Plus, the current walkthrough videos are WAY too dark, I can't see enough details.

I can see how much work has gone into Captive Freight, but the layout is too complex for me, too few indicators of the exit from the current area or room, although I did find some exits that were not obvious.
Lots of frustration trying to find the next path, too many dead ends. Thanks for all your effort.

I's December 10th and no Chapter 4 download can be found....only Chap 1-3. Do we have to wait for end of day or worse, tomorrow morning ??

It shows up in my Library fine, but only shows one Chapter. Can we choose a
Chapter ourselves and jump to different chapters ?

I think I figured it out....every time you run the mod, it choses 11 different
chapters and you play them through one at a time.
do the chapters have copies of the same maps, or are they all different in each
chapter ?

Thanks for your efforts on this.
It should keep me out of trouble for the winter. :)

How do we install this ?
In any empty directory ?
There are no instructions

Does everyone that has this mod have a client.dll and server.dll
in their 'bin' directory ? I have:

I'm getting an engine error, 'could not load library client'.
When I go to 'LOCAL FILES' to verify the cache, it give me:

I'm trying to run Escape2 for Half-Life and in the console I'm getting:

0 0000 svc_bad
0 0000 svc_bad
0 0000 svc_bad
0 0000 svc_bad
BAD: -1:svc_bad
Wrote erroneous message to buffer.dat

the only info in buffer.dat was:

Are we supposed to get into the vents, especially in the freezer level?
Those grills can't be moved or smashed.

Put the config.cfg where, and cover it with what ?

I also closed Half-Life, validated the game files, and brought Half-Life up again,
still nothing in the keyboard tab.
Now I'm taking the 'unbindall' out of config.cfg and restarting the game...

When I use the 'use Defaults' button, the keyboard tab is still not populated.

The bd.rar file I downloaded and un-rar'ed to my half-life directory does not have any keys mapped or Labels for the keys in the Options dialog.
I'm not even sure which file in the HL mods controls that.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks.

I've installed the full version (1.7 into sourcemods)and uninstalled 3 times and the mod does not show up in my Library list. Are there any special install instructions ? I restarted Steam after installing....

None of the ladders in these maps seem to work, I could not climb any of
the ones I came across (?)

Also, you cannot find or give weapon (with cheats) for the crossbow, that would make it a bit easier to pick off the
cops.

Good mod, but through the canals, you have a chopper tailing the player,
but you don't allow the player to obtain an RPG.
Very difficult to get through the canals with the chopper there...???

When I started Overcharged for the first time, Steam downloaded updates to
Lost Coast, HL1, HL2, HL2 EP2 and EP1
The game then crashes to the desktop in map d1_canals_01a, just as I go to walk around the piles of rocks before the rebel base.
I'll try loading the next map before I get that far and see what happens.

Which game is this mod written for ? Half-Life 2 ? Episode 1 ? Episode 2 ?

Which game is this mod written for ? Half-Life 2 ? Episode 1 ? Episode 2 ?

or, does it go in common\half-life2\episodic\maps ?

I can't remember where HL2EP2 maps or mods go.
Can this one go in sourcemods ?

Where do we have to put the vmf file that is in the suxar directory ?

I tried something I learned a few months back when the mouse in Opposing Force was acting up, pulling the mouse back to a position when I tried to
move it in a big arc. I set the mouse to use raw mouse input, and the keys started working, I could move. So I tried it again, and it did not work.
When it did work, it was at the end of the opening scene with the heli-
copter, just before the camera switched from panning to being on the ground.
I've never seen this happen in a mod before.

I copied the half-life\Valve\config.cfg into the mod directory,
and restarted Steam, but the key bindings still do not show up.

I downloaded and ran the mod, but the settings have no key bindings...????, and the wsad, etc keys do nothing...

When I play this mod, several of the weapons don't have a model, and I end up seeing red areas (parts of 'ERROR') in the upper left and upper right of
the screen. I can't reproduce that here, moddb does not allow screenshots
in posts.....
Also, the crossbow fires 2 or 3 arrows each time I fire it; is there a
reason it does that ?
Thanks for your work on this. I like the mod.

The archive is a '7z' file, and needs to have 7-zip installed, at least for Windows.
