Half-Life 2 Map Sandboxifier

About

A simple tool for removing the unnecessary elements for sandbox gameplay on Half-Life 2 maps. It works also for HL2 Ep1 and Ep2 maps (not fully yet).

How to use

To use the tool you need to be an admin. Go to the Spawn menu ("Q"), "Utilities" tab (next to the "Tools" tab). Under the Jakub Baku category there is "HL2 Map Sandboxifier". Press "Select All" to select all options, "Deselect all" to deselect all and "Invert selection" to invert the selection.

Press the "Apply" button to remove selected elements and "Undo" to bring them back. Alternatively you can just do an Admin Cleanup.

Options

• Leaches - removes all trigger_waterydeath. No more leaches lurking in the water!

• Desolidify Brushes - makes toggleable brushes non solid (like Combine shields)

• Friendly NPCs - removes all friendly NPCs

• NPC Spawners - deactivates npc_template_maker, npc_maker etc. Disables the antlion spawn and more.

• Save loads on mission fail - disables the mission reload on fail (for example falling into the water with jeep)

• All trigger_hurt - disables trigger_hurt from hurting the player

• All map Created NPCs - removes all NPCs (at the moment not only the ones created by map, all of them)

• Hostile NPCs - removes hostile NPCs like combine soldiers, zombies

• Level transitions - disables the level transition

• Prevent physgun / toolgun - prevents map entities (doors etc.) from being picked up or removed
