Yeah, I dug into YouTube as well to see if there are some obscure mods in there but I couldn't find much minus the 2-3 mods listed in my very first posts that have broken download links..

Also, one thing I'm wondering is that there's this addon here (https://www.moddb.com/mods/kiwi-run/downloads/door-red) that I would like to play and preserve but my antivirus spotted a virus in the archive. Thing is I'm not sure if it's really a virus or a false positive.. Hmm..

Nice, Marathon: Rampancy is definitely missing in my collection, plus I'm not sure if I do have CSM Mapping Contest 2011 (If you can tell me the name of the .bsp files that would be great to see if I do have them or not, or if you could upload the mod itself that would be even better!). If you wanna upload them somewhere that would be amazing. The other mods you've mentioned are preserved in my collection as well.

Thanks.

EDIT: Managed to find "Marathon: Rampancy" in an old YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIUIsJ_ER-E
Luckily the Mediafire download link is still working.

EDIT 2: Regarding the CSM Mapping Contest 2011, is it by any chance this contest here?
https://cs-mapping.com.ua/threads/single-mapping-contest.28357/

Yeah, I've played and completed a few thousands of Half-Life mods and even the very old ones were working (Some required to swap .dlls to work properly and some were crashing out of the blue, luckily I've personally fixed the ones I was able to fix but 95% of the mods do work fine with the Steam version of Half-Life).

Of course if you still do have these lost mods feel free to post them somewhere, even if the mod isn't brilliant or good, still worth collecting

Damn, that's sad to hear. I made a similar list several months ago and posted it on the TWHL's Discord server but it wasn't 100% complete and it didn't have the bits of info that I included in this one. Luckily, all of the rare mods that I could find and recover are secured in a dedicated hard disk. I hope to see at least one or two mods from the list recovered as well

Yeah, most of the mods listed in the first/second post are probably low-medium quality but I still would love to have/play them for archival purpose, even if they are really bad or bugged. Just to say, I've played all of the ~20 Mr. Kraps maps from lambda-force that are basically one big room with some random enemies and items across the map with some little changes here and there.

EDIT 1:

Also @23-down, if you are a collector as well, you might be interested in my massive list of mods I've documented and downloaded:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V8Cjc40P9w1Jn-cbekbmzncLZgDiQbro

EDIT 2: Was quite interested to see what was the size of my main "mods" folder, turns out it's over +99 gigabytes

Yeah, I'm afraid most of them are lost forever, unless somebody archived them (Which I highly doubt so, but never say never). I have gone thru the entire (Half-Life & Opposing Force) map vault last year and noted those that have a missing / broken download link as well, all of them are listed here. As for the Mrpo's maps (Or any other map/mod you have from the list) if you can upload them somewhere I'd greatly appreciate that. ☺

Hey there folks! I've been collecting Half-Life mods for years and I've (As expected) came across a bunch of mods that either don't have a working download link anymore or are not findable anywhere. I'm posting the full list here with all the info I could find for each missing mod. If you've got in hand one (Or more) of these mods, don't hesitate to let me know!
Thanks.
