you are stupid. yea steam was the worst thing to ever happen to hl but get over it. only took me a day
and the only person with a program for hl2 mld files to hl1 is a persong who makes millions of dollars working for valve lol. and i doubt even they have such a program.
for some one to actually write a program for this they would have to have a lot of time on there hands.(2-4 years 3 hours a day) and im not kidding they would have to spend a lot of time decrypting the extra files needed with the hl2 mld file and then take the right data and then re compress it in mdl for hl.
guess what im a programer. guess what else it would take a year because of intense codding the reason why valve codded every thing that has to do with mdls for hl2 in about 3 months is because they have like 20 programers that work till like 8 am to 3-7 pm how do i know ive watched sevral the making of a game videos where they show a day in the making of a game and how long the team of 40 people work on the game (programers,modlers mappers game artist and sound effects people etc) and how long they work for depands on the company and how much money there getting payed. example some one who gets payed to make a game twice as much to make a game would probally work longer every day on the game then a comapny who pays half that.
and hey noob im one of those people who look threw 5000 google results trying to find someting and you wouldent know how many goodies i find on like the 100th page lol.
just gotta be patient.and who knows mabey some dumb ass with no life really did wast 4 years of his life on such a program. searching google takes patients.
