This is one of mods for the leak I work on. The idea of it is to restore full City 17 chapter from the old Half-Life 2 storyline playable so you can make your way from industrial area near train station to Kleiner's lab with no map loading from console.
Here's maps list of the chapter and a little description of how much is left to do on each map:
d1_garage_01 - industrial area with different factories and an APC repair garage. d1_garage_01_32.vmf is taken as a base vmf for this map. It's 99% ready, only few things left to improve there. Because of entity limit in the leak I had to split factory chasm area into a separate map, which was named "d1_garage_03"
d1_garage_02 - sewers under factory area which leads to a building burnt from the inside. d1_garage_02_03.vmf is taken as a base vmf for this map. It is 100% ready.
d1_terminal_01 - a train station square with a scenic view on the city from train station roof and catwalks on the opposite building. d1_terminal_01_40.vmf is taken as a base vmf for this map, with portions of the map copied from e3_terminal. it's 95% ready, some final things is left to do with the 3d skybox.
d1_c17_02 - this map is missing in the WC mappack, only small portions of the map can be found on few map sources of c17_01 and c17_03. I will have to do this map from scratch. Currently only a raw prototype is ready.
d1_c17_03 - an area of the city near downtown with few construction sites. c17_03_08.vmf is taken as a base vmf for this map, but I might will do this map from scratch, since the only map source we have is very old and bad looking.
d1_c17_04 - City 17 downtown. Many skyscrapers and a consulcast device can be found on this map. c17_04_41.vmf is taken as a base vmf for this map. 90% is ready, as I only need to finish passers by scripts and maybe change the 3d skybox a bit.
d1_c17_05 - Manhack Arcade and a outdoor area behind it with an abandoned radio tower. And before you ask, yes, you will be able to control a manhack. You will see
. The map is compilation of portions from different map sources, the arcade itself is taken from a hidden vis group from arcade_05.vmf. About 50% of map is ready, there's still pretty much stuff to do there.

- sewers and steam tunnel under the streets, leading to Kleiner's lab. subt.vmf is taken as a base vmf for this map. It is 99% ready as it needs small improvements.
d1_lab_01 - old story line's Kleiner's lab. kleiner.vmf is taken as a base vmf for this map. I had to split the map on 2 due to HL2 beta's entity limitations. The map is ready, but I might will change wasteland area on it and also the scene itself needs some improvements.
Currently the mod's developement is on halt due to lack of free time.
Here's download link for current, unfinished build of the mod.
Many things don't work, there're some crashes, temp textures, stuff like that.
