4 all those people out dere dat cant even EXTRACT a file properly then this is 4 u...
right click on da zip file and find EXTRACT, extract the file in2 ur game directory, eg, mine is C:*\Sierra\Counter-Strike\
and everything shoold be sweet, but da only problem is dat deres no SSJ Trunks... but who cares, hehe

and yes updataing ur CS or HL or wotever is important, otherwise dont worry about net gameing and i also think forget LAN...

BTW ignore the corrupted file warning, the game still runs without it so dunt stress..

The two times I tried, I got a need more space error. (I have ~300mb on my C:\ drive and ~2.5GB on my D:\ drive, which is also my 1 and only Half-Life drive.


Now, after clearing all the space I could, the installer freezes and won't continue past the "Configuring Windows Installer" step. When I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, it says its "Not Responding".

Comp specs:

1 1GB drive (C:\ drive with ~300mb of free space)
1 3GB drive (D:\ drive with ~2.5gb of free space. Only thing on it is Half-Life and mods)
1 20GB drive (E:\ drive with ~10GB of free space)
~352mb of PC1000(?) Ram
Voodoo3 3000 16mb
AMD K-6 with 3D accel. support ~400mhz

Running:
Win98


I tried that link on the first post, but it says I already have it and won't reinstall.
that is EXACTLY what's happening to me only i have xp. and don't tell me to extract from the zip cuz some one already said it was for linux and i ain't about to dl a file that big with 56k if it ain't gonna work (i already dled the regular version twice, took me a while too) all i wanna do is play the frickin mod :cry: :cry: :cry:

if installing goes wrong do this!!!

-install halflife
-instal esf 2.0
-unzip the beta100-final.zip, in the esf folder, and put the fmod.dll in the half life folder.

try it!!:) :yes: ;)

so far so good, thnx for that step but now he's talking about: Mod_NumForName: sprites/bleuattacka.spr not found.

Could you place youre sprites folder some on a website or something it would be great if you ore someone else would do that or i could add you to my contact list of msn.

step 1: install ESF alpha
step 2: download the zip from the link earlyer in this topic (page 1)
step 3: download my sprites file from www.mapsfromcrash.tk youll find youre way theire the link should be up @ 10 minutes from now that i posted this mssg

step 4: you just copy the sprites map in youre esforces folder and copy over the other sprites.

Yo everyone, I got ESF to work. At first I was experiencing the "Not Responding" installer program with WinXP. So I went to the boards, and saw the zip, and I saw a couple other posts... and after mixing and matching, I've made it work!

Okay, here goes...

1) D/L the zip from Hibiki's link.
2) D/L ESF Alpha.
3) D/L the sprites link from *crash*
4) Install ESF Alpha. (Into your Halflife folder, it will automatically create an "ESForces" folder... I think.)
5) Rename the "ESForces" folder to "ESF"
6) Unzip the zip into your Halflife folder (It should automatically extract the files into an "ESF" folder and thus ask to overwrite "ESF", say yes to all, ignore the damaged file.)
7) Copy fmod.dll from "ESF" folder to "Halflife" folder.
8) Unzip *crash*'s sprites thing into your "ESF" folder, it should auto create a "sprites" folder and thus ask if you want to overwrite, say yes.

Now, when you go to load up the mod in CS, the "install" button will be dimmed, and when you load it, the background will be ESF and have saiyans on the right instead of a big Buu.

Problems I encountered, then solved:

* "Not Responding" beta installer problem with winXP.
+ Didn't use the installer

* Old ESF loaded even though I unzipped
+ I got mixed up with the folders, for instance, with the zip, I unzipped it into my "ESF" folder, so what it did, was create another "ESF" folder inside my current "ESF" folder, and thus didn't overwrite anything. Same thing happened with the sprites. So I just ended up copy/pasting the folders onto each other, but if you follow my instructions above, you shouldn't encounter this.

* "Problem loading library..... client.dll"
+ It was loading the old client.dll because of my zip directory problems mentioned in the problem listed before this one.

* "You must install this mod...." even though I had already installed it.
+ My folder was still named "ESForces" and not "ESF". I don't know why I noticed this and changed it, but when I did, it let me into the games!

I think that's it, post another msg if you have more probs, and I'll see what I can figure out.

Peace.

For the past 3 days iv`e tried to download ESF,and being a 56ker doesn`t add to the "fun" i`m having just trying to get it,i tried all the links including the zip file,and for some reason everytime it will say it`s finished and it stops downloading,and i have to restart the whole process again b/c the incomplete version won`t even get past checking windows for the installer,and on the incomplete zip it just stops andit and says "No zip file,bad zip file or part of a spanned zip file",so now i`m trying from Kazaa to dl the beta,and where do i get the Alpha 2.0 that you say i need?
