I don't think that the official mod devs are interested in spending time on that. They scraped that a long time a ago, although they did record all voice for the virtual ai bot.

There seems to be a community project for that in the works, -in the official forums the related thread is called "Hazard Course Remake".

Yes it is. You just replace the mod's track (mp3) with the original track in the appropriate folder (Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\BMS\sound\music).
If you are asking the team to do this in another version of the mod, then no.

Just in case you don't know this; the official forums have a `Bugs section` and multiple threads in the `Cafeteria section` with suggestions for improvement. Your post would probably get more attention from developers if it was there (in the right section/thread) instead of the comments section here, where it can easily be missed.

There will be additional songs for the Xen parts.
And there is also the old track of On the Rail that is separately available from Joel's web site.

stroggoff - - 45 comments @ Max Payne 1 & 2 mod roundup!

Like Maddieman, I want to thank you for mentioning our mod in the list for Max Payne (1) mods :)

It would be great if more people get to discover the many mods for the first two Max Payne games (original and sequel), released or currently in the works (like the Real World or Dawn of the Dead).

I also enjoyed the Street Fighter mod for Max Payne 2, and a lot of the levels included in the Chain Mapping Project and Chain Mapping Project: Reloaded

This is a mod only for the original (first) Max Payne game. Sorry.

Congratulations to the Dear Esther re-maker(s). It's the most anticipated mod for me too, and it looks spectacular!

Great trailer! I'm tracking this mod from here on (I don't know how I missed it before).

awwww! Still I'm hoping for early 2011. It's better for the developer to feel satisfied with the end result than to rush out a release just for staying within the original deadline (which is more of a personal goal and estimation than a strict deadline anyway).

Voted. That caves teaser video is dream-like. Great work, almost can't wait to play it :)

Voted. Don't care about release, this mod is active AND deserves a honorary mention in the results.
And there was an early beta build that was prepared and sent exclusively to the PC Powerplay magazine in January, and their review was very positive.

Amazing work. I can't wait for the whole mod to be remade with the new breathtaking designs. ... But, um, I guess I am gonna have to :)

The mod is NOT password protected. You shouldn't need a password to extract it.

Well, it is school themed, and you 'll get to deal with some "teachers". The story and gameplay were meant to be fun and funny. We may have gone somewhat over the edge with that, as some have pointed out :p
Hope you enjoy Max Payne University, nonetheless.

Thanks for the nice comments :)

Yes, (I am told and have read that) it works with the Steam version of Max Payne.
As a matter of fact, all Max Payne mods should work with the Steam version as far as I know.

There is a readme file that explains what you should do. Follow those instructions, -keep in mind, your sourcemods folder could be located in other drive than C- and steam will recognize the mod.

I've had no problems whatsoever, but have not finished it yet.

Amazing work! Detailed, atmospheric, realistic. I was recently released from -obligatory- army service, and Paranoia, the first part mainly, brings back so many memories... mostly good times.

Nicely done, Paranoia Team.

If it's not related directly/specifically to our mod, then I can't be much of a help :/
I did a quick search, googling "max payne freeze problem" or "max payne lockup" and it seems that quite a few people have had the same problem. Some may have solved it by lowering their sound hardware acceleration down a notch.
I really hope you'll find a solution to the problem.

Hi, unknXwn. Thanks for the kind remarks and the feedback.
So, about this error:
Do you have the latest official patch (1.05) applied?
Does the error occur in a certain level? Does it occur while playing the official game (without the mod)?
Have you tried playing in windowed mode (adding the "-window\" switch to the max payne shortcut) or enabling Task Switching, so as to Alt+Tab your way out of the game and check the error message?

That's weird. Nobody mentioned such a problem before...
Anyway, the main file for the mod is inside the MaxPayneUniversityv1_0.zip archive. Also, there is no mpeg video audio file in there. Only 3 files: MaxAtUniversityv1_0.mpm, ReadMe.doc and DISCLAIMER-CREDITS.pdf. I just double-checked it to be absolutely 100% sure, cause it's been a while since we uploaded it.

MD5 checksums for the files:
For MaxPayneUniversityv1_0.zip: e8d64b25a30196911820a7475e86539a
- MaxAtUniversityv1_0.mpm: 02604B81B73D0B26E75C75B1DA5CF959

- DISCLAIMER-CREDITS.pdf: f06fa83811c7d55eb80f059470b3e6f0

Just, download the zip file from one of the official locations, i.e. from the corresponding moddb's downloads' page (https://www.moddb.com/mods/max-payneuniversity/downloads).

I am not sure I can help you with that. What do you mean by "shuts off"?

If your pc restarts or shuts down completely then it must be some hardware problem or perhaps something overheats (CPU, motherboard, GPU) and your pc shuts down to prevent damage.

If Max Payne crashes to desktop, then it could be because the 2nd level is somewhat heavy. You could try the patch we provide in the download section, and/or lowering some setting from the Max Payne Options Panel (before launcing the game). Also make sure you have Max Payne v1.05 !

Well, that was it for our mod then (which was released in late 2006 and made it to the top 100 last year) :(

Good luck to the mods that are still competing!
