There is an elevator that only has a button inside. So if you somehow

Also sometimes feeding on enemies continues after you have left them,

one teleporter works longline and there are two small texture errors.

Prefabs used : This mod is the result of using Spirit of Half-Life

and QuArK with already compiled bsps to produce the

effect of playing from an alien point of view. Thus

thanks again must go to Valve and Radioactive Soft-

ware for their great maps, therefore the credits of

the latter team are included unchanged. Also I have

to thank Laurie Cheers for feedback, extra fixes in

Spirit of Half-Life and for betatesting the mod :)!

------Map Instructions

Install by extracting this archive with use folder names checked into

your Half-Life directory. It may only work with HL 1.1.1.0 or higher.

Start Half-Life, select "Custom Game" and activate "Xen-Warrior" then

start a new game. Or select "Xen Course" for a simple training first.

Alternatively you can start "Xen-Warrior" by using the included batch

file, but check that the Half-Life path is according to your setting.

------Additional Info

HINTS:

Most of these hints are also provided during the Xen Course training:

Gain health and rebuild armor by feeding on enemies. Weapon slot 1 is

a strong close range attack, weapon slot 4 the usual hornetgun. While

using it, only close contact to the target or secondary fire mode can

destroy and move objects. Normal Xen animals are still hostile as are

angry allies. Do you remember where you saw the last level before ;)?

Xen lifeforms show a red aura, Earth lifeforms a green one, others...
