Ps. More ammo please!

It’s an interesting point, the universe identified as the setting for the mod. When people talk about mods being set in a particular universe, they mean that the game takes place in the same “world” as the original game. This is distinct from setting mods in the same canon storyline, which, as you say, only Valve can control. So, in this mod, for example, it’s the HL2 universe in that the Combine are the enemy, rebels are your allies, the weapons behave as expected and it all generally has something to do with battles taking place on Earth against a backdrop of inter-dimensional warfare. However, it’s also not the HL2 universe in that the constant reappearance of allies with the same faces, the player’s ability to die and re-appear at will, and the ability of Barney and Alyx to be killed over and over are all explained as the result of a mysterious cloning operation taking place in a seemingly abandoned and improbably well-stocked dimensional portal facility. So it’s a mixture of the HL2 universe and another universe close by.

This patch fixes fatal incompatibilities in the retail maps DE_Dust, DE_Dust2 and DE_Inferno. This patch is required for all versions, including 3.02 complete.

For new players:

For players using one of the out of date versions (3.0 or 3.01) downloaded from links in the post above:

map patch

The level switching system is a brilliant concept – As I have a fairly frantic lifestyle, I find it helpful to be able to ‘drop in’ to a map whenever I get ten or fifteen minutes to myself, which isn’t often!

Ill apreciate some help here, its not the first time, it happens in the Strider mountain too…:(

A full list of changes introduced in the 3.02 version can be found here: http://amphibian.myzen.co.uk/css_sci_fi_patch/changelog.txt. Here is a summary:

* Mission briefing now appears after the first autosave of each map, so that the mission objectives and hints can be reviewed when a map is restarted from the autosave.
* Added an autosave to the hub when returning from single missions. Players can now rely on the this save to return to the game between sessions.
* Minor gameplay improvements to Compound, Inferno, Italy, Piranesi, Tides, Battleship, Spirits, Thunder and Stratocorp. Minor efficiencies added to all scripts.
* Removed option to limit player to 10 weapons (caused problems in several maps including the mission hub due to weapons stripped not being deducted from the player total, so that weapons could be lost but new ones could not be picked up).
* Replaced option for vector crosshair with a simple fixed crosshair without a reticle.
* Removed Combine health increase from “Extreme” difficulty setting to make this option more playable. This setting works well when combined with the easier in-game skill options, so that enemies can be killed quickly, but are aggressive and very accurate.
* Includes fixes from 3.01 patch (Aztec fix).
* Added a big icon for the new Steam library window.

All I can suggest is to visit the homepage and under credits is a section called Error Reports. Follow the instructions and I am sure the author will help you.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

I wanted to remove my recommendation image, but I’ve seen you have already done so. I only hope other users don’t get this problem. I also won’t be replying here anymore as you wished.

Then my mouse sensitivity was screwed and I wasn’t able to restore it in any way.

Also in TF2, the usual movement of my hand would result in a 180 degree turn. After the crash I would make a 360 degree turn. And generally now, the movement is slightly to strong and unpredictable. It feels sorta loose and I know it cause I have a specific sensitivty I have gotten used to over a long time.

That was the first time. And it resulted in the EXACT same manner as the first one. That can’t be a coincident. However, I’m going to my friends house now to get an external hard drive to secure my files.

Once again, the mod idea is cool and I wish I could finish it, but I will never and other users don’t seem to have such problems…

This is the second time I have installed the mod… and the patch… and ONCE AGAIN the game crashes farely at the beginning resulting in screwing up my mouse sensitivity for my entire PC. Now, don’t think I’m stupid. I’m doing nothing wrong and it is in fact the mod and not anything else.

I deinstalled the mod and also tried the system recovery, but no. Everything fails. I don’t know whats going on, but I suggest trashing the coder of this thing.

The mod itself is good. Nice idea and its challenging, but I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON.

The last time, I had to reinstall windows to get my settings back… Great, another wastage of an entire day…

I did have some trouble with one or two maps, I attribute that to me not knowing cs at all. But I love that they’re little short vignettes and you can drop into one, play a short time and then log off without feeling like you’re pressed for time.
