latter team is included unchanged in extras. Also I

in Spirit of Half-Life and betatesting this mod :)!

------Map Instructions-----------------------------------------------

Install by extracting this archive with use folder names checked into
your Half-Life directory. It may only work with HL 1.1.1.0 or higher.

Start Half-Life, select "Custom Game" and activate "Xen-Warrior" then
start a new game. Or select "Xen-Course" for a simple training first.

If you run Half-Life from Steam, after extracting this archive inside
the game folder, restart Steam, and you will see a Xen-Warrior entry.

------Additional Info------------------------------------------------

HINTS:
Most of these infos are also provided during the Xen-Course training!
Gain health and armor by feeding on dead enemies. Weapons slot one is
a close range attack, weapons slot four is the usual hornetgun. While
using it, only close contact to the target or secondary fire mode can
destroy or move things. Parasitic Xen animals are still hostile, also
angry allies. Do you remember where you saw the last level before ;)?
Xen lifeforms show a red aura, Earth lifeforms a green one, others...
