This is really sort of a general question. I don’t play HL-2 and my version of HL came out before Steam, so I haven’t been using Steam. If I install Steam, how does this work with older mods? Could I use this mod via Steam and still have access to pre-Steam mods? As you can tell, Steam is just a mystery for me.

Alternatively, can I download/use this mod without using the Steam fix?

I’m no expert and hopefully somebody else will also answer.

I used to have ttwo installation of HL. A normal one, without Steam and a Steam one. I did this because a lot of older mods didn’t seem to work with Steam.

Unless you plan to actually buy a game via Steam I don’t think there’s a good reason to install it. But I could be wrong.

In answer to you question, yes I believe you can install the mod without using the Steam fix and everything should be fine.

I am stuck at the level where you are at the top of the elevator that falls because the barrels won’t move even though they are making the sound like they are moving. Any suggestions?

The installer seems to be broken, I am missing 67 files and most stuff is very fragented :’(
planetphillip 13th September 2006 at 20:04 5

Mmmm.. My local copy is also corrupted. I downloaded the one I linked to above and that is exactly the same as my local. I found another working version that is slightly larger and that seems to work, so I have edited the above link to point to the new file (15.03 ).

Sorry about that.

The strange thing is that the bad file was downloaded 44 times and nobody complained. It must have been bad for everyone of thos downloads!
Michael 13th September 2006 at 22:20 6

That’s not as strange as you might think, Phillip. I’ll bet that many downloaders, like me for instance, get the file and just save it for future use. Right now I am mostly playing Blitzkrieg.

andyb 2nd October 2006 at 16:32 8

andyb 3rd October 2006 at 03:44 9

gman talking.is that when your inside something with low ceiling?if so crouch down and follow a path out then carefully walk across and turn a machine on that activates another portal of to the side of the ramps you walked on to get to the machine

I am stuck at the level where you are at the top of the elevator that falls down into the water. you get to this level by moving lifts to different levels and then jumping across. The barrels won�t move even though they are making the sound like they are moving. Any suggestions?
andyb 5th October 2006 at 00:31 11

whats the map name Don? check your save file for it
andyb 5th October 2006 at 02:15 12

if its the spot i think where you need to get into the airvent and 2 barrels are near the shaft where the platform went down then do what i did. use noclip
dufferx 24th December 2006 at 23:13 13

I am being prevented from walking across the ramps after the G-man speaks to me. There seems to be an invisible door or it’s a really rotten bug. I am also not able to activate the console as it apparently failed to load. So, noclip is out.
iceddeadmeat 19th January 2007 at 20:08 14

Like dufferx, Im also stuck by the invisable (door)???? Looked everywhere. What am I missing or is there a bug?
andyb 19th January 2007 at 21:51 15

I’m goona have to reload the mod and play it again as I really dont remember that spot

Allot of mods don’t work with steam, generally, anything that when it shows the destination of the install folder ‘Sierra/Half-Life’, is not steam compatible, how can I do two installations?Does that mean buy two copies?If anyone can find the answer…email me

david4255 26th May 2007 at 00:03 18

andyb, I noticed back in January you were attempting to help dufferx and iceddeadmeat. I am also stuck in the same spot and assuming you are also. Does anyone have a solution to this besides noclip.
Ernest Gaskin 18th August 2007 at 01:44 19

maybe a little late, but nevermind - take it as the thing for everyone who could seek this question ;)earlier at the game, you get this “useless” sticky bomb.. if you stick it, you can step on it. that is how i get through lot of “logics” at lots of mods without actulaly bother with them ;)))

hey. love me, guys!
shawn 4th October 2007 at 06:32 20

The sticky bomb works like a charm. Thanks, Ernest. And the mod is terrific. The author just keeps getting better as he goes along.

glitch and SPOILER here: just after we overhear the Gman making Gordon an offer he can’t refuse, there’s no place to go. It’s a pretty spot to be stuck in, but the game doesn’t seem to have an intentional ending.
EddieLee 17th December 2007 at 19:39 21

The key here is to get to the narrow opening, that appears to be the ‘invisible door’, BEFORE the Gman stops talking. You can actually see the Gman talking to Gordon before they both disappear into the portal. At that time, you can go thru the narrow opening (invisible door) and enter the Xen structure. You can’t get thru the opening after they enter the portal.

Nothing new but maps are pretty goods and there are som familiar places like the Labor test Sector of HL^^! Pretty cool for the fans (like me) of the Black Mesa Research Facility!
poisonheadcrab 7th July 2008 at 04:27 23
