Hello everyone, I should have been uploading the finished mod right now. Sadly I'm uploading the demo and I wont be working on the mod anymore. You can play the demo from the Vault.
Known critical bugs
*Intro movie sometimes gets stuck
*Music at the last map sometimes does not play.
*The 3rd map of the intro sometimes gets stuck (quick save and quick load to fix it)
Special thanks to, Daubster, Tycell and Unbreakable for all of their support.
And of course thanks to, members of TWHL for all of their help.
See the readme file for a full list of credits.
Enjoy.

Unbreakable, i say you reinstall hl or atlest try it. its worth it. the intro itself is worth 5 stars, not talking about the rest of the mod

Hmmm...theres a lot of issues with the first few maps (intro and gman) Both seem to stop at the end and nothing happens like you said. After I tried to skip to the 3rd map I got a missing frame error for an animated texture and the game crashed.

I really like this mod ! It's ..... totally MODified 
And the weapons are unique and I really like them too .
Oh and it's really hard to guess how to advance through the level sometimes .
I only noticed this picture is actualy a clue after tens of minutes . Then I saw the barrel at the top of the crane .
Very interesting !

ofc I remembered you Unbreakable.
Thanks everyone, to skip the intro movie simply write "map xenmp" into the console or "map xenmp2". I will check the intro maps again and see if I can fix those bugs you guys mentioned.
@The_(c)Striker: Yes, puzzles can be very hard sometimes, ask away in here if you get stuck anywhere and I will try to help.
@The Hunter: Too busy to continue these days

the change level from the xen spot where gman talks to you doesnt even get triggeredWeird, it works for me? Does anyone has the same thing? Quick save and quick load to fix it.
note: If anyone has opposing force installed copy pak0 from gearbox folder to Xen_Assault folder. It should fix some of the bugs that may occur.

p1v1 is the first playable map.xenmp2 is the first playable map. But you cant play it by typing "map xenmp2" (sorry, my bad)
It has to be triggered by a level_change from xenmp.
yes. but i got stuck before the first playable map. duh?After you enter the portal (gman speaking). Look around you after the map change and follow the light carefully.

you really didn't test on Hard mode, did you?lol ^^
Actually, I knew that players would waste their ammo on zombies. But they should not. They are slow and player must be stationary for zombies to attack him. So they werent really a challenge. Usually players ignore zombies, (like I do but things start to be more fun if you have a crowbar)
sk_zombie_soldier_health1 "180"As you proceed to final stages, you will notice blue zombies, which are tougher and stronger. (Headcrabed possessed humans)
sk_zombie_soldier_health2 "240"
sk_zombie_soldier_health3 "300"
sk_zombie_soldier_dmg_both_slash1 "25"
sk_zombie_soldier_dmg_both_slash2 "40"
sk_zombie_soldier_dmg_both_slash3 "60"
dmg_both_slash1 "100"I tested the hard mode but got stuck at the pit_drone infested tunnels. I always play on hard mode. I tought you people already noticed that
dmg_both_slash2 "200"
dmg_both_slash3 "200"
My maps are always hard to beat
Btw people please don't be shy, review! I already know that mapping in the first chapters are horrible and made of narrow corridors. So you guys can be harsh
note:
Another possible bug
If you quick save and quick load often in a map. It's possible that the game may crash. I don't know how to fix it. So, you have to open the game and quick load again.
And people, please do not cheat. If you find the game very hard. Just play it on easy mode or try shooting every NPC in the head. (x3 damage if it's a headshot)

I assume that shooting zombies in the head is not really a challenge.
edit: Oh, I can see it now. It's possible to finish that map without loss of hp. You can still beat the map with 23hp. Stay behind the obstacles. It's all about timing. Trust me.
Are you kidding me? With only 23 HP?Ehm, what? I cant see the image.

Usually players ignore zombies, (like I do but things start to be more fun if you have a crowbar)You don't need to fight the zombies and bore yourself to death. Like I mentioned above, players usually and should ignore them.

Yeah? And then what? There's this... security card or something there, but the keylock has numeric buttons, and there are no numbers on that card, so wtf? Also, some letters are marked, so i thought converting them to numbers (a=1, b=2, c=3 etc) should get the door open, but no.

It's a 4 digit code. Use the letters to form the 4 numbers that unlocks the door.(It's like one of those drawings in colouring books. Where you form an image by drawing over some dots.) Then enter the code.

You know, I can't resist your charm even if you are gay Freshed
Now play the mod!
I noclipped. I knew the puzzle and keypad were related. I just cut out the thinking part.Damn cheats
I was also going to surround the trigger_change_level with a trigger_load for people trying to get pass the level by noclipping. So they wouldnt be able to get pass the level even if they cheated. But thought that would be a bit too harsh.But please ask like Muzz did before cheating.
Shit man, it really is the hardest mod i've ever played. Seriously.You are right, I should have made that code for an optional passage to next level. But I'm just too evil to do that.

I'm getting some errors when I try to start the mod. Something like couldn't load library .dll or something like that.
I have a pretty good idea of what the problem is though, so when I get home from school I'll play it and get a review to you.

But thought that would be a bit too harsh.Nah, if i get time at the end, I always put some sort of anti-cheat method into my maps. Although a determined wimp loser cheater will find a way.

I noclipped too. That security card didn't made any sense to me.
After the keylock door, i turned noclip off and moved on normally.

And I'm terribly sorry the code on keycard actually shows 7512 and the code on the door is 9572. It's a texture error, I forgot to replace the texture on the keycard...Fuck! Even though, someone might think that the 7 could be a 9 and 1 could be 7. (lol)

Even though the mod freaking tough, i like it.
That lab area was probably my favorite part, architecture wise. Great detail work there, Sajo. Its win.
I have'nt completed it yet though.

and i found a terrible bug. you know the map that didnt load before? well that happened again. so i saved the game, reloaded to that spot and loads of stuff showed around me, including the gman. i dont understand whats the problem, but when i first entered the map there were almost nothing in it. now i load it and voala, i see tons of stuff in it.
edit: hey i might of gotten stuck in the cocoon somehow.

There is no way to fix it. After 2 intro maps, all entities do not show up in xenmp. It only shows up if you quick save and quick load. Or you can just type "map xenmp".

well they dont show up and nither does level change work. i say you should fix it, because that is very unusal of the engine to do so... maybe remake the whole map. theres not much to it really... you could also try making the cocoon bigger

I can send the .rmf and you can see it yourself. There is nothing wrong with the map and I have no idea why it does it sometimes. It must be because of a code written by Gearbox.

Im stuck again.
What am i supposed to do with that car on the elevator? I turned the generator on, and used the elevator lever in the control room, but the elevator doesn't move. Neither does the car, i can only break it, but that triggers a message saying "You need that car" and the game automatically loads the last saved game.
