Setting up Half-Life through RetroPie (A Guide)
-
@eputley well thanks again and enjoy your vacation!
-
@quicksilver If anybody knows how to set up a gamepad controller with the new version of xash3d please let me know what to do
-
@ExarKunIv so does the step:3 here not apply with the new xash3d-fwgs? I just dont get where youre supposed to add that "-sdl_joy_old_api" line. or if you even still do that.
-
@eputley I don't know. I might of tryed that back then. But since I use a different way I don't bother anymore
The method above is for a old script which is why it might not work anymore
-
@quicksilver Yeah from what ive been seeing from other people is that when they updated xash3d it they were having no problems using their controllers but for me when I boot up half life it only recognized my mouse and keyboard I have no input on my controller
-
Setting up a new Pi 4. I can no longer build Xash3D from source, per the instructions. (I have forgotten whether I was able to the first time I did this on a 4.) I installed from binary instead. Then I used @quicksilver's xash3d-fwgs replacement file. It seems to run.
The message I got was that libmenu.so could not be found.
Maybe this is a new issue with the most recent changes in the repo? I'm not sure.

@plimbs
https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
Has a new updated install script, I believe to fix that issue -
@ExarKunIv WOW. Excellent work! Flawlessly installs and runs, and I really like the improved menus over the original Extras script.
-
@plimbs I'm glad it worked out for you
I'm happy you like the new menu. @sleve_mcdichael worked hard on it.

@ExarKunIv Hi. When I type in the following:
cd ~
cd RetroPie-Extra/
./update-extras.shI get this:
-bash: ./update-extras.sh: No such file or directory
-
@Retro-Arcade-Fan
Next time make a new post or in suggestions for ports #2
Just to keep this post more for half lifeWhen did you fist download RetroPie-Extra. If was awhile ago.
Things have changed so your load probably doesn't have that file to update it. -
@ExarKunIv I am posting here specifically for Half Life. Tried it before and didn't have success. Read here that the updated extras made it work. Yes, it's been several months since I first installed extras.
That being said, to get Half Life working, what's the best way to proceed please?
-
@Retro-Arcade-Fan yes 2 weeks ago the half life script was updated.
we changed the update script back in april so if it before then then look here for help.
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31580/suggestions-for-ports-2/191
is it was after, then
./update-extras.shshould work -
@ExarKunIv Definitely before. I went to the link but there seems to be conflicting postings. It's a long post. Is the following the best way to update an old install?
cd ~/RetroPie-Extra
git pull origin
./install-extras.shor
git reset --hard HEAD^
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
git pull origin -

git pull origini would say that since you have the same thing going on as who @sleve_mcdichael was helping
-
@ExarKunIv Alright. Update finished. However, after 30 minutes, I got this error:
Could not successfully build xash3d-fwgs - xash3d-fwgs - Half-Life Engine Port (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/xash3d-fwgs/xash3d-fwgs/build/mainui/libmenu.so not found).
/home/pi -
@Retro-Arcade-Fan i think somehow it is still running the old script.
i did a fresh download from my github it installs fine.
but now what to do to fix it -
@ExarKunIv When/If you or someone else figures it out, please let me know. In the meantime, is there any way to just do the updated install for half life?
p.s.: What does "clean source folder" mean under the install?
@sleve_mcdichael any ideas?
-
@Retro-Arcade-Fan said in Setting up Half-Life through RetroPie (A Guide):
clean source folder
cleans the folder the install script uses to build the files that are needed for the port to work. cleaning it just deletes that folder.
-
@Retro-Arcade-Fan after you updated it did you run
cd RetroPie-Extra/ ./install-extras.shyou updating the script does not install or update any of the ones that are already installed to where the RetroPie menu sees them. you need to reinstall them.
i think that will overwrite them. not too sure @sleve_mcdichael would know better on what the install-extras does
