Bonus Maps Menu

It seems like the game won't load the mod through the workshop anymore.
Extracting the gamemenu file from the mod's VPK using VPKEdit and replacing the vanilla gamemenu file listed in the installation section above allows it to function perfectly fine, however.
Though, of course, less than ideal, it may be prudent for the mod author to host the gamemenu file somewhere other than the workshop and just provide a link to it on the workshop page. It's ultimately the mod author's call whether they do that, though.

BROKEN MOD , deleting gamemenu.res just make it to default hl2 menu and you cannot change episodes or even access workshop menu.

It just becames the default menu before 20th ani

why did it turn to normal hl2

having the same issue as @SuHomunculoRiko, renamed the file in resource but it just changed the menu to the pre-anniversary menu, just with a dev commentary option added that simply shows the new game menu. cant switch to the episodes, cant access bonus maps or workshop maps. i think it would just be easier to have us drop the bonus maps gamemenu file into resource to replace the regular gamemenu file instead of renaming, since we can always fix it just by verifying files or reinstalling the game if worst comes to worst.

Update:
> Added "EXTRAS" menu to Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2, and Lost Coast submenus,
> Added "BONUS MAPS" to the pause menu.

i followed the instructions but it just turns into normal hl2 before the extras, workshop or anything, it also won't let me load any chapters bc they are now locked again (i'm on linux if that's important)

well usualy when in gmod workshop you just download the map and boom its there but its alr

Interesting. I'm not sure there's a benefit to this method compared to simply loading a map through the workshop or from the console, but it's very neat that you can do this in the first place.

And for those talking about the manual installation, the reason is that you normally can't modify that type of file via workshop, and the default tends to override any attempts. So you'd have to rename the original so that the game can't find it and can only find the one provided by the mod.

It's a similar situation to startup videos from L4D2. They run before workshop stuff is submitted, so to use them you'd have to extract the files and install them manually. There was no other way to go about it.

not my aura!
