just shut the fuck up, you retard. Learn English first, then whine.


Why dont you learn russian then....dont flame a guy who is trying hard to write in english without using a translator...ya some of his words doesnt make sense but we can clearly understand what he has to say.

Not all of us learned english at birth you know...i learned it while watching GI Joe, Transformers, He-Man and other cartoons when i was a kid.

I agree with that. He is trying to do the best he can, and we all understand what he is writing.

I know, my English is better, but i'm not English/America too Smile
Just have some good teachers around here Very Happy

Half Life 2 CD2DVD

Create a Temp folder on harddrive. Name this folder ‘HL2_DVD’ (without the ‘’) This will be the Label of our DVD.
Copy all contents of CD1 to this Temp folder.
From CD2 copy just two files! The ‘cab’ file (hl2.CAB) and the ‘installer.dll’ file to the main directory of the Temp folder.
From CD3 copy the ‘hl23.CAB’ file to the main directory of the Temp folder.
From CD4 copy the ‘hl24.CAB’ file to the main directory of the Temp folder.
From CD5 copy the ‘hl25.CAB’ file to the main directory of the Temp folder.
Also from CD5 copy the DirectX and VENGEANCE folder to the main directory of the Temp folder.
Now download and install ‘Orca’ (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=105dfc41-801e-4441-aa75-7696d794f109&DisplayLang=en). Once Orca is installed go to the Temp folder and right click the file ‘hl2.msi’ and from near the top of the menu choose ‘Edit with Orca’. (You may have to edit the properties of this file to make it read only, but as it is copied to the harddrive it is probably already edited automatically)
When opened you will see 2 window panes, go to the ‘Tables’ one on the left and scroll down to ‘Media’
Click on ‘Media’ this will show you the entries in the Right pane. There will be 6 columns.
Change all the entries in the ‘VolumeLabel’ column to HL2_DVD
Then ‘Save’ it. (You can also use a program called ‘Masai Editor’ instead of ‘Orca’)
Now burn to a DVD using Nero using the Label HL2_DVD.





Just a Minor FIX WITH THESE instructions... FROM CD2 the file to be copied is named HL22.cab

Error 1334 the file hl2.ico1 cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file hl24.cab this could indicate a network error and error reading from the cdrom or a problem with this package

I had the same error - you have to install CS:Source.

Pls, I think I'm dumb, really... WHERE I have to unpack that VNG crack? Into the HL2 folder where the game is installed, or where? Because everytime I run hl2install.exe (I have tried the both methods - online/offline), it didn't do absolutely nothing.
But I'm installing it the different way... I have extracted all the hl2x.cab (from bin files) to one folder with setup.exe and it works. Btw, maybe that's the another way how to make a DVD from 5 CDs, or, on the other hand, that's the reason why it fails do crack the game.
Any ideas, plz? THX!

is there a way to activate cs:source which is included in this release?


CS Source is online so you need STEAM to run it and since this HL2 doesnt run under STEAM it will not work.....but why bother when EMPORiO released it already???

thnx man. i`ll grab EMPORiO release then.

ok this is how i got the .. offline thing to work.. i installed it.. AND YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE THE CS SOURCE CAUSE its gay... and i didnt want it but i had to install it... then when it comes up with the update thing... it runs...
let it finish .. i setup a steam account...

then you get the offline files and run the exe.. it will copy alot of files..
works flawlessly


You said you got the offline installer working but you were online to update steam - that doesn't make sense. According to the nfo the offline installer is (as the name says) for an offline installation without having to be online and update steam.
You could have also used the first hl2install.exe on CD5 if you were online and updated Steam.

so you mean to the ROOT of the HL2? I have done it and it didn't work Sad Because of that I don't know if the problem isn't in that way HOW I have installed this rls (as I mentioned above... I have extracted *.cab files from isos into one directory).

Has anybody been able to mount these CDs in Daemon? All I get is an error saying: "Unable to mount image. Cue sheet: Unit is locked."

This release works fine offline and online. I've tried both methods. If it's not working for you, you are simply foolish, ignorant and/or stupid. From my testing, this game gives me a better framrate than any other version I have tried including Retail. Also, it installed perfectly fine, easily, and the crack "installer" worked fine as well (offline/online) and I've played the first few levels for fun (as I've already beaten the game twice).

The release when compared to the retail 5CD version is exactly the same until you apply the crack, so this is why it will not be/is not nuked...

And for some strange reason, after reading the .nfo and using some common knowledge and sense, this release was not confusing whatsoever. Also note that the EMPORiO Proper needed a fix for the HUD/AI/NODE/NCP problems and this one does not. Overall, this is less confusing. Now stop complaining, thank Vengeance in your mind and go play instead of spending too much time here...

I completely agree with this! The ones who doesn't get this to work are simply foolish, ignorant and/or stupid. The NFO tells it correctly, if you are doing it different, it is depending on yourself!

nfo doesn't tell that after installation you have to let steam update itself through internet.

The method to create a dvd from 5 cds works fine Very Happy
For the crack, I copied everything that was in the vengeance folder into the steam folder (yes you have to overwrite the client.dll and maybe another file) and it worked flawlessly (it did nothing when I launched it from the dvd or desktop).

I'm going to try this method with a french dvd tomorrow, if the crack emulate steam, it should work with all versions.

No the nfo do not tell it correctly, not in any way and that is why people get confused. So really, there is no need to call anyone stupid at all.

This is exactly what the offline nfo say.
"*OFFLINE INSTALLER NOTES*

This is ONLY for people who did NOT have their internet connection
active during the installation of Half-Life 2 and Steam. "

As you can see it says "NOT" have their internet active during installation. But fact is you HAVE to have internet active or the offline hl2install wont work since steam wont be updated.
They shuld have written something like.

"*OFFLINE INSTALLER NOTES*

This is ONLY for people who did NOT have their internet connection
active during the installation of Half-Life 2 and Steam. Dont forget to get online after the install so steam can update itself or it wont work"

That would make it perfectly clear for everyone. Wink

I have read all pages of this topic but still don't know WTF I'm doing wrong!!

I have internet connection active all the time

1. Extracted bins&cues
2. Mounted first image with Deamon
3. Started autorun.exe (manualy because I have autorun disabled)
4. Installed Steam
5. Installed HL2 from all 5 cds (with "create desktop shortcut" and counter Strike)
6. Steam wanted to access the internet (Norton Personal Firewall asked about that) so I granted it
7. Steam updated itself and asked if I want to login or register
8. Closed that window and launched hl2install.exe from cd5
9. B&W window showed with "Done.. press any key"
10. Double clicked on destop shortcut to HL2...
11. Steam ask if i want to login or register...

I also tried to install with "create destop shortcut" unchecked,- => after hl2install.exe there is no new shortcut on desktop.

Offline patch doesn't help either.

So, please... WTF I'm doing wrong???

You are not suppose to let the game install a desktop shortcut.
