Accesing Mods

[[46] pushit [2]]

I was just wondering how full-out mods will be accessed? These smaller, "mini" mods such as antlion troopers seem easy enough by just loading up half life 2 and then loading the map. But will all mods be like this or will some be an entirely different game? Just curious. Also, anyone know what's up with hl2 files? I can access their site, just doesnt load up? also any word on teh new pilotable strider mod? v2.75 i think...

The third party games menu... mods install into "Source Mods" folders. See www.sourceracer.com <-- first gametype mod

Even the mods which say "Install into your HL2 directory" can be installed to the Sourcemods folder, and accessed via the Third Party menu subsection, as I found out with the Friendly Fire mod.

I have to say, it's a very nice way of accessing mods. Though it'd be nice if the old HL networking feature remained. Start HL, check the multiplayer games section. If there's a server running a different mod, you try to join it, and if you've got in installed, it changes to it. So very mod friendly.
