Science & Industry 0.97b Half-Life Mod Release

Posted by michael on from the industrious dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Science & Industry, a teamplay mod for Half-Life, has been updated. S&I is one of the oldest Half-Life mods: it was there at the first Valve mod expo back in 1999, but it hadn't been updated since 2001! A new version is finally being released today. Science and Industry is a mod in which players assume the role of Security Officers in one of two rival corporations striving for domination in the cutthroat world of chemical and weapons research and development. Learn more about the mod on its website. This new version works for both WON and Steam versions of Half-Life. For a full list of changes, either check the Science & Industry website, or this detailed forum thread."

    ANother HL mod, SvenOps 3.0, was released today. It is a multiplayer teamplay mod.

    Finally, Natural Selection HL mod 3.0 is also due today or this week.

    That's three HL mods for the holidays!

    This is pretty cool, considering that I was a die-hard fan of the mod. I don't know what was so charming about it... it might have been the sound that played when you hit a scientist. It might even have been the community; nobody every played it and so all the Blueyonder servers had the same people on all the time. If you've never played it, download it now. I wonder/hope they will be porting this to Half-Life 2 when it comes out!

      Saying Java is nice because it works on all OS's is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders.

    Two new (and apparently a third) new HL mod releases.

    Nice.

    DoD 1.1 should be coming soon. Now if only there was a WON version of CS I could play so I don't have to go through crappy Steam....

    If you don't want to read about games, uncheck the games category in your preferences. That way you won't see any gaming articles!

    You can run the original with WINE (not wineX) just fine, but the anti-cheat will say you're cheating. I don't know if Steam (the new frontend thingy) will work or not. Just play single player or join servers that aren't running anti-cheat and you're set. Linux Games has a hosted site or something on the toolbar to the left that has detailed intructions that are updated fairly regularly for playing Half-Life with WINE.

  8. Babylon 5 game out also by AIX-Hood · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since we're talking about games on a slow news day, there's also a Babylon 5 game which a lot of people are downloading. It seems to have been done by a Russian guy who is ending the project and is putting out what he's got. Link and info are here: http://www.aixgaming.com/filerush/download.php?tar get=ifhsetup.exe
