how to set up cs 1.6 for steam Created 7 years ago2016-09-05 11:25:45 UTC by Invader4000

The article http://twhl.info/tutorial.php?id=33 is outdated and it's for the won version, and it's also for the old retail of counter-strike. I want to set it for Steam.

How to set up hammer to work with Counter-Strike? I have no cstrike.exe and i don't know what to set in the game configuration tab. Especially because the article http://twhl.info/tutorial.php?id=33 is for the won version of half-life and the retail for cs...

I'm generally confused...

The Steam versions of all GoldSource games runs as a mod for Half-Life now adays. Instead of cstrike.exe, you should use Half-Life's hl.exe.

cs is a mod of hl, just use the counterstrike.fgd or whatever its called

You're going to want a newer fgd than the halflife-cs.fgd. A better one more than likely came packaged with your Hammer install. When I downloaded Hammer 3.5 it came with cs_expert-tom793c_wc35.fgd so check to see if you have an updated fgd (in fact, I think it defaults to choosing this fgd when you choose the Counter-Strike configuration in 3.5 iirc but I set it up a while ago so I can't remember for sure).

Game executable directory:
Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life

Mod directory:
Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\cstrike

Game directory:
Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\valve

The RMF directory is a folder of your choosing. Wherever you want to save your .rmf map files (editable, non-compiled maps).

Edit: Obviously you're going to want the full directory addresses, I just started it at the Steam folder because the rest will depend on where you installed Steam.

Oh okay. Thank you guys so much! My Half-life configuration was already set but i got confused when setting CS.

And the default cs fgd was named "halflife-cs.fgd" so i guess i'll find the tom fgd one.

Thanks to all the peeps who replied!
