We hadn't anticipated that so many people wouldn't have HL2: Episode 1, but all is not lost. You can still play the mod if you have Half-Life 2 and Source SDK Base installed. Source SDK Base can be found under the Tools tab in Steam - so make sure you have it and Half-Life 2 installed and read on...

Now your going to need to make a shortcut to launch using Source SDK Base. So, make a new shortcut wherever you want it, and fill in the follwing in the the Target & Start In fields:

Target:

"Path to Steam.exe" -applaunch 215 -game "Path to Bloodstone mod directory"

Startin:

"Path to Steam directory"

You should then be able to launch the mod, have fun.

Hi, I don't have episode one so I followed these instructions, but all that opens is Source Test

In "Target" I have:

"C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 215 "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\Bloodstone"

and in "Start In":

"C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam"

Plus, Bloodstone isn't showing up in my Steam games list but is definately installed in the "\SteamApps\SourceMods\Bloodstone" Directory!

Please help me out! How do I get it to work?

Hello DeadRyu,

you don't need to put the "_"

Hello Matban,

you fogot to put the "-game" parameter in the Target. Is there a second bloodstone folder within the one in sourcemods? make sure there ain't.

Regards
