Nope that compression is pretty much dead on.. I compressed the EMP release of HL2 from the install size of 4.1gb to 1.8gb compressed with WinACE v2.5 4096k dictionary size+optimized folders. Damn.. Nice compression!! I could probably stretch it more if the dictionary size was more elaborate but thats still damn fine. EMP should have just compressed it with one of the main file archivers out there.

hi i just installed the axpi version and everything seems to work fine but sometimes the characters seems to have a shaky leg im not sure if its a bug or its because of my settings. If a character stands in front of me then the textures of their legs shivers.

That's interesting. Wouldn't it be nice if everything got compressed this much? I once got a PS2 game that was decently compressed but that was the only time.

by rip games its possible but not for iso releases because of the original setup the producers always compress the files using useless cab compression then if you use winace afterwards it doesn't decrease the size anymore because of the sucky cab compression game developers or publishers,should use winace instead of cab compression.

hi, now it's getting really confusing.. first u say its working and now it isn't? I come here to get info and not to spread my useless thoughts but this whole HL2 drama is annoying to say the least Smile

so this rel isn't working properly either? Can anyone pls for the love of god confirm or refute that? Since when is that such a problem here anyway? And why is it not on the mainpage? (dupe or sth?)

bottom line: This one doesn't work any better than the Emporio? Right? Wrong?

:edit
and what about that (sry no offense-) ridiculously sounding workaround from above? Is that serious?

I tried both. Emporio worked only when I disabled access to the net, this version works without trying to connect to Steam.
Haven't played much, but I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
It is also smaller and I noticed there is no cstrike folder, while Emporio has it.

yeah,.. or any date previous to 17,..

(anyway,.. you can also enable console,.. and than write that ai_disable 0 command every time you load file,.. but it is easyer just to set the date,.. of your windows to any datte previous to 17nov 2004,..

Ok, I'm a little confused when you talk about steam, you don't mean that you can play this game with Steam and use multiplayer, correct? It's just that steam created the game, right? how do I block access out to steam?
Thanks

fix the AI disabled in ANY release by creating a autoexec.cfg in X:\xxxxx\hl2\cfg and adding ai_norebuildgraph 1 in it.

just use the axpi patch and the emperio release and all errors are gone with me and the HUD is fixed with the patch too Very Happy

this is recommended for download and the proper from emperio is not!!! its only far more worst that the 1st version where you did only have a picture in the background and now you have to load the main menu for 2 min for a stupid background movie that you dont watch....
this is the only other thing i saw in this release i even got the AI disabled and the node graph error!!
