I don't know if I already asked this, but I want to playa normal game with bots without steam needing to activate while I play. I can't play on steam because someone stole my key. They won't do anything about it . Anyway, I want to play with bots not on the internet. I want to get this game going on a friends computer without an internet connection. I have a CD with the program to install ESF to half life. When I play ESF, it crashes and says that something is out dated AND I AM FULLY UPDATED!!!! I HAVE THE ESF 1.2.1 and THE FULLEST VERSION OF HALF LIFE.

Can anyone assist me with this problem? I will really apperciate it!

well do you have a legal key? thats the first question I need answered

 

[odbod]

HECK YES!!! I bought half life 4 months ago. SO, it is a legal key. Oh and I just tried opening ESF and now it thinks I am just playing Half Life. Even though it shows the ESF back ground.

Sorry for the double post. I installed ESF for just WON instead of Steam. I got the update 1.2.1 . I ran it. I go to LAN games and run one. Then NOW it says this exactly:

"You half life version is out of date. Would you like to search the internet for updates" I say yes. It goes 1.1.1.0 is out of date, but there are no updates for half life. I instead try to play without saying YES to updating and then it stops and takes me back to the menu.

NVM! Got it fixed.

A new problem:

I have ESF on my brothers computer too. We try to play a lan game but it says the server is running a custom... what ever... and I have to download something. AND, when I want to playa normal game after putting the patch 1.2.1 , none of the ESF maps appear. What is happening here ?!?!

odbod, please do not post two, or even three times in a row, sorry does not make it any better, band aids do.

Just a friendly unofficial warning so the rest of the mod squad doesn't eat you alive.

Try downloading the 1.21 installer and do a fresh install. Sounds like your install got borked somewhere along the line.

you and your brother must have the same esf folder on each computer..
then make shortcut like this .. creat shortcut of half life and edit him in the target zone add -game esf and the maps supposed to work.. sry for my bad english

 

[odbod]

Ok. I added the -game esf line to the target box. It works now. Thank you so much dor. :yes:
