Old version of Half-Life 2, Pre-Orange Box/steampipe update. Read description.
Can run most of old smod version (Tactical, Outbreak, etc...)
To run Smod on Steam version of HL2 use Smod Redux Final or Smod Redux Standalone
Google Drive link: Drive.google.com
Install this old version of HL2 then replace the hl2.exe file provided within the google drive folder. Icon file for Smod included.
Do not press "C" when the console is opened, this crash the game for some reason. You can workaround this by typing [Any other lettter]cl_drawhud 0 for example, then delete the letter in the front.
This old version of Source does not support "custom" folder or any models that compiled post Orange Box update (no vpk)
Turn off/exit Steam or the game wont start.
what smods can this run?
yes
what the hell??
i think this is a patch that make the game run the old engine before orange box update that let you play old smod mod properly
i got this error "failed to load the launcher DLL" do you have any idea
What did you do
do you have half life 2 on steam?
u kinda accidently deleted an wrong file i think

I added SMOD to sourcemods and applied the patch before pasting the old engine files into the directory, did I do it wrong?
If you want to run smod on Steam use Smod Redux Standalone
followed all instructions and i got this error "V_MakeAbsolutePath: tried to ".." past the root."
Open smod_elite folder > gameinfo.txt > delete everything inside it then replace with this:
"GameInfo"
{
game "SMOD Forte Elite"
title "SMOD Forte Elite"
type "singleplayer_only"
developer "Onemanshow, The SMOD Author and Others"
developer_url "http://sites.google.com/site/smodredux/home"
"icon" "game"
FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 215 // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
ToolsAppId 211 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
SearchPaths
