Content Installer

Note This is a .NET tool

Note This tool is included in the hlu/tools directory in the Releases available here

The Content Installer tool is used to copy, convert and upgrade Half-Life game assets for a mod installation. This will copy campaign, training and multiplayer maps and apply any necessary upgrades and bug fixes.

It will also install a default config.cfg with correct key bindings if there is none in the mod directory.

Usage

Command line

Usage:
  ContentInstaller [options]

Options:
  --mod-directory <mod-directory>            Path to the mod directory
  --dry-run                                  If provided no file changes will be written to disk
  --diagnostics-level <All|Common|Disabled>  The diagnostics level to set [default: Disabled]
  --version                                  Show version information
  -?, -h, --help                             Show help and usage information

The mod directory should point to your local copy of the mod installation.

You can optionally provide --dry-run to see which files would be copied without actually making any changes.

It is recommended to use a script to pass the arguments automatically. For example, using a batch file placed in the directory containing the game installation (typically Half-Life):

dotnet "path/to/ContentInstaller.dll"^
	--mod-directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/hlu"

You can then execute the batch file without having to provide the arguments every time.

Error reporting

If any errors occur the tool will log it to the console and stop execution.
