I’ve been watching [www.twitch.tv/cirno\_tv](http://www.twitch.tv/cirno_tv) run Half Life 1, and it looks like a lot of fun. He says he uses a separate client and I’m curious about that, I have the game on Steam but do I need to rebuy the game on said client? Any information on running the game would be appreciated. ---

Most HL1 (GoldSrc) running is done on the NGHL client - [http://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/New\_Gauge\_Half-Life\_Client](http://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/New_Gauge_Half-Life_Client) - And most HL1 scripts are found here - [http://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/Half-Life\_Scripts](http://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/Half-Life_Scripts) If you want extra information about your viewangle, xyz pos, and more, place the bunnymod pro folder into the NGHL directory - [http://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/Bunnymod\_Pro](http://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/Bunnymod_Pro) Other questions can probably be answerd here - [Half-Life basics, tutorials, downloads - Helpdesk, ask questions here](https://forums.sourceruns.org/t/half-life-basics-tutorials-downloads-helpdesk-ask-questions-here/1907) HL:Source on the other hand, I have no idea, I believe they are using the steam version. ---

For Half Life: Source we use an earlier version to allow for demo playback. However the difference between the versions doesn’t change the gameplay so any glitches on any version of Half Life: Source remain between version switches so if you’re trying to learn Source then it’ll do fine. ---

Typical, has anyone ever completed a full run and uploaded? ---

I don’t believe so. There are quite a few route demos on the dropbox but apart from that the scene has always been quite dead. ---

This is the only thing I could find, and it’s not all that good. ---

I’m pretty sure Elgu has been running HLS, maybe he has a run on his Twitch. Jeralulz said he also made a SS run but he didn’t stream it, so idk.
