cant extract hl1 beta textures from hl:s Created 7 years ago2017-01-04 12:14:56 UTC by hfc

i learned half-life 1's beta textures contained in hl:s vpk's.

with hope of finding interesting stuff i tried to extract them frrom vpks, i guess they are in vpk files.

i wassnt know any source modding info. so i opened valve developer wiki to learn it. i tried stuff from there but no success. (vpk.exe hl_00whatever.vpk from cmd)

i tried with source sdk 2013's vpk.exe. and tried with that common sofware i guess it was called gcfscape. but no success. in gcfscape it only shows a folder called root, but i cant access in.

1) how to open hl:s' vpk

2) are textures of hl:s stored in these vpk's?

maybe those softwaresd wont work properly in windows10, maybe this is my problem but there arent any evidence for this.

If you are using GCFScape, make sure you are opening the vpk that has dir in the filename; otherwise it's just random data.

how to make vpk's dir in the filename, do you mean directory? i tried this now, but doesnt work, cant able to add dir to filename.

edit: hmm there is a file hl_000_dir.vpk, hmm works thank you very much

That's what I meant haha!

yes a bit odd but i remember some years ago we have to edit team fortress 2 models files little bit with notepad, for decompiling. otherwise it wont decompile. i guess it around 2008. and i dont know any source modding knowledge at all, really. i though you meant something like this
