About the mod

Adrenaline Gamer (AG) is a Half-Life multiplayer mod that adds match functions and extra gamemodes. This mod is used to host league games and 1v1 matches, often played by “pro” players, but also by average players who want to improve at this game.

(not my pics)

If you’re starting to think Half-Life is way too easy, this mod is for you.

AG includes modified gameplay features that include old physics (uncapped bunnyhopping) and movement speed slightly fastened

As described on the mod’s steam group:

Adrenaline Gamer is a full Half-Life Deathmatch replacement mod and is considered to be the OSP mod for Half-Life. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Adrenaline Gamer, think of it as an extension to HLDM which offers more choices, more control, more options, more features… and ultimately more fun!

Installation

Since this is a Half-Life mod, you obviously going to need HL installed already.
You can get the mod here:

Gamemodes

AG includes extra gamemodes aside of the regular DM one, you can vote for them by typing the gamemode’s short name in console (tdm, ffa, ctf, etc)

Took this info from the mod’s documentation file

Free For All (ffa): Standard Deathmatch settings.

Team Deathmatch (tdm): A 20-mins team based match. The team which ends the match with the most kills wins.

Capture The Flag mode (ctf):Team-based gamemode where you try to capture the opposing teams flag.
Player score system in CTF:
4 points for each capture.
1 point for returning your teams flag.
1 point for killing the opponent that carries your flag.
1 point for stealing the other teams flag.
1 point if you kill your opponent while defending your flag.

Last Man Standing (lms): You start with a subset of the standard weapons and battle it out until one man remains!

Last Team Standing (lts): You also start with a subset of the standard weapons and battle it out until one team remains! Think of this one as Quake’s Clan Arena.

Arena (arena): A one on one mode where you start will all the weapons. When a player dies he goes to spectator mode
and the next in line is spawned after a countdown. If you just want to
watch you can change your ready status in the commandmenu, or also you can type ready/notready in console.

Arcade (arcade): Warmup mode to get the feel for the weapons before a match. You
always spawn with all weapons and ammo. If you kill someone you get a refill
as a reward.

Instagib (instagib): One shot one kill!

cl_lw 1 – Client side controlled effects.

Config: Weapon binds

Default controls involve using the 0-5 keys or scrolling your mousewheel to move through the weapons menu. This is not a good idea, because it slows you down and makes you an easy target.

If you want to take down your enemies faster, then you may want to be able to switch weapons faster too. To achieve this you can bind all the available weapons around your movement keys (WASD). For example, this is what i use:

bind 1 “weapon_9mmAR”
bind 2 “weapon_shotgun”
bind 3 “weapon_rpg”
bind 4 “weapon_hornetgun”
bind 5 “weapon_egon”
bind q “weapon_gauss”
bind t “weapon_crowbar”
bind f “weapon_357”
bind x “weapon_crossbow”
bind ctrl “weapon_9mmhandgun”

1 for 9mmAR/MP5
2 for Shotgun
3 for RPG
4 for Hornetgun
CTRL for Glock
5 for Gluon/Egon
Q for Tau Cannon/gauss
T for Crowbar
F for 357/Revolver
X for Crossbow

To assing a key to a specific weapon, the first thing you need to do is open the console using the (~) key (the one above TAB). After that, type the following command in there:

bind “key” “weapon_name”
For example [bind “q” “weapon_shotgun”] will assing the key Q to the shotgun

Config: Helpful scripts

Various common scripts that can be used in HLDM:AG, you don’t have to use them if you don’t want to.
To use them you need to copy/paste the script content into userconfig.cfg or autoexec.cfg in your Half-Life/ag directory

-Decentjump
Makes jump timing less punishing, allowing you to jump around easier

//decentjump
alias “+decentjump” “+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump;wait;+jump;wait;-jump”
alias “-decentjump” “-jump”
bind “key” “+decentjump”

-Double-duck (box jump)
Have you ever seen some players that can climb boxes in stalkyard at an impressive speed? They are doing the doubleduck trick. It works by ducking, then quickly releasing duck and then ducking again resulting in a small elevation from the ground, allowing you to climb small boxes faster.

//doubleduck
alias “+doubleduck” “+duck;wait;-duck;wait;+duck;wait”
alias “-doubleduck” “-duck”
bind “key” “+doubleduck”

-Longjump script
If pressing duck+jump is too hard for you, you can do a longjump with a single key using this script

//longjump (default)
alias “+longjump” “+duck;wait;+jump”
alias “-longjump” “-jump;-duck”
bind “key” “+longjump”

-Quick bow script
inb4 hurr durr xbow cheats
It isn’t really a cheat since you can do the same thing by switching to a different weapon then back to the xbow after shooting
This one works by zooming, shooting, then switching weapons back to the crossbow, almost instantaneously.

//quickbow
alias “+quickbow” “+attack2;wait;+attack;wait;-attack;wait;-attack2”
alias “-quickbow” “wait;lastinv;lastinv”
bind “key” “+quickbow”
