Hello i want to know how i can get the hl2 beta map packs working with the mega build

1. Find the Map pack you like on the download section [2001 MP, 2001-2002 MP, 2002 MP]
 1a. The 2001 Map Pack should already be in the Mega Build.
2. After downloading, you have to open them with a program like WinRAR or 7zip. Inside, there should be a folder. Put that folder to where you have the hl2.exe file [Not the hl2 folder].
3. After that's done, run ModLauncher.exe and select the Map Pack you want to play from the drop-down menu and click start.

Hopefully I helped.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

The torrent link is down.

Not sure what's wrong with it yet. You can try other download mirrors meanwhile.

I don't mean to make a fuss about this, but I'm getting a "This site can’t be reached envlightrutracker.tk took too long to respond." message when I go there.  If you don't know whats going on, then I guess the problem is on my end.  Also, I'll try out the other mirrors.

You are actually doing a great job restoring HL2 Leak.

So I noticed the sniper was listed under weapons in the files and tried to use the npc_create_equipment command and nothing showed up in the hands of the npc I was using to see if it works. Am I entering a command wrong or do I have to do something else to get it to work? (I used the 2001 combine elite, also I don't understand these things very well)

the mega build is simply too large for my computer.
Can anyone help?

[cheesytheartist]

you can delete all of the files of it, that worked for me

[GasMaskedCitizen]

just delete the entire folder containing the beta

Is it possible to use maps from 2002 with Source 2006?
If not, how can they be ported to a retail version of the Source engine along with some assets?

I recently got the Half Life 2 Beta Mega Build (as in recently, I mean today) and the installation was fine, but when I launch the Beta, the window is way too large for my monitor, and the window only displays a small portion of the screen, so I can't fix it by going to options and changing the resolution. I would appreciate help. Also, I'm not very tech savvy, so if you give instructions, could you put them in layman's terms?

You need to npc_create_equipment, and then npc_create

You need to port them all manually (except textures):  models - with model decompile/compile; maps - with either already shipped vmfs, or decompiling

You need to run the game with "-w 800 -h 600 -windowed" command-line parameters from ModLauncher

Something odd suddenly happened on the 2003 Storyline maps. I was still using the same installation I always had, but for whatever reason, screens like the Breencast and contacting Kleiner are now just black. I tried a complete reinstall, and downloaded the latest LeakNet 1.0 update, but the screens still don't work. I haven't played since quite a while, so I don't even know if it broke with a Windows 10 update, or when.

Additional issue noted on the 2001-2002 Mappack, I was playing the Hazard map, and now dialogue randomly gets cut off. Again, never happened before.
