Hello everyone,
My name is Heimriel, I've played this game on and off since it's original release back long before the steam version, I currently play continued passionately as much as I can possible muster but i told some people about an old MS Build I have and i'd figure i'd post it up and let people play about with it, I'm a mapper myself so older builds might lead to more awesome maps, it's always cool to try old software.
First off you're going to need the following stuff.
1. Half Life Game of the Year Iso - Here
- Half Life WON CD Key - If you have an old copy of your game you can use the one sealed to the inside of your plastic case.
- Half Life Patch 1.1.1.0 - Here
- Half Life Patch 1.1.1.2 Steamless - Here
Create a folder in another director no where near steam, install Half Life into it, open it up insert key, close it then update to 1.1.1.0 and then to 1.1.1.2 do not update directly to 1.1.1.2 as it doesn't work that way :/
2. Master Sword 1.0
- Master Sword 1.0 - Here
- Master Sword 1.01 - Here
Install Master Sword 1.0 to your Half Life Directory
Run it once so it creates general config files, close it then run the Master Sword 1.01 update unzip that to the folder where MS is located.
A finish folder should look like this

Open up Half Life and make sure it loads the ppatcher.exe
Then select Custom Mode - MS and hit Activate
Absolute last but not least. - You have to play in the default video settings otherwise loading into a map will crash

Now you can come play the original mod with me and co.
If someone can host let me know or we'll sort something out need to forward ports and such.
Enjoy
