Thanks for the review, Jhoshua!

The mod was a personal project of mine and I wanted to create something with good visuals. It was rather good at the time I believe, but as you've noticed story-wise it could have been much better.
To be honest I expected to be able to make much more levels so the story could develop as well, but time really got in the way.
It took about 8 months and that was with several hours of development pretty much every day.
One man show is no easy job, had friends help here and there, but you really need a good team to pull off something like this. Back in the day we were mostly just kids, it wasn't easy to get people to dedicate a lot of time, especially not for months/years.
I was committed to get this released at any cost, was sick and tired of so many good mods never see the light of day because people wanted to make them a bit better, get more levels, etc. So I had a hard deadline (still missed it by 3 weeks but oh well), then I released as much as I can, needed to get a job back then and start on with my life as well.
Glad there weren't many bugs, it took quite some time to test properly everything, this is probably where I had the most help from friends, they found so many bugs I would have never seen myself :)

Maybe one day NE2 will see the light of day, who knows? :)

If you hold "E" it should come all the way down, I've tested it on the latest source SDK, seems to be working as expected. It's a bit fiddly, though, but should work.

Thanks for the patch! :)

Thats probably because you have save there and you havent saved in this mod at all.

Does it have different content than the full version ?

good review, i just wanted to correct one aspect of the review - i am Bulgarian (half Russian to be correct), and most of the friends who helped me the most are Bulgarian too :)

Great, nice to have it here - no more searching through dead links :)

After you get outside the fence, you need to activate the emergency power. There is a small platform surrounded by fence outside the perimeter. After you activate the emergency power, most of the lights will switch off, then you need to head back to the storage space below the main building and wait for the big metal door to open. Then you will know what to do :)

just ep2, but you cant have ep2 without having the ep1 content anyway.

Try to download the mod again and extract everything again.

The original dev's of CS has nothing to do with VALVe or Turtle Rock.

This review is just awful.
"So in conclusion, mods on the Source engine are currently not very inspired and only one I think has any hope amongst the likes of Left 4 Dead." - This just doesn't make sense.
Also most of the other statements are just wrong.

I can't agree more with OkeiDo - ZPS is by far the most successful mod for source - it has long history (since hl1), it has different game modes, tons of custom content, interesting ideas, big community etc. etc. etc.
IMO the author of this review has no idea what he's talking about.

Just HL2:Ep2

You have to hold "E" until its fully open and the light next to the switch changes.

Hehe thanks, just keep watching the mod and i will let you guys know when there is enough stuff to be said about the sequel.

You have to pull it all the way. Just hold "E" until its fully closed and the green light change to red.

What problem do you have? If you play other EP2 mods this one shouldnt be a problem.

I don't want to reveal that just yet. Just put this mod in your watch list and when i have something to show, i will post news here :) It wont be very soon tho - for example this moddb profile was created when the mod was more than 80% completed.

Valve Hammer Editor of course :) Its included in the source sdk.

this will be explained in the sequel. Actually the whole story in the second part of this mod will be related to this part.

Do you have Episode Two installed and started atleast once? You might also need Source SDK Base - Orange Box (its in the tools tab) and you have to run it at least once too.

Extract the contents of the rar file to your sourcemods folder. For example C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\ and restart steam.

Very good mapping, keep the good work!

Very good detail and lighting, but even if it looks cool, there are no giant stones in courtyards :)

Extract the contents of the rar file to your sourcemods folder. For example C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\ and restart steam.

Your motivation is the will to survive. You are thrown in a prison because you don't want to team up with the combine, but they play with the humans now. So you have to stay in the prison or try to escape and kill everyone who stands in your way.

Actually the only problem are people like you who talk like they know something and try to bring everyone down.
If you created something that is used without permission or proper credit, please let me know, otherwise don't spread lies about this mod.

And your second reason is very far from good. Actually this is where most mods fail. They try to look professional way too much. In the end they just die because if this very reason.

There is nothing wrong with fpsbanana. They have good stuff and its a shame many people dont want to use it just because its uploaded there.

To me two days are enough to get everything set-up. Im not changing anything major just small details that dont affect the gameplay directly.

Using as much custom content as possible is the way to go. It doesnt matter where it is from as long its good enough and you are allowed to use it.
