Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues (Mod)
#41

Still nothing for me.

I was so excited yesterday, now it feels like black mesa is repeatetly punching me in the balls.

#42

Can somebody with a fully working game post the MD5 cheksum of the 7z file ? Thanks.

#43

What is the MD5 thingy anyways ?

#44

Yeah, its true… I’ve fixed problem with launching BMS, but made the game unplayable :[
But maybe, it’s another bug of the BMS, not corellated with library problem…

#45

i believe it’s because it’s operating from the wrong dlls (correct me if i’m wrong)
the same thing happens if you change the steamappid in gameinfo.txt to 220

#46

Options button not working … and how do I enable the console?

#47

Here are the .dll files:

SpeedyShare.com - BlackMesaDLLFiles.zip

Note: Click “BlackMesaDLLFiles.zip” to start the download.

And here is (sort of) a detailed instruction on how to install them, if you don’t know how to:

[COLOR=’#FF0000’]IMPORTANT:

Please copy and paste (backup) your existing bin folder ("…\sourcemods\BMS\bin"), including all of its contents to some other location, BEFORE “installing” the downloaded .dll files, to have a backup if thes .dll files do not work, as intended or crash your game.

[COLOR=’#FF0000’]IMPORTANT 2:

To be on a safe® side: In case of (possible) savegame corruption, make sure to backup your savegames ("…\sourcemods\BMS\SAVES") folder, to a separate location, BEFORE “installing” these downloaded (.dll) files, as well.

From “Black Mesa” To “Black Mesa” ->

To “install” the .dll files from the “Black Mesa” folder (Copied from Black Mesa ("…\sourcemods\BMS\bin"):

  1. Open the “Black Mesa” folder.
  2. Move or copy the bin folder (from inside the “Black Mesa” folder) to your “BMS” folder ("…\sourcemods\BMS") and click “Yes, overwrite all existing files.”, if asked.

From “Source SDK Base 2007” To “Black Mesa” ->

To “install” the .dll files from the “Source SDK Base 2007” folder (Copied from Source SDK Base 2007 ("…{ACCOUNTNAME}\Source SDK Base 2007\sourcetest\bin"):

  1. Open the “Source SDK Base 2007” folder.
  2. Move or copy the bin folder (from inside the “Source SDK Base 2007” folder) to your “BMS” folder ("…\sourcemods\BMS") and click “Yes, overwrite all existing files.”, if asked.

Remember to create a backup of the original bin folder ("…\sourcemods\BMS\bin"), including all of its contents, BEFORE “installing” the downloaded .dll files!

Thank you!

Note: I would’ve uploaded it as an attachment but ~9000 kB are too big for that, unfortunately.

Note 2: Sorry it took so long, I just like to double and quadruple check the things I release publicly or I’m just putting too much effort into things like this (who knows) - in other words: I seem to be lacking simplicity where it is needed… :brow:

#48

sort of compiles the whole file to a unique code, if my code and you code are the same -> whe have the exact same file,

just to confirm: puting the dlls that LeXX uploade in sdk 2007 base\episodic\bin
didi tthe trick of getting to the ingame menu and tram ride.

what is itneresting is i originally did not have client.dll and server.dll in teh original sdk2007 bin folder, bunch of other dll files and the source test is working but not theese two.

#49

Not wrong at all, but not needfull too…
I think that BMS needs old libs from ssdk 2007 and also new libs, compiled exactly for BMS.
There is another thing we can do: try to repack source sdk 2007 archives.

#50

Nope, doesn’t work.

Thanks for trying though.

It’s working but they reach the end of the train does not open the door. And options button does not work. (no console…)

Edit: Ok , Why train door does not open? And options button does not work either?

#53

Strange, strange indeed…

You did enable the console (as described above)?

On another note:

If you take a look at your “BMS” (…\sourcemods\BMS) directory, do you see a file called “steam.inf” and if you do, what are its contents (text)?

If there is no such file, try creating it and adding the following text, then saving it:

appID=218
#54

maybe your router can’t handle torrents…
'cause a friend of mine had issues with a cheapass router that spazzed out while having hundreds of incoming connections at once, he bought a modern router and problem solved.

#55

Thank you. My files seem to be legit.

heres gpl program to check with: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/WinMD5.shtml

#56

I have ‘appId=218’ in “steam.inf” .
When I press Options, I see unknown console command: blackmesaopenoptions

#57

Could you PM me the full crash dump or just post it here (whichever you like best)?

Maybe I can upload the files somewhere, if the archive doesn’t grow too large…

Although, on a quick thought - it could be a faulty reference file (which defines the IDs) or something similiar.

Anyway, a full crash dump in text form would be nice, please. :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance!

#59

#60

Aye, I can wait, as long as we find a solution, so you (and others) can finally enjoy the game, I’ll give my best (until then)! :smiley:
