Step 1.
Get the source SDK base 2007, it is your Steam library under tools.

Step 2.
Get this ♥♥♥♥ and extract it to your sourcemods (Steam\steamapps\sourcemods) folder:

Step 3.
Get a bunch of really sexy ♥♥♥♥ that newguy put together; Only thing I made was the mag model (not the HD skin pulled over it), and it also has a bunch of custom sounds I made sexier in Audacity and made compatible on all new source engine versions.

Also extract this to sourcemods; you can also use it in any hl2 source game, but then u'd have to extract it someplace else then copy:/:pasta the contents to a hl2mp, ep2, etc.
Makes the games 1000x aesthetically better. Big time.
The hand models are BM:S's with a new cubemap I threw on that makes it look all DirecX11-like.

Step 4.
????????????????????????????????

Step 5.
If you don't have 7zip or winrar, get 7zip @ www.7zip.org ; it is free and better than winrar.
Also, be sure to restart steam before trying to launch the mod after extracting it to sourcemods.

Step 6.
Profit.



Be advised: although this combo is by far the best version of hl2dm, it is still hl2dm.

Bad game is Bad.

There's a way around that. For the love of peace, read the installation instructions. More precisely:

Vista/7 users, you delete the maps folder in OB, then you press Win+R, type in cmd, press enter, type in mklink /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\hl2mpob\maps" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\<steam username>\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\maps", press enter, and you're DONE.

XP users, first install the Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tools (tiny download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd), then delete the maps folder in OB, then press Win+R, type in cmd, press enter, type in linkd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\hl2mpob\maps" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\<steam username>\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\maps", press enter, and you're DONE.

Yes, the command line supports copy+paste. Right click on the titlebar for options. Obviously, replace <steam username> above with your actual steam username.

The result is that the OB maps folder and the HL2DM maps folder become one.

I don't expect this thread to fill up too quickly but... if you find a bug in the game, or an improvement that you think crucial, please post a comment about it in response to this announcement.

Here's mine: SLAMs seem to crash servers.

Find hl2mpob.rar (or zip) under the following 2 mirrors:

Unzip to Steam/steamapps/SourceMods. That's it.

Don't want to have 2 map folders and 2 cfg folders? Why would you? It's both inconvenient and a waste of space! Learn about symlinks:
