SMOD
SMOD is a Japanese mod which replays the original HL2 storyline but with new enemies, weapons and abilities. SMOD features hundreds of user configurable variables and allows each player to tune his experience to his own tastes. Using the resources below, players of SMOD are encouraged to learn the function of each variable and how this affects gameplay, and to make their own tailored experience. SMOD can be everything from a "lol gibfest" to a highly refined realism mod. The choice is yours.
DOWNLOAD
SMOD Download the highest numbered version and the most recent patch if available. Install the main version to your Sourcemods first, then extract any patches over the top of existing files.

Running maps in SMOD

To run a map in SMOD, use the following command line, replacing "dm_underpass" with the name of any map you wish to run, and "skill 3" with your preferred skill, as above. It is not necessary to copy the map from the original installation directory. Using the following addcontents.txt file with the correct edits (see enclosed readme) will allow you to run maps from any directory. With one installation you can run maps from regular HL2, HL2DM, CS:S and from SMOD.

You can also play maps from other mods from within SMOD. This is done by mounting the resources for those mods using the addcontents.txt file, as described in the download below. The mod can then be started using the console or the command line below, substituting dm_underpass for the first map in the mod.

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 220 -game "c:\program files\steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\smod" +map dm_underpass +skill 3

You will need to download the maps below and install them to your the relevant directory (i.e. ..hl2mp\maps) , then use the addcontents.txt file to enable access. It is not necessaryto install maps to your SMOD maps folder. The required mapadds are already present in any recent SMOD installation. To play the maps, make a shortcut as described above.

Mapadd Generator
