Description

Your team was assigned to a mission that was finding an alien disturbance in a base centered in North America. You snuck aboard a cargo truck and here you are it's living or dying your choice…

Additional info

Recommended players: 2-4

Playing tips:

Watch out for the little things they can be of some use.
The water is clear but the grunts have a hard time seeing through it.
Don't take anything for granted. Just because you loaded the map up and played for a minute doesn't mean you can predict everything that will happen.

GENERIC FIXES

Used the original maps as a base to ripent the .ent through import, bypassing the version mismatch errors in the maps ripented by newbspguy's current bug that the ripents of other people are having due to copy pasting brushes. Checked for errors and the maps work fine without version mismatch on servers.
Changed some env_messages to game_text
Changed env_model to item_generic
Changed monstermakers into squadmakers, with proper translated spawnflags
Fixed squadmakers without spawnflags or missing spawnflags, to have proper spawnflags
Changed info_player_start to info_player_deathmatch
Changed env_beam's negative StrikeTime value, to positive values (this could've caused crashes due to overflows)
Changed env_xenmakers that were spawning monsters, into squadmakers with proper external xenmaker entity
Replaced some of the Wayne's models that were identical to default (hwgrunt and hwgrunt_ld) with some other of the default custom hwgrunt models
Removed Wayne's missing soundlist files references in maps, and .gmr and .gsr as well
Gave many alien monsters spawned through squadmakers, a properly colored xenmaker effect
Replaced item_security and brush based item collectibles, with item_inventory
Used Wayne's ripents as a base. His guide arrows and wrong way signs have been replaced with more immersive things like lights, props, breakables with hud displaynames, enemies, etc… Except in maps that have a theme where it would be plausible to have direction signs.
Enemies with humongous amounts of health have been toned down a lot
Maps with low ammo at start have now extra weapons and ammo at spawn
game_text messages have been tweaked to be less intrusive, away from the crosshair, indicating the character name that speaks if intended, and sometimes giving them proper color that indicates ally or enemy.
Typos in game_texts and displaynames have been fixed. Usage of "\n" (new lines) in displaynames has been abolished
Fixed typos on entities making them not recognizable by the game
Fixed netnames when intended to be used as displaynames on old maps. Now you can see those npcs true names!
Regenerated .res files
Repacked with missing files into a .zip using resguy

sc_alley

Used Wayne's ripent as a base with trigger fixes, and guide arrows
Added the fixes by Reuniclus to the doors and multisources for them
Modified the guide arrows into more immersive props and effects to blend in with the environment
Greatly reduced monster spam and game counters to match, from 50 monsters to 1 monster per squadmaker (calm down! this is not a horde map)
Fixed sewer portal sprite not appearing, and its size so it doesnt clip
Added shake for the big rock that falls at the end area and disabled the trigger_hurt so it does not kill a player out of the blue
Added clips for players and npcs so they dont fly away to the next area or cheat their way over the walls
Fixed scale 100 on gibshooters
