The goal of Half-Life 2 : MMod is to enhance and expand gunplay, combat mechanics and the immersion factor by giving the Player more options and combat opportunities as well as refine how the Player handles his arsenal. Half-Life 2 : MMod also offers minor AI enhancements, extended abilities for combine soldiers, multiple bug fixes, enhanced visuals, VFX re-design, sound redesign and much much more, while keeping nearly every new feature in the mod totally optional.
Half-life 2 : MMod is primarily a gunplay enhancement mod for all current Half-Life 2 games and Steam Store redistributed Half-Life 2 Mods ( every mod needs "compatibility patch" ). Because of that, HL2MMod relies on the Half-Life 2 games, which are installed on your system.
Half-Life 2 : MMod was designed to work with :
####
Half-Life 2 : Update
Half-Life 2 : Episode 1
Half-Life 2 : Episode 2
Half-Life 2 : Lost Coast
####
Half-Life 2 : MMod can support user-created mods, as long as they don't have their own binary files ( client.dll, server.dll ), for that they need "compatibility patches", an example of such patch can be the Lost Coast version of mmod, check out its gameinfo.txt for an example on how HL2MMod manages and loads its content.
Half-Life 2 : MMod relies upon the BETA ( Upcoming ) branch of Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer, which can be installed from your Tools section on steam. MAKE SURE TO SET Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer TO BETA ( UPCOMING ) BRANCH : Right click on Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer in your steam library->Betas->Select "Upcoming". Restart steam.
If you plan to make a "compatibility patch", then make sure your patch includes these folders : resource ( just icons and fonts ), resource_gameui2, shadereditorui - there are mandatory to insure proper support with HL2MMod.
####
TLDR :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BEFORE YOU INSTALL : MAKE SURE TO DELETE ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF HALF-LIFE 2 : MMOD FROM YOUR SOURCEMODS FOLDER, DO A CLEAN INSTALL, YOU SHOULD NOT BE PROMPTED TO REPLACE FILES~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Install : Half-Life 2 , Half-Life 2 : Episode 1, Half-Life 2 : Episode 2, Half-Life 2 : Lost Coast ( optional ) and Half-Life 2 : Update. Install Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer and set it to beta ( upcoming ) branch : Right click on Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer in your steam library->Betas->Select "Upcoming". Put HL2MMod, HL2MMod_EP1, HL2MMod_EP2, HL2MMod_HL2U, HL2MMod_LC from HL2MModv1.1 folder into : \Steam\steamapps\sourcemods. Restart Steam. Now you should have Half-Life 2 : MMod version for each Half-Life 2 game.
You now should have 5 new folders in your SourceMods folder. After restarting your Steam Client you should have 5 new instances of MMod for each game. If the game instantly crashes to your desktop after you launch it - check if your Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer is set to Upcoming

Hi, I have a question, when i try to run it it quits to desktop with the error message "Unable to load manifest file 'scripts/surfaceproperties_manifest.txt" how do I fix this error?
You need to go to the steam store and install "Half-Life 2 : Update"
you won't have it in your games list, have to get it off the store, then run it again
Thank you for this, I was missing it and this solved it.

Same problem here. I have fresh HL2 Update and mod installed correctly but getting this error.
Check and see if Source SDK 2013 singleplayer is on the "upcoming" beta
Got this error too. Everything worked fine after i uninstalled everything related to source and then reinstalled it after restarting steam.
I just figured it out: you gotta make sure half life 2 update is on the same drive as your sourcemods.
i also get this error, didnt happen with 1.0
i have HL2 update installed on the same drive as sourcemods, and the source sdk 2013 thing with "upcoming" beta
edit: apparently both HL2 update and source sdk 2013 have to be on the same drive as the sourcemods, not just hl2 update

Happy New Year,
I am really excited to try this mod. I am having trouble because I have steam/half life 2 installed in a seperate hard drive just for games. all the pathways are the same except for the drive letter. E instead of C. Does that make a difference? Does install order make a difference? I installed all half life games, then downloaded sdk (beta). then your mod folders.
There was Metastasis folder there. Do i need it? (Not mentioned in the "How-to")
Also, an extras folder in root directory.
When I launch half life 2 (any) it doesn't appear that the mod takes effect.
*Edit*
I didn't realize "update" was a seperate installation, (Thought it meant update half life 2) I'll try again
I have the same problem, but i have update installed. Did you ever figure this out?
I know this is a strange request... and I know it's unwarranted. But for some reason the way Gordon holds the AR2 with his left hand bothers me. I don't know is there any way I can fix that or change it? Is there any way you can make a file so he holds it as the combine do?
His hand is there because before the left hand wasn't really supporting any weight so it makes more sense now, also changing that one tiny detail would mean having to almost entirely re-animate the rifle.

I'm getting a "Could not load library client. Try restarting. If that doesn't work, verify the cache." I've done this and reinstalled all my Half-Life 2 games. Any help?
