Pak Description:
================
This pak file contains all the sounds for Chapter 1 (Anomalous Materials)
except for the random responses (to random questions) -- those sound 
files will be contained in a separate pak file.  It does not replace 
anything from the train ride section, but we may release that later as a
separate pak file.
This version is a re-release of the chapter 1 pak, because our friends
noted some sounds that needed replacement.
Added in the v1.02 release:  splash.bmp


General Description:
====================
Basically these are sounds to replace some NPC sounds in the 
single-player game.  There really is no reason why we came up with
them ... we just started fooling around with PakExplorer and decided
it would be a fun thing to do.
Anyways, enjoy

*** WARNING! *** These pak files do contain some words (and phrases) 
                 that some people may find offensive.  


Installation:
=============
1) Unzip the downloaded (zip) file into your Half-Life directory.
   e.g. If your Half-Life directory is C:\Games\Half-Life then unzip the file into
        C:\Games\Half-Life
2) This should create the following directory structure:
	.\Half-Life
	.\Half-Life\MPHLS
	.\Half-Life\MPHLS\liblist.gam
	.\Half-Life\MPHLS\mphls_ch1.pak
	.\Half-Life\MPHLS\mphls_ch1.txt
	.\Half-Life\MPHLS\rename_pak.bat
   (If you don't know what the ".\" is for, don't worry about it.)
3) Open up a DOS shell
   (one way of doing this is to go to the Start menu, click on Run, then type in
   "command" and press ENTER)
4) Enter the newly created MPHLS directory
   e.g. If your Half-Life directory is C:\Games\Half-Life then you would say:
	cd Games\Half-Life\MPHLS
5) Run the following command:
	rename_pak mphls_ch1.pak
6) The file "mphls_ch1.pak" will be renamed to pak#.pak where # is some number.
   That's it!


How to start Playing:
=====================
1) Start up Half-Life as normal
2) Go to "Custom Game".  You should see our stuff listed there as
	"Mike and Pete's Fun Half-Life Sound Pak"
3) Activate it and return to the main menu.  If this has been installed properly,
   you should now be looking at two cute dough boys.
4) Start a new game (any difficulty level) and enjoy!


** Please note: ** Many of the replacement sounds are much longer than
the original sounds that they replace.  Because of this, you will 
probably find that a lot of the replacement sounds get interrupted.
There is, unfortunately, no fix for this, but one thing that may help is
to avoid looking at the speaker, as that sometimes prompts him to say
something.


Having Problems?
================
I'm not about to write up a troubleshooting section because I don't know what might go
wrong.  In the meantime, feel free to e-mail us at
	michaelgchu@hotmail.com
		and

Michael generally takes care of the techie stuff, and Pete does everything else.  If you 
don't care who responds, e-mail to both of us!
