Q: Where can I download Action Half-Life?
A: It can be downloaded from http://ahl.action-web.net

Q: I can't use the mouse to select VGUI menu options!!
A: Make sure you set 'hud_capturemouse' to '1'. If that doesn't work, try vgui_emulatemouse "1". Unfortunately, sometimes WikkedGL causes the mouse to not be usable even with these two settings on.

Q: Does AHL include Single Player support?
A: Yes, sort of. You can play the regular Half-Life levels with AHL weapons and physics. Due to AHL's more realistic damage system you'll experience a few situations which are impossible to survive without cheats, though. Also, you could get stuck in some maps. Use standard map changing cheat codes to get around this. Furthermore, you may loose weapons when changing levels normally. Use standard cheat codes to re-arm.

Q: Does it include bot support?
A: No. "Beta 3 had bot support, but these were unreliable so bots have been temporarily removed. However, Rich Whitehouse, maker of the famed Jumbot, is currently working on a bot for AHL"

Q: Why do I get this CL_ParseServerMessage error?
A: This a bug in Half-Life that occurs when you first try to join a server. It is caused by you having you model set to a non-Action Half-Life model. Try selecting a model from the Multiplayer->Customise menu and then reconnecting. Alternately, run HL with the command line "hl.exe -game action", then select a model, quit, then run it again and try connecting (By quitting out you ensure your player model has been set to an AHL player model).

Q: How do I choose a new crosshair or set other client side options?
A: All client side options (crosshair choice, deathcam etc) are located in the 'multiplayer->customise->advanced' section in HL.

Q: How do I change teams?
A: Bring up the Command Menu and select 'change team'.

Q: How do I change my equipment?
A: Bring up the Command Menu and select 'change equipment'.

Q: How do I use the radio?
A: Bring up the Command Menu and select your message in the radio sub-menu. However, it will only work in Teamplay.

Q: How do I add my own custom messages to this radio menu?
A: Edit commandmenu.txt

Q: How do I use gestures? (ie. wave, taunt)
A: Bring up the Command Menu and select the gestures sub-menu.

Q: Why do I die when I get shot?
A: The damage in Action Half-Life is high. One or two shots is usually enough to kill anyone (Especially a shot to the head). Learn to use cover and how to roll/dive out of the way.

Q: My health keeps going down when I get shot, what do I do?
A: You need to bandage. Hit the key you bound "heal" If your health is really low (5 or less), don't bother...
You are going to die anyway... might as well go out in a blaze of glory...

Q: I can't hit anyone, what gives?
A: Your accuracy is effecting by things like movement, stance and rate of fire (to an extent). Try standing still when you go to fire, or better yet crouching. If you are using a fully automatic weapon, try keeping to short bursts.

Q: What does 1337 mean?
A: 1337 (or l33t) stands for 'leet', as in 'elite'.

Q: Why do I get TK-Punished for shooting enemies who start next to me?
A: Many teams have 'sub-teams' composed of different player models, they are not your enemy. Everyone who starts out next to you is a teammate.
If a teammate accidentially kills you, you can forgive him by hitting the key bound to "tkok" (Defaults to "F").
