AT 30,000 FEET... you are almost 6 miles (9.7 km's) above sea level. The human body is not made for these conditions. Temperatures can plummet to -60F (-51C), the brain is starved for oxygen and each step is a new experience in pure agony. It's difficult to breathe. It's difficult to think. It's difficult to move. And you still have to endure another 444 feet (0.14 km's) to get to the peak. So much for the good news.
STORYLINE: SURVIVE the SUMMIT ...The rebels are losing the battle against the strider onslaught that keeps growing. To help turn the tide of war you need to destroy the source of the Striders. That source is at the summit of what the rebels call, StriderMountain. There is only one way to get into the mountain geography and it's extremely dangerous terrain. The danger proves to be too much and you are forced way off target. Now, you must fight your way through the Combine Mountain Base Camp because it's the only entry to the mountain. As Gordon Freeman, you must survive the summit and destroy the source of the Striders.

This is a FIX for the HAVING NO WHEELS BUG.
FIX;
-Install the mod Strider_Mountain_V3 as usual, (install in Sourcemods folder).
-then DELETE the entire vehicle folder.
(Strider_Mountain_V3\Strider_Mountain_Rev2\scripts\vehicles)
-install now the mods latest patch StriderMountain_Fix_11_05_15
(DON'T delete this vehicle folder !!!!!)
(when you have the mod already installed you don't need to re-install, just delete the vehicle folder and install the patch "StriderMountain_Fix_11_05_15" again, or look below which files need to be deleted. But it is probably easier to just delete the folder and install Fix 11-05-15 again.)
NOW YOU ARE GOOD TO PLAY THE MOD AND HAVE ALL VEHICLES WITH WHEELS AGAIN!
IN THE VEHICLE FOLDER ARE MANY OTHER FILES TO, LIKE FOR INSTANCE FOR THE CRANE,
BUT ALL STILL WORKS WELL AFTER DELETING THE FILES IN THE VEHICLE FOLDER.
here is a list from all files that are in these vehicle folders;
Strider_Mountain_V3\Strider_Mountain_Rev2\scripts\vehicles (this one needs to be deleted!);
airboat.txt
apc.txt
apc_npc.txt
cannon.txt
crane.txt
digger.txt
fastdigger.txt
jeep_test.txt
jetski.txt
prisoner_pod.txt
reference_vehicle.txt
StriderMountain_Fix_11_05_15\Strider_Mountain\scripts (this one DOESN'T need to be deleted!!);
HudAnimations.txt
HudLayout.res
Because of a Valve update all old mods have this bug. It makes that the players Jeep (car)
and the combine truck (APC truck) has no wheels anymore. This
has major consequences ofcourse!
Zippys2 did tell me about this fix, many thanks to him!

I have been playing a few levels of each of my HL2 (ep2) mods and it looks to me like a lot of bugs are taking place. Probably because of yet another source update I assume. Because the mods were released without these bugs. The main one is that many enemies don't attack anymore for some odd reason.
So, I have been thinking about this for a long time and it seems I finally have to make time free of my Ion Fury modding, to re-compile all maps again with the latest source version. Hopefully, this will fix most of the bugs, if not all.

Just finished playing. It has a few minor faults here and there but over all very well done and I really enjoyed this mod. Not sure how I missed playing this one years back. I was sure I had played it but once I started I knew I hadn't.
My impressions were that a lot of work was put into "Strider Mountain"...although I was ultimately unable to finish it....
My impressions are also that it is a fairly lengthy mod.
In my opinion, "Strider Mountain" was just as 'aggravating' to play......as it was 'fun': There were certain puzzles 'right off the bat' from the very beginning, that I was unable to resolve without using a 'no-clip' cheat: For example at the very beginning of this mod, you have parachuted onto a fairly high staircase. I looked very carefully at every part of this staircase and ultimately was unable to get to the top (near the exit) was without using a 'noclip' cheat. Not much later on, there is an area in this map where there are positioned lots of exploding barrels, laser fields, and automated turret guns. Once again, I was completely unable to figure out how to get through this 'maze' without utilizing a 'noclip' cheat.
Much of the gameplay in "Strider Mountain" involves exploring levels of a specific map...then finding a lever/handle to switch or a button to press...and then 'backtracking' to every area that you have ALREADY EXPLORED to locate a door that the lever opened. This process repeats very, very often and as a result the gameplay in "Strider Mountain" is often quite aggravating. Sometimes 'cutscenes' will show which door opened as a result of a button pressed or lever/handle activated.....however, other times, you are forced to go back to every nook and cranny and find out where the portal is that opened.
Combat in this mod is for the most part 'too hard' on 'normal' level of difficulty: Combat is often exciting and very intense......but the majority of the time you are swarmed by more enemies than you can handle at once even with fully-loaded ammunition (primarily consisting of combine 'bulls'). As a result of this I found it necessary to utilize 'God' cheat on then off then on again, etc much too often.
As I was nearing the end of this mod, my progress completely stopped, and no new doors opened for me to be able to continue through this mod. I did enable a 'no-clip' cheat to access every hidden area of the map/level I was currently playing, to no avail. Ultimately, hence, I was unable to finish this fairly-well designed mod......but which mod was also, to reiterate, more 'aggravating than 'fun' to play.
I rate "Strider Mountain" a 5/10.
will this mod some day get a steam release i'm surprised a classic like this one never has. I mean if minerva can make it on steam why can't strider mountain?
Sorry for my late reply. To answer you;
A steam release has nothing to do with quality. Its all about money, as always. To upload something to Steam takes 100 dollar, Steam asks this so people don't upload spam. But, i don't want to spent 100 dollar, just to get my work on there. I already made it for free, and to even pay to get played. That is were i draw the line. Steam should change this!!!

Can't wait to play this mod
