Description

Storyline:
Time of transmission : Lambda incident + 4 Hours
It appears the happens elsewhere in the Black Mesa facility have led to massive structural damage in this area. The number of fatalities is rumoured to be 400 at the last count. It is vital you do everything in your power to escape from this area alive, as we need all the manpower we can get to try and hold off the mass of xen life forms present in the upper lab areas.

You will need to make use of all available resources in this area, you are currently armed with pipe wrenches, Shotguns and a small sidearm in the form of a glock. Various supplies including health kits and shotgun shells will be found around the bodies of employees who have not been as fortunate as you.

Be prepared for encounters with many xen creatures. They now appear to be teleporting into the Black Mesa Facility at an astounding rate, and they now appear to be fighting in squads. Also there may be some of the highly trained and equally deadly Black Operatives active in the area.

Additional info

Originally this was destined to be level one of the 3 part Zero series. However after alot of testing it was decided it didn't really fit in.

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!
