Mac Users

I know, I know, you guys are gonna flame this, but this is a tutorial for mac users on how to run mods

Steps for installing on Mac OSX, courtesy of Macocha:

1. Extract the mod and place it in: (Home)/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/sourcemods/
   You need to add a symlink to it in your hl2 directory. Like this:
   2.a. Open Terminal
   2.b. Navigate to the hl2 dir: cd /Users//Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps//half-life\ 2/
   2.c. Make symlink: ln -s …/…/sourcemods//
   Now you can run your game from terminal! Just enter:
   3.a. export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users//Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps//half-life\ 2/bin:/Applications/Steam.app/Contents/MacOS/osx32
   3.b. ulimit -n 2048
   3.c. ./hl2_osx -steam -game

Please note, the mod name must have NO SPACES. And you have to enter all of the terminal commands each time you run the mod

mods with custom code won’t run that way.

I thought so… And all good mods have custom stuff.
