Well, as some of you have found out, the
newest Half-Life patches (starting with
version 1.1.0.0) break HL-GUN!-. Essentially Valve completely
revamped much of the HL internals, and so older mods need to
be rewritten with their new SDK (Software Development
Kit).
Unfortunately this would take a lot of
work, and I'm totally focused on my own project right now, so
HL-GUN!- probably won't be updated.
If
you want to keep playing it, your only option right now is to
a) don't update HL to anything higher than
1.0.1.6 (reinstall if you've gone higher), or
b) install a second copy of Half-Life, and
patch it no higher than 1.0.1.6. Of
course if you play online, option a) doesn't
work, as you tend to need the latest patch to play on servers
...
You can get older patches from various
versions to others here:
If
you're going from a clean install, I recommend the patch from
1.0.0.5
to 1.0.1.6. Plus there's a 'fix'
to 1.0.1.6 there that I don't remember, but is probably worth
installing.
For the adventurous amongst you trying to
conserve disk space, you should be able to remove the large
288meg pak0.pak file (found in the
Valve directory) from your original install,
then install HL a second time, and copy this file amongst the
two installs, depending on which you want to run (this
should work as I don't think this file is ever
changed by a patch - it works with Quake2,
but I haven't tested it in
HL).
