[syf2010]

To anyone wondering how to play multiplayer in HL2 Beta - try this method described by Snow 344

does this work on the latest build of leaknet?

I recommend that you use radmin, it is the same as hamachi but it has no user limit. Well, I will show you how to make the server for HL2 beta.
1) create a network in radmin
2) copy radmin ip
3) go to the bin folder of the hl2 beta folder and create a file called "hlds.bat" and copy this text without the quotes "start hlds.exe -port 27015 -ip yourradminip -insecure +map d1_trainstation_01 -console -game hl2 +maxplayers 32" and replace yourradminip with the ip you copied
4) run hlds.bat and there you will have your server (warning: it does not automatically go between the maps, you have to change the map from the window that opened)

and to connect

1) Log in to the network you created
you must share the network credentials that you created

2) Once you are logged in, click where an IP appears next to a shutdown button and select and copy the ip andress.

3) Enter the leaknet launcher and under the start hl2 beta button write "-console"

4) once in hl2 beta and put this command in terminal
connect yourradminip
"keep in mind that where your radminip goes you have to put your radmin ip"

and there you can play hl2 beta with your friends
(and in the command to create the server in the +map section you can enter a map that you want included downloaded from the community)

If you know how to do that, i would appreciate it because i honestly have never played hl2beta multiplayer.

I created one https://hl2-beta.ru/index.php?topic=29694.0

Hello, im a new account, and i wanted to ask if anybody knows how to make and join ONLINE (not lan) servers on the half life 2 mega beta build. This is probably a question that many other people have already asked, but idk to be honest.

Try using Hamachi.

for my server i using radmin

I am trying to find a way to make proper severs in hl2 beta if possible.

This *might* work. I don't really know the backend of how source game servers work, but I know they definitely communicate with steam, and on these older versions of halflife, steam would probably deny them as invalid, that is, if the game even has support for servers yet, as I don't think multiplayer support was very high on the development board. If you can somehow figure out how to make a dedicated server off of these versions, by all means, report back what you find, but with what I can tell, probably wouldn't work, if you could get a dedicated server running on your machine, on these version, you could probably connect to it yourself, but outsiders most likely wouldn't be able to, due to steam communications either being a). Invalid because of game version or b). being non-existent in the beta versions.

Leaknet actually has a dedicated server mode (hlds.exe) so you could very easily run a beta server in the same way that you would run a server for any other source game. The only difficult part of it would be making sure that everyone is using the same version of the game.

i wish there was people who unironically played the beta multiplayer lol

I could try so I will make a leak net sever for a couple hours in hl2 2001.

Started the sever

I am having a problem with multiplayer, every time i look at a player or a player joins my game works for a few seconds but then it breaks the game, so I have to restart my computer to make it work for a few times. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Edit:
wait i fixed it, the problem was caused by the metro police player model so don't use it.

[PunishedVatti]

What are some things that people should know abt multiplayer? Like what are the commands to change playermodel etc

[claau.sgv]

i want to play e3 2003 with some players but i dont know how pls someone help me also theres someother methods but those dont work

[claau.sgv]

can multiplayer hl2 beta also work on the e3 2003 demo

[(AverageHl2BetaEnjoyer4)]

you have to get someone to host a sever on the same internet as yourself
