Research and Development is a puzzle-centric mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two featuring an unarmed player but plenty of violent mayhem.
Updated 17 July 2009, fixed several issues & added a dynamic crosshair when using the keypads & lab buttons. Requires Episode Two.
This is the installer version. Hopefully it should fix an issue with the mod not showing up on steam games list at all.
Very late edit:
This mod was created by mbortolino, send your PM's to him about the mod.
I(DuckSauce) simply created this installer due to issues people had with the regular zip files.
Editted in now because Mod of the Year kicked in, who knows what people will flood here and get confused :P
Thanks Ducksauce :D
I still wonder why it's so hard for people to open a .zip file :P
(buried)
Whats a .zip file?
You open it with winrar or winzip and extract the files.

Herf Derf, whats winzip, I don't use google and make new threads to ask a question herf derft.
o.O
And this is the best singleplayer mod i ever played :D
And zip isnt good... 7z ftw!! it makes really a big difference: 50mb in 10mb for instance
(buried)
Does anyone realize I am kidding?
no one cares you try that hard
I did :D
(buried)
lol yea what a bunch of morons
Haha, true, true!
I wonder why you got down voted :(
He got rated down for something called trolling.
you don't have to, you can open with default windows, it's just easier with winzip :P (and you have to save it with windows)
(buried)
I have the hardest boner ever right now thanks to you C==========B
TMI
Burn this guy!
The whole internet is full of .zippies
Well I love winrar :) it should be included with windows it is more popular than a .zip file
.rar extension has become popular thanks to warez. Since it allows archives to be split into pieces. Rapidshare uploadlimit fail! lol!
It is also simple when burning a large archive to a DVD, simply split the archive into 4.7gb parts ;)
Winrar sux lolol.
7Zip for the win, seriously.
yea i like 7zip
I use 7zip for the simple fact that it's free without limits.
zip yourself
It turned out I shouldn't have put it in C:, but in Users.
Uhm, it doesn't go in either of those places. The mod folder should be at:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\
Well, that didn't work for me, I must be special :P.
If that didn't work for you, putting it in Users will work less.
The download at filefront isn't working for me..keeps saying page was reset or something..sucks the big one.
I finally got it to download, but nonetheless it was pretty frustrating. Hopefully Moddb can host the installer in the future.
Does this fix Mr. Whirly?
wouldn't know, but it's the same updated version released yesterday, if you didn't download that one you may give this one a shot, I don't think it does fix anything related to Mr. Whirly though.
OK so we shouldn't use this file then?
nope, I created it for the people that were having issues having it showing up on steam(it seems there are at least 2 possible sourcemods folders, the installer should automatically pick the right one for those people)
It doesn't, I suffer EVISCERATOR's bug.
And what if it doesn't?
Edit: Then you don't have Episode 2. Doi.
1 of the best mod !!
Played and finished yesterday, nice work :) 10/10 !
So epic mod!!!
omg what a mod :D nice :D
very fun mod
woot.
:) GOOD
Great work guys. I am happy that there is finally a great puzzle mod for HL2. Downloading now!
i click 'download' and it goes straight to a pop-up ad
???
I CANT DOWNLAOD IT!!!
lol
wait..do i have to convert the .zip file to .rar to open it?......and i use 7z to do that?
DuckSauce - I registered just so I could post here and thank you for this great mod. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I did find one place where I unintentionally bypassed one of your puzzles. Would you like me to post the information here, or how can I get in touch with you? I don't think this forum has a PM feature.
This forum does have a PM feature- view the member's profile and there is a send PM button there. And he only made the installer, he has nothing to do with the mod.
They changed it for a .exe file.
/facepalm @ all .zip askers
DOWNLOAD THIS MOD OR GO TO HELL!
True...True :D
minus the mr. whirlie exit glitch i experienced, fantastic mod. if half-life 2 and portal were to have a baby, they would give us research and development.
