The new gun animations and iron sights are great.

Some of that looked like it was a real improvement, but I was thrilled to see that in the video settings one could turn off the bloom. I have learned to really hate bloom in games, and in this trailer it's really distracting.

Thanks for sharing. I had been playing something called Half-Life 2 Update that seemed pretty nice and did some things with lighting and depth of field as well as other bug fixes. Haven't played in awhile so I'd be interested in this as this looks more in depth. Its amazing how small a download it is too going by what's being advertised.

No problem Coot. I figured HL2 is a game alot of people revisit time to time. Yeah, only 234 mb. I like what I see so far. I never played Eps 1 and 2 I look forward to playing them with iron sights.

It really stinks that Episode 3 was never made. Valve never really gave a full explanation as to why it was dropped.

The mod shows up in your Steam game library, as a standalone game. It shows up as "Half Life 2 :MMod"

I couldn't get it working at first but figured it out eventually so here's a tip if you run into the same problem as me.

The HOW TO INSTALL.txt says "Put HL2MMod folder into SourceMods folder"
The problem I had was in the zip file is a folder called HL2MMod, but inside that is another folder also called HL2MMod.
Its the second one you want to put in the SourceMods folder not the first one duh

Mark, perhaps that is what happened to me because I did everything required, still no joy.

OK, I'm off to try and get this thing working. Stay tuned. Hope a couple of run-throughs haven't hurt anything...

How to switch games in Half-Life 2 MMod.



First of all HL2MMod runs off Half-Life 2 Update ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/290930/HalfLife_2_Update/ ), make sure you have it installed if you want to play Half-Life 2 campaign.

Make sure you have ALL 3 games ( HL2, EP1, EP2 ) installed, as well as HL2 Update. Also make sure they're on the same hard drive as your sourcemods folder.

To switch games you simply need to copy selected game files out of Switch Games folder into Half-Life 2 MMod's folder ( HL2MMod ), replace all asked files, restart steam ( ! ) and you're ready to go.

Have fun!

Thanks for all the help but I think I have messed things up beyond fixing by now.

Anyway, I have all the required files/games and the update, but I think all the messing around with 'source mods folder' has fudged things up.

I'll try to straighten things out...Watch this spac...
