NOTE: This repository is going through heavy behind-the-scenes changes so the releases section might not be up-to-date with the latest assets. The Google Drive should always be up-to-date now.
A collection of scripts and resources to improve functionality of Half-Life: Alyx for mappers.
Still in early development.
Navigate to the release section to download zips of the latest assets: https://github.com/FrostSource/hla_extravaganza/releases
Or browse the Google drive for those who have trouble with GitHub: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SCVtkcVs6I3Gwhqqehh7NsR74qs_fAq-?usp=sharing
All files and folders are structured in a way to allow direct copying into your content folder, with 2 exceptions (see scripts and fgd below).
Simply drag the contents of the release zips into your content folder, e.g.
steamapps\common\Half-Life Alyx\content\hlvr_addons\my_addon\
Script files are consumed by the game engine directly so are placed in the game folder instead of the content folder, e.g.
steamapps\common\Half-Life Alyx\game\hlvr_addons\my_addon\
You will have two subfolders in your addons game folder, scripts and scripts\vscripts:
steamapps\common\Half-Life Alyx\game\hlvr_addons\my_addon\scripts\
steamapps\common\Half-Life Alyx\game\hlvr_addons\my_addon\scripts\vscripts\
The vscripts folder is where all Lua files will be loaded from by the game engine.
FGD files are loaded from the main game directly and are not associated with specific addons. See the FGD README for installation instructions.
See the contributing guide for a detailed explanation about adding your own assets.
If you can't follow the guide or have an aversion to git, you can join the discord and show us the asset you would like to contribute, one of our contributors is likely to add it.
