Description
The Hazardous-Course 2 is a spoof of the original "Hazard-Course" from Half-Life, which resembles the first player training levels. In contrary to this, the Hazardous-Course, as it's name let's suggest, is much more dangerous. Although it's a mod for a first person shooter, the player can only wield a weapon at the designated target range. So it plays more like an adventure. The difficulty is quite challenging, but the rewards are accordingly. The Basic Training is peppered with hidden Secrets, which reveal tools, shortcuts, control rooms, and other features, to ease almost all challenges. There are two Secret Levels and one Bonus Level to discover, and to complete to access the final part of the Hazardous-Course. Help can be found on the page in form of a FAQ and a complete walkthrough. Unfortunately these are all in german. But to be translated soon. But be aware, that these helps may spoil some surprising Easter eggs, insider gags, and a lot of the actual game play of the HC2!

Additional info
An original Half-life mod had been converted to Sven-Coop, made possible with ripent and bspguy tools. Necessary adjustments were made into the mod to made the campaign playable and cooperative.
There were a lot of unpleasant occurred during the map making process, mainly the env_global entities given me a lot of trouble to do and still need more time to finish.
If you want to report a bug please give details of the problem you found to me so there will be a bigger chance to solve it, and much faster. It's better not to made change for your own with bspguy and not reporting any problems causing even more issue
for other mapper and modder. In the end the problem won't be solve publicly.
If you enjoyed the mod and had the desire to support the original mod author, please check this link

excellent brushwork
i really enjoyed this map and had a blast!
Hey Raffica, first of all i would like to thank you for this amazing conversion. It's been so long since someone actually tried to convert this astonishing campaign to sven. Excellent job.
There's just a couple of issues i have encountered on my play through though:
- In the rocket secret map's domo section, the grenade container on top of the box seems to clip into the box. It can still be picked up, but it often goes unnoticed unless you already know it's there. Not a big deal but still could be fixed
- After finishing the RPG secret and making it to the armory room, for some reason, the barney refuses to play the scripted sequence. I suppose this is because the door sensor script seems to forget you're already carrying weapons which leads to not play the sound and break rest of the sequence, softlocking the campaign completely.
I haven't went through the rest of the campaign yet, but i will continue to update here if i encounter something else.
Thank for reporting. I was planning to published another update on this week but there will be still more maps that i'd like to merge to together before testing out through the entire mod again.
As for the grenade container issue, it might be something wrong with the brush collision since i deleted many models collision hull in order deduct the map clipnode data for merging process so i think i will just move the ammo box somewhere near green crate. It's gonna be fix in v1.3.
For the firing test, I'm 100 percent sure it might be cause by the entities cleanup logic that i implemented in the v1.2 update but fortunately, i have removed this feature ( no longer needed, and thank to ak47toh for suggested this idea ) just to help player run through the basic training only once and then complete the rest of the main quest. Gathering secret is now optional and you just need to focus on the main training course.
With that being said, i will do my best to reduce the amount of map load along with some incorrect map's global data triggering system. The next update will be coming around this week.
be careful when installing this map, this map has a evil chip that makes your pc explode when you play it, i spent $400.000.00 on computers to finish this map, because if your computer doesn't explode when you load the map, it explodes when you die, dont play it beucase you will die if you play this map.

It's better set maxspeed from 270 to 320 in maps' cfg. 320 is the HL Single-Play default maxspeed.
The 270 ground speed will cause many places to be very difficult/even unable to pass, while 320 ground speed in the original mod can pass through.
Already did in my new v1.1 update.
