Has anyone made a chapter select mod?

[Criceto]

I've been playing HL1 through my Steam Deck and jumping around to different chapters but manually typing in "map ___;give item_suit;give weapon crowbar;give weapon glock, etc etc" every time is really tiring. Has anyone made a mod that adds in a chapter select menu?

Half Life: MMOD will add this iirc. Otherwise you only have HL:Source

The New Light Base SDK also has it alongside other quality of life improvements.

This mod has it and a lot of cool other stuff.

You can copy the maps from Half-Life: Source's chapter scripts, and then add "give weapon_<weaponclassname>" and "give item_suit" after "map <mapname>".
You may need to add "give ammo_<ammoclassname>" as well.
I would also suggest giving yourself some suit battery as too, but that's entirely up to you.


Bam, (essentially) chapter select in GoldSource.

I have not tested this myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I've tried to create one myself but putting in a command like

"map [mapname];give weapon_crowbar;give weapon_glock;give item_suit"

doesn't work since it tries to execute the commands for giving you weapons and such at the same time as loading the map which obviously doesn't work. The "wait" command also doesn't persist between maps so using that to time it and give you the items AFTER you load into the map doesn't work.

There was one planned but it's a chore to properly do.


The best would be making specific saves for the beginning of a chapter.
