Half-Life 2 - Mapbase v.6.3 - Game mod - Download

Mapbase is a n open-source mod for Half-Life 2 and other gasmes using Source 2013created by Blixibon.

Description:

Mapbase is a special mod for Source 2013 which improves the engine and entities to be more capable and stable for mapping and other kinds of modding. It's designed to be used as a "modding platform" for level designers and modders, meaning mappers would create their maps based off of this mod and larger mods with their own unique changes would draw from Mapbase's code and assets.

Mapbase's original goal is to make mapping easier and more flexible for HL2 level designers without changing too much of the game itself. Mapbase includes 50+ new entities (not counting filters or engine ports), hundreds of new I/O/KV (Inputs/Outputs/Keyvalues), a custom implementation of VScript, custom shaders with radial fog, countless fixes, and enhanced FGDs all in one single package.

Mapbase is NOT an improved version of Hammer. Mapbase is a mod for Source 2013 itself and maps using it must be played in Mapbase or a mod running its code in order to function correctly.

Description

"Installing" Mapbase is basically just like any other Source mod, except there's three folders instead of one. To install Mapbase, follow these instructions:

- Install Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer and set the branch to -upcoming if you haven’t already.

- Extract mapbase_episodic, mapbase_hl2, and mapbase_shared from the .zip archive downloaded earlier to your “SteamApps/sourcemods” directory.

- Restart Steam.

You should now have “Mapbase - Episodic” and “Mapbase - HL2” in your Steam library. If not, make sure you're using the same drive Steam is installed on and ensure that you extracted the folders correctly. (e.g. "SteamApps/sourcemods/mapbase_shared")

If you have followed all instructions correctly, Mapbase should be fully playable at this point. mapbase_episodic is for the HL2 episodes, mapbase_hl2 is for the original HL2, and mapbase_shared just contains miscellaneous content not unique to Half-Life 2.

Using Mapbase in Hammer is a bit more complicated and steps for that can be found here:
