The original layout was based on nsblackmesa created by a designer called 'Lemort'. This is the final version of a series of maps called Blackmesa. This map still needs a few locations to add. Map is custom made map that has many of the Black Mesa locations and rooms from Half-Life 1 and the cap points spell out B-L-A-C-K.
