Nobody ever wanted to do this because it was pointless and very time consuming (And the shadows looked blocky) In the days of the HL2 Source engine and the HL2:EP1 engine you had to make a grating yourself, by taking a blocklight texture and cutting it out. This would be okay, but it looks really unrealistic when a light is near it.

This is great for visual looks like looking through it, but source has no idea what to do about lighting for the alpha channel for props, and it simply uses the collision model as a shadow reference.

The fence's grating has an alpha channel that allows you to see through it. For example, glass textures have an alpha channel that makes them transparent. You may be wondering "What does alpha mean?" Alpha - or more specifically the alpha channel, is what defines transparency in an image. I have included some screen shots, so any more help would be great!!! Each one shows where the files are and directory layout etc.In this tutorial you will learn how you can make the opaque parts of a transparent texture on a model cast shadows. Is the installed version of Episode 2 supposed to be moved into here somehow? I have never had steam on my C: drive, because if the pc were to fail, I would loose all my games and photos etc, so I have them spread over the other 3 drives. In that folder it has yet more half life folders called ep2, ep2_german, episodic, hl2, hl2_germanĪnd so on. Then in the Source Mods Folder there is a folder called FAKEFACTORY_CM9 In the davros 01 Folder are my installed games in folders called All my games are installed on the E: drive in a folder called GAMES. You dont have all the GCFS needed to play this game. I then tried the Launch hl2 icon from within the FakeFactory Folder Then I re installed Fake factory mod cm9 base. I ran each game and played them for a few minutes to be sure they worked. I then Reinstalled Half Life 2, Episode 1 and 2 I am not a fan of episode gaming, I just want to play it! Many thanks in advance and I am off to read some of the other great threads on here for a while!Ĭant wait for Episode 3, I just wish they had released it as all one sequel so we could play it without the months long waits inbetween. MountAppFilesystem () failled: You dont have all GCFs needed to play this game.Ĭan anyone help me? Is there a guide on here or on the net, with step by step instructions on how to set up this mod? I have downloaded and installed episode 1 as well, but it still wont run with that installed.Ĭan anyone tell me what the correct directory structure, in the STEAM folder would be, to get the FakeFactory mod running?Īny help, guides would be most appreciated! Its the 4 gig download version.Īll I get when I try to run Half life 2 from the all Programs / FakeFactory cm9 shortcut on the start button, is this error message. I have installed Half Life 2, installed the Cinematic Mod v9 Base, using the setup exe that came with it. I just discovered the Cinematic Fake Factory Mod, and have tried installing it, I wanted to play through the game again and the episodes, with new updated textures etc, just to see the game "updated/different!" I love Half Life and have played through it once a year since it came out. I have Vista 32 Bit and Half Life 2 Installed on it and Steam.
