FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! Created 17 years ago2006-08-21 11:57:07 UTC by The Hermit

I'm trying to create a Single Player Mod with new characters that say new things.

I been using: Create a Mod > Modify HL2 Single Player (and once Start a Mod from scratch)

1) The 3D camera view set to textured comes up black until I:
Check for Problems > Go to error
Then, I can see it.

2) But even with a room of just 6 brushes, a light and an info_player_start it crashes I get:
MountAppFilesystem()failed: failed with error 21: A different version of this FS is already in use.

I have deleted local content, refreshed it and reset the game configurations. I've even un/reinstalled HL2, and tried formating my c: drive, although that was a while ago.

After several days of that and finding others with similiar problems, I figured the update had errors. So I tried getting models into the modelviewer. But the modelviewer only reads the GFC files. So, I got GFCscape, but it doesn't import, so I got Blender, but that needs an add-on, and it's link was invalid. I also tried XSI, but I think I have to go to school to learn how to use it. I'm using models like the Fisherman in Lost Coast and Odell in the Beta version. I still have to figure out how to get them in my mod, but first thing first.

After several days of that I tried Face Poser. I installed MS Speech SDK5.1, but whenever I try to re-extract or redo extraction, it crashes. I can reload it and open up the myfile_work.wav, but the option to Commit isn't there, so I can't make the model lip sync. I wondered in my wavs weren't formatted properly, so I tried HL2 wavs and they do work, but it still crashes when I re-extract.

After several days of that, I tried to get help from HL2World. But they still haven't sent my an email to register so I can login. So I'm trying here and I accidently backed to the previous screen and lost my first plea for help and had to retype this all over again.

So, is it possible for me personally to create a mod, or should I just throw away my computer and become a worm farmer or something?

please be gentle, I had a rough week

You need a decompiler, such as "Cannonfodders" google it (might be wrong spellt)

After update bug, I also get it, it didn't occour before.

You shouldn't give up the idea, sure, you could keep trying (or search for a solution)
But if I were you, I would have waited for the next update where all of these bugs probably will be fixed, even though being a worm farmer seems tempting.
