Half-Life 1

This is the README for the Half-Life 1 engine and its associated games.

Please use this repository to report bugs and feature requests for Half-Life 1 related products.

Reporting Issues

If you encounter an issue while using Half-Life 1 games, first search the issue list to see if it has already been reported. Include closed issues in your search.

If it has not been reported, create a new issue with at least the following information:

  • a short, descriptive title;
  • a detailed description of the issue, including any output from the command line;
  • steps for reproducing the issue;
  • your system information.*; and
  • the version output from the in-game console.

Please place logs either in a code block (press M in your browser for a GFM cheat sheet) or a gist.

* The preferred and easiest way to get this information is from Steam's Hardware Information viewer from the menu (Help -> System Information). Once your information appears: right-click within the dialog, choose Select All, right-click again, and then choose Copy. Paste this information into your report, preferably in a code block.

Conduct

There are basic rules of conduct that should be followed at all times by everyone participating in the discussions. While this is generally a relaxed environment, please remember the following:

  • Do not insult, harass, or demean anyone.
  • Do not intentionally multi-post an issue.
  • Do not use ALL CAPS when creating an issue report.
  • Do not repeatedly update an open issue remarking that the issue persists.

Remember: Just because the issue you reported was reported here does not mean that it is an issue with Half-Life. As well, should your issue not be resolved immediately, it does not mean that a resolution is not being researched or tested. Patience is always appreciated.

Building the SDK code

Visual Studio 2019 is required to build mod DLLs on Windows. In the Visual Studio installer, install "Desktop development with C++" under "Workloads" and "C++ MFC for latest v142 build tools (x86 & x64)" under "Individual components". VS2019 projects can be found in the projects\vs2019 folder.

Tools have not yet been updated for VS2019, but can be built using the VS2010 projects in the projects\vs2010 folder. See the readme.txt file there.

Linux binaries can be built using Makefiles found in the linux folder. They expect to be built / run in the Steam Runtime "scout" environment. The built binaries are copied to a directory called game at the same level as the root directory for the git repository. You can set CREATE_OUTPUT_DIRS=1 while building to create the output directory structure automatically.
