[PC-Non-Steam] Half-life Source [DIGITALZONE]

Half-Life: Source Standalone Edition This is the standalone version of Half-Life: Source released by DigitalZone. Half-Life: Source is a digitally remastered version of the critically acclaimed and best selling PC game, enhanced via Source technology to include physics simulation, enhanced effects, and more. The original Half-Life released in November 1998 was Valve Software’s debut title and shocked pretty much everybody by delivering a truly groundbreaking, engrossing, single-player game along with a surprisingly fun and stable online experience. Half-Life went on to win over 50 "Game of The Year" awards from various publications and spawned a variety of successful modifications, add-ons, and mission packs. Today, Half-Life is still by far the most popular first person shooter online. In Half-Life, you take on the role of Gordon Freeman, an innocent scientist who gets caught in the middle of a government experiment that goes tragically wrong, flooding the Black Mesa Research Facility with aliens and monsters. Fortunately, the government sends in the Marines. Unfortunately, they want to wipe out everything, including you.   Half-Life: Source is the very same game but imported into Half-Life 2's Source engine. It won't be seeing as much of an extensive overhaul as Counter-Strike has. It will be more of a direct port so the level geometry, textures, sounds and models will remain wholly unchanged from the original, however, all of these old graphics will benefit greatly from all of the latest features in the Source engine including some shader effects (such as realistic water), dynamic lighting and shadow effects and full use of the Havok physics engine and rag-doll physics. Just imagine that classic Half-Life game play and engrossing storyline, but every time you throw a hand grenade at a grunt, instead of him acting out a generic death animation (and probably clipping through the wall), he hurtles through the air realistically and bounces to the ground, or shooting the crossbow at a grunt and watch him be impaled on the nearest wall. It may not be all that different from the original Half-Life, but it's sure going to be fun... For further information visit our forums: www.digitalzone.eu.tt EnjoY!

Can somebody verify this? It appears to be one file, "Half-Life Source.exe". Shouldn't it be a disc image or something?

juks30 (2009-01-10)

sound is little bit behind beacuse when i shoot a gun i can hear the shot 1sec later

jdubs420 (2009-01-15)

thank you for the download works perfect i will seed til i can't

nameless4321 (2009-01-31)

Works but i can't see my weapons i'm holding. they work in training but in the main game there invisible but they work anyone know how to fix this?

Jonlissla (2009-02-09)

So far, the game works, but just as juks30 implied, the sound is a little off-sync with the pistol. Haven't gotten any new weapons so far, but in case of they're different, I'll post here.
The game also lacks the HD-pack which made Blue Shift such a good buy. Gonna try looking for a link.

Thank you very much man!

deathpickle8000 (2010-07-11)

you cant install the high def pack i tried, to overwrite the models and that but all it does is make it crash everytime you try to load a game or start a new one :( but if you want to try download here

Nicksta94 (2010-09-21)

I get a run time error when I start the game. It get's to the loading screen for the menu and then runtime error. Advice anyone?

Hudi85 (2010-10-20)

To correct the Audio (Bug) Latency do the following:

-Open the autoexec.cfg file with Notepad
(You can find it in :\Program Files\Half Life 2\hl1\cfg by default)
-Change the "How needs a sound bug?" section from
// How needs a sound bug?
snd_mixahead "0.5"
snd_async_fullyasync "1"
cl_forcepreload "1"
sv_forcepreload "1"
to
// How needs a sound bug?
//snd_mixahead "0.5"
//snd_async_fullyasync "1"
//cl_forcepreload "1"
//sv_forcepreload "1"
-Save it and delete in the same directory the old config.cfg file
(It was changed from the autoexec.cfg, you will need to reenter your control settings)
-Now you can start the game and the sound should be fixed

Thank you so much that worked!
BUT now all the BLOOD in the game is gone! (like "Piassa" wrote).
Anyone know hav to fix this ?
Ive tryed to get my hand on the "Source violence pack", but no success. :(

C.J.Max (2011-04-28)

To Aeshir, HL:S doesnt need a disc to be installed, so it being an executable file means that is the installer. It is safe.

maakri (2011-06-19)

this is not half life source. It's half life 1 repackaged with a better main menu. The game is half life 1. explains the small size.

Trooper91 (2011-06-29)

Getting runtime error on vista help please?

 woollytorrent (2011-12-29)

got to black mesa east, everything working fine, and there is no way possible of getting in the lift and getting it to go up! the silly bitch wont come and escort me! downloading another copy now!

gellis2010 (2012-01-23)

I honestly dont know whats wrong with some people. they just make comments without thinking or testing things out first.
Installed
playing
works.
It IS half life source and it DOES work fine.
just to let you know half life source is just half life 1 without updated character and monster models and added lighting effects.
the textures are pretty much the same and the level design is unchanged. bit lazy from valve but this is half life source.

raeniel20 (2012-04-07)

Can you install mods on this? Because its non steam..>??

andjew29 (2012-06-09)

oh my god digital zone torrents are sooo fucking pathetic, can't create a torrent of half life that fucking works? Kill yourself.
I click on the icon and it just doesn't open, same with their half life 2 torrents.

Vietcong44 (2012-11-24)

I cant run the game, I tried accepting it to firewall and running it in comp and as admin but it still won't start!
