Can you help me with the installation of HL1 Ports?
I have the files they are extracted but where do i put them? :o
Posted by: slammy_dunken
I don't usually request things, but does anyone know where to get part 62 of the beta? filesoup had it but they decided to remove all their hl2 stuff.
Posted by: cpt_azad
i extracted all files succesfully. problem is when i start it up. it goes to the menu, but when i click on new game, and select easy, medium, hard, or training room, it doesnt seem to work. i bought the console down, and typed in map and it gave me a list of maps, so it tried them. the game just crashes back to desktop. is there a fix for this? or am i just a n00b (i'm leaning towards n00b here)?

So is there a hash for the playable half life 2 demo, or some other place to download it from? Canīt seem to find in on suprnova.
Posted by: abu_has_the_power
they took it off suprnova and bittorrentmovies.de cuz valve and gov are looking for sites that have this. hotspots like bittorrent and irc

ur an idiot and scrub like octopussy said. die u... ok, just cuz i'm not mad today, ur supposed to use the ~ key to open console, i think, and type the name of the map. i don't know. there's something called an nfo
Posted by: Octopussy
nfo like the readme file? they have thoer on www.nforce.com or somting
Posted by: 3rd gen noob
finally got all the hl2 rars from newsgroups
just extracted there (took 15 mins :( ) and noticed the very last file extracted was *.vbs
is it normal to have a vbs file in a game?
is this a possible virus?
i'm scanning now, but i'm a little worried

it's a surprise there's not more posting in here... :blink:

yeah, you're still missing the point though...the trailer only shows what valve wanted to show, it's possible they were 'hiding' things from the viewers
also, what kind of hardware was that run on? do you have exact specs?
do you know how the game runs on normal hardware?
<_<
Posted by: Octopussy
grr why would they hide anythigngggg they showed the real stuff
and i duno what hardware it was on and its probably best so the game looks best and thats wat im gona have once i get a good a 256 mb radeon 9 thousand somting

Because valve don't want to spoil too much. Half-life 2 is going to be an extremely sophisticated game, i don't think they'd want to show people all the goodies before it's released ;)
Also, the radeon 9000 is a generation + old.

Don't make fools of yourselves, 1st off I am not a Valve Hater or Lover, I've had my fair share of problems with them and my few times of happiness(though the problems exceed), but it could be that they showed the great things of the game in the e3 video that always work in some exact situation...like the whole house scene with the aliens shooting through the windows, but maybe the game is so complex AND INCOMPLETE that they still have not programmed it correctly to do that everytime if some small variable is changed *1 glitch of many*
are we being lied to? I dont know, but if you havent come in contact with Valve supporting customers, its not a good site. They've had some annoying ass glitches with (VAC) Valve Anti Cheat for years and havent done anyhting about it at the requests of 1000's of players being banned for no reason whatsoever...
will this game be as awesome as it looks to be? good question, and only valve programmers can decide if they want to be game delaying asshats or keep delaying it and tell the truth...
Simple in fact.

Few problems with your post which you seem to just spun off on for absolutely no reason whatsoever. You assume that i think that the trailers shown aren't scripted, i never said that once.
Although the actual fact is that i don't think it is scripted because they havnt spent all these years on HL2 for nothing, and they don't seem to be shy about selling off their source code to designers willing to pay for it.
"(VAC) Valve Anti Cheat" Where the hell did that come from. While i don't deny it, you seem to of taken that out and tried to make it into a decent case against valve. They have done some simply amazing projects since it was founded, and you choose that as a point of argument? <_<

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have looked everywhere for the beta. Its no longer on any bit torrent sites. I cant find crap on Shareza. and all the forums are leading me nowhere. does anyone know where i can get the file?
Posted by: DWk
first, its not beta, its just a LEAKED version... second, ur best choice after those would be mIRC....

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I had Half Life: Uplink. Guess what? Uplink is actually some kind of demo. Its a special demo cuz its not in the original game. and its standalone. Uplink is nothing special... u can get it officially from fileplanet or other places

True Words spoken from a n00b!!
Its all over the net why they didn't release it..
Valve are pissed cos they can't protect there network from being hacked so someone took/STOLE the HL2 source code. <_<
There hella pissed about it and postponed it because someone took the sourcecode.. However i also read they never intentioned in releasing HL2 same times as CZ. Qoute from person hwo said this "Why sell a *New* Zelda game on the N64 when Gamecube is out!" no one would by CZ cos you could get HL2 WITH SUPER COOL GRAPHICS or you could just get CZ with the old HL engine with shit scipted AI and yucky graphics (except AUG looks cool) *I have this game also not beta cos i've finshed it with no problems or glitches in game or graphics!*
There you have it :angry:

yup yup yup seems kinda sensless work on something as big as HL2 and just KILL it ppl would be so pissed and VALVE would be also cause of the money they couldve made and lost (30-40% would prolly download it instead) the rest would buy it and later on bout 20% that downloaded it would buy a key to play online
also CAN u imagine the mods they could make with HL2 OMG counterstrike with HL2 grafix JUST wait man!!!! dam i cant WAIT!!!!! :D :P

what are the system requirements for half-life 2? :blink:

The minimum system specs are currently targeted at a 700 MHz PC with 128 MB RAM and a DX6-level video card TNT2 etc, meaning you won't need a supercomputer to run Half-Life 2.
But on the machine above don't expect to see reflective water,dynamic shadows and bump-mapped textures. The game running at maximum detail 50/60 fps, machine required for this is approx 1600Mhz cpu, 256 mb ram, GeForce4 Ti card.
In real life you need the best from a new game so I would recommend a 2000 cpu, 512 mb ram, GeForce4 Ti4800 128 ddr or ATI Radeon equivalent.
The more power the better but not essential with this game.

no. if u want the best from the game, u need an athlon fx-51, and a grafix card from ati or nvidia which would come out in the 1st quarter of next year
then the game would be absolutely kickass

--------------------------------------
*There are bots
*Physics Engine Works
*You can kill AI
*There is AI in some levels but it's not fully scripted
*There is blood in some levels
*The Multiplayer seems to work not 100% checked though
*There are a few vehicles
*No there is no structured story
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIPS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forgotten a command? Put a partial command into the console and hit tab, it will bring
up the closest command, hitting tab again will bring the next and so on......
e.g. ch_create + tab........ you can find out what vehicles are available to spawn
Copying your Counterstrike config file into the hl2/config dir should propogate your
settings to HL2.
Load d1_town_01.bsp. After it's loaded type exec e3_town and all of the AI and scripted
sequences should work.
USE FRAPS for taking screenshots while in game and for FPS counting
Screenshot can also be bound to a key (F5 Default)
'maps' in console allows you to view all available maps and scroll through them
d3_city17 for city 17 maps

For standard dx9 codepath: -console -dxlevel 90 -width 1024 -height 768 -fullscreen
You may want to add -heapsize 128000 or 256000 -- the game seems to use a default heapsize of 40 megs,
which doesnt seem very much.

I just read this whole thread and - correct me if I'm wrong but - I haven't seen anything about 'Half.Life.2.Beta.Patch1-ANON.tar' this patch was released on October 8 and fixed some of the 'bugs' (if you can even call an incomplete game bugged). It came in an 8x15 pack with the following remarkable nfo :

| Half-Life 2 - Patch 1, fixes old models |
| |
| Company: Valve Corporation ( http://www.valvesoftware.com ) |
| File size: 8 x 15MB |
| Release: Unknown |

| Well, I forgot to update you with the freshest stuff from |
| Valvesoftware. |
| |
| Detonator-52.13-ANON got leaked today, its the new NVidia |
| drivers for HL2, though i have no fancy video card to test the |
| driver on. |
| |
| Btw., for those of you still thinking -ANON is a group, i have |
| to say it isnt. Its just Anonymous. |
| |
| To all those saying HL2 was delayed because of the hacking |
| action, ill just remind you that what was leaked is what Valve |
| has, nothing more and nothing less, so its pretty good to |
| understand it wasnt finished yet. |
| |
| Also I'd like to point out the E3 was one big fake by Valve. |
| Ever tried to kill that soldier in physicstown ? Notice the |
| door will still get kicked ? No scripted sequences ? |
| |
| To everyone saying this is no Beta: I'd like to point out that |
| THIS is what you wanted Valve to release on 9/30/03, theres no |
| such thing as a much better release in Valves network! |
| |
| To Valve: I suggest you stop lying to your customers about how |
| much was stolen/compromised, or I'll have to release everything |
| just to prove my point. And you know what you got, as I do. |

| - Anonymous leaker |

OK. Here's where I piss off all you angry little boys. I have the HL 2 ANON and the ANON patch 1, and no matter what magical way I've tried to get it to work, the best thing that will happen is I get my screen to flash and go back to windows. So, after the mountain of "f*ckin' n00b" replies, is there someone out there who can tell me how to get it to work, like from the moment it's unpacked? No one has ever posted that...
