We, Dev.Muffin hereby present you the latest 'unofficial' update to SMOD40aq that hopefully become the future of SMOD.SMOD Standalone is a 'updated' version of SMOD client that takes advantages of some Orangebox engine features like LAA flag; it also fixes LUA and introduces a new file structure allowing for smaller 3-rd party SMOD mods.If you're into SMOD we recommend you to try it out, because this 'update' is not made mainly for SMOD devs, but also users that love SMOD but are unable to play it due to Steam and Half-Life 2 updates.Full Article. There are additional maps in the chapter selection, but I can't seem to play them. Console shows something along the lines of 'Invalid.mapnotfound'. I'm using smod redux version 10.do i need to manually download these extra maps?
I looked in the addons files on the modDB page but saw nothing regarding mapsEDIT: was scrolling through comments and saw some of the maps require hl2dm. I installed hl2dm, restarted steam.
Half-Life 2: Weapons Mod The goal of Team Head-Crabs is to successfully modify weapons in Half-Life 2. This is a learning experience for our members. Our hope is to expand our skill sets. More info soon. Tuesday, December 17, 2013. Custom Textures.
Maps still dont work, console still says map is missing even though i had played it moments ago in hl2dm just to check, not sure what is causing this +1 vote. It would be great if there was a setting for a gameplay-only version - one where the AI and combat changes are there, but all others are off. Because they're all. All animations, most sounds, and effects are., the default animations are changed to accommodate the ironsight feature, for example on the smg, and since the animators are., it's now worse. The great explosion sound is ruined, the new one loses volume over distance waay too fast, so an explosion 30 ft away sounds like its 200ft away, but without the echo.

The wonderful sound of launching smg grenades is ruined, replaced by. Most of the new weapons are impossibly painful to use, due to being. The motion blur is absurd, and is.; at least you can turn every feature on or off.
Can we talk about Dr. Kleiner from and what a huge failure he is as a science person? Sure, the guy cobbled together a teleporter in his garage, but when Gordon Freeman shows up after being gone for ten years, what does Kleiner have waiting for him? The same old clunky outdated HEV suit Gordon wore back in Black Mesa. You'd think that as the leading bald science man on earth, he may have added some upgrades in a decade's time, something along the lines of the nanosuit from the Crysis series. Alas, no: he left that to the modders of.Crylife, created by the two-person Dev.Muffin modding team, is actually a mod for SMOD, which is a mod for Half-Life 2. If you're not familiar with SMOD, it's been around for almost a decade and still gets updated and patched every so often.
Essentially, it adds new weapons, new enemies, bullet time, and extra gore, making Half-Life 2 crazier, more violent, and more X-TREME. It helps to picture Valve developers sitting around a table in 2004, putting the finishing touches on Half-Life 2, and suddenly Jerry Bruckheimer kicks open the door and shouts “I'm here to help, and my contribution is this GIANT BAG OF COCAINE!” That's SMOD.So, you've got SMOD for Half-Life 2, and now Crylife for SMOD, meaning you've got all the extra frentic action of SMOD plus the nanosuit from Crysis. Let's go over the suit's powers, by saying them in a super deep, somewhat creepy voice ( ) with an English accent:MAXIMUM SPEEDWhere Half-Life 2's sprint was really more of a trot, Crylife's speed will have you zipping all over the map, which is useful if you want to run up and punch an enemy soldier, which is something you want to do.
Did I mention there is punching in Crylife? There is punching in Crylife, by holding down the V key, letting you smash wooden obstacles and crates and faces without having to cycle your weapon over to the crowbar, which you no longer have.
Punching is fun, though it's much more effective when using:MAXIMUM STRENGTHIt's not just for Tylenol anymore! Now you can punch things (see above), and the things break or go flying. Also, you can jump, while sprinting, which will give you a nice big leap. You know how sometimes you have to jump onto crates to get over walls and fences, or use ladders, or muck around solving see-saw puzzles by stacking cinder blocks on a board? Now, the environment is conquered by your nanobot-infused super-thighs.Which takes us to:MAXIMUM AHH-MUHArmor, well, it lets you get shot a lot more without dying, which is useful because with SMOD's extra enemies and their extra bullets, you will be getting shot extra times. Also, some of the enemies have their own nanosuits, just like they did in Crysis.
You'll definitely need armor you protect yourself against them. Even with AHH-MUH (set to MAXIMUM), I die a lot in this mod.Finally:CLOAK. ENGAGEDCloak is fun, because you can walk right up to enemies without them seeing you. As in Crysis, you can't really do anything violent while remaining cloaked, so it turns into a fun game of, “Can I quickly switch to MAXIMUM AHH-MUH and then carefully insert bullets into everyone before they react?” The answer is yes, usually.There are weapons, new ones, in Crylife, and with SMOD's iron sights they're all MAXIMUM FUN to use.
Plus, each gun has two slots for attachments that you'll find while you're sprinting, jumping, cloaking, punching, and AHH-MUH-ing around City 17. The pistol can be fitted with a silencer, or turned into dual-wielded pistols for the whole John Woo experience. The machine guns can be fitted with different kind of scopes and silencers as well.The mod is still in beta, but Dev.Muffin has been patching things quickly.

I played it earlier this week and noticed some textures missing and a few other minor problems, but when I went back to the download page the next day, they'd already released a new version fixing the issues I'd spotted. There's also a few extra maps and gamemodes you can access from the 'New Game' menu: just scroll past the Half-Life 2 chapters and you'll see them.Installation: Not much entanglement here. You'll need to have installed (and have run at least once) Half-Life 2, HL2 Deathmatch, and Counter-Strike: Source. (it's a hefty one which includes all the SMOD stuff). Open your 'sourcemods' folder, which is in your 'steamapps' folder which is in your 'Steam' folder. Extract the 'Crylife' folder into the 'sourcemods' folder. Restart Steam, and you'll see SMOD: Crylife appear in your games library!
