"I have an idea, so that you can have it on Steam, you can have Valve publish it and put it on Steam for a cheap price, and if you own Half-Life 2, you will get it for free, and it would come with every purchase of Half-Life 2."
even though it won't ever happen, not THAT bad of an idea...
Hey, that is Anon's horrible beta (i think) I found a Russian edition of the Beta which is a total 2.42 gb.
I tried to post it but the thread here 2 years ago and it was deleted. I can give it out in a PM('s)

The russian beta I had before my harddrive went kapoof was a whooping 50 gigabytes.
Was it supposed to be that huge or not?
[QUOTE=swampie;29544785]nope
gaben even said, the game (and two others) are out. they don't care. they don't like it or hate it[/QUOTE]
Just because Gabe said he doesn't care, doesn't mean they don't own the IP, which you are using without a license from them.
It's warez even if they don't care about it.
And even then, that's not the whole truth.
He still cares about the source code going around, but not the materials, models, animations etc.
A game you're probably going to mostly scrap anyways? Who cares, let it float around the web.
But the game engine which is still (after loads of improvement) powering the best games around? Hnghhhhhhhh

I might have been because it had alot of extra fixup gizmo stuff, which I do not have, I can pack my version up with the WC MapPack and the other goodies that you might like.
I have been tracking the beta and it looked very interesting. Even if they wouldn't going use the stuff, they should have made Half-Life 2: Beta Edition or something.
I think I used to have it, but downloaded it anyway:

Here's what's inside the RAR:

It may have been patched already, but I gave it a try with The Axel project and it worked beautifully.
Oh this will be fun.
Where's the Enable Console button? I can't seem to find it. :saddowns:
EDIT: Disregard, console is ' and not `
-snip-
I wonder why the beta runs in all low textures graphic settings.
It's not low texture in any of the shots. Maybe it has to do with needing to run it in Windows 98 mode.
I can't change to fullscreen. It simply restarts the game with the same settings :(

Wait for my version it does not have the problem here or the Win98 compatibility problem.

Hey guys, thanks for all the PM's for the beta. I'm still packing it up and its big (just the HL2 beta itself!)
My pack is coming with the Goodie Bag (CS:S Beta/TF2 Beta with stuff you want if I can find it, and the WC Mappack) and that is optional. So keep those PM's coming, and beware if you do not get the PM with the link right away. It's still packing.
Curious as to what differences there are between the russian and anon leak
[QUOTE=solid_jake;29551168]Curious as to what differences there are between the russian and anon leak[/QUOTE]
One has an installer file, one doesn't.
Don't forget the mini-patch that came with it.
[editline]1st May 2011[/editline]
Sending out the goodie pack.
Post here if you want anything else (special stuff (i.e. Special HL2 stuff or something)
[editline]1st May 2011[/editline]
Don't mind me accidentally sending the same thing out. I'm getting flooded with the PM's!
Gonna try. Any more patch needed or is that enough?
It crashes on startup for me. :smith:

[QUOTE=ModDB Description]Notice: to run on Win7 change compatibility to Win98.[/QUOTE]
That may help if you are on Win7.

Yeah, you probably have a dx10 or dx10.1 OR dx11 hardware, pull out a old DX9 graphics and use it and the textures will look much better. (I know this for sure, my current dx10.1 graphics card shows low res textures but when I put it on my old dx9 PC it looked fine)

Old Source Engine textures look better on old graphics cards than on new ones??

I have a old 8400 GS (yeah, I know), would that work?

pfft, that's bullshit, it's just that the engine doesn't recognize your graphics card in the definitions file (basically, it's made so if you had a low end PC it would put low graphics, if you had a good GPU it'd be on high etc).
just pull out the console and type mat_forceaniso 8 along with mat_picmip -1, and there you go:

Did nothing for me.
Also, there is no bullet holes when I hit walls. Is this normal?
Should I use the Axel Project?
I can't wait to see people making mods for HL2 Beta.

So why was this guy banned for Warez but not the OP?
Oh wow, he got banned. Oh well, there goes HL2 Beta.
I was messing with e3_lab its a shame I can't get the models into HL2.

Direct X 10.1 (Maybe dx10 and higher) problem. not that easy to fix and I have no idea how to actually fix it, other than using a DX9 graphics card.
