I think I'm supposed to get into the small compound, but I can't climb the wall, and I can't blow it up Upto now I found it quite enjoyable, bit hard in places but nothing a prudent save can't get you past, and those headcrabs are deadly, but killable.

There doesn't appear to be any story line except some text explaining you're on a spaceship full of crabs. If you want the game to be playable, then set the all headcrabs to have 25 health, zombies to have 100 (there's one zombie boss that needs around 5000-ish or maybe should stay the same, I forget), and aliens to have about 150 and give them all enemies a damage of around 5-10. This makes them kill-able early in the game when you don't have enough ammunition. I actually enjoyed this map pack mostly because of the interesting levels, a FEW interesting jump puzzles, and varied environments (spaceship, blackmesa-style labs, nature-type areas, and dungeony maps). I say play later if you don't feel like messing with the configs and if you don't like really long mods.

Regarding post # 20 --- I found it was Norton AV 2009 that is screwing up the quick load function in HL. I not only had this problem with 'The Real' mod, but with running both the Steam & Sierra versions of HL by themselfs (no mod). HL-2 is NOT affected. If I disable Norton 2009, there is no problem. You can run HL in the Steam 'off-line' mode when you disable Norton & disconnect from the internet to keep your computer safe. Disabling Norton did not fix the 'overflow' error specified in post #14, and the author could shed no light on the problem. As usual BEWARE OF NORTON ! Norton AV 2009 ALERT !!!!
