Half-Life 2 mods

Most HL2 mods can be fixed by modifying the FileSystem block in the gameinfo.txt file with this:

	FileSystem
	{
		SteamAppId 220

		SearchPaths
		{
			game+mod	|gameinfo_path|.
			platform	|gameinfo_path|.

			game_lv		hl2/hl2_lv.vpk
			game+mod	hl2/hl2_sound_vo_english.vpk
			game+mod	hl2/hl2_pak.vpk
			game		|all_source_engine_paths|hl2/hl2_textures.vpk
			game		|all_source_engine_paths|hl2/hl2_sound_misc.vpk
			game		|all_source_engine_paths|hl2/hl2_misc.vpk
			platform	|all_source_engine_paths|platform/platform_misc.vpk

			mod+mod_write+default_write_path	|gameinfo_path|.
			game+game_write	|gameinfo_path|.
			gamebin		hl2/bin

			game		|all_source_engine_paths|hl2
			platform	|all_source_engine_paths|platform
		}
	}
}

Working mods

In my experience, the following mods work fine without modification:
