Help How to run Half life 2 SP Mods

[mukesh]

Hello friends,
I have a source sdk files but dont know how to use it .
can i run the mods single player mod through source sdk?

Second question i have a GCF files all gcf including EP 2,i can run only Ep 2 but cannot run Mods like Ep 2 mods or Hl2 mods as the Single player mod files says that first extract this files in source mod folder but i don't have this folder AND i don't have steam so in the read-me said that run steam and now you see the custom mod but i don't have steam .how can i run custom mod?

So. whether can i i run mod through source sdk if yes tell me how?

If not then through GCF files then how?

1st question, no you cannot. The SDK is a Mod Development Kit, for use in map-making and dev stuff.

2nd question, for non-steam, just install the mod into your folder with hl2.exe and stuff. I used to have Orange Box HL2 (which I deleted since I'm going to buy it) and I launched them this way:

1. Find a mod
2. Put it into your Half-Life 2 directory (the one with hl2.exe)
3. Create a shortcut to HL2.exe
4. Right click, Properties.
5. Into target, write in -game MODNAMEHERE. It should look like this: "C:\halflife2\hl2.exe -game SMod", or whatever mod you are using, wherever you installed the game
6. Save shortcut, launch it. See if it launches properly.

If you have an .exe for EP2, try this with that exe instead. Although I never got mods working in EP2, since EP2 IS counted as a mod.

Hope you get it working!
