Description

The strangest of events began to occur following the events of the resonance cascade at Black Mesa. Scientists were slowly disappearing and the entire facility seemed to be falling to its knees. A few scientists even went mad, destroying special equipment and harming other personnel. At around 0200, a group of scientists was attacked by another group of researchers. They were captured and brought to a laboratory, where the researchers conducted psychotic tests and "unnecessary analysis" on them. The researchers threw the battered and beaten test subjects into a specimen treatment cell in the Cell Block Sector… and left them there to die. YOU are these test subjects. You have only one objective, to escape from Black Mesa and regain your freedom! You must escape the Nightmare before you!

The map is based around teamwork and puzzles. You really have to use your teammates to complete certain parts in the series.

Additional info

• Map is meant for 3-8 players.
• A minimum of 3-4 players is required to complete some puzzles.
• A remake, Black Mesa Nightmare: Director's Cut was previously planned, but its status is currently unknown.

• Reworded some of the game_texts
• Edited the boss room camera
• Fixed a bug that would cause the Storm Drain Hatch door to open, and then close
• At the box puzzle each moving box now waits 2 seconds before continuing on its path. (The doors also wait 2 seconds before closing)
• Aligned textures

bm_nightmare_b:

• Fixed a bug in the laser puzzle that would prevent you from properly disabling each laser set.
• Added a CLIP brush to the boxes after the beginning ramp (to prevent you from getting stuck).
• The lasers are now blue (I like this color better)

bm_nightmare_c:

• Edited the intro sentences
• Fixed a possible overflow and ED_ALLOC crash error at the new spawnpoint by removing some of the ammo that spawns there.

• Added two buttons to the door leading to the boss battle so that people have time to actually grab their weapons before someone walks outside.
• Made it so that the final boss can come INTO the tunnel to attack players.
• Fixed a possible overflow and ED_ALLOC crash error at the new spawnpoint by removing some of the ammo that spawns there.
• The moving lasers are now blue (I like this color better).

+ 1.2

bm_nightmare_a:

• [EDIT] Edited the monster health and changed some of the monster placement.

bm_nightmare_b:

• [EDIT] Put an extra box at the barricade so that you only need 1 other person to get over and into the vent.

bm_nightmare_c:

• [FIX] Full Texture Light support. This fixes the Ed_Alloc: No Free Edicts error.
• [EDIT] Changed some/removed some of the monsters in the Surface Access corridor to eliminate any possible Ed_Alloc errors in this part of the map.

bm_nightmare_d:

• [FIX] Full Texture Light support. This fixes the Ed_Alloc: No Free Edicts error.
• [FIX] Fixed a monster_human_grunt_dead entity that was "leaning" on nothing (near the dynamite).
• [EDIT] Added some special effects to the boss area. The boss now makes a teleport sound as well as a teleport ball when it appears during the cutscene.
• [EDIT] The boss has 10000 health instead of 15000.
• [EDIT] Removed all of the enemies at the boss since they can keep respawning if they aren't killed fast enough. This should eliminate any possible Ed_Alloc errors in this part of the map.
• [EDIT] At the end of the map when the base explodes, there is a white fade to simulate realism for the explosion.

Softlocks

w00tguy123 26 Nov 2021 05:16

A couple of spots this can softlock, probably due to some recent update:

1) Part D with the boxes on the lift. One of the boxes gets stuck inside the lift every time the lift is used. Seems to happen only on a dedicated server and not locally.

2) Part C in the elevator. the alien controllers can get into some sort of healing loop. Both the central controller and supporting controller were healing too fast to be killed. After about 5 minutes the supporting controller finally lowered down and stopped healing. Maybe that's intended idk.

This map has the best co-op parts imo.
I introduced my friends to sven co-op with this map, but they got bored extremely quick because of the cut scenes and every single massive alien mega boom spawn. Sure, spawn 15 monsters right next to the players, but pleas,. Dont give them 300-500 hp each.

Overall rating: 2/5
Cut scenes and monster spawns ruined it for us.

Good example of how not to use cut scenes

ShakirB 26 Apr 2014 03:55

The cut scenes ruin what would otherwise be a nicely paced action adventure, resulting in a number of deaths-by-cut-scene and lots of complaining.

Still, I enjoyed some parts of this series, like the boxes-and-doors area requiring co-ordination and the elevator boss shoot-out in bm_nightmare_b_final.

Bug in 4.0

Shattered Heart Lynx 15 Jul 2009 15:42

It seems there is a bug in SC4. The doors that are supposed to stay open, they close and they don't open again (because they have to be open by triggering them).

Re: Bug in 4.0

Volcom82 (guest) 15 Jun 2010 02:04

This is fixed! The Final Version has been released!

Amazing

This is truly a masterpiece. Maps are detailed and fun. Camera is used well in story telling, but in some areas camera sequences can interrupt gameplay (i.e when you are in combat).

Most areas are very narrow, so you should never play this with more than 5-6 players. In fact, 4 players are required in some areas to complete puzzles. These maps are heavily puzzle oriented, which is nice since it is not just "run and gun".

While maps are great, puzzles require players to communicate effectively and this can be hard on public. This also means that these maps are perfect for lan.
