This is an incredibly simple tutorial, which explains how to manually install Half-Life 2 mods, which don't come with an auto installer. This tutorial is only designed to act as a guide, if you run into any difficulties - please see the readme / instructions which came with the mod, or contact the team who made the mod.

I think the self-promotion is a wee bit too much for a simple few steps no?
good point, changed it down a little
I think I should write an alternate tutorial for non-Steam HL2 versions.
Much better, much more like in HL 1.x...
thank you for this tutorial it was very useful

i did that, but no mods in My games. i tried gmod9 and smod but nothing hapens! Please for help, for all of us!
oh, come on! we need help... and happy new year!
What if I've installed the mod, restarted Steam, seen the game in My Games list, and then, upon trying to play it, instead have Half-Life 2 itself load up and completely ignore the mod? This has happened to me with 3/4ths of the mods I've downloaded here.
It gives me an error pls help me... Mount file system (309) Failed:.... Pm me if you know fix for this....
its done the same thing to me can you help me??
non-steam sucks
GRRRRRR! ITS NOT WORKING! i am trying to install Earth special forces but it still doesn't work!
Cheers man, saved me HOURS of searching
HL2 Mods on Library won't show up for me, its like only show mods that we can find on Steam Store like> Awakening,The Hidden: Source etc...
can someone help me? you can find a way to help me or make this for me:
get the "Gameinfo" of a HL2 Mod that You(We) Can find on Steam STORE (that show Download or VisitWebsite of mod) like Synergy,Awakening,ZombiePanicSource,TheHidden, just one of these, give me the Gameinfo for me to download and i just edit the name inside the Gameinfo for the Mod name, please i swar to god i want play these mods i still got but my internet is so slow i dont want to download mods over 50MB again, my internet is like 50Kbps
thx i just fixed aproblem on steam mods it was on D drive not on C
i dont have the bg2-svn file in the sourcemods file, Help? please
i would greatly appreciate it
That's because that's a folder for a mod, it's only the sourcemods folder you need.
@ silentkillzr:
mate, it is a pretty poor show when you can't reply to the many posts here on this thread. the majority of them need some form of help!
1) step 5 was ambiguous to me, personally.
"Copy All Files To The Above Folder ( usually a readme of what files! )"
the 'above' folder in question is the 'sourcemods' folder, yes?
what does this mean?
the above folder (sourcemods) is a "readme of what files"?
or
the extracted 'gstring' folder is a "readme of what files"?
that doesn't make sense to me. i found the sentence confusingly worded.
i have only just recently installed steam, so my 'sourcemods' folder was empty, but by your description, i thought i should be seeing a 'readme' file in the sourcemods folder telling me about "what files", or whatever that means.
2)
it would be common sense to to think about having your images in the tutorial showing an empty sourcemods folder for template clarification purposes, or at the very least, an explanation detailing exactly where the new mod needs to go specically.
you mentioned "copying all the files to the above folder".
the image displays TWO folders:
sourcemods
and:
bg2-svn
some posters (including myself!) were very confused by this.
were we supposed to copy all the files into the main sourcemods directory, or into the 'bg2-svn' folder?
again. not very clearly explained.
don't get me wrong!
myself and others very much appreciate anyone taking the time to create a tutorial to help newcomers, but:
a)
you need to make the steps a LOT clearer
and:
b) you really must attempt to REPLY to these people!
cheers!
baz.
