It looks pretty good.

 

It is, so far VERY impressive :)

[derelor]

Indeed. Can't stop playing...

Nothing is ever simple :)

 

Where does one find this 'Source SDK Base 2007' they refer to?

Dead link (not the link to the thread - the download link contained in the post).

Dead link (not the link to the thread - the download link contained in the post).

Not dead - just overstressed - or you tried to open it without running steam-client (it is not a URL - its a steam specific command = steam://run/218 ).

Works at my end without problems.

 

BTW edited my post to get SDK 2007 without the link.

If only it didn't require steam.

Haha!

reminds me of people asking to run FC3 without DCS World.

That's a far stretch... :)

I expected this answer :)

OK - so I do not need to download 2006?

[cichlidfan]

I used to say that. I have discovered, however, that Steam can easily be configured to be fairly benign, and in some ways actually useful.

Possibly, but i still don't want it anywhere near my PC. It is a matter of principle, but that is going too far OT, i guess. :)

Yes. No need to download 2006

-Source base SDK 2007 includes all what a "up to date" source-engine needs to run properly.

there are very simple ways to configure steam together with a firewall to do what you want and not what it want - goggle for it.

...

Windows and IE and "services" like Facebook are much greater problems...

(please lets stay on topic :))

I could think of ways of using the waste heat from a car to cook my food. That doesn't mean i'm going to do it. There simply is a point where the hassle outweighs the merits, that point may not be reached for you by steam, for me, it is. There are a few other reasons for me, but i won't go into that. With that being said, let's end this here.

Using your own point from above, with the right knowledge and a few tools, these can be used relatively safe as well. :)

[PeterP]

OK / Fine

This is not far stretched at all.

 

You are asking to use a mod that uses the properties of Vale without the use of the Vale base programme = "Steam".

 

That's exactly the same like asking for FC3 without DCS world.

 

and again: I just answering your input - I'm not eager for a discussion about how a good thing like a "base program" can go beyond what you want to use it for... just answering your comment.

To be more precise (and please read following with a grain of salt and common sense): DCS World can offer the same functionality to ED like Steam. The functions are just not implemented up to now. - and only time can tell.

I didn't expect to find Chuckle Brothers mugs in this mod.

To you

I loved the first HL, I will play this remake again

[EtherealN]

PeterP, there are several very big differences. PM me if you want to continue that discussion. :)

[159th_Viper]

OK - so it's installed to the default directory and it appears in the STEAM source mods folder, I exit STEAM and restart and it still does not appear in my STEAM library.

 

How on this green earth do you get it to run? Must it be so difficult to fathom or is it a case of 'Computer-Illiterates need not apply'?

[Krebs20]

Is your library selection on " Installed games" mine defaults to favorites.

[159th_Viper]

OK - now it appears after the sixth restart :megalol:
