Typically it isn't a hassle but sometimes files tend to cause some problems.

Hey FlippedOutKyrii!

We already have a decent chunk of the community content uploaded onto archive.org

Archive.org

Barter Town will serve as a front-end for these files to provide information such as author, date published, compatibility, and more. It will also serve as a place to host new modifications for The Wastes (2018), The Wastes RC1, Wasteland HL, and even Dead Cities.

There's still a good chunk of missing maps that are documented. We hope to continue getting into contact with former community members and those involved with the project in hopes to preserve as much official and community made Wasteland HL and The Wastes content as possible!

Edit (04-16-23 15:02 UTC -0400):
Archive.org page is back online!

While not related to the development of "The Wastes: Source," Wasteland Half-Life 2 is related to the linage of The Wastes as a whole.

Arlisto appears to be unfinished. Contains no multiplayer spawn points and certain paths lead to walled off areas.

Wasteland Half-Life 2 did not get very far into development to warrant its own page. This mod is built for Source Base 2006 and older versions of the Source Engine.

It is recommended to play this map with Wasteland Half-Life 2.

It is highly recommended to install Arlisto into the build.

Hey, that Discord server is now defunct, but you can still chat with us on IRC!

Server: irc.frag-net.com:6667
Channel: #wastes

We've made an agreement with the party involved in the recent trademark dispute, and can continue to use the name Half-Life: Absolute Zero as we have before! Please keep in mind that any harassment towards anyone involved will not be tolerated, especially now that everything is cool between us.

Big thanks to Marc Whipple of Whipple Legal Services for stepping in on our behalf--pro bono, no less--and representing us!

We’re aware of an incident that happened earlier today in the Absolute Zero Discord involving multiple members of the Half-Life community, and we’re currently dealing with the situation as best as we can.

Cobalt-57 does not, never has, and never will condone the types of things said by certain members of the community. These people have been banned from the server, and are not representative of the developers on the team or the community as a whole.

We’re looking at improving our moderation in Discord so something like this doesn’t happen again. If anyone is hurt or offended by anything said by the banned members of the Discord, it was not our intention to let that happen, and we sincerely apologize.

If you have any questions, or anything you’d like to ask us, please visit the Absolute Zero Discord server, ModDB page, or send us something on Twitter. We’re just a bunch of young adults trying a bit too hard to make a Half-Life mod, and we’ve got the time to talk.

Cobalt-57 is looking for experienced mappers! More details here: Moddb.com
