Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's début title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world.
This archive will insert the Half-Life Uplink demo levels seemlessly into the full game using Lambda Reactor Core port 07 and its return.
Nice idea.
Indeed, I wanted to have a complete HL experience :)!
I've played this map multiple times, and I'm really glad that you uploaded it as an additional chapter. But, IMHO, adding another content like cut NPCs was a bit surplus)
Sorry, I just like to restore unused content :)!
Well, I agree, the Barney's model and constructor scene in the first chapter look awesome)
I put into my halflife folder and entered port 07, and enabled addon content...but it doesn't work. Care to tell me how it's supposed to work?
This addon only works if you haven't already visited the port 07 map.
hope something like this will happen to black mesa(hl remake)
Added to my "favorites" folder
Thank you, will test it later
I cannot hear the voices :( How i fix this?
You should unpack not only the maps, but "sentences.txt" from "sound" folder as well. The voices for Uplink should be in Half-Life files themselves.
Wet dream came tru after 20 years xD
Oh, this is already quite old ;).
heh yea I am returning to half-life in lower frequency than I used to xD - but still great job =)
Same here, if I find new maps I still play them :)!
which game part is that now seemlessly in?
Lambda Core, during the teleport puzzle
Question: does this addon work with the HD models?
For the most part - sure, it does.
But HD model of scientist has no one animation sequence in the beginning of Uplink (near the console).
P. S. Also, you have to copy the "deadbarney" model from HD Pack of Blue Shift for "c0a0" map.
Why does barney's waiting animation making him control the flashlight by force
Because this model was taken directly from Blue Shift, and the author didn't fix the angle of flashlight (or remove it).
Here's the model That has flashlight animation Moddb.com
I tried it and he still doesn't hold the flashlight nor bang on the door.
That's strange.
I looked at the map and the flashlight is build by brushes that I can't move...
Does this work with Half-Life Restored?
Half-Life Restored doesn't seem to change too much, so I guess it will work.
I used this map in brutal half-life beta 2 (But not c1a4I map), It's good btw
Is it possible to make it so that the Uplink maps are listed as UPLINK in the load game menu instead of hldemo1?
I took a look but I don't see a way to do this. As far as I know the other HL maps are also displayed using their cryptic names...
Why hasn't anyone done a playthrough with this addon installed? It's awesome, and gives the full Half-Life experience.
I agree :)!
Moddb.com you need to see this
I already played that, nice but not the original demo as this one.
I assume we still have all of our weapons during the gargantua part so we can kill it?
No, for most of the time you can't reach him and if you can I doubt you have time enough for this.
is HL Uplink working only with HL steam version or also with CD? I download but i don't know how to run it
You don't have to run it. It just integrates the demo maps seemlessly into the whole HL experience! You will get to them during your normal playthrough.
Is it compatible with the HD pack?
Yes, as far as I know no HD models are affected.
The game keeps on crashing whenever I enter Port 07
"WARNING: couldn't open hldemo.wad"
Same...
That is rather weird, as even the original demo didn't include a hldemo.was file. What version of HL are you trying to runthis?
It's happening to me too. It's the Steam Version. I imagine its the same as the other guy as well.
Update: On a hunch, i made a copy of halflife.wad file and renamed it hldemo.wad and it worked! apart from some missing textures such as wall monitors, posters and the metal boxes in the second level.
My Steam version works fine without asking for a hldemo.wad file. So what wad files has your version in the valve folder? My has 8 wad files. Maybe we can find the one that is missing on your system...
Other than halflife.wad, there is:
Cached.wad
Decals.wad
Envnight.wad
Fonts.wad
Gfx.wad
Liquids.wad
Sample.wad
Spraypaint.wad
Tempdecal.wad
Xeno.wad
Disable the ability to load custom content.
This issue probably caused by a Fixed signs mod Gamebanana.com
Delete valve_addon folder and autoexec.cfg, sample.wad in your valve folder
I found a solution! and it's the weirdest one, but it works 100%
For some reason it will take any renamed wad file as a substitute. however there will be some missing textures. (Purple Checkerboards)
if anyone is having the same problems, Download this file: Moddb.com
Look for hlps2.wad and rename it hldemo.wad and put it in the main valve folder, the uplink addon will work without ANY missing textures at all.
I'm going to Dmitriy-Bars addon and post the same solution because he has your addon included on his HL1 Community mod.
Or just use my answer above.
