Obsidian Conflict Forums

So a few days ago I noticed some files were missing for gmod/css, then I realized it was hl2.exe that was missing from the root of the game directory. So then I noticed all my source games except the half-life 2 ones had that missing file, It said the game was unvailable, however I was able to fix it by validating game cache, however this is not the case with this mod.
Since it is a mod it obviously has no official files on steam, and guess what HL2.EXE IS MISSING. yea you never would have guessed. HOW THE HECK DO I FIX THIS??
also i got an error about a 404 model pack in the installer, and dont go saying ho ho ho its on the front page noob
yea, I looked already, If you can point me to the text i'll believe you, otherwise nope.avi I can't find it.

so yeah thanks for any help you can give

Source mods (excluding those already on Steam) don't have their own hl2.exe launchers, they use a shared one in steamapps/<your account name>/source sdk base 2007 (or 2006, depending on the mod). All you have to do after installing the mod is to restart Steam, after which it will show up in the list of games you have. Even if hl2.exe doesn't exist there now, Steam will take care of that and extract a copy from the GCFs for you.

Tl;dr:
1) Restart Steam after installing the mod
2) Make sure you have Source SDK Base 2007 installed (go to the Tools section of your games library to download it if you haven't already done so)

yea it didnt work, some other files must be missing, when launching i get a steam error 'game is unavailable' and yes i have those things installed or i would not be able to play half life 2 wars also what about the model thing?

guess whats missing
hl2.exe in the source 2007 base >.>

I'm assuming you're referring to the model pack download error of the installer. Simply click 'Cancel' on the popup and the installer will proceed on its merry way.

Whether or not hl2.exe is present there does not determine your ability to run the mod, because that's Steam's responsibility. In fact, I personally clear out all hl2.exe in my account folder on a regular basis.

However, something that can prevent you running the mod is the lack of modify permissions for the source sdk base 2007 and SourceMods/obsidian folders. Try renaming source sdk base 2007 to something else, then try to launch the mod again (yes, Steam will automatically create a new folder for you again).

i know that but i really really want the models where do i get them
