[Salsa]

hey'all, i wanted to mess around with half life 2 beta's source code for fun, but i can't install visual studio 6.0, or atleast get it to work with the source code. could anyone instruct me on how to get the proper working tools to work with half life 2 beta's source code?

Otherwise your only option is going with a already modified branch ( leaknet, tap ) or porting the code yourself to a newer VS platform.

Here's comprehensive instructions on what to download and how to pull and compile LeakNet code. LeakNet 2.0 fork was already ported onto newer VS by VXP.
