Half Life Steam

Valve has slashed the price of Half-Life: Alyx, its VR-only prequel to Half-Life 2. It’s the anniversary of its launch, and if you own a VR headset or might buy one, pick it up now from Steam. Bartunes. Half-Life: Alyx supports a variety of play environments, locomotion methods, and input devices. Play on any SteamVR system If you have VR hardware that works with a computer, then it works with SteamVR.

HL!UL!SL (formerly SteamLink) is an effort to run Half-Life: Uplink, Half-Life's single-player demo campaign from 1998, in Steam as easily as possible, while leaving it as true to the original demo as possible. No in-game content has been modified, and the 'loading' and menu backgrounds are taken directly from the original Uplink, as opposed to the generic Half-Life screens in Steam.

Requirements

  • Full version of Half-Life for Steam, installed and launched at least once.
    • Half-Life: Source (which comes with Half-Life 2) will NOT work; you must have the classic GoldSrc version instead.
    • Original Uplink demo installation is not required; HL!UL!SL includes all Uplink-specific files
  • Note that Windows antivirus software will sometimes falsely flag the HL!UL!SL installer as a virus, due to it being a bare, unsigned .exe.
    • This is unfortunately unavoidable (unless you think reporting the false positive to the antivirus vendor and/or Microsoft will get you anywhere).
    • Signing the .exe directly with a code-signing certiticate is not an option, due to being cost prohibitive for a small project such as this.
    • The downloads do include OpenPGP signatures which are signed by the developer (Ryan Finnie) who has a key with a high web of trust position, so ultimately it is up to you to decide whether to trust the installer.

Windows Installation

Half Life Steam
  • hlulsl-2.1-setup.exe (Version 2.1, 2019-10-10, 2.8MiB, OpenPGP signature)

Simply download and run the installer. The installer will determine your Steam installation directory, and place files in the necessary directory. After the installer finishes, restart Steam, and 'Half-Life: Uplink' should appear as a 'Third party mod'. In addition, a 'HL!UL!SL' Start Menu group will be created for direct access to Half-Life: Uplink.

Linux / OS X Installation

  • hlulsl-2.1.zip (Version 2.1, 2019-10-10, 4.1MiB, OpenPGP signature)
  1. Download Half-Life through Steam for Linux / OS X, and run it at least once.
  2. Download and extract the zip archive.
  3. Run install.sh, which will determine the Half-Life for Steam install path, and copy the necessary files to the correct place.
  4. After the installer finishes, restart Steam, and 'Half-Life: Uplink' should appear as a 'Third party mod'. The installer will also create a shell launch script, and symlink it to ~/bin/hlulsl.If ~/bin is in your $PATH, you may execute it directly.
  5. Once installed, the extracted zip contents are not needed, and may be removed.

Notes / Limitations

Of course, the entire point of HL!UL!SL is to play Half-Life: Uplink from within Steam, which means using the current Half-Life GoldSrc engine. The major benefit is better current hardware/Windows support. The downside is, for whatever reason, Valve decided to remove strafe leaning from GoldSrc a long time ago. You win some, you lose some.

HL!UL!SL does not come with any altered models or textures, but should be compatible with any third party Half-Life texture packs. Lil wayne future tapout mp3 download.
