1:Introduction
The original SMOD (Suspected to stand for SuperMOD although it is not confirmed) is a modification (mod) of the video game Half-Life 2 on the Source Engine. SMOD adds a large number of graphical and gameplay features and most notably allows the user to customize these to a extent only below Garry's Mod.
Summery of SMOD's Features:
-A wide variety of new weapons.
-Enhanced Visual Effects. Including Tone Mapping, Motion Blur, and new Particle Effects.
-New player abilities. Including Quick Kicking and Bullet Time.
-New enemies such as the Killer Scanner, Stalkers, and Optically Camouflaged Combine.-Increased Gore and Blood.
-More enemies, events, and allies in the Half-Life 2 Campaign.
-Scalable and customizable settings.
SMOD Reduxis a fan-made expansion to SMOD. It takes advantage of SMOD's vast array of customization capabilities to offer even more new content and aims to make customizing SMOD more user-friendly then ever before.
Summery of SMOD Redux's Features:
-13 new weapons and 3+ new types of ammo added thanks to SMOD's custom weapon support.
-The SMOD Menu System. A system that allows the user to customize SMOD's settings right from the main menu.
-Full activation of Leaning and Night Vision. Which were originally left for modders.

-Even more new events and enemies added to the Half-Life 2 Campaign.

-The addition of new enemies that were coded into SMOD, but not enabled. Including the Zombine and Zombie2.
-Numerous bug fixes, model edits, and balance changes.
The Addon Pack
The Redux Addon Pack was created due to the shift in focus starting in Version 7. The focus was shifted to having less but more polished content in the 'Core' releases as the standard releases are now called, as a common complain about earlier versions was that Redux was buggy and bloated with unneeded content. The Addon Pack is meant for those who want more weapons and maps in SMOD Redux, so players can now choose whether to have the new content or not instead of it being forced upon them.
INSTALL REQUIREMENTS:
The following games must be owned and preferably started at least once prior to playing SMOD Redux:
-Half-Life 2
-Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
-Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast (FREE if you own Half-Life 2)
These are all the games needed to play SMOD Redux. Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2's Episodic Expansions are NOT required to play. You also do not need SMOD 40a installed before installing and playing SMOD Redux.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
While the Menu System allows players within a large range of computer specifications to play SMOD Redux, It is highly recommended that your computer specifications meet and preferably exceed Half-Life 2's recommended system requirements before playing SMOD Redux. To fully enjoy SMOD Redux without possible performance issues it is recommended to have at least 1 Gigabyte of RAM and a DirectX 9 enabled graphics card.

SPECIAL NOTE: For those still unaware, SMOD Redux is a Fan-Made Modification of the original SMOD. It is not the official SMOD as released by 'The SMOD Author' nor is it officially authorized. |
