![]() ![]() I've tried to "downgrade" the Steam version to a WON version but have been unsuccessful (please let me know if anyone has been able to do this). DoD 1.3b just doesn't work 100% with it as stated above. dll files were changed when Valve ported HL over to Steam. There are copies of the WON/SIERRA version floating around on the Internet but I can't provide you links to those here for obvious reasons.Ĭan I use the Steam version of Half-Life that I already own?.Amazon has used copies of the version you need for cheap.Īll you need is standalone Half-Life (don't need the bundle packs with the expansion sets): Half-Life GOTY Edition [.Find and dust off your CD that you probably bought at EB games way back when :).Before Steam Half-Life was distributed via physical media (these things called CDs for you youngins :D) Half-Life used to run on the World Opponent Network (WON) before it was shutdown when Valve introduced Steam. Prerequisites: You'll need a copy of a pre-steam version of Half-Life (version 1.1.1.0 or earlier for this version of DoD to work). Please let me know if anything here needs clarification or if you are having issues and I can help you troubleshoot. I'll provide some links below for some alternatives on hosting across the Internet so other players can find your server. We’re going to start with the first popular beta version which was 1.3b.įor more info on Day of Defeat (and the confusing version history) see the information I posted here:īecause we have to use the old WON version of Half-Life (and WON was shutdown after Half-Life transitioned to Steam) you won't be able to use the Valve master servers for hosting. I’ll be creating guides for setting up the other beta versions of Day of Defeat in the future (Beta 2.1 and 3.1). The only working bots for 1.3b are called Sturmbot (Version 1.1) and those bots are not compatible with the Steam version of Half-Life either.Īlso note: This is *NOT* a set-up guide for DoD Beta 3.1 (last beta before the retail version 1.0) or DoD 1.3 (which is the latest DoD version you can download via Steam). DoD 1.3b came out in 2001 while Steam was released in 2004 so you can see why they aren’t compatible :)Ģ. I spent many hours searching for a solution on the the net looking for a way around this but it just comes down to the major changes valve made to Half-life when they ported it over to Steam. There is a bug that crashes the game when you get killed while holding a TNT object (which would not allow play on about 50% of the original maps). ![]() Unfortunately Day of Defeat Beta 1.3b does not work 100% with the Steam version of Half-Life. This is guide is using the *Non-Steam* version for a couple of reasons:ġ. The method listed below will create a Half-Life installation completely separate from your Steam files so you do not have to worry about messing anything up in your existing Steam installation. You will need a copy of the original WON version of Half-Life (aka the SIERRA version of Half-Life that you would install via a CD). This setup guide uses the *Non-Steam* versions of Half-Life and the Day of Defeat mod. At the end of this guide you'll have a running Half-Life DoD client install along with a HLDS which will allow for LAN play for you and friends. ![]()
