<div class="IPBDescription">Can i use this to run HL mods?</div> I know this is probably a dumb question. But ages ago i purchased Blue-shift to play mods like CS, NS etc.
At the time i Dident know that i needed original half-life to run mods. The store i bought this from wouldent take it back because well.. i opened it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->. Later i used a friends cd to install half-life and used my blue-shift Cd key. (i dident think this would be illegal or anything considering i payed for the blue-shift cd-key) It worked fine for months. But just recently ive started making maps with valve hammer. And when i tryed to test run my NS map it gave me these errors

host_init: couldent load gfx/pallette.lmp
MOD_numforname: sprites/dot.spr

Now ANY mod i run gives me these errors! Its never done this befor.

And i have a few questions..

1. Can i use blue-shift's engin to run HL mods?
im alittle confused, ive read that BS is actualy a MOD of half-life.. but considering you dont NEED hl installed to play BS it made me consider that maybe BS came with the HL engin (just a different .exe name maybe)

2. Is it illegal to use a BS cd-key with a HL engin like i am doing currently?

3. Is there anywhere i can download these missing files? (palette.lmp dot.spr)

If what i have been doing is.. illegal.. I will definatly do anything i can to correct this error.
I would have just bought original HL but i live in a small -redneck- town. We dont exactly have a great selection of computer/game stores and the few we do dont carry old games like this. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
And we have no credit cards so internet purchases arn't an option...
Anyways, thanks for those who can help.

    1. No. Blue-Shift was originally an expansion pack for HL on the PS2, (Which is why it's so short), so it's possible that when they released it for the PC that they ported it poorly or something. Point is, mods will not work with BS.
    However, they will work with CS retail if you can get your hands on that.

    2. It's completely <b>legal</b>. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    3. Sorry... Don't know about this. Are you using Steam or WON, becuase it's possible that Steam could bug out with Worldcraft/Hammer...
    If no-one else posts a better solution then I suggest you re-install Half-Life and see if it works then.

    I do have steam installed.. but i am not using it with anything..
    I got it to try out the new Cs.. but it crashed and annoyed me to a point that I dont care about CS anymore <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I dont use steam for anything else, and i told it to make its own files also.. so i dont know how it would effect my HL directory.

    This problem is very recent.. I was making a custom NS map for a server i goto alot, and i just went to test a map and it crashed.. i restarted my pc and those error messages started up.

    I dont have a HL cd, and the backup copyed saved on my pc buged up somehow.. i cant extract/run it.
    Im sorta screwed <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Actually, it was originally an epansion of half-life on the DreamCast, but when HL for DC got canceled, valve put blue shift out on stores. (i got one where i have Blueshift-Opposing force-and the High Definition pack for 20$) <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That is definitely not a rare case. If you checked the Steam forums out yourself you would find so much hate against steam it's <b>unbelievable</b>.
