Some people missed the ladder in level 8, which can be seen on the screen below at the right side;

This made that the player didn't find the sniper rifle on the catwalk above the road, and also did he miss a trigger there which spawned 2 combines higher up. This caused that 2 floating guns could be seen lateron. To make this side path more clear i have added the ramp that can be seen above on the screen, (left of the ladder). Should the player still miss this ladder/ramp now then he can find near the end of level 8 a second sniper rifle, and also are those 2 combines triggered with another trigger higher up the mountain road;

All other changes have to do with that there were some troubles with the credit text on screen when the mod was played with a FOV of 90. And although most people don't play on FOV 90 i still decided to fix those issues. They are to minor to name then all here, but i could show some of them through a screenshot. Just to show how minor these errors were;

In level 1 the Gordon player figures shoulder goes through the camera, (see screen above left corner down).

Clipboard04

The top left corner of the screen above shows the rocks through the black credit screen.

Clipboard05

For some odd reason the text didn't show well on wide screens, as show above.

Clipboard07

Gordons head was for a part of the second going through the camera, as can be seen in the screen above on the left top corner.

So, as you can see are most of the changes in this 2.0 version to small to name. I will also release a Patch Ep3 v.2.0 for those people who already did download and install the previous (v.1.0 or 1.1) version. For some people there seems to be a problem with Patch Ep3 v.1.1 or Mod version 1.1. Map 08 seems to cause a AI_disabled error messsage. So should you play any of the previous versions of the mod then please just install the small 2.0 Patch and make it override everything.

And for those who never played this mod and would like to give it a try, please use this version 2.0 Patch v.2.0 is then ofcourse not needed.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO READ THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS VERY WELL, THERE EASY BUT NEED TO BE FOLLOWED TO MAKE THIS MOD RUN !!

A warning, for those who dislike HL2 sp-mod which not follow exactly the HL universe, this is such a mod. Meaning, this mod makes use of cutscenes in which is shows Gordon. It has all original HL2 weapons and combine skins changed in to custom made ones.

Thanks for taking the time to fix those minor problems! We DO notice this kind of thing and they can have a certain impact on our impressions of the mod :)

Sorry 99Starkilled, but what do you mean?
Because a few characters do have voices in my mods. Specially dr. Kleiner has quit a few long parts were he says long text lines in cutscenes. Are those parts missing when you play the mod, or is this not what you mean?
Hope you can take the time to explain yourself?
greetings,

Leon

awesome mod, Leon, it was a great play all the way thru. I'm saddened that you won't be making any more mods for HL2, because it's by far my favorite game out there. Maybe, hopefully, Valve will get off their butts and finish this damn game once and for all, with a finale that rivals yours.

Maybe one day, your creative juices for this story will start flowing again, and we'll see some of your great work again. Until then, best of luck with your future endeavors, and the best of health.
