Cat Life mod for Half-Life

Black Mesa, New Mexico...

With regular system crashes and over-driven equipment, a disaster must have been inevitable.Deep within the tunnels and carved corridors of the top secret research complex within the mesa itself, the catalyst was introduced.

When your only companion (indeed your best and only friend of this piddling existence) suffered from an untimely death, you couldn't help but feel lost and vulnerable. And when you stumbled into a series of strange and unnatural incidents, you soon realized that no one cared about YOUR life. No one would take the time to befriend you... to help you... to save you.

People were dieing.And your best friend was one of many victims.You were forced to survive alone.To live by any means necessary.And to do it your way.

Of course, it didn't help that you were born a cat.

Cat-Life is an original concept for Half-Life and the GoldSource engine.Players will experience the Black Mesa incident from the view of a stranded pet cat.

Using claws and teeth and the natural prowess of a cat, players will travel through the bowels of Black Mesa.Xenian beasts roam the corridors and laboratories and... surprise... cats are conveniently bite-sized for those in-between-meal munchies.

• Six new chapters

I'd like to take a moment to thank wavelength for its tutorials and to thank omega, Corvidae, X-Out, XWJ, Badger, Prefect, and BigGuy for their helpful tutorials as they have made editing this source code much easier.  I'd also like to thank :SysOp: and Minuit for their support and info regarding the locations of  important hull definitions and the like.
