Just to clarify:
These are for MS v1.35 - NOT for MS:C!
This is a batch file and a set of ent files that will allow you to install and uninstall, in toggle like fashion, the increased difficulty maps used at the Thothie server.
The maps modified are:
Calruin
Challs
Helena
Mscave
Sfor
Thornlands
Basically, the monsters are all replaced with higher level variants, and their numbers increased where possible. This is intended for the higher level players, who no longer find the basic MS maps a challenge.
Some maps also have additional treasure, but you will have to work for it. Some maps also make use of previously neglected secret areas.
To use this, simply decompress the files into:
Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life\ms\maps
(note: the maps folder of ms, not the ms folder itself)
Then run the batch file in that folder called "level2.bat"
The first time you run it, it will make backups of the ent tables of all the affected maps, and update the your current maps to increased difficulty levels.
The second time you run it, it will restore your maps to their original state.
Repeat as desired.
