Which half-life sp mods have you played? And which are your favorites?

This is my list:

    Half-Life
    Half-Life Uplink
    Opposing Force
    Blue-Shift
    They Hunger 1-2-3
    The Challenger Deep
    USS Darkstar
    Case Closed
    Conundrum 1-2
    Todesangst 1-2
    Heart of Evil
    Unknown


The last one was a small file made by some Italian - I think I downloaded it from the Italian site. Don't remember the name.

I got all these mods from http://www.planethalflife.com/commu...osted/mods.shtm

I didn't make a poll cos there might be more than 16 sps.

My favorites are:
    They Hunger 1-2-3
    Half-Life
    Opposing Force
    Case Closed
    The Challenger Deep


Didn't like USS Darkstar much and the endings of Todesangst 1-2 are too difficult.

Yes, I know Half-Life isn't a mod.

Status:

Had to restore my HD and out went half-life. Like so many times before... Win 98

So.... I won't bother reinstalling half-life, getting the upgrades from the net and then even installing blue-shift to get the better graphics.

Conclusion:

I won't finish the Conondrum 2 game I was in the middle of... I had come as far as the #'ed boulders. Second... I'm sure poke646 is fun, but since I won't bother reinstalling half-life I won't bother with poke646

My list stands.

Next game is GTAiii.

Tried to install half-life, but it won't search the internet for updates because it claims I am not connected to the internet. FALSE! I am connected.

I am using a ADSL connection (broadband). Before I used ISDN. I think the setup (update) software searches for modem or ISDN connections only. I think I've seen this BS before.

So what do I do to surpass this?

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I played a lot of those a couple years ago... Just a few of the ones I remember liking (some of them are simply single-player maps, some real mods):

- Timeline 1 and 2 (The Nazi US flag still haunts me in my dreams)
- They Hunger 1 (I don't think I ever played 3, and 2 was irritating by the end because of the fire alarm (and not as fun as 1 anyway)
- USS Darkstar (just plain quality from Neil Manke, and as (I think) Morgan said at TenFour, contains the Best Moment in any computer game ever, or at least in any HL SP map ever)
- Mission of Mercy (gave a very nice impression of playing on the aliens' side)
- Two Smoking Barrels (humorous, IIRC)
- Xeno Project 1 and 2 (nice backstory, pretty good architecture esp. in the beginning of 2)
- Peaces Like Us (a very bizarre map from some Japanese guy. Watch out for the alternate universe part)
- Opposing Force
- Chemical Existence (a slightly buggy and sometimes ugly but fun total conversion. Excellent weapons.)
- Conundrum 2 (I liked this one a lot more than the original Conundrum, especially for the rather bizarre levels towards endgame)
- Deliverance (needs some patience. I only ever played through one of the endings (there are two, I took the positive one) but that one had perhaps the most rewarding ending sequence I've ever seen)
- Uplink (Valve's demo of Half-life. I enjoyed playing it especially because I had been checking out HL's data files and wondered what some sound files were doing there - they were a part of Uplink)
- Rum (Okay, j/k... never played it)
- The Long Night (a rather plain and normal map, IIRC, but since I just felt the need to mention it, so I guess I did like it)
- Twisted Hazard Course (short, rather funny)

Where did you get those Ari? I haven't seen those on planethalflife.com. What is "Rum"?

Can you help with my post before yours?

Hmm... I don't know. First thing that springs into my mind is that you still have that ISDN connection defined as a network interface and Half-life assumes that that's what it should use. Or perhaps there's some obscure registry value somewhere that shouldn't be there. If I were you, I'd first check the Internet connection setup and remove everything irrelevant from there and, if that doesn't work (even after a reboot) go to ask for help from Asher .

As for where I got those maps... I used to be a regular quest of 3dmr ( http://3dmr.gamedesign.net ) utntil it became inactive. The reviews are still up, although it seems that the download links are broken. After 3dmr's time I found my maps at Ten Four, but that site seems to have gone down completely - even the domain www.tenfourmaps.com has been squatted. The easiest way to find the maps I mentioned would probably be just giving some of those names to Google.

Rum is a map that is legendary among the members of the HL SP map/mod community for being one of the worst, if not the worst, HL maps ever submitted to public review. I guess it can't beat ThisMapIsGoodFun, though...

Full PM-box? Change here!

My net connection is clean. No ISDN connection defined.

I solved the problem though by downloading the latest Half-Life version 1110 from halflifeplanet.

So all is good. I guess I can play now because it's dark outside. It's a must or else it's difficult to see the details on the screen properly.

Seems like you have played almost as many sp mods as me...

Just installed Swiss Cheese halloween. Tried it in daylight and was bored. I need to download the patch and the walkthrough.

Maybe my Half-Life phase is over, but I should finnish Conondrum 2 because I played just a part of it before I took a break. Nice to Finnish things. No pun intended And then I formatted my HD to get back to FAT32 from NTFS which I was informed was unecessary. Maybe I didn't need to format the HD to do this, but it worked, and now I miss my favorites

After I finnish Conondrum 2 I might quit Half-Life and delete it if I need the space.

If you still play the game get Blueshift. There is a programme there that improves the graphics in Half-Life.

Have a nice half-life
