I see the problem too when we use anything in the PAK0.PAK file (we had some unused junk in our hud.txt referenced that I had to clean up).
When running from the debugger only that is, it worked fine copying the directory to the steam directories and running it.
Are we all setting the path wrong such that hl.exe can't find the stuff in the pak0.pak? or, do we need to copy that to the valve directory under steam for it to work perhaps?

Can you try this without the "-game" command (that I assume you are using to run your mod), and just see if you can launch HL in the debugger?
Also to make sure, you've set the debugger to use the HL dir as the working directory?

Yeah I just figured that when it missed all of my break points. Well i can not be the only one with this problem. If i add -steam, then i get about 234983 errors starting with Can not find gfx.wad and ending with the last file in the valve pak0 file. then after those errors, I get a number of illegal operations followed by some other shit.
this is what did
steam.dll into ...email/half-life/ created steamapp.cfg and placed it into ...email/half-life/
here is my config
SteamAppId=70 SteamAppVersionId=0 SteamInstallPath=c:\steam SteamAppUser=my_steam_name
then i set up VS6.0 to copy the dll into the correct folder(this is irrelavate for debugging), then i linked to the correct dll under in the debug tab as well as set up all the correct paths for debugging
It will execute my mod fine WITHOUT the -steam but as soon as i put it in there, well yeah... you know the rest.
I have looked over his instructions at least 6 times and I have checked them all off. I can assure anyone they are done correctly.
