Is the Half-Life series too long to replay? We've got you covered.
This is a sourcemod that uses the Source 2013 Singleplayer SDK. To install, place the "abridged" folder inside your "sourcemods" folder which can be found under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods" if you are using the default steam install path.
Then you need to make sure you have installed "Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer" under the tools section of your steam library, then you also need to make sure that you have set it to the "upcoming" beta. You can do this via right clicking on the SDK, selecting "Properties", then "Betas" and lastly selecting "upcoming".

This looks cool. Will it work on Linux?
I haven't compiled it for Linux so it won't just work out of the box. I haven't used Linux much at all but maybe Wine or Proton can make it work.
Is the source code available? I would be interested in seeing if I could get it to compile.
Yes. Github.com
Have you ever compiled it/made a linux release?
just run all of the nessecary files through proton
Is there a way to make this all one continuous string of maps? So that it goes from Black Mesa Inbound, to Anomalous Materials, etc. With the only discrepancies being Half-Life 2 and the Bonus maps.
When I try to extract the files, there are thousands of errors and every file weighs 0 bytes. What is going on?
Try redownloading it.
I put the file in sourcemods, and loaded up the SDK 2013 single player, but all i got a was Lost Coast video stress test. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
You are loading up the wrong thing you are loading up the SDK itself. Instead, load up the mod named "Abridged" in your Steam library. (If it doesn't show up, you installed it wrong)
hey i put it in sourcemods and have the sdk set to upcoming beta but it still doesnt show up in my library and idk what i did wrong >< what can I do to troubleshoot this? It's my first time installing a half life 2 mod
Make sure to restart steam after you put the folder into sourcemods. Also the game is just called "abridged" so try looking for it under A.
Can sombody please help me install the mod. I cant figure it out.
The installation instructions are available above, click "Read more..."
Ik i am diff. person but can you help how i am supposed to launch it?
First install source sdk 2013 singleplayer then install Half life abridged unzip the folder(it should be in downloads)then go to (This PC > Local disc(c:) > program files(x86) > steam > steamapps > sourcemods)and place the unzipped folder into there.One last thing make sure that source sdk 2013 singleplayer is set as upcoming or the game won't run to do this right click on source and click on properties then go to betas and select upcoming. Have Fun! =D
Installed and ran the SDK,(stress test runs fine) the mod shows up in steam, but it crashes to desktop right after the valve logo, No menu, no error message. Any ideas?
You might need to manually set the resolution of the game.
To do that, go to the properties of the Steam Library listing, then select "Set launch options..." then put in "-w 1920 -h 1080".
You need to set up SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer to "upcoming" - as detailed in the install instructions!
you got to change the version to upcoming right click sdk 2013 singleplayer and press properties and then press beta and change it to upcoming
Every time I run the game it does the valve intro and it just Closes the game
How do I fix this?
Make sure the SDK Base is set to upcoming
it crashes after the valve intro (i downloaded all SDKs)
Please follow the install instructions step-by-step! Make sure the SDK Base is set to upcoming.

Looks interesting.
Haven't downloaded or tried this yet.
Is this Half-Life, 2 and Episode One only?
Is there any list of chapters in order?
Update: I doublechecked this comment section and it would appear that this is not actually in order of how Half-Life goes...
Update 2: No, this is Half-Life, 2 and episodes. I tried the mod.
can anyone explain I just extracted the files with winrar and then i dragged the abridged file into steam steamapps sourcemods and then i played it on my steam library and after the valve icon it just stops running
set source sdk 2013 to upcoming
i extracted the game and put the game into the sourcemods folder, installed source sdk 2013 singeplayer and set it to upcoming, and restarted steam, entered my resolution into the launch options blah blah blah, and it just crashes after the valve intro! am i doing something wrong?
