CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired
Half-Life 2 mod | Released Oct 22, 2009
CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired is a single-player mod for Source featuring 42 unique, goal-driven missions set in forests, farms, factories and islands.

CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired [3.02]
Description
CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired is a modification for Source featuring 42 non-linear, goal-oriented single-player missions. Requirements: Counter-Strike: Source and the Source SDK base (free with CS:S). This file is the fully-patched, final version and includes all of the latest fixes and improvements, but requires the current map patch (see downloads).
- Please note: this file requires the Map Patch. Download and install the mod using this file, then install the map patch.
A full list of changes introduced in the 3.02 version can be found here. The most important changes are the following:
- Mission briefing now appears after the first autosave of each map, so that the mission objectives and hints can be reviewed when a map is restarted from the autosave.
- Added an autosave to the hub when returning from single missions. Players can now rely on the this save to return to the game between sessions.
- Minor gameplay improvements to Compound, Inferno, Italy, Piranesi, Tides, Battleship, Spirits, Thunder and Stratocorp. Minor efficiencies added to all scripts.
- Removed option to limit player to 10 weapons (caused problems in several maps including the mission hub due to weapons stripped not being deducted from the player total, so that weapons could be lost but new ones could not be picked up).
- Replaced option for vector crosshair with a simple fixed crosshair without a reticle.
- Removed Combine health increase from "Extreme" difficulty setting to make this option more playable. This setting works well when combined with the easier in-game skill options, so that enemies can be killed quickly, but are aggressive and very accurate.
- Includes fixes from 3.01 patch (Aztec fix).
- Added a big icon for the new Steam library window.

thanks for up'ing to moddb
Awsome! =D What's new in this version?
Barring anything unforseen, this is the final version of the mod. Changes include the following:
-Support for 64 bit systems and non-standard Steam locations.
-Now runs on the Source SDK base, meaning that only Counter-Strike: Source is required.
-UAC support for Windows Vista.
-Streamlined Configuration Utility.
-Updates to the translations csv (get this version if working on a translation).
-Faster loading times and minor bug fixes.
Okay =D Nice =)
Will try, Hope it's enjoyable.
Hmmm WinRar Says Formatt is damaged can't extract :(
Try downloading it again. If one of the mirrors is corrupt then please report it: Moddb.com
From the comment below it sounds like there may be a problem with the moddb mirrors. Use the torrent file if you have any trouble with the download above: Gameupdates.org
Thx Fitzroy!
alright :D i can't wait to play this, and thanks for the update :)
It won't work for me. I have tried 2 different mirrors, and they both gave me some format error when I went to extract.
The file I uploaded matches the MD5 hash posted above and works perfectly, so there must be something wrong with the Moddb mirrors. Their contact form is currently broken, so use the torrent download here:
Gameupdates.org if you encounter any errors with the Moddb download above.
I'd prefer not to use a torrent, and I loved your original CSS SCI FI. I'll be sure to try this out once this MODDB issue gets solved.
Regards,
~Vis From The 1187 Team~
I have checked the Moddb mirrors and cannot find a problem
Moddb Server #4 - OK
Moddb Server #5 - OK
Moddb Server #6 - OK
They are all serving exactly the same file and it is identical to the one I uploaded (MD5 verified). Should be no problems.
Also:
Filefront - OK
Whatever the problem was earlier it seems to be resolved now.
Thank you fitzroy, I DL'ed it last night with no problems.
I must say that you have done a GREAT job improving the mod. I love how the difficulty ramps up in the campaigns, and it gives you some time to get used to the gameplay. I encounted only 2 crashes during the 6 maps I played so far (will finish the first campaign today). The mission hub room was a brilliant idea, I'm glad you implemented it. The mission briefings give the player a sense of direction and story that was much needed. The gameplay difficulty is perfect for every gamer, and always brings a needed challenge. Hostages respond to commands well, and the game is overall balanced in mission variety and scope. I'm looking forward to any future releases from you.
Regards,
Vis
Work on Vista??
Yes, it's been tested on Vista, with and without UAC active.
Its looking awesome - anyone tell me why the downloads are so slow? (30 KB/Sec !!)
it says its damaged every time i try to download it...
Should be all fixed now. Any further problems with the download (from anyone) should be addressed to Moddb.com .
nop, it stills downloading wrong, it just stops at 99 percent!!!
Sorry, but it must be a local problem, as it seems to be working for everyone else now that the extension problem is fixed. If you can't download it here, you can try mirrors elsewhere: Amphibian.myzen.co.uk or get the torrent: Gameupdates.org
help me! i run the installer, and install it into my sourcemods folder. Than the problem starts: i have css, but if i click on he folder and choos him, the installer say to me "Counter-Strike: Source does not appear to be installed! Continue anyway?"
plz help...i wanna play =(
Ensure that CS:S has been fully downloaded (start it to the menu screen at least once), and verify your local cache: Support.steampowered.com
Then, run the installer again and enter the path to your CS:S directory when prompted (such as c:\program files\steam\SteamApps\[user name]\counter-strike source). If the path is correct the message will not appear. If the path is correct but the message appears anyway, you may safely ignore it, but you should check at the end of the installation that the custom maps have been installed to SteamApps\[user name]\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps
fitzroy help me plz when i started the game nothing happens can you help me?
Make sure all the paths are correct at both the first and second stage of installation, as per the post you replied to.
Please also note that this mod will not function with pirated non-steam versions of CS:S.
my download takes hours....
its a ,mod :(
oh rly?
WTF?...I don't have CS source but it worked anyway...
It runs on the SDK base and uses resources from CS:S, so the engine is there from some other game you own, but you are missing all the resources. You'll find that you don't have the textures, models and half of the maps.
As the installer makes clear, do not run this mod unless you have Counter-Strike: Source installed.
fitzroy_doll please help me. Now when I try to load it. The game starts, I see the valve logo, then I see only a glimpse of the title screen, before it shuts down and gives me a message the only part of which I can understand is "cache needs repair" I tried several differant things ranging from restarting my computer, to actually uninstalling all of the mod and deleting every file and reinstalling it. nothing worked.
You need to validate your cache.
Validate for the SDK base
Validate for CS:S
I'm going to try this mod.
when loading some maps (dust, dust 2...) game crashed, plz help me!
Yes, this is due to recent updates by Valve. I will release a solution as soon as possible.
The patch is here: Moddb.com
If this is for Counterstrike: Source, why exactly do you have it listed in the Half-Life 2 mod directory instead of the Counterstrike: Source directory? ...
Once again, it uses resources from Counter-Strike: Source but runs on the Source 2006 SDK Base.
Please note that all versions of CSS SCI FI require the most recent Map Patch. Download it here: Moddb.com and install it after installing the mod.

so i dont need steam but the insstall say this isnt steam folder continue or cancel and can you pls post a hole non steam install?
Pirated copies of Source games are not supported.
Does this mod get rid/fully replace the CSS game or is it a complete different program so I can safely play the normal CSS game as I wish?
They are completely separate and all users may safely install and play both.
After you install this mod, you will have 24 new custom Counter-Strike: Source maps in your cstrike directory, which you can play online or against bots as normal.
What about the Combine Soldier? Why is there a Combine Soldier?
Rating: 7/10
Pros: Awesome mechanics
A good challenge
CSS Maps
Cons: Crashes Frequently
Sprint is linked with bullettime
Can't Return to hub
Info: The kick is REALLY overpowered, but does barely anything to physics, crashes on the first zombie level (can't proceed, help me with that please). Overall, it's a pretty fun mod.
This is..... AWESOME! Thanks fitzroy_doll for the creation of this mod!
I LOVE this mod, it just won't let me play inferno and when I tried to get the map patch, the mod stopped working all together, plz help
