** Fixed **
===============================
- "Could not load library client." when launching the mod.
- In-game menu.
- Gameinfo.txt now has correct parameters.
- Crashes due to screen overlays on both maps bs_intro and bs_ext.
- Removed HUD battery.
- Visual glitches on both maps bs_intro and bs_ext, seen upon finishing

- Map bs_intro
Removed a screen overlay output to prevent the game from crashing.
This used to happen on fourth scene where players are running to
a soldier lying on the ground and being pulled.
If you have any questions related to this patch, please let me know.
Criticism & suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Quick update:
The suit power HUD (battery) has been removed.
Thanks to @Dune_Jumper for notifying me.
To everyone:
I am receiving messages stating that the mod has problems while launching/saving settings.
I would appreciate if several people would let me know about this. Is the mod working alright?
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you so much! This is my favorite HL2: EP2 mod of all time, and I'm extremely glad you took the time to make it available again. I remember having to modify so much code for it to work on my YouTube series a few years back... You guys are the best! <3
Sincerely,
MF :D
is it still completely unlaunchable? i was really looking forward to playing this mod.
I suspect this mod is unlaunchable/unplayable in 2017? Only just found out that it exists. Would like to play it :(
Using the Source 2013 SDK patch, this mod can be played.
A readme_fix.txt file is included in the 2013 Source SDK patch,
containing detailed instructions on how to install this mod.
I tried downloading the mod by extracting the files to the "sourcemods" section of Steam, but when I try to launch the game via the Steam library, I hear the usual Valve "intro" scene, but stuck staring a white screen. When I try closing the program using task manager, an error pops up, reading:
Can't find background image 'materials/console/blacksnow_menu1_widescreen.vtf'
Please help! :(
i've gotten version 1.0.5 of the mod and updated it with the sdk patch.i boot the mod up,it shows the valve and source logos,the game loads for a split second and then it kicks me back to steam without a reason.
does anyone have an idea on what to do?

It might be because you are not enrolled in the
Source SDK 2013 Singleplayer 'upcoming' beta.
To do this, please follow these instructions:
- Right-click on Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer.
- Go to the "Betas" tab.
- Change "Select the beta you would opt into" option to "upcoming"
- Restart Steam.
SAMEEE BRO
Ok I’ll try that.
P.s what files should I and should I not download?
sumbum21
The installation procedure is
explained in the file readme_fix.txt
The readme includes links to where to
download the necessary files for installation.
It should be as follow:
- Create a folder named 'BlackSnow' in your Sourcemods folder.
- Download Black snow v1.05 and extract everything
to the 'BlackSnow' folder.
- Download Black snow v1.05 patch and extract everything
to the 'BlackSnow' folder. Overwrite everything when prompted to.
- Download Black snow v1.05 Source SDK 2013 patch and extract
everything to the 'BlackSnow' folder. Overwrite everything when
prompted to.
- Make sure you have installed the 'Source SDK Base 2013
Singleplayer' from the 'Tools' section in Steam.
- Right click on 'Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer'
and click 'Properties'. Go to the 'Betas' section
and select 'upcoming' from the dropdown.
- Restart Steam.
Thank you.

You are welcome. Glad to help.
i did all of that and it's saying could not load library client what should i do now?

If none of the steps above worked, you could always
attempt to follow the traditional method of fixing
Source engine mods by modifying the Gameinfo.txt file,
as described here.
Steamcommunity.com
Since Black show is a HL2 ep2 mod, you should follow
the procedure for HL2 ep2 mods.
It opens up and shows the intro, then after the half life 2 menu loading, then it quits
crashes at the beginning when I kick the cart
Uhh does steam pipe patch has all the patches in it? Or i stil need to download all patches!?
Edit : oh it is.
Is this mods still work for HL2:EP2? do i just need texture and models from HL2:EP2?
