Where are my files???!! Created 18 years ago2006-09-08 18:19:25 UTC by ChronosRox

I just reinstalled my Steam and downloaded CS 1.6 and HL, and I started configuring my Hammer, so I noticed that my Maps directory was missing! I downloaded fy_pool_day and it appeared, but the standard maps were missing yet. I ignored, but when I was adding the .wads, I notticed that the wads were missing too! I can't find it anywhere, that never happened! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Are you saying you're trying to find the original WADs that came with CS? You'll need to extract from the GCF with GCFScape, as you always do with Steam.

As for your custom maps, and all the WADs that came with them, it looks like they got deleted. You have to be sure to back all those files up before reinstalling Steam, because it clears out everything from the folders.

All official maps and wad files are in the GCF files. You can extract these with Jed's Half-Life model viewer. Google it.

GCFscape is a much better program for exploring GCF files. It can be found in slackiller's programs web site(search TWHL's link page)
