May 2003 Calendar Edit

Beskrivning
The calendar in vanilla Black Mesa says December, and this is an edit to make it May, to match the stated date of the Resonance Cascade in Laidlaw's notes, May 16th 2003. Comes with two VPKs, one with the clean calendar texture, and another with added red Xs for emphasis. Both VPKs now have an edited long calendar, again to match 2003, and a separate VPK with an edited Periodic Table of Elements to remove elements there were discovered after 2003.

Installation help
Go into the workshop folder for Black Mesa (362890), and find the folder with the addon (2809675378)
Choose one of the two VPKs and copy it to your custom folder (Black Mesa\bms\custom)

Thanks, and enjoy your calendars!

!!!DISCLAIMER!!!
I know the original HL1 calendar texture said December, but I'm going off of a few fan wiki pages, which say "May 16th, 200-" and am using 2003 from Laidlaw's notes for convenience

half life purists and nerds try not to get mad at someone else's perspective/opinion of the time period or date of the incident challenge: impossible :steamhappy:

The real date has never been revealed. May 16, 2003 is a very popular speculated date, but it has never 100% been confirmed by Marc Laidlaw or any of the other HL1 devs

did half life or black mesa really start on may 16th 2000-3?

It may be something like a repeated event, like a specific meeting or something with updating security clearance. It's hard to tell. I just moved the colors as the different year layout meant it wouldn't line up without moving them around

Sorry to ask again, but what do you believe the colour legend in the big calendar (green, purple, light blue, etc.) is? I just feel curious as to how you managed it.

I don't understand why the keycards are so significant, because they're for a completely different company halfway across the world that is only mentioned in HL:A's storyline. The keys expiring in December 2001 could mean nothing because we don't know anything about that company's timeline. It could have shut down in 1999 and the cards just weren't gathered and destroyed properly.

Having read the Reddit post below, I stand corrected. It does appear that Valve wanted the game to indeed occur in 2000, but Laidlaw wanted it to occur in 2003. Interesting.

Clearly, the current canon follows Valve's directive, and as such, the HL:A cards and newspapers confirm that HL1 was in December. This makes logical sense. It is quite interesting to note that Valve (presumably) paid attention to the lunar stage of the 5th of December, yet was unable to create a proper calendar (since the one in the original Half-Life is a somewhat distorted take on a December 2002 calendar).

Right, many thanks!
