I have access to the game

Hi, I have the game, and a headset. But I have next to zero knowledge of how to search the files, use the mod tools, etc. So if you do, but you don't have the game, as long as you're willing to show me the right way, I would be glad to help taking pictures, recording videos, and all that jazz. - StrangeCorvus (talk) 19:30 October 04, 2024

Old stuff (2020-2021)

Cat Clock

While I don't have the game, I do recall seeing people reporting finding the cat clock in the game well before modding tools were assembled (and immediately assuming - correctly - that Olly Moss was responsible. He loves him some Garf.) -TheKins (talk) 06:54, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

The cat clock is used in the intro level. - StrangeCorvus (talk) 18:57 October 12, 2024

Prototype/Unused Reviver Variant

I don't have the game either or the ability to look into this myself, but someone I follow on Twitter has been going through the models directory from the Alyx Workshop/mod tools, and found this (part of a thread)- I asked, and the filename for it is simply "headcrab," but under the listing of animations, these seem to imply the reviver was using the headcrab model as a placeholder? It might be worth investigating, so I thought I'd post it in case someone can get around to it! --CosmicEternity (talk) 06:49, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Some further information/more context --CosmicEternity (talk) 07:28, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

This was confirmed to be true in the Developer Commentary released a few days ago, the Reviver was originally a Headcrab tinted blue. --Frying1Pans (talk) 20:09, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Eli's unused "choreo" anims?

While looking through the game files using the Workshop tools, I found a few seemingly unused anims for Eli's model (which are also shared with the... "other" variation of his model). They're titled "eli_choreo_*" (choreo being a prefix for most scripted, animation-heavy, sequences in Valve games) but don't seem to correspond to any in-game sequence. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're unused, because: -The animation seems... unclean? Like it's raw mocap data. -They don't have any kind of facial anim, unlike the other anims that are actually used in game -They seem much longer than any choreo sequence involving him in the final game

Is it worth adding to the page? I could upload a video of it too if it's worth mentioning. --Yoxiz (talk) 21:12, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
