Does anyone know if GCFScape will work in Windows XP Professional x64 Edition

244. BluefangPosted: Apr 28th, 2006 - 10:49:29 am
it should run no matter what (due to the 32-bit emulation), but if you have the 64-bit version of the .NET 2.0, it should run in 64-bit mode. be sure to download the most recent vrsion (v1.4.1). The download page also has links to the .NET downloads (including the x64 version).

Hey. Thanks for making this Nem.

Currently I'm trying to export a Counter-Terrorist model from CS:S, but there are VTX files as well as PHY files. I'm not sure which one's to export.

[I plan to assign a Half-Life 1 model to its skeleton and bring it back into CS:S.

EDIT: Found the files I believe are the right ones.

I exported (GIGN):

ct_gign.dx90.vtx

ct_gign.mdl

ct_gign.phy

ct_gign.sw.vtx

ct_gign.vvd

IDST,.smd

When I went to decompile the model with Milkshape I got this error, followed by a crash:

"Error writing .BMP"

The textures must be somewhere else?

EDIT: I tried decompiling without textures and it just crashed instantly, mentioning the IDST,.smd




260. NemPosted: May 17th, 2007 - 2:33:12 pm
I don't really know anything about modeling or decompiling models in anything other than Crafty.

261. nicu4deeaPosted: Jun 10th, 2007 - 4:31:30 am
Okay well.. first of all i salute all of you hard working ppl the made this program possible.. i think its a great program thet cand be of great use to thouse who know or learn how to use it...
And now my problem is... when i try to acces(opend) the program it gives me "G:\Programs\Steam\SteamApps\half-life engine.gcf
This application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. "
My quiestion to you now is... why does it give me this? and how could i make this work?
Awaying your reply :)

262. NemPosted: Jun 10th, 2007 - 1:31:32 pm
Have you tried the FAQ?

263. nicu4deeaPosted: Jun 11th, 2007 - 3:43:56 am
yes i did and.. in the FAQ.. it only says thet if any start up problems persists... you should install NET. framework or whats its name cause its writen in C++ NET. framework and it requires it... and thet other things there only say about if you get problems trying to open a file... but i dont have problems at file unpacking or something, cause i cant even get the program to run.. and yes'v installed NET. Frameworks to... still say's "G:\Programs\Steam\SteamApps\half-life engine.gcf
This application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

264. NemPosted: Jun 11th, 2007 - 2:13:24 pm
I wonder if it's because I built the HLLib.dll in VS 2003... Do you have the .NET v1.1 Framework installed (along with the v2.0 Framework)?

265. StovePosted: Jun 22nd, 2007 - 11:14:01 pm
Amazing program Nem, it worked perfectly (i have .net 1.1 and 2.0 installed), keep up the great work!

266. THEnubPosted: Jul 19th, 2007 - 8:35:55 pm
hey Numb094 just out of curiosity... what exactly is IDST,.smd and were do you find it?

267. NemPosted: Jul 21st, 2007 - 8:06:31 pm
IDST is the internal identifier for Source .mdl files, and .smd is the input model format for studiomdl.exe.

268. PolterPosted: Oct 22nd, 2007 - 4:42:10 am
can i use .NET framework 2.0 on this?

269. amgadPosted: Oct 22nd, 2007 - 1:23:27 pm
is there currently a way to import .OBj or any other modeler format in Terrain Generator.and if not is there gonna be any .OBJ importer for any time soon.

I've used this mod to interact with Portal, splicing Half-Life 2 files with Portal files. I've completed the process, however whenever I start Portal with a Half-Life 2 map, there's no sound. How do I fix this?

Hey everyone,
Im having trouble trying to run Counter Strike Source which includes Halflife 2:Death Match and Day of defeat.. My comp is under Vista and i get an error message saying:

Progran: C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe

(Press Retry to debug the application - JIT debugging must be enabled)


Soooooo....... how do i enable this debugging thingy or do i have to do something else?? Please help me

I wana play it...

Thanks bud

274. Babyface01Posted: Dec 29th, 2007 - 4:52:24 am
Can anyone tell me how to enable the JIT Debugging on Windows Vista Home Premium pls?? where

275. NemPosted: Dec 29th, 2007 - 1:44:39 pm
This really isn't an appropriate place to seek help with Steam. The official Valve forums are where you want to be. That said, debugging isn't going to help you unless you have the source code to Steam. I have very little experience with Vista, but judging by your error message, it may be a problem of permissions. Try elevating the privileges of Steam to the administrative level.

276. cedPosted: Mar 5th, 2008 - 4:38:02 am
if anyone is having problems TRY FORMAT C: XD!
it`s th best medecine against that windows vista shit.
the differene with vista and XP? XP has YEARS of bugtracking in record PLUS vista has got LOTS of unnessecary CRAP! bleeh

if you are experiencing ANY problems ieth vista: GET XP! (or linux)theforce

(i am not responible for any damage done to any vista computer after this message :p)

277. cedPosted: Mar 5th, 2008 - 4:40:47 am
ow and btw: you dont need JIT it`s a debugger for java apps. debugging does not equal repairing. so you probably dont need it.

oh guz i want to know, can you use this program to play half life 2 without buying it, cuz i got the demo and it has all the files for HL 2, so uh can i extract them to a single folder (all the files) and then launch the game!? if NO then guz do you know where i can get the game for free without taking loads of time?!


Thanks!

283. FatherlyNickPosted: Jul 12th, 2008 - 6:36:27 pm
well u just go to new game and well if the default settings r OK for you just press START then if u have bots (look for them on google) open the console by ` or ~ key (it should b below ESCAPE) and type in - add_bot_ct for a Counter terrorist bot or bot_add_t for bot on the terrorist side! but if u want to play online go to the thingy below NEW GAME then wait for the server list to finish loading and join the most comfortable game for you, (though you might get kicked or booted for no reason)theforce

Whenever I try to open a GCF file or GCFScape it pulls up in an error that says "Application has generated an exception that can't be handled. Procces id=0x2e0 (736), Thread id=0xb8
(184)
Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application."
And when I hit cancel it says "Registered JIT debugger is not available."
I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.
So whats wrong?bored

285. neomadePosted: May 25th, 2009 - 3:20:55 pm
I have a question:

I am trying to test some custom made models on HL2 but when i put it in the game folder nothing happens.
The game is still taking it's resources from the .gcf files independent of the files i added in the hl2 folder.
Now don't ask me silly questions like " dude did you place them in the models folder?" yes i did everything and checked and double checked everything...how can i bypass this or if not possible, how to overwrite and replace the files in the .gcf files?
Thanks in advance

293. DomIIIModified: Sep 21st, 2010 - 4:21:57 am
@Mr.Mister, see the first 3 posts here
@IceBreaker, you can use HLExtract from HLLib for that purpose, a how-to is here
EDIT: GCFScape 1.8.1 has that feature, just upgrade and select Tools->Batch->Validate
@Eggybreadistasty, does GCFScape start or does it crash?
@siralex, are you sure the file is complete? have you tried to validate it through steam?

294. EndGameModified: Oct 24th, 2010 - 3:38:35 am
Hi im trying to use GCFScape to export the HL2 files into Portal, so I can use the Portal Gun in the HL2 campaigns. I have all of the orange box plus more.

My problem has a few parts:
1. When extracting files from the GCF I do not want to overwrite existing files, nor do I want to extract the 0 Byte files.
2. I do not know why each GCF has 0 byte files that are also in another GCF (with real bytes), but this is creating a problem for me trying to get all the data in one place.
3. I do not know what all files the HL2 campaigns need, and which GCFs they are in. The ones I have been extracting from are: Half Life 2 Content, Half Life 2 2007 base Content, Source 2007 Shared Materials, Source 2007 Shared Models, Source 2007 Shared Sounds, Source Materials, Source Models, Source Sounds.
4. I do not know exactly where to extract all the materials because the portal file structure is confusing. In portal/materials there are materials folders but also a models folder, but there is also a models folder at portal/models.
5. I have been able to launch a HL2 map from portal, and use the portal gun as expected. However most of the textures have a purple overlay, some textures are missing and you can see thru the grid, some textures show up as purple checkered board, some textures show up as static like on the TV (ant race), the lighting/shading on all surfaces changes from bright to dark and in between while moving or rotating camera.

I have seen several videos and screen shots of people successfully playing HL2 maps in Portal, essentially as if they where bonus maps I suppose. Unfortunately I cannot seem to get all the content in the right place. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
