HL:DM Maps - Do the Remakes "Work" in HL2:DM ?
Good question. Who are the remakes made for ? The HL old timers or the HL2 fan who may not have even played HLDM ?
Do the remakes capture the fun of the originals?

With this in mind, a new mapcycle is up on the SunLit HL:DM server
Shotgun Madness 69.56.242.81:27015

lost_village * cabrito ancient* stalkyard * frenzy * killbox* 5_5castleV3 *

Tig_Qui bounce * darn gasworks * Gonad crossfire * Torque*

The maps will fast auto-download from the server
Refresh your memory of the old favourites * or if you are new to HL:DM, jump in the game and see where the HL2:DM mappers got their inspiration.
If you have never played HL:DM and already play HL2, installation is free and easy. Read below for the the simple instructions.

Open the Steam Menu --> Play Games --> Double Click on the Half-Life icon and it will install the game for you.



Visit the HL:DM Map Downloads page to install the maps in the map cycle or download directly from the news article.

Unzip the files to

C:>Program Files>Steam>SteamApps>{your e-mail}>Half-Life>valve



When you log on to the server, remember to select your player's skin from

Options --> Multiplayer --> Select skin ---> Apply

No generic Combine and Rebel skin colours here ;) More custom skins can be found in the SunLit Games Skin Library.



The server will be running Laz's HL mod but the shotgun spawn is disabled for the sake of weapon and gameplay comparison.
