Release Notes:







From the group that brought Counter-Strike: Condition Zero to your pc,



Vengeance is proud to present Half-Life 2.







By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and



adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the



door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him,



from the physical environment to the behaviors -- even the emotions -- of



both friends and enemies.







The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon



Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the



bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust



into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed



back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people -- people he cares about -- are



counting on him.







Characters - Advanced facial animation system delivers the most



sophisticated in-game characters ever seen. With 40 distinct facial



"muscles," human characters convey the full array of human emotion, and



respond to the player with fluidity and intelligence.







Physics - From pebbles to water to 2-ton trucks respond as expected, as



they obey the laws of mass, friction, gravity, and buoyancy.







Graphics - Source's shader-based renderer, like the one used at Pixar to



create movies such as Toy Story and Monster's, Inc., creates the most



beautiful and realistic environments ever seen in a video game.







AI - Neither friends nor enemies charge blindly into the fray. They can



assess threats, navigate tricky terrain, and fashion weapons from whatever



is at hand.







*NOTES*







Vengeance presents yet another excellent release of the action-packed



thriller Half-Life 2.







This time around, we have made a fully compatible installer for those



who did not wish to have their internet connection active while



installing this game, or for those who had firewalled STEAM/VALVE servers.







In addition, we have also upgraded the emulator's capabilities and as a



result the game runs even FASTER than our previous release. As a result,



you can expect even better gameplay, and shorter loading times.



The emulator has been carefully profiled against Half-Life 2, and file



data throughput has been optimized even further. This brings the emulator



to version 1.10. Most of the important emulator settings are configurable



for advanced users by using the steamemu.ini configuration file.







And in addition to improved game performance, we have enabled our



emulator to create cracked servers for Counter-Strike Source. Thus,



whoever is running the game using the Vengeance emulator from this release



can create their own cracked servers for CS: Source, and also play on



other cracked servers.







Please note that the previous release DOES work, if you have your internet



connection active and your firewalls off.







ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ







Install Notes (Please follow these instructions IN ORDER)







1. Unpack the release with WinRAR or equivalent







2. Burn with Nero Burning ROM, CDRWin or equivalent.







3. *OPTIONAL STEP*







Disconnect your computer from the internet if you do not



wish any contact with the VALVE servers during the installation.







This WILL NOT alter or disable gameplay or any features, so do not worry



if you have chosen to disconnect your internet.







4. Run the autoplay, choose "Install Half-Life 2", then follow the



instructions on-screen to install STEAM, and then Half-Life 2.







*NOTE* You MUST install Counter-Strike Source as well or you will get an



error for the file hl2.ico1 in hl24.cab on CD4.



This is by fault of VALVE itself and this error is found on the



original retail copies of both the cd version and dvd.







5. After installation, depending on if your internet connection is active,



STEAM will ask you to create an account or login as an existing user.







Simply close this window once you see it as you DO NOT need a STEAM



account to play this release, nor do you need to launch or logon to



Steam.







It will also attempt to update the STEAM platform client, so just turn



on your firewall if you do not want to update the STEAM client.







If your internet was inactive during installation, once you reconnect it



may pop-up for you as well, so just close the window and turn on your



firewall only if you wish to avoid contact with STEAM at this point of



the installation.







REMEMBER THIS UPDATE IS FOR THE STEAM CLIENT ONLY! IT IS NOT NECESSARY



TO UPDATE. YOU DO NOT NEED INTERNET TO PLAY OUR HALF-LIFE 2.







CONTINUE READING ENTIRE NFO FOR MORE INFORMATION.







6. From the /VENGEANCE/HL2Installer/ directory on the DVD, double click the



file hl2install.exe.







This installer will automatically rename needed GCF files in the



SteamApps directory on your HDD (which is normally done by STEAM when



installing with an active internet connection).







The installer has now been modified to work offline, without any



interaction with the VALVE servers. So no worries about the installation



ever being blocked or calling home.







Next, the h2install.exe will automatically extract the necessary files



to run Half-Life 2 to "<install directory>\SteamApps\User\Half-Life 2\".







Finally, the hl2install.exe will render the game into full offline mode,



meaning, upon the first launch of the game, there will be no contact



with VALVE's master server or friends servers.







*** SAVED GAMES TIP ******************************************







You can copy your save games to the following folder to



continue playing them:







"<install directory>\SteamApps\User\Half-Life 2\hl2\SAVE\"







And note that the "\User\" folder literally means \User\, it



DOES NOT refer to any STEAM account name you previously used.







**************************************************************











*** REMINDER *************************************************







Remember, you DO NOT need a STEAM account to play our release,



nor do you need to have STEAM running when you do want to play.







**************************************************************







7. *OPTIONAL STEP*







This step is only for those who wish to play CS: Source online, to host



or play on cracked servers generated by our emulator.







*** IMPORTANT STEP *******************************************







From the /VENGEANCE/ directory on the DVD, double click the



file "Steam Online.reg" to return the game to online mode.







If this step is not done, the game will remain in offline mode



and Counter-Strike Source will only work for LAN games.







**************************************************************







From the /VENGEANCE/CSSInstaller/ directory on the DVD, double click



the file cssinstaller.exe.







This installer will similarly to hl2install.exe, rename the needed



GCF files and extract necessary files to play Counter-Strike Source.







Counter-Strike Source will be installed to



"<install directory>\SteamApps\User\Counter-Strike Source\".







However, cssinstaller.exe will enable the emulator to play



Counter-Strike Source!







You can create and join cracked servers by choosing the appropriate



action while playing the game.







8. --- Half-Life 2 ---







To play Half-Life 2 double click the "Half-Life 2" shortcut found on



your desktop.







(Half-Life 2 will work in either OFFLINE or ONLINE mode - read below)







--- Counter-Strike Source ---







To play Counter-Strike Source double click the "Counter-Strike Source"



shortcut found on your desktop.







(CS: Source is ONLY functional if you are in ONLINE mode and



have completed step 7 - read above and below)











*** SHORTCUT NOTICE *******************************************







Our installers will make shortcuts ONLY to the REAL location



where windows believes the desktop is. If you have played



around with the desktop using TweakUI or other programs, you



may not see the shortcuts on your "desktop" which is NOT where



windows thinks the desktop actually is. So, follow these



instructions to make your own shortcut:







For Half-Life 2:







"<install dir>\SteamApps\User\Half-Life 2\hl2.exe" -steamlocal







For Counter-Strike Source:







"<install dir>\SteamApps\User\Counter-Strike Source\hl2.exe" -steamlocal -game cstrike















<install dir> being wherever you installed the game obviously.











*** OFFLINE / ONLINE MODE *************************************







--- ONLINE ---







From the /VENGEANCE/ directory on the DVD, double click the



file "Steam Online.reg" to put the game in ONLINE mode.







Make sure your internet connection is active and the needed



ports to play CS: Source are open (or turn firewalls off).







--- OFFLINE ---







From the /VENGEANCE/ directory on the DVD, double click the



file "Steam Offline.reg" to put the game in OFFLINE mode.







---------------------------------------------------------------







The game MUST be in ONLINE mode to play Counter-Strike Source



on cracked servers, or to host a cracked server, and you



obviously must be connected to the internet.







OFFLINE mode is for those who do not have a constant internet



connection or for those who do not want any contact with VALVE



servers and want to play Half-Life 2.







Remember that OFFLINE mode will disable Counter-Strike Source



online capabilities. So if you want to play online, follow



the instructions above to enable ONLINE mode.







Remember, STEAM does NOT need to be running to play either



Half-Life 2, or Counter-Strike Source and you DO NOT need a



STEAM username/account.
