Frequently Asked Questions

When will the next release of hl2wars be out?
When it's done.

What games are required to play Half-Life 2: Wars?
Release v0.5: The required installed games are: Half-Life 2: Episode two and Source sdk Base Orange box.
Release v0.1: The required installed games are: Half-Life 2: Episode one and Source sdk Base.
Also make sure you runned each game atleast once before starting Half-Life 2: Wars.

Note: you can still play v0.5 if you only have Source sdk base - Orange box installed, but you will get missing content.

My buttons in the interface look unreadable!?
You are likely playing with texture settings set to low. The button textures don't have mipmap and level of detail generation turned off, so will appear very vague with texture settings on low.

You can download the updated textures from:
http://www.hl2wars.com/downloads/fixes/ ... re_fix.rar

Extract the contents of the rar file into:
sourcemods/hl2wars/materials and overwrite the existing materials.

(Release v0.1) I switched to widescreen mode, crashed and can't start hl2wars anymore!
Version 0.1 of hl2wars doesn't has a widescreen background, which appears to cause a crash in some cases. You can download a fix from: http://hl2wars.com/downloads/fixes/hl2w ... eenfix.rar. This should be extracted into steam/steamapps/sourcemods/hl2wars/.

(Release v0.1) When I start hl2wars it fails with the error message "Mountfilesystem( 380 ) failed...."
HL2Wars requires Half-Life 2: Episode one to be installed. It will mount the episode one gcf (materials, models, etc ) when being launched.

(Release v0.1) When I start hl2wars it fails with the error message "Mountfilesystem( 213 ) failed...."
HL2Wars requires Half-Life 2: Episode one to be installed. It will mount the episode one gcf (materials, models, etc ) when being launched.

(Release v0.1) When I start hl2wars it fails with the error message "Mountfilesystem( 301 ) failed...."
There is a small bug in the current release that is causing the dod:source gcf to be mounted. In most cases it generates an empty gcf, in other cases a mount error. This will be fixed in the next release.

doesnt this game require ep.2?

[Sandern]

The current release not. The next release will.

[MadK]

Forcing others to use Ep2 is a bit too much, don't you think? I have a lot of friends who do not own the latest releases, but I would enjoy playing against them on multiplayer with HL2Wars.

[Purplehaze]

No. Just play a less advanced version, Or go out and buy it, If you dont have a job, You problay shouldn't be playing video games...

[aceacs123]

how do i use console in this game
is the mission forrest soposed to not have anyone in it
and is their a way to set sides on spawned units

[roguesniper389]

@ aceacs123
to use console make sure under advanced under keyboard under options the Devolper console is checked and in/out of game use the ~ key next to teh one
the forest lvl comes with 2 rebels in the bottom left hand corner a little right and up and they're there

[Sandern]

He means hlw_forest from newer (intern) builds, not hlw_training. That's a multiplayer map, and should be started in a different way. I still need to give mp maps different prefixes, so it won't appear in the mission selector.

[ZedoMann]

Will this game eventually have a single player version that covers the HL2 story?

[BiotecVirus]

Not the HL2 sotry with gordon in it but more or less one running beside it.

Try to run Source sdk base - Orange box (tools tab) once and Episode two. If that not helps verify your steam gcf files:

change the team ID's when spawning them.
