in answer to your replies at
http://www.mgforums.com/forums/showt...t=35014&page=7

1. i waited for 20 mins and it doesn't load up, it jams up

2. hl2 works fine:grinangel the problems are with css:graysigh:

3. i added -dev and the same happens but it doesn't matter

reinstalled css with the off-line installer from scratch
it comes up with wrong filesystem_stdio.dll version
added the sengine update and the graphics are all screwed up

Did you install your CSS over your HL2 installtion? or HL2 over css?
What do you mean with "Graphics screwed" ? Have a pic?
One more question, what shows your css-console?

[martyn95_uk]

i installed the css over hl2:uhoh:
will need to add sengine again, will post the pic and console soon

@martyn95_uk

Did you correct the "BaseDir"-path (in "steamemu.ini") after patching, as stated in my SemTheX FAQ?

Yes... :blacraz

I finaly got broadband, with flatrate all night. :run: :run: :run:

I took my 56K PCI modem, and a hammer... you know what I did.:grayyes:

Okay so here is my Question:

I still want to use PjsPliff's method, andI want to update my GCF files.
So what is the best way to update my GCF files???

Use Steam, rly there is no other (since .gcf-Files can only be modified by steam)
My method just keeps the extracted .gcf up to date.

[kv0703x5]

HI:rednone:

Thanks for reply PjsPliff(You Rule) :dance:

Now I just have one simple question.

I downloaded the newest GCF files.
Extracted them with GCFScape 1.30 to my root folder.
Now I have S.Engine v2547, your last was v2545 and in v2545 there was a new CS:S Menu background with a silenced gun. Then when I updated to
v2547 there was this old menu background with two Counter Terrorists(Attached).

What is the official one?

Thanks.

hi pjspliff
I downloaded your comlete "package", but i keep getting the error message "unable to load Filesystem_steam.dll". I have changed the shortcut to "-steam" and "-steam -game hl2" but nothing seems to work. I have the Game of the year edition maybe that is the problem?
I would realy appreciate your help.
At the moment I am playing HL2 so all my .gcf files are updated but I am running it on a 2.7ghz, 512mb ram, Radeon 9550 128mb, so I realy dont need steam running in the back.
Thnx

The official bg is this with the 2 guys you've posted

@Capman
What exactly steps did you perform and what patches did you apply?
Also, did you read my "Semthex_FAQ" and "HL2 Offl. TuuuT"?

Propably valve did change the decryption-key in the goty version of hl2 :/

Is there a link to this 2547 version? All the ones I can find are 2545.

Thanks

Hi

No it's not a link for it.

But if you have a high speed internet connection, (I got one last week ) you can use "Steam" or "UniLauncher II standalone client" and move your GCF's (make sure to rename the GCF's to (picture included)) to the "steamapps" folder and then update with the program you're using, and
extract them to your "root" folder with "GCFScape 1.31".

That's the way I did. Works fine.

But remember to keep updated

Link: "GCFScape 1.31": http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/fil...cfscape131.exe (Required: NET Framework v1.1)

[martyn95_uk]

sorry for the later reply internet probs:enforcer:
forgot to add the correct "BaseDir"-path (in "steamemu.ini")
have corrected that now and it still comes up with the navigation error which is followed by the 'your f***ed' error
the problems are still with css only
have not applied the sengine update, just css over hl2

[Pjspliff]

1. You use the wrong no steam emu, the one which is included in my little app is the" SemTheX no steam emu" (176kb and works with almost all hl2 mods).
2. You did copy your cstrike-folder into your hl2-folder? I rly hope not :erm:
3. Well if you can, i recommend you to apply my SE-Patch (it will you allow to play with bots in css and more)

Btw, i've updated my HL2-TuT again

Hi pjspliff
I used your program to extract the CGF Files from my allready playable HL2 CGF Files, then added your update (30.7mb), edited the steamemu.ini, and changed the shortcut. If I use Gizmas steam emulator I see the valve logo and a short loading screen, the i get the "Could not load library client." error.
But i have tried replacing my client.dll but it wont work. And I have red all of your Tuts. I have also tried the CGF Files from a new installation (not yet updated) but no luck.
thx

If your .gcf-Archives are updated, then you dont need to apply my patch.
Did you already try UniLauncher or similar?

I didn't include the map, because its about 15MB (map + de_nuke textures) and you also need the models and some textures from de_prodigy, cs_assault, de_train .

Lets see if i can make a package , but it will be big (>30mb?)

*Update: It will be very big, iam now at 73,6MB (de_nuke-ressource-list-file) and there are still missing textures, models and not even all sound-files are included, so i drop that.

To see the HDR-Effect, i recommend to wait till maps appear with hdr.
**Update: I've just located a map with HDR (de_mini_dust_hdr) ->

[gartlan]

whoa, thats a lot of files!!

thanks for the info (hl2world does not allow direct links)

[Pjspliff]

Mhm, did any1 test my se-patch with that map?

[dummy66]

I've updated my gcf-files with steam and unpacked them with pjspliff's offline installer. And hl2 runs perfectly. But I've no idea where I can start couterstrike: source, I've also unpacked it with the same tool, but I didn't find an exe-file.

Does anybody know how I can manage to play hl2 deathmatch without steam???

There is no exe for CS:S:grayshy:

It's verry simple just make a shortcut of hl2.exe and place it on your desktop.
Then right click on the shortcut - now it should stay like this:
C:\HL2(or whereever you installed it)\root\hl2.exe
Then just simply add this line: -steamlocal -game cstrike
So it should be like this:
C:\HL2(or whereever you installed it)\root\hl2.exe -steamlocal -game cstrike

Enjoy playing your new CS:S
