Yes, that is what I am saying. I know it works for Half-Life. I have referenced Half-Life Models and Sounds from a Counter-Strike Mod many times. I have never tested accessing a mod other that Half Life. If you are having problems let me know and I will test it.
Keep in mind for this to work servers and clients will need to have the Mod (I think you said CS) and Half Life installed. >>So you'd wanna open up the gcf file with that tool only to examine what's in there. Actually I got the paths from the dedicated server. If you look how the dedicated server builds paths just use those. The clients seem to do the mapping automatically. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Fencik Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 1:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Steam and Mods What I <think> he was trying to say is that the engine will see the packed files in the gcfs just as if they were unpacked. You reference them by the path that is zipped into the gcf. So you'd wanna open up the gcf file with that tool only to examine what's in there.

Is there a way to reference them? And er....the mod uses HL SP maps. So, referencing can't be done. :( >From: "Deadman Standing" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Steam and Mods >Date: Sat, 7 Aug 2004 15:40:23 -0400 > >If users already have CS and Half Life installed you can reference the >models without having to copy them. >Ex for Half-Life use: ../../valve/sounds/weapon/mine_activate.wav > >For CS use: ../../cstrike/sound/weapon/awp1.wav > >The CS variant I have not tried.
