what do i do after installing and running the mod??
You can load the example map using console or make maps using Hammer.
how do I get out of the main menu
To play a map? You will need console that you can turn on by pressing the tidle key ( ~ ) Then entering the command "Map (mapname)".
no how do i start working on on mod?
You can start here

dunno if its dead or not but i hope u can make it that u can change npc's blood xD
can you guys make it so you can change NPC sounds?
also, it won't work. I just realized that. The actual half life 2 will need to have this code, and it doesn't , so you can't save your maps for half life 2, only this mod.It is a good idea. though
multiple monitors?
