i just dont know what to do... :( i have never DL'd Steam or anything.

I have DL’d the mod… but i need steam and the source mod… or something? just tell me to DL a link and i’ll do it. i played H-L1 back in the day and all the other HL games i had were on 360 so… yeah… errrr noob. :fffuuu:

You need Steam, yes, and the free Source SDK Base 2007.

Install Steam (go here https://store.steampowered.com/Steam and in top right side of the screen there is green button Install Steam). Create a Steam account (username and password). Download Black Mesa, install it, and it should automatically find your Steam folder and install Black Mesa in the correct place. And if you try to play Black Mesa without installing Source SDK Base 2007 then I think Steam will automatically download and install the SDK Base for you. (I can’t test that myself though as I already had installed.)

i have everything installed and steam and source and everything. i cant fine an exe file to open BM with or a thing on steam to click. idk.

Did you install the mod itself? I recommend the torrent here. You can double click the .exe here and it will install the mod for you.

  1. install steam.
  2. set up an account.
  3. log in, go to “Library” tab.
  4. where it says “All Games”, click the arrow and select “Tools”.
  5. find and double click “Source SDK Base 2007”.
  6. let download complete.
  7. **install Black Mesa to …/steamapps/sourcemods/BMS/
    8 ) restart steam.
  8. go to library, switch back to all games, double click Black Mesa.
  9. play

**I highly recommend using the executable file included in the torrent to handle the installation.
