Spunky's Guide to Installing ESF Open Beta

[Spunky]

Since a number of people don't understand the extraction process and getting the mod to work, I've taken the time to write up this little guide. Ok, here we go:

Make sure you have Winzip or WinRAR before continuing, as one of these will be required to extract the .zip archive. Follow the steps below carefully:

1. Download the ESF Open Beta from here.

2. When the download completes, open the .zip archive with either of the two programs listed above (The program should automatically associate itself with the .zip format, so all you'll have to do is double click the archive).

3. Extract the archive to your Steam folder. Default path is:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<account>\half-life

4. Restart Steam.

5. Enjoy!

NOTE: If you are installing ESF to a fresh installation of Steam, make sure you have Half-Life installed, and that you've run the Hazard Course at least once. ESF may not run properly if this has not been done.

If you have any questions or concerns, please post here or throw me a PM. I'll do my best to address any questions. ALSO, please be sure to read the problems of others, so as not to ask a question that has already been answered.

Thank you.

And this is different from the F.A.Q, how exactly? .

There's a FAQ? I guess I never noticed it before.

Anyways, it's a quick and eas(y/ier) reference to what many newbies are having problems with.

The F.A.Q is even a stickied post:

The F.A.Q itself is almost done, just a few things has to be added / changed.
