If you have Steam you may have noticed that It's been updated. I tried installing Smod on it and this was to path I took
C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Source Mods
and I put the download in there but it didn't show up on my Games Library.
I know I'm a total noob for asking this but, do you need Half-Life 2 for Smod to work.
Hope one of you guys can help
Thanks
Seb
Yes you need half life 2 for smod to work
But it wont work anyway because valve broek all the mods with the OB update
You do need Half-Life 2.
And that path is also slightly incorrect if you already have it: It should be "SourceMods" as one word, not "Source Mods".
You don't strictly need Half-Life 2; [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/css-sci-fi]CSS SCI-FI[/url], for example, uses the Source SDK Base and Counter-Strike: Source instead. You can use the Base by swapping out "220" in your gameinfo.txt to "215". This is how the major SMOD variants are now [url=http://smod-tactical.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=3823]patched[/url] to work with the OB update, using a tweaked [url=http://smod.wikidot.com/script:addcontents]mount script[/url] and some other small edits.
If you don't have CS:S or HL2, though, you won't have a lot to do unless you make your own mapadd scripts, where experience with Hammer is helpful.
Don't bother installing it. The recent update to the engine for Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 render them all unstable.
Pretty much only mods made for Episode 2 work, now.

I just want to point out there are 4 mods that have actually been released for EP2, while 55 still remain TBD, or dead.

I know. Probably the only decent one is Research and Development, but I haven't seen any of the others.
There is a patch for smod that fixed the broken stuff since the engine update, I think its all of it IIRC.
