Arrow The 100% Working Hl2 Steamless English

here's my full decrypter + patch: (link at the bottem)
--=99% tested/working with English HL2 installation=--

here's the readme

Quote:
<Maxiumize the notepad will make the text easier to read>


1. DO NOT LET STEAM UPDATE ITSELF!!! AFTER INSTALL, copy the
files from \SteamApp\ ASAP!!!

2. apply Gizma's patch, read "Readme_Gizma_Instructions.txt"
for more detailed instructions

3. Copy everything from "\2_Patch" folder in here into your "\root"
folder, overwriting everything.

4. Open "steam.ini" and where it says
BaseDir=C:\HL2\root
change the value to the dir you've installed your game, my
would be:
BaseDir=C:\Program Files\z_Games\HL2\root
of course, you shouldn't change that IF you've followed everything
in the "Readme_Gizma_Instructions.txt"

5. make a shortcut just like the one provided:
"c:\hl2\root\hl2.exe" -steamlocal

6. double click on it and sit back, enjoy HL2 without STEAM
knowing ;-)

and here's the readme for Gizma's decrypter:
ok, i've seen tooooo many people having problem with gizma's unpacker in command prompt, so here's a guide, follow this STEP BY STEP and nothing, (REPEAT, NOTHING) will go wrong:

1. create a folder called "hl2" in c:\ (using Windows Explorer)
2. copy the decrypter to that folder
so now you should have a folder called "hl2" under "C" and files called: "hlunp.exe" "unpackhl2.cmd"
IMPORTANT: after installing HL2, do not let steam update itself
3. copy all the GCFs from "SteamApps" (if you can't find that, then you didn't even try to crack the game ) to c:\hl2
4. open command prompt and type "cd c:\"
5. type "cd hl2"
6. type "unpackhl2 c:\hl2 c:\hl2"
7. make a cup of tea and sit back
8. now press enter to exit command prompt
9. look inside the c:\hl2 and you will notice a folder called "root"
10. there you go, decrypted

ok, because of so many people sent email to my mail box, i can't do it manually now, so i got to a cyber-cafe and posted my files on three mirrors. please don't remove them.

oh, and please give hunter087 for the credits (hint, don't write my name on the file)
