Almost true. There is a fix to make it work in Steam HL (I've posted it
here before).... but I'd have to google for it and the pub is calling :-)

It certainly does work in steam. If you can't work out how to extract
the files from BS yourself, or find them on the net (try steampowered
forums first), I could put them on a newsgroup for you.

You, sir, are an imposter. No Northerner would admit to filling his fridge
with foreign beer and having a night in.

Not on a Friday, anyway...

You will need a blue shift cd....do you have one??? If so, you can get it
to work np....let me know if you have that cd, if you do...I'll be happy to
look
up the fix (patch).

I was helped from this ng regarding this exact issue about 4-5 months ago.
It will take me a bit of time to look up the solution, so if you don't have
the
BS cd...then I wont need to spend the time. Let me know.....

There are plenty of good small breweries around. Burton & Theakson both
spring to mind. I have to concur about the Becks, though. In fact I may have
to spend the night in (wifey working, and no babysitter) so I may go and get
a few bottles.

I never really thought much of Becks whenever I tried it in Ireland.
Then I went to Germany for a weekend, near Bremen where its brewed, and
it was as ubiquitous as Guinness in Dublin so I had to drink it. I had
to drink a lot of it. And it was really good. So smooth you get pished
without noticing and somehow it leaves you with only a shadow of a
hangover too...

sorry to say I can't find the original email that would make this pretty
simple on my
end....but I'll tell you what I remember....(it's been a while)

Right now your directory for half life should look something like this....

program files/valve/steam/steamApps/your steam id
name/half-life/valve/sprites

sprites is the folder where the hd pack must be installed to....
I think I just copied the files over from my pre steam valve/sprites
folder....
Mess around with it once or twice, you should be able to get lucky
as long as the target files are placed in the above directory it should
work.

Let me know if you can figure it out....if you can't I'll find my blueshift
cd
and re-install it which I should be able to retrace my steps.

I know it was a simple workaround, and I had plenty of people
telling me it wouldn't work in steam (just like this thread) but I can
send a screan shot to prove it out if you wish... it can be done
and it works just like the pre-steam valve version just in steam.

let me know how it goes, maybe someone else can be more specific
but I think you can stumble accross the solution just knowing the target.
If not, I'll be happy to retrace my old steps to get you going.

You need to add the following to your registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SIERRA ONLINE\SETUP\bshift]
"directory"="D:\games\HL Blue Shift"
"Full Name"="Half-Life: Blue Shift"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SIERRA ONLINE\SETUP\halflife]
"directory"="D:\games\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\jimman17@hotmail.com\half-life"
"Full Name"="Half-Life"

You can put it in a text file and then rename it with a reg extension.
That will automcatically impport it.

Then download the gfly_uhds.exe from file planet, and you are done. If
it fails, make sure the above keys were created properly.
