It's not much, and I'm sure lots of people have already done it, but all it is, well... An NPC Zoo. lol I'm still working on it. I should be finished in a week or two (if i have enough time...) If you have any ideas for anything to add, just tell me! I was thinking maybe a combine base too...
Like animals or people?
Yep. Antlions, Zombies, Combine... Wallace Breen... XD And more! lol

Can you node it? if so, we will be able to have the NPCs walking around in their exhibits. :) It would be good to have an exhibit that has a abandoned Ravenholm themed house and a small mine tunnel...you know, for our headcrab and zombified friends. And a desert/cave themed area for the antlions. Hope this helps!
So its some props smacked together to make "cages" where you then spawn NPCs and think they are animals.

i tried making an npc zoo out of props. all fine and dandy until the antlions break out. then, all hell breaks loose.

You should throw down some combine outside of the exhibits as "Zoo Keepers" or "Guards".
i think you should look over the internet and fine some npcs like a saw someone with a rabit and a deer egc.
I wonder if they ever tried making an elephant npc, I know it would be just like the t-rex npc or dragon.

It spazzed out, causing a kind of unstoppable whirlwind. The guards in the meantime were hunting me down (I wanted it to seem better by not using ignoreplayers and noclip.) and one of them had enablebark on and periodically summoned soldier antlions. In the meantime, the Combine base I had set up earler was destroyed as the result of me having Silverlans APC SNPC in there- firing missiles that opened the base door and allowed the Combine out. 4 hunters emerged along with several soldiers and a few stalkers... After the antlion guards eventually killed me, they turned their attention to the Combine who were all (including the stalkers) attacking the antlions. By the end of the fight there was just one antlion guard left, whom I killed. I then cleared up the resultant mess. During the fight It hadn't occurred to me to use the remover tool... I felt a bit stupid afterwards. Its okay to make a antlion guard zoo, but make sure they and other NPCs can't see each other. And for heavens sake have ignore players on! By the way, when I said "catastrophic consequences" I was exaggerating. Sorry. :)
