The error I got was “This game is currently unavailable. Then I tried starting awakenings from my games list (it shows up as a third party mod, and you can “launch game”). It said that if I didn’t have the Source SDK Base installed, Steam would automatically install it when I restarted.

I’ve been meaning to check out single player mods for Half Life 2 eventually, so I thought, why not start with this one?īefore I get to my troubles with getting the mod to work, I also thought this would be a great thread to find out if anyone here at QuarterToThree has any other single player mods they recommend. I noticed on Bluesnews a couple of days ago that a new mod came out for Half Life 2 called Awakenings. Portal Maps - site with a bunch of fan-made maps. RenTest - probably the best downloadable Portal maps right now. (Variation of SMOD featuring realistic weapons) Research and Development (HL2: Ep2 is required for this mod) Radiator Short Story mods (requires HL2: Episode 2) Post Script (Exploration mod, requires HL2: Episode 2)

Minerva: Metastasis (Now Complete! Half Life 2: Episode 1 is required for this mod) Korsakovia (“mixes the abstract story-driven experience of Dear Esther with more traditional gameplay”)

Iris (Concept Prototype for adventure game) Half Life 2: Substance Gold (Combining HL2 and Metal Gear Solid characters) EDIT: Here are the mod recommendations so far:Ĭinematic Mod (Final version 10 RC released) - Facelift for HL2, Ep1 and Ep2
