Half life error - Can't load saves Created 15 years ago2009-08-25 10:33:45 UTC by barney99

I just installed the diamond pack for Half-Life, and whenever I try to load a game, it stays at the menu and this shows up in the console:

Host_Error: PF_precache_model_I: Bad string

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks.

My only guess is to uninstall the Diamond pack and maybe put all the models in one by one, and keep testing them, to figure out what ones are the problems.

Well, I took out all of the models, except for the player models, and the sounds and sprites. Same problem. When I take out the player models, the game crashes when I try to load.

Weird...

The Diamond Pack is the biggest waste of time ever. Most of the models chosen were really weird, the scientists all look like they're wearing lipstick. Most of the skins aren't UV mapped properly and you can see the seams and it seems to be riddled with bugs for some reason. I'm fairly sure there was no need for any coding. :rly:

Alright, I'll just get rid of it, it sounds like it's causing way to much stress for its worth.. Thanks for the help

I agree...the sprites were sometimes buggy...i only used the weapon models to replace the old ones. I learnt never directly install a Hi-Def pack straight into you Half-Life folder...one last pack I installed for CS corrupted my executable

I created a mod folder for it.

I also have a mod folder for testing models, and another for HD models, and one I made just for the Turnstile Blitz rifle.
So I have 4 flavours of HL
