Setting up Half-Life through RetroPie (A Guide)
-
@ExarKunIv That seemed to work, thank you. I removed it all and reinstalled. Thought it would take longer, but was quick. Then installed xash3d-fwgs.
-
@Retro-Arcade-Fan I'm glad that worked out.
Yeah it is a bit confusing from going from a old repo to a new version when we changed quite a bit on how things get installed.

@ExarKunIv Thanks. The take-away seems to be it's best to remove and install from scratch! So excited to play Half Life again on my arcade cabinet. Thanks again for all of your help!! I appreciate all of your previous and future work on these ports.

I'm seeing this thread now. I am not 100% sure this is your issue @Retro-Arcade-Fan, but it is what happened to me. I had the old/original version of the Extras scripts installed. They are mixed in with all the other normal Retropie setup scripts. The new install places the scripts in a better location, making them more manageable, but if you already had the prior version they will still be there and Retropie won't recognize the new ones.
My simple fix to this was to compare the cloned folder from git with the existing Retropie setup folders and remove any matching files. Then, you can "clean install" from install-extras.sh.
Here is a simple command for you:
diff -qrs RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/ | grep -v "Only" | cut -d " " -f2 | xargs rm -
@plimbs Thanks for chiming in here. Fortunately once I removed the old install and did the new install, it fixed the problem. It's playing perfectly now.

@ExarKunIv failing to build Half-Life again. Git location "DEPRECATED in favor of https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs."

@plimbs cant confirm.
i just pulled my script from my github and built it just fine,give it a try again and if it is still not working, i would recommend removing that script and redownloading it from the github
-
@ExarKunIv I apologize. I'm stupid. I didn't hunt down every last trace of the original scripts, and there was still a piece out there running instead of yours.
