Run. Think. Shoot. Live. Source. Black Mesa is the Half-Life 2 total conversion of the original Half-Life game. Utilizing the Source engine and its endless array of possibilities and powers, Black Mesa will throw you into the world that started the Half-Life continuum and introduced Gordon Freeman to the world as a gun-toting, bullet-dodging Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics.
Part 2 of 2. Instructions: Once part 1 and 2 have been downloaded rename the files to include this format blackmesa.zip.001 for part one and blackmesa.zip.002 for part 2. Extract and copy files into sourcemods/BMS in your steamapps directory.
I'm so happy this mod has been released! Can't wait to play it! And the download link is trolling me, I'll have to wait! I hope I'll not need to wait for long! <3
Hello everyone, just letting you know I have updated the install instructions since there is some confusion on how to compile the packages. If you can please upvote so everyone can see how to fix it.

i did that, it gave me another file called blackmesa.zip .... and i cant extract this one... says "canot open it as a file"
me too
@Henley After reading your comment and trying various other ways to get the files working I still have to ask...How do you install it?
I found a way to extract that file but :/
It says zip header broken and one file is corrupt, a sound file.
And whn i play it is all mute excpt by ambience ounds... no talks, no ground-walking ssounds, etc... :(
To install is pretty simple, Extract everything, rename the root folder to "BMS", and put it inisd the folder sourcemods from your steam folder.
Like this:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\bms
But the issue with me is that i think my files got corrupted while downloading :( Im downloading again from torrent and playerattack website since both are a single zip file...
How did you extract it, I cant get anything to work
Look for Izarc, is a file extractor just as winrar,7zip, etc. When you try to extract using it, it says : "Bad header file, continue to extract anyway?" Then you chose yes and is all done :)
My steps:
-Rename Part 1 to = blackmesa.zip.001
-Rename Part 2 to = blackmesa.zip.002
-Extracted using Izarc on file number 1 and it gave me another zip file called blackmesa.zip
-Extracted this another zip file (blackmesa.zip) using Izarc and i got the files, but with a header error and a sound file corrupt, and for some reason all the game is mute ...
Im downloading again u-u
I keep getting the same issues with no resolution. Wish they could have used a more conventional method honestly cause I was looking forward to playing this tonight,
I had same idea :(
i coundt play it last night.
But i left the torrent downloading the whole night and it finished by this morning ^^
i recommend you using it cause it has an installer, you just double click it and it will extrcat the files and install on th correct place automatically :)
Now is time for some nostalgia ;D
i reply again if i get ome other issues
Thanks I'll try that route.
I had no issues until now :D
OMG ;w; it is like a dream becoming true playing it,
the "game of the year" (again) for sure :D
Make a donate button, those guys deserve it
I have 7-zip, thank you for your reply, but I found out what I did wrong. Use 7-zip to extract here on all files, not one in particular, and it should work
Yes, yyou right, im glad you managed to make it work; and i really got a corrupt file, but i managed to grab the correct one and right now im at the part where you send a rocket to the space :)
Enjoy it!!
WinRAR Archiver
win.rar should work for you.
did my friend tell me bms use source mod?
Everything ok, but while I am downloading part 2... The WinRar is saying to me the archive is unable to read, or corrupted.
I have the most simple way to extract these file.
First, download FFSJ to join the file toghether, then you will get blackmesa.zip
Then use 7zip to extract that zip file.
NO MORE CORRUPT!
What about Winrar?
yup the link is trolling me too :P damn it
Here's hoping it works now...
Ah come on.... the link isn't working. I guess i can wait a little while longer. LOL
Well, part 1 downloading gives me time to wait for part 2
10 hours on part 1. The servers are being raped!
2 days here.
I only have to wait 1.
4 days
nevermind 11 days...
-.- part 1 takin 11 days, part 2, 13 minuts...
well at least it finished 4 years ago
I have to wait 60 hours or more..
lol 15 mins for me
yes i know this comment is old
(buried)
Is this the XEN part???
Xen doesn't have boxes, it has BARRELS!!!!!
Xen part won't be redy untill some time next year.
That was taken and shorten from what I read on there main page.
So play Black Mesa untill you raech the Lambda Core and finish part one of the game and play it again on a harder difficulty.
Cause for me it's hard enough on easy, and that's saying something.
wrong comment from 2012 it came in 2019
Oh my god my testicles can't resist anymore!
yea getting pretty raped here with the servers...16 hours on the download lol gettin a feeling i wont play till tomorrow xD good job for finally getting this out. it looks ******* amazing!!! cant wait for the download to finish.
there are no mirrors appearing. Just a video.
Gamefront.com
For those that are having a hard time getting it to work.
Thanks.
6 days for part 2 and 5 hours for part 1 i may wait untill tommorow
part 1 is 30 minutes for me and part 2 5 minutes
smart people would download part two as it is less crowded also giving time for part one to become less, just saying
can't seem to extract both archives.Is anyone else having this problem?:D
I'm getting "Windows can't open the folder" after waiting for 5 hours, what is this I don't even.
Click save as, not open. If you dont have winzip or 7-zip, you cant open these, and these programs cant open these types of zip files anyway
Yeaaah Buddy servers downloading part 1 at 20 mins!
It needs to be on Desura
I'm already trying to use Desura and it's f**king up at every turn. I'm beginning to think this isn't worth it.
