This repository contains scripts to generate a pak0.pak of
|
|
|
|
|
Half-Life that is identical to the one that ships on all original disc
|
|
|
|
|
pressings, when it still talked to the World Opponent Network
|
|
|
|
|
online service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Steam releases got rid of .pak files altogether, because they
|
|
|
|
|
(at one point) switched to .gcf archives. Since the SteamPipe update,
|
|
|
|
|
all files are now completely loose and enforcing file consistency is
|
|
|
|
|
impossible for source ports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These scripts within are stripping the content straight from installers
|
|
|
|
|
of demos and other official, free downloads.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will only build you a pak0.pak file that will pass server purity
|
|
|
|
|
checks so that you can play multiplayer via source ports and things.
|
|
|
|
|
This will not grant you a complete install of Half-Life. This will
|
|
|
|
|
not allow you to play Half-LIfe on Steam or by itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will still have to improvise where other loose files come from.
|
|
|
|
|
I've found some good substitutes. If you want it to be truly authentic,
|
2023-05-06 13:51:27 -07:00
|
|
|
please find a 1.0.0.5 or Game of the Year disc pressing of Half-Life
|
2023-05-06 13:37:28 -07:00
|
|
|
and rip the data yourself.

Getting started:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run `./start.sh` and wait a few minutes. Make yourself some tea/coffee.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to speed up the process, get these files off your NFS/NAS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hl1110.exe
|
|
|
|
|
hl_sdk_v23.exe
|
|
|
|
|
hluplink.exe
|
|
|
|
|
opfordemofull.exe,
|
|
|
|
|
steaminstall_halflife.exe
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and place them alongside this README file.

Script explanation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./build_tools.sh builds bmpfix, {hl,pak}extract, qfiles, rewise and
|
|
|
|
|
places them into ./_bin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./dl_sources.sh (no args) downloads and sha512 checks the install
|
|
|
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./rip_sources.sh (no args) extracts the files, and does trickery to
|
|
|
|
|
make 2 bad-CRC files work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./build_pak0.sh [gamedir] will read games/[gamedir]-pak0.sha256 and
|
|
|
|
|
assemble the pak0.pak
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./build_loose.sh [gamedir] will read games[gamedir.sha256 and finds
|
|
|
|
|
other desired loose files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./ccase.sh fixes case sensitivity issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the end result is placed into ./_build for you to copy wherever.
|
|
|
|
|
All the directories prefixed with '_' can be removed, as they're
|
|
|
|
|
created by the scripts.
