Episode One and GMod Created 18 years ago2006-09-24 23:09:01 UTC by RotatorSplint

From what I've been able to learn by exploring the gmod9 directory, GMod uses .res files to execute scripts that use the other games' directories to load their maps. That's how the HL2 and CS:S maps are avalible, and now that I have my hot little hands on EP1, I want to load 'em up too.

So, I tried making one of these files (each file is identical save for the name) using an EP1 map name (ep1_citadel_00), but it wasn't avalible in the map list nor via the console.

My question? Is there a way to let GMod know that I have EP1, or is there some code someone knows of that I can insert into my scripts that will allow me to do this?

Thanks

Valve has not released the files for Episode 1 yet for public use. I brought this issue up trying to find its material directory. I assume its related to your problem too

what the hell are you on about?
the maps are in
half-life 2 episode one.gcf
and everything else is in
episode 1 shared.gcf
...fully openable and extractable in GCFScape...
and Episode One is in the SDK games list too...

He's talking about Hammer...

Anyway I believe there is a mod on facepunch forums that lets you do it...Check it.

er?

just take the .bsp files and put them in gmod/maps

Yeah but he would have to copy over the materials and models etc...Whereas a simple mod links it without adding more space.

Right. Plus, the .bsps are HDR, so they're BIG. It would soak up a lot of HD space to copy 'em all.

Also, Episode One isn't avalible in my SDK options list, nor is any of its content.

I'll have a look on facepunch and see if I can get the upgraded .lua scripts, thanks!

EDIT:
I got the patch, but the levels won't load. The icons in the maps menu appear, but the actual level never loads. Also, all the EP1 props from dont spawn. Anybody got it/know how to fix it?

Any idea of what the problem is?

There was a mod for that. U can find it at gmod wiki
