Disregard. Says it right in the description. Doy!

Does it include the Caves of Chaos? That's the part I remember best from the original module.

Actually, after deleting the mod and re-extracting it, it works again. But if I quit the game and restart, it doesn't work (like I said above).

It's very odd. Worked great last night with 1.5.8, but this morning it crashes hl2.exe at the initial loading screen. Removed the mod file and then replaced it, still crashes.

Here are the details of the crash it gives me:

I really enjoyed what you did with Alyx. Great job in recycling her dialogue: her performance felt quite natural and it never felt like she had just been shoehorned into your mod. I was very impressed with that. There is also a great scare when I was trying to grav-gun through a blocked door, and then turned around to find a Fast Zombie standing right behind me. (I assume that was deliberate!) Good use of music cues as well. I also enjoyed the combined hopper-mine/exploding barrel traps: are they your invention? Overall, I think you did a great job with this mod!

Dislikes? Not much. The Combine fights felt a little weak. In the Valve games it feels like they are always actively pursuing you, and in your mod they feel a bit more reactive, like they're just standing in rooms waiting for you to arrive. I also think your levels, while very well designed and with a nice flow, could use a bit more clutter/set dressing.

Excellent work, though!
