THE MANUAL

Installation
Extract the .zip file directly to your Half-Life directory.  For example, if Half-Life is installed to the folder 'halflife' on your C Drive, extract the file to: C:\halflife.  This should create a folder within your Half-Life directory, called soloops.

Getting Started
To launch Solo Operations, open up Half-Life and click on the Custom Game button.  You should see a list of any installed modifications.  Solo Operations should be among this list.  Select it, and click Activate.  You should now be ready to alter any options to your needs, including controls and graphical variables.  When you are ready to start playing Solo Operations, select Begin.
