You can get HalfLife 2, episode 1, Episode 2, Portal and TeamForetress (althought I personally thing TF is a waste of time) in whats known as the orange box. But, don't what ever you do buy it from steam as they will charge way more than its worth, the cheeky cnuts wants £14.99 for it.

 

you can get a copy of the orange box for £8 online -

 

- game.co.uk

- amazon.co.uk

 

All you need is the Steam client and the Source SDK (which the client will download automatically and both of which are free.

Is the UK import different from the German version?

Another Mirror: http://www.chip.de/d...a_57528457.html (1.2 MB/s)

 

@Tels: Source SDK 2007 is enough to play.

 

Never heard of that and it looks like you need Steam for it?

Looking at the box shots it looks the same, that one for €11.99 looks is the closest to the UK price.

 

Hah, just read this in the reviews:

 

Aber jetzt zur Schattenseite:

Erstens sollte man DIESE Version der Orange Box NICHT KAUFEN, da sie sehr geschnitten ist (Blut ist grau, Leichen verschwinden sofort).

Besser man besorgt sich die Box aus Amerika bzw. England, die sind ungeschnitten (und man kann sie in STEAM auf deutsch stellen :))

 

Now to the bad part:

First: Don't buy THIS version. It is cut (blood is grey, bodies vanish immidiately).

Better buy the box from US or UK, these are uncut (and you can then use "German" in Steam)

 

Seems the UK import might be better.

 

Now I just need lots of free time to play, and I don't have that :(

So assuming I have the Orange Box and Steam installed, do I just download this thing and it will install?

 

Actually, what's even more important -- is there a download app like for TDM? I am on a fairly unstable connection. "only getting 200kb/s", I wish!

You will need the Steam client to play Halflife2, then after you have got your copy of the orange box delivered just activate the CD key via your steam client.

yes, once the blackmesa download is down you just extract it to the "steam>steamapps>sourcemods" folder.

All you need is the Steam client and the Source SDK (which the client will download automatically and both of which are free.

Ah, here is why I can't play this :)

 

Maybe next year.

The wiki says you only need the SDK on Steam. The orange box isn't necessarily needed:

The only requirement to play Black Mesa is to have Source SDK Base 2007 installed on Steam. If you don't have it installed when you try to launch Black Mesa, Steam will download it for you [3]. For more details, see the full list of System Requirements.

Yes, that was the whole point. Back Mesa Source was designed to be free to play (not Free2Play) for everyone.

It seems it does not run with Linux yet?

You mean, WINE cannot play it? I was quite sure it can play Half-Life 2, which uses the same engine as Black Mesa.

 

EDIT: Apparently, it can.

I read on the black mesa page that it only supports Windows, maybe just nobody has tried it yet. In any event, I probably need to upgrade my PC first, plus Steam comes to Linux somewhere later, anyway. Plenty of time to play it later. :)

I was unable to cimb up .

I Under stated just how totally and utterly useless the jumping and climbing is, its even worse than HL2. For the love of all things holy, I cant even fucking jump over a chair, or onto a pipe that I clearly need to be able to to get across the huge drop in front of me..

 

You'd think they would have fixed something as basic as this? I was forced to noclip untill I read on thier forum you have the crouch-jump... for the love of....

Yes, I was craving TDM quality mantling for a number of those "crouch jump" areas. If I knew you could noclip

in Source games I would've done it... hmm...

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
