Amphibian Mods is a collection of working download links to quality single player maps and mods for many different first person shooter games, including Half Life and Half Life 2. The site includes instructions for running all maps and mods from the command line.
Projects
Coming soon!
Wishlist for HL2 Single Player Mapping
- Allow HL2 single player, both in the game and in Hammer, to mount multiple GCFs, for example, the CS:S and HL2 GCFs. This should be doable with the Gameinfo.txt but at present it does not work. This is important as it will allow mappers to make use of resources in both locations without extracting or redistributing content. The only way to achieve this at present is to use a modified client and server dll, which is a poor workaround for something which should not be a problem in the first place. See Mod_Content_Usage for more on this issue.
- Enable friendly fire. I've noticed that the Combine can accidentally shoot one another but the rebels never do. I know this can be done with mods but it would be nice to have in game.
- enable the Func_fish_pool. I want fish that swim around, not just murderous leeches!
- enable Bullet_Penetration_in_Counter-Strike:_Source. Who doesn't want to "wall" a combine? The bullet decals appear on the other side of the wall as if this was happening, but no damage occurs. I realise that this could be a problem for scenarios such as the end of Lost Coast (and the end of Episode 1 for that matter), but it would be a nice feature.
- enable the Detail_Props#Detail_Shapes in single player.
- fix the HDR warning for the skybox when you compile a map. Every map I compile, including the SDK examples, contains these warnings:
Creating default cubemaps for env_cubemap using skybox materials: skybox/sky_day01_01*.vmt Run buildcubemaps in the engine to get the correct cube maps. No such variable "$hdrbasetexture" for material "skybox/sky_day01_01rt" Can't load skybox file skybox/sky_day01_01 to build the default cubemap!
- This happens because the tools seem to expect you to be undertaking HDR_Skybox_Creation, even though it should be perfectly possible to map without the use of HDR.
