ermm what the sigma

i'm experiencing the same problem (32 bit binaries), it can load up a map through launch arguments, but doesn't recognize any inputs in game. there are some problems with viewmodels. what i did is copy hl2dm, delete bin folder, copy compiled files and overwrite existing ones. i used these launch arguments: hl2_launcher.exe -game hl2mp -dxlevel 95 -w 1920 -h 1080 -windowed -noborder -insecure +map dm_lockdown

the 64 bit binaries crash on load

[dimhotepus]

-dxlevel 85 as launch arguments.

Or copy shaders from tf2

Reason is dx 9+ shaders are changed by valve and not compatible with source.

[maksw2]

with -dxlevel 85 it crashes. i'm looking forward to the tf2 approach. can you tell me which files to copy over?

What if -dxlevel 90 ?

If not working, for TF2 go to tf2\shaders\, backup hl2\shaders, replace hl2\shaders with tf2\shaders.

hl2 works just fine, only hl2mp has that problem. i can't seem to find the shader files, is it in a .vpk?

well, I know only about hl2 issue. With hl2mp all is possible.

try to extract shaders from VPK.

after copying hl2's shaders it looks something like this

the buttons still make a sound when hovered over, and the loading image is still good. condebug showes this Convar developer has multiple help strings: parent (wins): "Set developer message level" child: "Set developer message level."

it's probably to do with vgui.

[nillerusr]

1. add -dxlevel 95 option
2. copy shaders( or hl2_misc_*.vpk ) from hl2 sp folder to mp hl2 folder. Also you can recompile stdshaders_dx9 from mp branch.

[maksw2]

i was able to run hl2mp and connect to a server simply by moving "hl2mp" folder to half-life 2 dir. lol.
