Additional information

I finally managed to make Half-Life: Before run via Xash3D FWGS v0.19.2 thanks to Spirit of Half-Life (SoHL) mod. It tuns out HL:B was made with SoHL.

https://www.moddb.com/mods/spirit-of-half-life

Steps: 1) Download and extract xash3d_fwgs_linux_0.19.2.tar.xz: https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d/releases

2) Copy ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/valve folder into xash3d_fwgs_linux_0.19.2 directory.

3) Download and extract halflife_before1.1.zip: https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-before/downloads/half-life-before-full-version-11

4) Extract the .zip, copy before folder into xash3d_fwgs_linux_0.19.2 directory.

5) Download and extract "Spirit of Half-Life 1.2 crossplatform v1.0.1" release: https://www.moddb.com/mods/spirit-of-half-life/downloads/spirit-of-half-life-12-crossplatform

6) Copy .../Spirit/cl_dlls/client.so and .../Spirit/dlls/spirit.so to .../before/cl_dlls and .../before/dlls directories respectively.

7) Edit .../before/liblist.gam; change gamedll "dlls/spirit.dll" line as gamedll "dlls/spirit.so"

8) Launch Xash3D FWGS:

LC_ALL=C ./xash3d.sh -game before -dll dlls/spirit.so -clientlib cl_dlls/client.so

Do you have an example of this where you use the assets from the steam download instead of using moddb for the half-life before?

Also, for the sprint of half-life... moddb does not seem to work for downloading from the lux-client, since they require a browser session. Do you know another way of getting this download or another download that would work for this?

I found GitHub branch of SoHL 1.2:

https://github.com/nekonomicon/hlsdk-xash3d/tree/sohl1.2

Can this be compiled and used instead?

Edit: I confirm that Steam version of HL:B also works with Xash3D FWGS v0.19.2 + SoHL 1.2.

d10sfan commented 3 years ago

I'm hesitant to compile hlsdk-xash3d and host those binaries, so another source would be preferred.

rea987 commented 3 years ago

I shall reupload pre-compiled Mod DB version of SoHL 1.2 to archive.org if that's all right for you.

d10sfan commented 3 years ago

Yes, I think that should be ok.

I notice "May need to create hl.exe file inside installed directory for Steam to launch game." information in the package list. Creating a dummy text file named hl.exe within ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life solves the launch issue. Can't this be included in the script?

d10sfan commented 3 years ago

No, because this issue happens before luxtorpeda is able to be launched. It's happening inside steam during the launch process, so it requires some manual action to fix.
