Is it possible to have 2 or 3 ESFs installed?

1 ESF is ECX

1 ESF is ESF

1 ESF is 1.3

1 ESF is EVM

All in the half-life folder.

Is it possible?

Yeah but it depends if you wanna play online or not.

You can keep openbeta, ECX and ESF 1.2.3 and play online this way.

1. Install ESF 1.2.3
2. Install ECX over it.
3. Rename that folder to ECX
4. You can always keep the openbeta since the folder is named esf_openbeta by default.
5. Then reinstall ESF 1.2.3 in the HL folders.
6. If steam was open when u did all this close and restart.

And for EVM, you have to change the name of the Game itself in liblist.gam When u do that then you cant join servers coz itll identify ur game as whatever u named it.

Rename your old esf folder to soemthing.
Reinstall eSF. Install EVM. Then rename the ESF folder containing EVM to EVM. Then go into that folder and open liblist.gam file with notepad. Rename the game name to EVM.
Rename the old ESf folder to ESF.

Restart Steam.
Voila!

OK here is waht you do.

Install ESF normally. No addons.
Copy it and rename one to esf-esf.

So youll have esf and esf-esf in your HL foulder.
Now install ECX into the esf foulder and rename it to esf-ecx.

Sopy the esf-esf foulder and rname it to esf.
Install the other EVM and rename it to esf-evm

Now you have esf-evm, esf-ecx and esf-esf in your HL foulder.

Than when you want to play one just rename that foulder to esf. So if you wana play ECX rename the esf-ecx foulder to esf. If you then wana play ESF rename the esf foulder back to esf-ecx and the esf-esf foulder to esf.

That way you can swich round all you want.

And since 1.3 is called open beta right now you dont need to do anything. it has the foulder called esf_openbeta as its install foulder.

Thats how i have it ^^

And remember to use the desktop shourtcut to launch. Also if your foulder is not named esf you wont be able to see any servers. So renaming is a must.

So I won't have to re-install esf over and over just to play add-ons and updates.
