Snow-War is a Half-Life mod based around snowballs fights.
When you spawn to Snow-War server, you first have one snowball.
To make more you just have to press "make snowball" button. You can carry maximum of 3 snowballs at time unless you find ballbag power-up. You can see the amount of snowballs in the lower-right corner.
You can throw your snowball by pressing and releasing the throw snowball button, and the longer you hold the button, the longer the ball will fly. It's actually very simple, but because the ball is lot slower than bullet, hitting some one moving is very hard.
And that's the point that makes Snow-War sessions very intensive -or frustrative, depending how bad you are :-)
To gain frags in Snow-War, you must hit someone with snowball usually two times. You can see your own health level on the temperature meter. When it reaches zero, you have been fragged!
More information of different game modes and power-ups can be found in the manual that comes with Snow-War install.

30.12.2000, 4 years ago Snow-War site went public. It has been a long road, but I think it was worth it. Despite all the difficulties we have managed to make several releases over the years. As we know many (most) mods never manage to get release out, so I am definately happy Snow-War got beyond the concepts.
And aa celebration of the event, I made Snow-War Classic Map Pack for you all!
It contains 13 maps for Snow-War 2.0. They are from older releases, except sw_industrial3 and sw_snowvalley. Maps included are ctf_riverside, kotm_fort, sw_backyard, sw_badtaste1_snowfall, sw_cool, sw_cream, sw_creambase, sw_ferret, sw_frostbite, sw_industrial3, sw_lake, sw_playgroundII and sw_snowvalley.
Although time has driven past on some of the graphics in maps, they should still provide the same good ol' gameplay they did back then!
Here are some pics of what you can expect:
You can find the pack in Snow-War site right under the Snow-War 2.0 release.
So happy New Year and Snow-Wars 4-year Anniversary!

Hey @MechaWeasel, if you provided me with a Linux Server client I'm more than happy to spin up a server.
Update with latest Windows 10 updates, Snow-War is working again for me!
Got TWO servers online for it again - one team-play and one no teams!
Both of these should show on the in-game server browser now:
[F+M] Snow-War #1, Team-Play
* Connect by IP ... 162.248.88.40:6206
* Connect by FQDN ... Games.FreaksMisfits.club:6203
[F+M] Snow-War #2, No Teams
* Connect by IP ... Games.FreaksMisfits.club:6206
* Connect by FQDN ... 162.248.88.40:6203
Great newes i just copy this to the steamapps/comon folder ??
Install it into steamapps/common/Half-Life folder. The installer should detect this folder automatically if you have Half-Life installed.
Also the game might complain something about client.dll when you try to launch it. The solution is to remove that file from the mods folder (Half-Life\snow\cl_dlls).
At this point, the game no longer runs. Windows complains about the game DLL with an error such as ...
"could not load library C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\snow\cl_dlls\client.dll"
So, unless the original developers still have the source code and want to recompile and associated troubleshooting, this mod is unfortunately now DEAD.
Someone pls remake this awesome mod !
New Server, Same Game.

Are there any events or is there a Snow War discord so I know when people are playing? Unfortunately the server is always empty when I want to play :D
wish i could vote on this but no new version :(
Got TWO Snow-War servers back on-line for this Winter / Holiday Season (2017-2018)!
Stats available here:
Stats.freaksmisfits.club
Server IP:Port's are:
192.223.29.234:6203 = Team-Play / Team-Deathmatch
192.223.29.234:6206 = Free-for-All / Deathmatch
Have not had a chance to test them yet, will this weekend!
