Gooofy's Half-Life Game Loader

HLGL is designed to support all mods, but mostly tested with DOD.

I just tried my HLGL with steam. It works, but not completely compatible.

As LISTEN server...

  1. Make sure the issue with liblist.gam file is out of the way (details).

  2. I copied HLGL.EXE, and RIPENT.EXE into my folder
     E:\Steam\SteamApps\gooofy60@hotmail.com\day of defeat\

  3. Started hlgl.exe

  4. Set exec to point to
     E:\Steam\SteamApps\gooofy60@hotmail.com\day of defeat\hl.exe

  5. Ran it as listen server, with some custom maps.

  The things that won't work correctly are:

   a. The list of official maps (which do NOT appear in dod\maps\ folder) will NOT show up in the HLGL map cycle list.
      A possible fix to this is to copy the map files (dod_caen.bsp...etc) from your dedicated server folder into here.

   b. to be continued...

As DEDICATED server...
  1. Make sure the issue with liblist.gam file is out of the way (details).

  2. I copied HLGL.EXE, and RIPENT.EXE into my folder
     E:\HLServer\

  3. Started hlgl.exe

  4. Set exec to point to
     E:\HLServer\hlds.exe

  5. In "Command Line" menu, check "Dedicated?" ON. Click "Save".

  6. In "Server Configuration" menu, add to the "Extra Variables" box....
           log on
     Click "Save".

  7. In "Bot Setup" menu, "Fill server with bots?" doesn't work.
     So use "Number Bots" instead.
     Click "Save".

Thanks.
