Hi, I'm new to mapping half life :D

i was configing hammer (and i did it) but the only thing is, I cant find "halflife.wad" to put in the textures.

btw: using steam and its not where its suposed to be (...steamapps/[email protected]/halflife/valve)
 
The halflife.wad was only included in the old retail HL, now they use GCF files :)

Download GCFScape (google it) and look in halflife.gcf, it will be in there somwhere.
 
Actually it's in half-life.gcf in the SteamApps folder. You need to extract halflife.wad with GCFScape. Close Steam. Open GCFScape. Open half-life.gcf with GCFScape. Browse to the halflife/valve folder. Right click on halflife.wad. Extract to... And put in in the actual halflife/valve folder. Now you'll be able to use it with Hammer.
 
Ok this is a bit complicated

:sniper: My computer was screwd up so I rebooted/started over with my computer. Iwas an idiot and lost my windows cd key so used my brothers cd key and now windows think I stole the xp and wont let me update. And if I don't update, I can't install the gcf extracter (it says must be updated windows). So, is there any place where I can dl the HL wad other than finding my windows cd ?
? Please?
 
I'm thinking it would be a breach of copyright to make halflife.wad publicly available.
