What if Cave Johnson's multiverse theory was right? In which one includes Aperture buying out Black Mesa, and canceling the Anomalous Materials Research. You, as Gordon Freeman run through Blaperture Mesa and the new testing facility in Sector C. Testing goes horribly wrong however and Gordon gets sent deep underground to the abandoned Anomalous Materials labs, and re-activates the Anti Mass Spectrometer. Causing the resonance cascade, and going through the decaying Blaperture Mesa Facilities to make it to Aperture, where a rouge AI protects a multiverse portal that could lead Gordon home.

How do I play this? I put the files in sourcemods, yet the search function can't find this demo.
You unzip the file, and inside you should have two folders, "Half-Alive-Halloween-Demo", and "Halloween-Demo-Steam-Artwork + Controller Config".
Place "Half-Alive-Halloween-Demo" inside sourcemods on your C drive and make sure you have Portal installed. Then just restart Steam.
You can place the steam artwork folder wherever you'd like, heck you can throw it away if you have no need for it.
The same instructions apply to the latest Hazard Course demo, except the file names are different.
How do I do the 3rd jump in the training course? I've tried so many times but I can't seem to do it.
Run and jump off the platform, then hold crouch mid-air. This gives you just a bit more air-time.
This was amazing! I would like to note that puzzle with the moving platform and rocket turret had me tearing my hair out, just due to how easy it was to fall off and die. I had to save after every jump just to get through it. It would be nice if there were some more charging/healing stations throughout the testing course, perhaps in BTS areas if the test is intended to be deadly canonically.
I can't wait to see this polished up and finished! <3
I'll definitely keep difficulty in mind while I try to remaster/add more tests to the opening of the game. The suit chargers are very interesting in Portal, since the turrets can drain it incredibly quickly. It doesn't help the fact that the game auto-regens health, it practically renders the chargers useless! Heh
If you want to remove the automatic regeneration, and get quite a few other fixes related to combining Portal with Half-Life 2, you can use this mod as a base for yours (although it is a little sketchy, licensing-wise seeing as it includes unreleased Portal code).

Notably, this fixes the crash with using the Gravity Gun to launch props through Portals!
I had made a build of Half-Alive that ran in the Source SDK so that I could better implement Half-Life 2's mechanics, but it probably would have needed some more work to get everything working correctly. There were strange audio and visual glitches when I made that build, not to mention it required having Portal and the SDK installed in order to get the mod to work. In the end it's just simpler for me and for the end user for it to just be a Portal mod, even if I have to suffer some limitations like no combine, or regenning health.
I just realized I never posted the link. I think you should check it out. It actually works pretty well. Portal is fully playable in it, so compatibility is really good. (The link is added to my last comment now)
