USS Darkstar (Steam Fix) is a fixed version of the original mod where the contents of the .pak file have been extracted for proper compatibility with the Steam version of Half-Life.

The original mod causes an error when attempting to automatically add it to the Steam library, since the program cannot access the .pak file, and the liblist.gam file checks for DLL libraries in the wrong location. This fix resolves both issues.

How to install a mod USS Darkstar (Steam Fix)

  1. Extract the darkstar folder and place it into the root directory of the game.

  2. Launch the game, go to the Change game menu, and select the mod.

  3. Play!

To avoid entering the "Change game" menu every time you start the mod, you can:

Option 1: Launch via shortcut

  1. Go to the properties of hl.exe and in the Target field (for example: "D:\Games\Half-Life\hl.exe") add a space and then write -game followed by the name of the mod folder in the game root directory. It should look like this: "D:\Games\Half-Life\hl.exe" -game mod_folder_name

  2. Apply the changes.

  3. Launch the mod using this shortcut.

Option 2: Launch via Steam

  1. Open Steam, click on the "Games" menu > "Add a Non-Steam Game".

  2. Browse to the game folder and select hl.exe.

  3. A shortcut will appear in your library.

  4. Right-click on it, select Properties, and in the "Launch Options" field write the full path to hl.exe (for example: "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\hl.exe") and add -game plus the mod folder name after a space. It should look like this: "D:\Games\Half-Life\hl.exe" -game mod_folder
