Some beautiful and very imaginative environments, but immensely frustrating game play. As others have mentioned, many of the triggers....don't. You wind up in some huge cavern, kill everything, and there's nowehere to go and nothing to do. Then you noclip to find that one of the metal boxes has fuel inside, but opening the box requires a dozen attempts before it will function. Without a walkthrough and/or cheats this mod would be pretty much impossible, because this kind of scenario happens over and over again. But still it has its own style and vision which, despite the aggravations, do work their magic on you. What a mixture!

In 'proftext2', insert a right bracket on the line following 'they're headed-' and the English text works fine. Make this correction before you copy and paste the body of this file into the PAK file as instructed. Also I noticed that I got an error in a later map regarding a 'pure function' call -- switching to openGL solved this problem.

Can't ge the yellow crate to open wchich has the explosives insde so I (grr) had to no-clip. When back to the lounge, can't climb the litte door leading to the attic, just stuck on it - no clip again. Lit the fuse & all worked, got the code. You have to be VERY fast when entering the code or you'll have to do it multiple times. After lasers go down (briefly) another set pops uh behind you preventing you from going back. Went to the room with the 2 scientist talking to me in German (of course). According to the walkthough, you walk up to the 2nd scientist & he's suppose to say "alright, let's go in" & does something. NOPE! I had to fire my pistol in the air to make him bring the elevator up. So far, it's pretty agravating.
