Lost Coast Beta Mappack addon

This addon for Half-Life 2: Lost Coast includes:
- 6 maps created during the development of Lost Coast by Valve.
- 1 rough mockup of the earliest known iteration of Lost Coast, in which the player rides in a boat with the Fisherman into the bay.

"What is the 2004 era mockup based on?"
- According to Valve's Robin Walker, one of the early versions of the Lost Coast had the Fisherman picking the player up in a boat and bringing them to the Monastery.
- One of the early iterations of Lost Coast (d2_LostCoast_scene.vmf, dated February 2005) contains a very highly detailed path on the other side of the level from where the player actually goes in that version. The original spawnpoint in the map is also on a dock at the start of that path, all seemingly leftovers from the boat ride version. All of this leftover geometry was left unchanged for the mockup.
- All dialog shown onscreen in the mockup is original, taken from Lost Coast's closedcaptions_english.txt file. The dialog is shown on screen instead of played because the audio files are missing from the game.
