i wonder if someone will make the ordinal a metrocop with a manhack on its back like they have in hl2 sometimes

I like to play this mod with this mod as well: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2463297395

so you can have familiar enemies from hl2. might not entirely make sense lore-wise why cops are in the QZ but who cares :>

How did you do this? I'm trying to make my own npc replacement.

SMG1

Will there be a version that doesn't replace the gun?

unfortunately, I can´t play the mod, because when I activate it in the addons-manager, it doesn´t show up at the addon-card-chooser. Why? What can I do? Can someone help?

Attention all civil protection teams, this mod is amazing and full fills my need to kill cp's in vr

Corpses are super buggy.

i really like it and to see a fully made CP grunt replacer but the smg just sounds weird for me

Thanks man! Its extremely thrilling and nostalgic! You'll be fighting metrocops and even original combine soldiers in the upcoming Anti-Citizen mod im project lead on, release TBD.

Oh wish I had an edit or somethin, also used your USP mod, love the feel n sounds of it.

This goes really well with the combine soldier ordinal swap, tried both on with some audio mods on the city17 escape maps and merciless combine and it was cool as shit n thrilling. So thanks for playing a part in one of the coolest HLA experiences I have had.

@anonymou5 haven't found the cause for it :/

This used to work awesome now the pre dead CPs are all glitched out. ill come back to this you do amazing work!

@paradox That's what I thought at first about those new CP lines, and I'm glad you used the HL2 ones. However, I also didn't like the grunt lines at first, but they have grown on me a lot.

@Leojrenel they sound terrible lol

have you considered using the unused CP lines included in HL:A? I love the nostalgia of the HL2 CP dialogue, but I'd be curios to hear Valve's new recorded dialogue found under sounds\npc\metropolice\vo\metropolice_(various file names).vsnd_c.

i get infinite loads with this mod, any way to fix it?

@paradox thank you for the help

@Zero if you want to replace the grunts with metrocops on your addon shoot me a dm on discord and I'll do my best to help set that up. discord: paradox#0001

@Zero creating a new NPC would have to be done in the addon itself. Upcoming mods such as the Goldeneye: Runway project and Anti-Citizen will feature custom NPCs because they are built into the addons themselves. It requires a lot of scripting if you wanted to try and add them to the base game.

(Unless you guys are cool with that, I'd just add you as contributors or literally give it to you to upload. Would be really useful for people trying to make entire mods.. perhaps featuring a gasmasked man of their own and having the OG title of grunt tee hee)

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I'm just wondering if you can make a standalone version that still uses the same AI and everything but a different NPC namepath, same with your OTA, maybe just edit their health or other minor things. I would look into it myself but I don't wanna rip your upload since obviously it had to be rigged and other things.

@Zero I intentionally replaced the grunt’s model and sounds.

Do you do the replacement of the grunt intentionally, or is there a way to add new NPCs? I would desperately like to have Metrocops as a new entity. Thanks for taking the time to read this. (please help lol)

I can't seem to rechange the smg back to the pulse smg grunts use. is there a way to fix this?

@DerpyVR these guys work on any map. Not sure why it isn't working for you. The HEV Suit Hands require extra installation steps which I left instructions on how to do install in the addon description. You might have an issue with your HL:A itself.

And i forgot to add. this happens with a few other addons such as HEV Suit Hands, USP Match and look Gordon ropes!, all of these will not load if loaded into a map. but i would only like to get this amazing addon to function

does it only work for main story?

Yes. when i enable this addon it will not load a map ive tried many of my modded maps as well
and i have looked at my other addons to see if they are interfering and they are not

Really? That is weird. Can you explain the issue further?

it doesn't load maps when i enable this sadly

@Kat yea there are none from HL:A

Only thing that would make this addon perfect is adding some metrocop voicelines from HLA. Though it's probably true that there aren't many so you had to use the HL2 ones? Still great work

ok no problem mate

@wim.buytaert.1988 Appreciate the offer but I don't know how to script. This is simply just model and audio swapping. Although this still took a long time to create, it is nowhere near the scripting aspects of other peoples mods.

hello creator from bioshock campaign. my team needs help bad with scripting. we have npc wroking with animations like big daddy! it can attack walk has sound. but we need scripting to make it attack enemeys and alyx. can you help us?

This is wonderful!

SWEET

yup

MP7 smgs included???

@Kat sounds fun, but that's not my field of expertise. I also am working on a pretty big project at the moment so taking on a big task like that is a distraction I would like to avoid. Not impossible, but it would require a lot of thought and effort similar to the metros. Appreciate all of the ideas though.

@paradox I got an idea, the workshop is rlly lacking in good weapon mods, what about the ordinal rifle replacing the pulse smg? Would make sense lore and gameplay-wise, probably still a lot of work though

@Leojrenrek They'd have to be completely redone as to not fuck you over gameplay wise, similar to what happened to the antlions. Also, that sounds like the work of triple A developers not modders... lol

@Leojrenek well thats a bit different than what these are. This is just a grunt replacement while those would be full on brand new enemies. Would be cool to see though.

HELL YEAH!

@paradox I know nothing about the technicalities of it, but I would love to have hunters and houndeyes in HL:A

@wmafranz It's an actual custom NPC, that will replace the Grunt in both the main campaign and any custom maps.

I have a question, is this done with bonemerging or whatever its called, or is it an actual custom NPC? Cause I remember jerry-rigging some crappy metrocops with bonemerging and logic and stuff a few months ago, but if you guys have figured out how to do legit custom NPCs like I assumed this is, that's cool as hell and like I said I might have to get back into the workshop tools just to mess around with it.

this is incredible!!
