      Funnily enough preventing cascade resonance is endpoint of "Timeline" mod trilogy for original half-life. Throughout all three mods you take on nazis who got their hands on time machine and they try to change timeline so they set their new world order not just in one but in multiple timelines. Sounds zany I know but in last third part of mod trilogy Gordon after being in times stretching from prehistoric times to earth naturally dying by sun inflating finally destroy xen crystal and thus prevent the experiment that led to cascade resonance and he finally start to live his life as if nothing happened. Despite crazy premise I highly recommend to play all the mods as they get much better with every new installment.

    Kinda neat that you actually have to use trip mine staircases to progress in a few parts, even if it is somewhat unintentional. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a Half-Life mod do that before, which is kind of surprising to me.
    EDIT: If you ever update this, I think it'd be fun if you did the reverse of what Valve originally did with Gordon being knocked out and taken to the trash compactor. Maybe add a ladder so you can get back up to the trash compactor, and when you step into it, you get ambushed and knocked out like in the base game, the same cut scene plays and you spawn back in the room where the player is knocked out normally. I haven't modded for Goldsrc much, so I'm not terribly familiar with it, but I don't think it'd be too hard to cannibalize the triggers for that from the base game and edit them to work in reverse. Just a thought though, can't really blame you if you don't feel like putting more work into this lol.

Also, what if you went forward on the tram in black mesa outbound?

    Kinda expected the last room, or rather the first room to be full of 100 enemies, or that Nihilanth or Gman would appear and tell Gordon off. Also the Barney (as in THE Barney Calhoun) with the flashlight banging on the door, is somehow blocking the tram from going past him. He's just barely blocking the player from triggering the little end credit message. I had to kill him and noclip out to explode his corpse to get the tram to keep going. Congrats on finishing the mod. I enjoyed it.

Then, as I approached the exit door, I was treated to a panicked scientist reacting to nothing and then being dragged through the air by some unknown telekinetic force!
    Anyone wanting to try this, please be warned though: once you've killed the tentacles, the exit door is closed for good, so save the game first.
