I only have cs 1.6 and half life source. I am aware of the fact that Half life source cant be used to install ESF, but I have read in several places that you could use cs 1.6 and successfully play ESF. I installed and chose my cs 1.6 folder and the install button poped up and installed full, but when launching through quick launch it loads counter strike 1.6. Do I absolutely NEED half life? If so why is everyone saying half life OR cs 1.6? What exaclty am I doing wrong?

You don't, but if you don't use it and Steam, you won't get any help here.

cs 1.6 is a halflife mode itself and it needs the half life files to run, in other words cs 1.6 is half life but with a diferit name, so it should work if u install esf in it, but if it dosnt work thru the desktop icon , just go into ur cs folder, serch for hl.exe open it, select change game in the menu and from there earth special forces, that should work ;) , ppl here dont like the ideea of useing esf on cs is cuz maybe they think hl is haxed or just cuz they don't like esf depending on a other hl mod , anyway, cs.16 is haxed , not hl
edit:
u cant play on the internet, only lan (there are other ways to get it working on the internet but its ilegal to post that on the forum) but esf is still worth it ;), when i dont finde servars i just make a bot party(adding lots of bots) and beat the stuffings out of them :)

Counter-Strike v1.6 used to be a mod for Half-Life, but is now stand alone. But sorry Final, what you all said didn't make much sense to me o_O.

not quite, atleast on the outside.
On the inside however, yes, you're right it has the same engine as Half life and ESF.
and as it stand's alone, it can also theoreticaly support ESF.

It is however missing some files that HL has since those files were not needed.

Quite a lot of mods have problems working with CS when they work fine with half life.

Basically, get Steam (if you already haven't), get HL1, run it once, install ESF.

Ok so I went to my cstrike folder and found half life.exe. You said to open it, and select change game in the menu. When I open It, it just runs counter strike. I'm trying to do this without actually having to buy half life. I dont believe I understand what youre asking of me, final.

What ever it is hes talking about a way to bypass STEAM. Meaning itll be troble for him if he continues.

We have a strict only LEGAL things policy on this forum.

ESF used to work with Counter Strike back in the day when CS actually still was just a Half Life mod. Meaning if you bought CS you automatically got HL along with it. But as soon as CS went standalone with Condition Zero ESF and countless other mods stopped working for it.

The Counter-Strike that is stand alon means that in the steam file it's only cstrike and he is using the half-life gfc file so no half-life folder , where you need to add esf in order to run it.

ESF doesn't work on Half-Life: Source; you need Half-Life. And asking for keygens or warez is against the rules here. You can find Half-Life going for about $10 at video game retail stores.
