Story
The HL Invasion story starts at the end of Half-Life. Remember, you were in a train with the strange G-man … Fortunately, scientists hidden in a subsidiary laboratory with Black Mesa manage to repatriate you there with a space probe, in which you jumped just before the G-man kills you.
Once awoken, you discover this secret laboratory that the government forces haven’t discovered yet. You are watching a teleportation experience, when suddenly overtrained marines invade this hiding place … From this moment, you’ll never be alone … This new trip will lead you into subsidiary areas with Black Mesa where you’ll get more revelations about the government objectives and the world of Xen …

oh wait, sorry for the double post. but apparently i think the language buttons are actually invisible, like a missing sprite or file maybe !!
05 November 2007 at 7:27 pm
Helo.
Please help me somebody. Im stucked in the first keypad where the code is 8533. How can I type it? I tried everyhow but it wont work. When i click on a button i press enter and it is dont working. Please help me.
05 November 2007 at 7:28 pm
Sorry for spelling faults. My english is not perfect.
05 November 2007 at 7:53 pm
Mr Hungarian Player
See comment #150
05 November 2007 at 7:59 pm
Dear Mr piledriver. It isnt working. Tho door is closed.
05 November 2007 at 8:51 pm
I have reinstalled the game but I still have that problem.
06 November 2007 at 12:21 am
Dear Mr H. Can you give me the map number from your ‘load game’ list. I will have to check it out. Not played for a while.
06 November 2007 at 1:29 am
I think your at the first door with a keypad in the game.That door does not open.If a scientist did not tell you the code then your at the wrong door.You have to push a button to open a door where the scientist is and get a flashlite/lighter then he tells you a code.This happens after you fight the marines and they kill a Barney.
06 November 2007 at 4:50 am
Invasion is certainly a very good mod, but it’s not the best of all.
They-Hunger and Poke646 continue to be the kings.
06 November 2007 at 6:23 pm
Yes. Right there. This is the first keypad. I have talked with the scientist and iI get the pocket lighter. I can’t set the subtitles so the game is totally french. I used default control settings and i have downloaded an english walkthrough. When I click in a button it wont get sounds. Is this a problem? Then i tried to push enter after rhe clicks but it isn’t working too.
06 November 2007 at 6:31 pm
The map name is l1m3. i cant go back to the otherside of the map because the the big red door with red and white stripes of the bottom is closed. So this is the only one keypad here.
06 November 2007 at 8:17 pm
The only sound you will here is a beep beep if you enter the code right.Only thing I can think of is your not entering 8533 correctly for some reason.I have redone it over and over and it works for me.
06 November 2007 at 8:36 pm
Hmm. I will try to enter the code till its working. Thanks for the tips. And thank you all for your helps.
06 November 2007 at 8:56 pm
Its cant be true. I tried hundred times. First click in 8533 then enter, then click-enter click-enter, then only enters. I tried everyhow. Is somebody know where can I download a saved game afterthis map?
07 November 2007 at 12:07 am
Reload your last save before this one.There is no reason to push enter either.It opens as soon as 8533 keys are pushed.
07 November 2007 at 5:50 pm
I dont know why it isnt working. CAn I download another installer somewhere?
07 November 2007 at 8:04 pm
did you install the patch?
Other downloads available at the authors site
http://hlinvasion.free.fr/downloads_eng.htm
07 November 2007 at 9:03 pm
Yes I installed the patch.
11 November 2007 at 2:08 pm
The noclip cheat is not working too.
11 November 2007 at 3:29 pm
open console ingame and type
sv_cheats 1
reload your save
open console and type testmode
now you can use cheats
11 November 2007 at 8:11 pm
Too hard, and it’s lacking a tutorial, hence there are new weapons… But definitely a must have. Play on Easy or prepare for consequences.
11 November 2007 at 9:11 pm
Finally. I made it. But with a cheat. Thanks for the tips. And thanks to everybody for helps.
17 November 2007 at 7:37 am
THANK YOU SO SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS BRILLIANT MOD PHILLIP!
MY RECOMMENDATION
ABSOLUTLY!!!!
23 November 2007 at 8:29 pm
I have had the same problem with the game first crashing on “new game” start and then, on updating to 1.1.1.1, getting the “you need to run a virus check and reinstall” message.
There’s no virus.
Now, if I reinstall 1.1.0.6, I’ll still have the crash problem. And if I update to 1.1.1.1, I’ll still have the virus problem. This feels like a perfect catch-22. Can you offer a suggestion?
23 November 2007 at 9:20 pm
try this update instead.
http://www.fileplanet.com/57317/50000/fileinfo/Half-Life-1.1.1.0-Client-(Full-Client)
Its the one I use for my non steam install
25 November 2007 at 5:46 pm
Thanks, AndyB.
I actually got it to work by updating HL to 1.1.1.0 instead of 1.1.1.1.
I got almost the whole way, although I find the infested laboratory, with the flying electrical icthyosaur and the little elecrical flying bugs, to be nearly impossible.
Overall: do want.
10 December 2007 at 5:31 pm
Here:
1. You don’t get a flashlight, insted you get a lighter.
2. Download the patch please.
04 January 2008 at 10:05 am
where do I need to install the patch
29 January 2008 at 12:24 pm
You install the patch in the Halflife directory, not the mod directory. I like this mod…Thumbs up!!
06 March 2008 at 7:06 pm
How do I use the lighter?
06 March 2008 at 10:06 pm
scroll through your items till you have it selected.It rarely lights the first time so you need to press your fire button to get it lite.The L key may also work I forget
29 March 2008 at 4:35 pm
very good game, good story with new ideas and well balanced gameplay. Plays hard with plenty of new aliens & puzzles some very chanaging.
01 May 2008 at 6:50 pm
The best I ever played, French quality is not dead
06 May 2008 at 8:18 pm
Hei! Great Mod for Half Life but I need some help: I am in the building with the sentry guns, I am on the 2nd floor in the airaduct after passed 2 sentry guns, there is some Marines below that I have killed: I have also destroyed the first sentry behind the grey door, the second also but I always explosed when I tried to go further (below the 2nd gun)…What I have to do?
For french gamers: Je suis coincé dans l’immeuble avec les caméras au 2eme étage: j’ai passé les premières, je suis dans le conduit d’aération, sorti et tué les marines ainsi que la caméra du fond (de l’autre côté de la porte grise). La 2eme j’arrive à l’exploser mais qd je passe en dessous, j’explose…Que dois-je faire?!
09 May 2008 at 10:08 pm
how do u download it? it says some stupid thing like cant download in library!
WTF! this game looks like it super fun but PLEASE SOME 1 HELP ME DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!
09 May 2008 at 10:33 pm
There are two links in the Basic Details at the top of the post. I just tested them and they worked fine for me. Perhaps you can be more specific regarding the messages you get.
11 May 2008 at 7:51 am
well i have the old version of half life is that the problem?…
do i need the patch?
p.s most of the mods i download dont work?why…
11 May 2008 at 9:09 am
ok when i start a new game the load screen comes up then it just turns off!..
now what??
23 May 2008 at 12:02 am
hello , great mod but i am totally stuck at a point where the walkthrough says ” For the third level, take the door on the right, and break the window to avoid another camera. Get up on the table
and climb into the vent. Avoid the camera in the corner of the corridor. You arrive in a corridor with three cameras.
For the first, crouch to get by. For the two following ones, take the door on the left. Get the stuff in the room.
You need to be quick for the next part. Start by taking the door on the right. Push the crate (near the door) to the
other end of the room near a shelf. Climb on the shelf. Break the grates and crawl to the place where a grate is below
you, leading to liquid. Break this grate with a gun, but don’t go into the liquid (immediate death). Retrace back into
the room and press the button to empty the liquid. Haul ass back through the vents and run across the emptied tank.” its when you get out of the second glass elevator and it makes no sense at all… anyone have a clue please..
27 May 2008 at 8:46 pm
johnnybag comment 189 – whats the map number? Look in your load/save game list for the last one you saved. Post it here and maybe I can help.
29 May 2008 at 11:39 pm
Actually johnnybag, walkthroughs are cheating, and the walkthrough for Invasion has some very strange advice. Which serves you right, cos walkthroughs are cheating.
I just started this mod again in an effort to help you with the walkthrough. I forgot how very very good it is and how using the walkthrough is, actually, cheating.
One part of the walkthrough says:-
‘To cross the broken part of the ladder, it is necessary to run.’
This is nonsense as it’s much more complicated than that.
But who needs a walkthrough? It ruins the fun and is cheating. (Did I mention that?)
Invasion is a totally great mod in every way and once the subtitle language is set up is a real challenge without the walkthrough. So don’t use it cos it’s……….. ok ok.
29 May 2008 at 11:42 pm
Redbone. Post 188. I had that problem after I installed the patch, but not if I didn’t install the patch. ?? Is the patch required?. Seems ok so far.
09 June 2008 at 5:39 pm
I don’t get it. When i use god mode i crash. Why’s that? Can someone please make a fix?
09 June 2008 at 9:49 pm
It has a anti cheat built in. start a new game then in console type testmode and then you can reload a save.
05 July 2008 at 11:04 pm
To all those who have played the French Mod Invasion, I’m stuck at the notorious, bug infested Tank scene, where you have to turn the tank turret to blast through the doors to the outside.
I’ve tried every approach without suceess. I’m wondering, and hoping, that someone might have a saved game for the moment after the doors are blasted through.
Thanks
07 July 2008 at 9:29 pm
Whats the problem?You cant hit the right spot or you dont know how to use it?To use it hit the use key that’s generally “e” or in my case the “enter/return” key
04 September 2008 at 1:24 pm
This has it’s own installer but it’s not going into the Steam folder. Whats the path for this? Does it go to Sorcemods?
04 September 2008 at 1:56 pm
It goes in Program Files\Steam\steamapps\username\half-life if your using steam.For non steam it goes in sierra\half-life.
08 February 2009 at 10:14 pm
Almost every time a new map loads or I load a saved game, it uses up a medkit/battery. How do you fix this??!!
06 April 2009 at 7:57 pm
Umm… make sure you don’t have any left over when loading a quicksave? I seem to recall having this problem back when I played through this on my old WON version of Half-Life, but it wasn’t a game-breaker.
Unfortunately, I’m currently using the Steam version of HL and am having the same problem as out Hungarian Friend did – I can’t use keypads. The problem I – and I suspect he did as well – is that the overlay where the subtitles normally appears doesn’t appear when characters are speaking, and neither does a keypad when we try to use it. The screen just becomes darker and the moue cursor appears. The only way to get rid of the darker screen is to move away from the keypad, effectively closing it.
When I looked at the console, a couple of messages appeared which would account for the subtitles, but I don’t know about the keypad or, presumably, the PCs that appear later on. Any thoughts?
The messages I get in the console are:
Error: could not load file sprites/hud_texthead1.spr
Error: could not load file sprites/hud_texthead2.spr
Error: could not load file sprites/hud_textbox1.spr
Error: could not load file sprites/hud_textbox2.spr
…and there’s also messages about missing menu texts and sounds. It’s annoying, because I remember this being fun and I’m loathe to have to re-install a pre-Steam version of HL if I don’t need to.
