How do you load mods in HL2?

[TriedandTested]

I've extracted the cinematic files as it explains in the readme (although i had to create the 'steamapps/sourcemods' folder and i extracted the folder containing the mod files in there.

What next?

That should be it, just resart Steam and the game icon should appear in the steam list. Make sure you have the game installed that the mod has been created for! I.e. If it's a HL2 mod then you NEED hl2 installed, not EP1!

So it should show in the steam games list under 'installed games' yes?

Hmm...

 

[TriedandTested]

Ah yeah, it is now..had put it in the wrong folder. Thank you!

 

[Mint_Sauce]

Yup

You should have put the folder in the steamapps/sourcemods folder so it reads along the lines of...

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\YOUR MOD FOLDER HERE

Once its in the right place you should find it in your steam games list.

Word of warning, watch out for those nipples.

Cinematic. It's pretty amazing...has rather good music too. Just crashed out in Vista though.

Doesn't overwrite HL2 files...read the readme and the post in this thread.

Fake factory mod uses the HL2 game, but uses code to run the new files from the fake factory folder instead of the original HL2 folder. (Or something along that line)

And the modeling done on alyx is quite...detailed to say the least I found my self dying a lot more due to distractions.

You're making me want to download the new version

But 1.5gb @ 50kb/s is annoying

 

[::: CooliceT ::]

Yuuuup, that's them nipples alright!

The cinematic experience is great; the score is fantastic; the clothing doesn't leave much to the imagination.

Posted this in a thread a couple days ago, shows just how well fakefactory did with the new textures, although the screenshot doesn't do it justice.
