Welp ... the wife just lost me for 25+ hrs.

Thanks LEON !

I have experienced that white flash many times in many mods and never thought much of it. I always thought it was a normal effect of being hit and wanted. I could certainly live with that "bug"

Mega ...it is probably a gameinfo.txt file that needs to be modified.
Have a look here: Steamcommunity.com

Thanks for your suggestions about loading the first half of the levels then the second ones. The only problem is knowing which levels are first ...they are always listed alphabetically in the maps folder. I have come across this very same problem with some mods that don't start because the intro is some kind of Star-Wars hyper speed effect with Gman talking but the mod doesn't get past that and sticks there. is there any info somewhere in the files that tells you what order the maps should be ?
( in any mod )
Thanks again Leon ...can't wait for the release ;)

EDIT: 2.7G I should be able to handle

This looks awesome Leon and that doesn't surprise me a bit knowing your previous work.
I'm all for you releasing it in 2 parts as I have a bit of a dilemma in that my STEAM is located in C: drive and I only have about 9G's of space left in that SDD. I really don't relish the thought of deleting most of my HALF-LIFE stuff and re-downloading it onto another drive with room on it.
How big do you imagine The Closure will be ?

While waiting for this to release I played Final Project: A Mappers diary.For some reason I remeber playing the first half and never finished it ...unless I had DLed a previous shorter version
I must say Leon that is one fine piece of work ...some of your best and I enjoyed it immensely. I'm usually not too crazy about Nova Prospect type maps but your version ( oil rig like) was a very imaginative.
The whole mod was crazy F'ed up ...that was some crazy horse you were riding on while doing it :0
Congratulations on a fine piece of work ... if Valve doesn't snap you up after The Closure is released they'll be missing out on one of the finest mappers out there.

Rock-On leon !

I seem to be stuck ...when I have to get into the cart. After I get in the cart starts moving moving and the screen goes yellow and reloads again.

What am I missing ?

Great ..DLing now and I can't wait to play it.
Thanks guys !

as well I did ...:

you knew exactly where I would get stuck.
Really liked this mod but it's too short ...more please

er ...is ther a walkthrough for this ,,I'm stuck already

Hee hee ..I'm playing Strider Mountain also ..

What I like about your (Leon's) maps is that they are not all dark and about Zombies. It seems to me that most of the newer mods are all a zombie fest.
I'm also not particularly fond of endless maze-type maps.I find a good balance of everything and I absolutely love the sniper rifle...more please

While I'm waiting I re-played Coastline to Atmosphere ...what a great piece of work. One of the absolute all-time best mods ever.

After reading 7683 threads about 4896 problems running mods after the different STEAM updates, I lucked onto this fix.

After applying the fix for HL2- EP2 in this thread :https://steamcommunity.com/app/420/discussions/0/864971765497379056/
if you get an error : " 41/monitor_breencast_jumbotron2-func_monitor:not precached:*2 "

simply go into the mods maps folder and rename background_01 to something else. I used background_10 and the mod launched.
I imagine this fix will work on any mod that gives you a " xxx not prechached "
error.
I hope this helps some people frustrated by not being able to play many of the older mods out there.

Thanks Blood_Wraith ..I'm really enjoying your work .

Rock -on !

After reading the first sentence of my post , I realize how it could be taken wrong .. ;)

Great mod ...nice and long and just hard enough to keep me on my toes.

I am stuck however and the walk through I found on YT doesn't point me in the right direction.
After finding the second barrel and depositing it at the gate near the subway cars, the walk through sends me to the passage barricaded by an X (planks) and when I get to the end, the elevator is still up and I can't drop down to the water below as shown in the walk through. I see a ladder going down but there is a grate there instead of the water.
What did I miss ?

Unfortunately this mod as well as countless others has been ruined by latest updates to steam. I tried the various fixes but the best I could do was to get it to play but with so many missing textures as to render it unplayable. I tried so many fixes that I can't even remember what I did to get that far and I can't get it to play anymore at all
Does anybody have a fix for this wonderful looking mod ?

What Steam fix ...linky please

I can't get this game to launch ..it craps out after the valve-faucet-in the head (which I can't see. I only get a big white block and the audio.
The game then returns to STEAM with a "cannot load library client"

I've tried the usual mod fixes with no success.
Any suggestions ?
