How to Play Half-Life 2 Mods from MODDB Through Steam
Рет қаралды 38,526
Жыл бұрынI’ve had some requests on how this is done on a few of my mod retrospective videos so here's how to download and play half life mods from moddb through steam
MODDB Website -
www.moddb.com/...
Step 1. Make sure you have half life 1, 2 or the respective episodes installed for the mods to work.
Step 2. Make sure you have Source SDK Base 2006, 2007, and or 2013 installed, you can find it by clicking on your games tab, clicking on tools, then search "sdk base" to download them all.
Step 3. Download mods through moddb such as through the city, then drag and drop it into your sourcemods folder located in steam apps. Its important that this is dropped into your C drive or wherever steam is installed on your computer.
Step 4. restart steam and enjoy your mods!

I like this guy because another guy said you needed on the c file and he wanted me to put my Half-Life 2 download on the c file

Nothing I do seems to work, I downloaded entropy: zero uprising and I already had entropy: zero 1 and I did everything and it doesn’t show up. I also tried half life: echoes and it doesn’t work. I downloaded all sdk bases even the original half life one and nothing. I’ve done everything that was explained.

I have an external hard drive and had planned on installing all the games on the base drive where steam is. I thought I could get away with just installing the mods on the hard drive and playing it off there, but I guess not. Even tried to make a similar file in the same location but on the hard drive, but I might still try it.

I don't know why you said to have Half-Life 1 installed lol, you don't need it to install source mods. Aside from that this is a reliable guide, buut... YOU HAVE TO SET SDK SINGLEPLAYER 2013 TO BETA IN PROPERTIES Hope this is helpful (: (Also it's kinda obvious but you have to "exit" steam in the top left dropdown menu, under 'steam' which will fully close it)

@@OfclOmega Hmm, well after putting them in your sourcemods folder and fully restarting steam SHOULD make them appear in your library alongside your other steam games. Otherwise I'm not sure sorry ):

ive been wanting to play uprising for a bit now but for whatever reason i havent been able to get it to work at all. everything seems to have installed right and i followed the steps from multiple tutorials trying to get things to work but so far it just refuses to show up in steam. the game does look really good though
@MouldyFishSticks Жыл бұрын
Probably heard this before but it's a mod of entropy zero 1 so you would need that installed
@MouldyFishSticks Жыл бұрын
It's not a mod of half life 2 so even if half life 2 and the episodes installed uprising won't show up in your library unless you install entropy zero 1 from the steam store as well

Same here. I absolutely cannot get this mod to work for some reason. Did you figure out a fix?

Have you set SDK 2013 to beta? (Oh and as MouldyFishSticks said, have Entropy Zero 1 installed)

If you put all the files you want in Sourcemods, then just make sure SDK Singleplayer 2013 is set to Beta in properties.

You straight up lied my dude. I tried installing "Half-Life: Field intensity" your way by putting the extracted filles into the sourcemods folder, wich didn't work so I oppened the README. Turns out you have to put the extracted folder in the Half-Life folder wich worked perfectly!

Yeah I don't know why he included HL1 mods, it's a different process lol.
@Felix-Felix 9 ай бұрын
He didn't lie at all, that's how pretty much every half life 2 mod works. Your mod is for Half Life 1 and sometimes they have this weird way of installing it because it was not the same engine.

So I did this and it didn't show up in steam. I took all the files and folders out of the original folder it created when extracted and put them directly in the source mods folder and it shows up kind of as a black icon that says half life two and says it's a mod in the description (in my steam library) but when I click launch it says the game info.txt is the wrong type of file or something so I don't know wtf to do. I can tell I'm close but something is off because I followed these directions to the T
