this is a solid 20min+ mod.

Really nice level. That was a lot of fun.

Sorry the name just suggested since antlions are usually in nesting grounds and they probably are in Xen, we just won’t see them.

@Anschluss I can't fix it on my end sadly, it's (most probably) an engine bug! The same crashes are happening to a lot of users while playing the Interloper Beta.
When Xen gets 100% released I'll update this map and try to fix all of the current bugs.

@DarthScoutBonnie No Antlions, as they are not already included in Black Mesa

Does this have Antlions? The map Nesting Grounds suggest this, after all the Antlions Nest in sand, or is it rock. But Antlions seem possible enemies in this.

You're going to have to fix that crashing bug if you want a thumbs up from me. I reloaded the whole map and it still happened. Not interested in a truncated experience.

No, I have to wait for the full xen release first

Is xen surviv
or almost done if I may ask?

It is a puzzle, just something that gives you a bonus if you figure it out; why not replay? :P

The part of the map where you could remove one of the power sources (canister) looked like a puzzle but it actually didn't matter
Good map though

Here's my share of the video...

Fellow mapmaker & level designer Kafe made a speedrun of this map, check it out!

(while at it, why not try to beat him? :P)

oh ok then

Hey sorry @ctran007 is was a mistake stupid url here is a real gameplay
Youtube

Well, it doesn't really matter who claims it here, the important thing is that it gets views! :)
Also, I commented the video so whoever is the creator can always talk to me there

saw this in a video and started downloding it.seems good.why cant valve add these weapons in half life 2?

I found that if you go through the gate after killing the assassin and try to use the lift the game will crash. I dropped down through the ceiling into the room with the vorts and houndeyes and the rest of the level was fine.

@Onox Sadly, known bug, seems to be a bug with Black Mesa itself ;) read the previous comments or the bug reporting thread

Pretty good map full of action and almost all npcs used (I miss the Alien Controllers, heh)
Just a note if you want to check the map: I had a random crash after killing the second Vortigaunt where the first female assassin appears I don't know what caused it.

Oh sorry, I'm not the most perceptive. Let's hope it does just fix itself with no fuss.
It's otherwise a good map. A bit short, but I guess I should have expected that.

@A Smooth Criminal That's a known bug. Check the bug reporting thread. Not the map's fault, it seems to be something that the engine doesn't like with the new entities I've used. Fix is to restart the map sadly.

In more detail, I can replicate it sometimes, but not always. There's seemingly nothing causing this crash, and that is what makes me think that it's the engine's fault, and not the map's. If that's the case this weird bug should be fixed by February when Xen releases, automagically! :P

Gettin a lot of crashes about 20 minutes in, when the two vortiguants ambush you. I'd take a look at that.

В целом отлично, если бы не вылетание в одном месте гле млжно вытащить балон и отроется шлюз, зачем правда эта локация нежна я не понял, там постоянно велетает.
