I hope you all stay safe, this is awful for everyone involved.

We are all better than this - it is so unfair how the fragile ego of one person can ruin the lives of so many.

Just so you all know as well, I have just started your mod and am very much enjoying it! I look forward to playing more.

Thanks and I am glad you enjoyed it!

Regarding the parking lot, I imagined that the military cleared the area as a staging ground to enter the facility, and then to ambush the HEV guard thinking it was Freeman (removing his potential cover).

Also, I thought it would be funny that the dead people you mentioned had just stayed there the entire time, chatting away oblivious until they died, haha.

Thank you for playing!

Brilliant work, I am excited for the full release. I presume you are using Spirit of Half-Life in some way as a base - which version did you start with?

What graphics card do you have? Is it a laptop?

Yes it will certainly cause some issues, I use animations that only exist in the PS2/decay versions of the models.

Are you playing on the steam version of half life?

I know you have your own edits to the code for this, but I am wondering what you used as your base. Was it one of the spirit of half life versions, or something else entirely?

It was not me, I came across the model online. There is a credit and link in the readme :)

No - it requires the Steam version due to higher entity counts. You might have luck with Xash and the fan patch in the file section, but I never tested it.

Hi, only the Steam version is officially tested and supported.
A fan patch here might get it working but I cannot guarantee

Check the install instructions in the readme - make sure that you are running the Steam Version of Half-Life on Windows.

The echoes folder and cg.dll and cgGL.dll files need to go in the Half-Life folder. Make sure the .dll files are not in the echoes folder or elsewhere.

The final boss Garg has a set health value within the map and is killable to trigger the ending

The armour (HEV battery) amount is controlled within the map and is the same value on all difficulties so editing skill.cfg will make no change. If you somehow kill the Garg when you are not supposed to I added a game over "error" message!

If I understand right, are you asking how armour works in this mod? It is a bit of a mapping hack with no coding at all, you are still picking up HEV batteries but I made them invisible. I use a separate model to show a helmet or body armour in its place that gets removed when you collect the battery. If I remember right, I set the battery to give 25 armour for a helmet, and 50 for the body armour. I just replaced the sprite on the HUD and muted the HEV suit.

I've said it before but thanks for all the years of your Half-Life community work, I was a big ten-four reader back in the day! I don't think I would ever have made this without that site back in the day

Very kind of you!

I have had a look at the Alyx map tools actually. I never even tried out Source editing so this was a quantum leap in technology for me. I think the VR gameplay would be perfect for horror and escape room type levels...

That's a great mod! That won't affect anything as it's a source mod and not related to Half Life
