Alot of people are getting a small problem with their mods;
The Error: Could not load library client
The Problem: Source SDK didn't copy two .dll's to your mod directory for it to work.
The Solution: go into your half-life 2 bin folder (example: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\
there will be two dll's inside, 'client.dll' and 'server.dll'. copy them then go into your mod directory
under your source mods directory. create a folder called 'bin' and paste the two dll's inside.
Now please stop emailing me about it!
He's got ants in his pants!
btw nice tutorial :)
Everytime i try to open it has an error saying c:\program files\steam\Steamapps\sourceMods\peciantsquest\gameinfo.txt is not a valid format.
And btw how come you didnt use the mod you used during the one you were making, you used a diffrent one
Same man.
I would like to point out my warning given to you throughout the whole video.
Make sure you always use notepad! Other text editors chop off a bit of the file to trim down the file size, this will make the file unreadable to the hl2 game engine.
I cant launch my mod! It says:
-Could not load library client
and then i shuts down and nothing happens...
Its probably because your using the orange box as your mods base. and you need it to be hl2 ep 1
credit goes to 'unkown soldier' for posting on the fix on the other tutorial.
problem: source sdk did not copy two .dll's to your mod directory for it to work.
solution: go into your half-life 2 bin folder (example: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life 2\hl2\bin)
there will be two dll's inside, 'client.dll' and 'server.dll'. copy them to your clip board and then go into your mod directory
under your source mods directory. create a folder called 'bin' and paste the two dll's inside.
hope this helps!
im having the same problem, it says could not load library client :(
other than that this was an excellent tutorial for an introduction in modding hl2 from the coding perspective, just what i needed :D
Thank you so much for that solution noh0pe4u. You saved my mod, lol.

didnt have to delete enything, but i had to create alot. why didnt mine work the way yours did?
