since there r still question on this, i made this tut for you that need help.
ok heres what u need:
pick one program for your root folder:
half-life.gcf and half-life engine.gcf and platform gcf
or
cs 1.6 non-steam w/ patch 19
or
cz non-steam from my cz topic
------------------------------------------------------------------------
you will also need:
1. play on steam patch
2. HL or third party mods
3. gcfscape to extract gcf's
4. Microsoft netframeworks 1.1 to use gcfscape
---------------------------------------------------------
setting up root folderfor HL gcf's :
1. create a folder called
Half-life in C:\Program Files.
2. extract
half-life engine.gcf and
half-life gcf to that folder
3. create a folder called
platform in your
Half-Life folder and extract
platform.gcf to
platform folder
4. apply
play on steam patch to
half-life folder
5. edit
steamapp(u should know how by now)
ok for those who cant get it right: edit the
yellow items for your steaminstallpath(this is where your Half-life folder u created is, and username and password(what u used to create your steam account)
SteamAppId=92
#SteamAppVersionId=0
SteamInstallPath="
C:\Program Files\Half-Life"
# [as is clearified later on, this should be your email address:]
#SteamAppUser=aalb002@cafe.boomtown.net
SteamAppUser=
steamusername
SteamUserPassphrase="
steampassword"
to play
half-life, make a shortcut of
hl.exe from you
Half-Life folder and add this line to the shorcut properties in the target line:
-steam -game hl ...like this:
"C:\Program Files\Half-Life\hl.exe" -steam -game hl
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
setting up root folder for cz
1. install cz as directed in program
2. apply
play on steam patch to
condition zero folder
3. edit
steamapp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
setting up root folder for: cs 1.6 non-steam
1. install
cs 1.6 non-steam as program states and
v19 patch
2. apply
play on steam patch to w/e
root folder is ex: cs non-steam
3. edit
steamapp
==========================================
ok now to install
Hl mods
list of
HL mods
team fortress
deathmatch
opposing force
ricochet
DOD
deleted scenes
1. first u need the
gcfs for each of these
or go here and d/l the game and install it to your
non-steam root folder:
http://www.planethalflife.com/
2. extract w/e gcf u want to have to desktop, ill use
DOD as example
3. take the whole
dod folder and put it into your
root game folder.
ex: c:\program files\half-life
4. make a shortcut of
hl.exe from your
root folder and add these lines to target:
-steam -game dod
-----
this works for all the games i mentioned on the HL Mod list...
each gcf when extracted will create a folder, that folder name is what u want to add to the shorcut target line -game (mod folder name)
examples:
opposing force: -game gearbox
deleted scenes: -game czeror
team fortress: -game tfc
deathmatch : -game dmc
ricochet: -game ricochet
=======================================

3rd party games:

2. install it to your
root folder.(ex:
C:\program files\half-life)
3. install
play on steam patch to
mod folder(ex:
c:\program files\half-life\ns)
4. edit the
steamapp to read exactly like the one in your mod folder reads
(note:yes, u will have play on steam in 2 spots, your root folder and mod folder-but they will be the same info)
5. make shortcut to
hl.exe and add the target line:
-steam -game ns
-----
this works for all the games i mentioned on the 3rd party list...
each game when installed will create a folder, that folder name is what u want to add to the shorcut target line -game (mod folder name)
examples:
natural selection: -game ns
vampire slayer: -game vs
sven co-op: -game SvenCoop
csv1.5= -game csv15
=============================================
note: play on steam patch is required in your
root folder and inside every third party game
mod folder, this will allow u to play on
steam servers with all the mods
GL and have fun
