School Adventures - Half-Life 2

i played through it although the level shouldve had alot more enemies i found alot of the rooms empty.
If you found the Stapler (hidden behind a wooden bookshelf) nice model & sound although its just the crossbow still a nice touch.
excellent level design the beginning couldve been better since u dont get the crowbar right off the bat.
A 2nd release with more enemies would be nice still pretty awesome.

Please visit the moddb page of this mod:

And, i hope, you all find the way to next map?

Why? What does it have that this page doesn’t?

There’s a discussion/thread which (sort of) addresses my grumble about the mod lacking an objective. Apparently it does have one, but it’s well hidden. And that’s the crux of the problem. There’s a keycard and a stapler to be found, but after you’ve opened an identical door to be greeted by an identical room beyond, for the umpteenth time, you’re unlikely to notice these little bits of paraphernalia lying around.

I haven’t finished playing this one yet, but if you find the security card early on before investigating inside the school, I’d bypass it. It was really great model design though, just really no game play. I have to say, all those students must have really gotten tired standing on their feet all day in class.

I don’t know. After I accessed the sewers & needed to depend on my flashlight, I had to stop playing. Bummer because it was kinda spooky.

Jowpers, apparently you are suppose to kill 6 manhacks. If you don’t kill all six, the train keeps going. There have been problems with the 6th one getting stuck in the tunnel somewhere so it’s suggested you start again from a save point. I’m having the same problem as you & finally went to another the author’s website (i think moddb) & read through those comments. After you kill the 6th one, the train is suppose to stop.

As for my earlier post about the flashlight, I finally just “felt” my way around until I came to a light source.

Repeatedly, I only found & killed 5 manhacks instead of 6 - the author has a d/l available at moddb for a save point that takes you to the train ride’s end if you’re stuck at that point.

6th manhack??
you’re all much further then i have come untill now. i agree with most comments above, the architexture is ok, but in some places the mapper made beginners mistake, still, great mapping, (although optimization would have been nice!!! read = a must!).
about the stapler, i did find it, and had to luagh about the size of it, never knew it is a weapon, will pick it up next time. to me it seems that this was the first map and the maker didn’t know how to spawn enemies yet, so he just placed some around, what makes you only have at the start enemies, and after the that the rest of the map is empty. still, all those awsome new models make it more then good. great great modeling, loved some pices. have looked at them very careully!!
still, my biggest problem is that i’ve played it 3 times, the first map. and every time when i got to the 3th fllor i believe it is, the game crashes. is there some kind of bug there??

I didn’t have any game crashes, but once you get past the first map, more will start happening Leon.

I thought it was an excellent mod believe it rates at least a 3. Starts too slow which might be due to the large number of doors and empty rooms,

HI!

Nice Mod!
I had to download the savegame to get out of the train! But now I’m in a room (subway-station?) where alyx and some friends are! After killing a lot of combines all the friends have been beemed (teleported?) away and still alyx and I remain there. What have I to do next? Or is it again a bug, that I can’t findout what to do next?

thanks in advance!
just_me

yes, it is an another bug. but, before this scene with teleportation, game auto-saving.
just load this autosave and kill lot of combines again…
