Overview
As we all know, Half-Life: Source is a port of Half-Life to the source engine by Valve, and it’s buggy as hell. As the source engine was updated, so was Half-Life: Source, however, those updates brought more bugs than fixed them. BloodyMuffin from ModDB has made a mod which fixes the majority of the bugs, and this guide will show you how to install it.
Downloading the Half-Life: Source Fixed mod
To download the mod, go to this link, which will open up this page:
Click on the text “Half-Life: Source Fixed” under the files section and it should redirect you to the download page:
Once there, click on the red “Download now!” button and after a few seconds, it should start downloading a zip file.
Installing the mod
After the mod has downloaded, you’ll need to put it in your sourcemods folder. Navigate to where you have installed steam and go to steamapps > sourcemods, the path should look something like this:
Once you found your sourcemods folder, find where you downloaded the zip file and open it.
You should see a folder called “hls_fix”, click and hold on it, then drag it to the sourcemods folder.
(Ignore the MMOD files, they are from a different mod I downloaded for Half-Life 2)
Note: I was using WinRAR to extract the mod from the zip file, if you do not have WinRAR, that’s ok, it will look different to you, but would be basically the same proccess.
Launching the mod
Now that you have put the mod in your sourcemods folder, you will need to restart steam for it to appear in your library. On steam, look to the top left and you should see a tab “Steam”, click on it. Some options should show up, press on the last option “Exit” and steam should close. Wait a few seconds, then open steam again.
The mod should now be in your library, start it up and you have just installed the Half-Life: Source Fixed mod!
Some notes
– The mod isn’t fully finished yet and some bugs still remain, the creator is working on it.
– You won’t be able to change the FOV because of a bug in the mod, you should be able to when the mod is fully finished.
– Please report any issues with the mod installation down in the comments. For any bugs of the mod you find, report them at the mod page.
– Alternatively, you could use a modpack I made, Half-Life: Source Remastered. The instructions on how to install it are on a README text file that downloads with the modpack.
