Xash3D

Requirements

  • Half-Life 1 files (from the latest Half-Life WON version (1.1.1.0) or from Steam using the steam_legacy branch)

Installation

  1. Download the latest release of Xash3D-fwgs and extract it in a folder.
  2. Place the valve folder within your Xash3D's root directory.
  3. Start the game

Enabling the console

Go to "Multiplayer -> Customize -> Adv. Options" and tick Enable Developer Console.

Please note that you will have to redo this step after each start of Xash3D.

Alternatively you can create a batch file within your Xash3D folder with the following content:

start xash3d.exe -console

You should be able to bring up the console.

Joining a NoSTEAM server

connect ip:port gs

Troubleshooting

I see a black background rather than the one from Steam!!

Place the files from the steam_legacy branch rather than the Half-Life 25's files.

Why is there "[Xash3D]" next to my name when joining a NoSteam server?

It is a value that is hardcoded, in order to differenciate Xash3D players from NoSteam players. If you want to disable it, you will have to recompile Xash3D yourself, and delete that part of the code that includes that change.

When I play online, why can't I move or shoot?

You have used the files from Half-Life's 25th anniversary! You have to use the files from the steam_legacy branch in order to fix it!
