# Half-Life 2 Chaos # Half-Life 2 Chaos—Download from here
https://github.com/Pinsplash/halflife2chaos/releases
## Download from here
https://github.com/Pinsplash/halflife2chaos/releases
## Installation ## Installation
Put the `hl2chaos` folder into `Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/`. The path to `gameinfo.txt` should be `Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/hl2chaos/gameinfo.txt`. Do the same with the `ep1chaos` and `ep2chaos` folders if you wish to play Chaos in Episode One/Two. In all places in this guide, replace "hl2chaos" with "ep1chaos" or "ep2chaos" if using Episode One/Two. Restart Steam for the mod(s) to appear in your library.
Put the `hl2chaos` folder into `Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/`. When running you will be prompted to download `Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer` if you don't have it already. This is normal. Download it, then right click on it and go to `Properties...`, `BETAS`, and change the dropdown from `None` to `upcoming - upcoming`.
Changing this setting will prevent immediate crashes.
The path to `gameinfo.txt` should be `Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/hl2chaos/gameinfo.txt`. For Episode One/Two, you must copy the map (.bsp) files from your installation of Episode One/Two. The mod may attempt to load maps without this step, but there will be issues. To do this go to `Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/___/maps/`. Fill in the blank with which game you want to copy maps for:

* **ep2** for Episode Two
Restart Steam for the mod(s) to appear in your library. Copy the map files and paste them in `Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/hl2chaos/maps/`. Maps from mods (and Lost Coast) can also be used if you wish, though some things may not function correctly and additional original content (like textures and models) will need to be copied as well.

* **Zero Gravity** and **Invert Gravity**: You can stick to the ground as long as you don't jump or move off it. Land in water to avoid fall damage. Landing on slopes can prevent fall damage.
* **Zero Gravity** and **Invert Gravity**: * **Water World**: Only the crowbar, gravity gun, pistol, and crossbow can be used underwater. Drowning damage heals once you leave water. If **Superhot** is on, stay still to minimize drowning damage. If **Supercold** is on, move around to minimize drowning damage. You can't drown in vehicles.
