Right, so i'm off for a few days working in the country, work by day, play Half-life 2 and Counter Strike 1.6 by night (i hope)

My question, needing confirmation really is what files do i need to burn.

I have the steam installer, i need the source .gcfs (WHICH ONES?!?!) and for CS 1.6 (what files do i need for this also?) I assume i need the Half-life 1 files for CS to work as well.

Oh and i want the updates for HL2 and CS1.6 too, so i don't need to download them. Where can these files be found.

Anyone confirm what files i need to be burning i will be eternally grateful :)
 
You need to burn:
source materials.gcf
source models.gcf
source sounds.gcf
source engine.gcf
half-life 2 content.gcf
half-life engine.gcf
counter-strike.gcf
For updates you have to burn folders "your_acc/half-life 2" "your_acc/counter-strike" "your_acc/half-life"(not sure about this one)
 
Do i need half-life.gcf as well as half-life engine.gcf? And are you sure the updates are in those folders? They seem to just be files within the .gcfs?
 
With a UDF file-system DVD (7.54GB) can't you win RAR the whole Steam directory and burn it to the DVD?

I need this answer, i have to leave very soon.

And i cant do that Lahire because the computer im going to be using has limited hard drive space, only HL2 and CS on it will be fine, just i hope. (assuming someone helps) Anyway im only using a single (4.7gb dvd) or i may need two.

I really need answers soon!
 
I think you need both of the gcf's, i'm not sure bout the updates though. They should be included in the gcf's, but i'm not positive.
 
Hello this is Glenn from hertfordshire in the country, i burnt all those 3 .gcfs you lot are too slow. Im going to try them shortly, im not expecting the updates to me with them, but if they are, bonus!

I'm on work experience, should be good fun...so i'll cya around hopefully, but alot less.
