Jeg har problemer med at få halflife til at virke?

Det kunne godt tyde på at du mangler bitmap filen, eller at den ikke er blevet læst rigtigt ind under installationen.
Du kan enten gøre det at du sletter hele dynen og geninstallerer, eller at du opdaterer din version til den nyeste inden du starter op.

Du finder den nyeste version her

"Could not open bitmap file 'gfx/shell/btns_main.bmp' "

If this error occurs during installion then there wasn't sufficient space on your HDD.
What this means is that the game is trying to decompress a file called pak0.pak
that is compressed on the CD to 295,809 KB, in which it's almost about 300 MB needed.
So, free your HDD space, giving the file some room to fit on your HDD.

Remember, the whole game needs at least 500 MB to be installed onto the HDD.
600+ MB is recommended. If you don't have 600+ MB free on your HDD, delete any files that
are not in use. If this can't be accomplished, then you can't install the game and play it.
After gaining more free space, delete the Half-Life folder and re-install the game.


One rare case is that this error comes up when something is accessing the pak0.pak. I ran
into this problem when I had QpedII opening up pak0.pak and Half-Life running. It wouldn't permit
QpedII editing pak0.pak or exploring it if Half-Life is going to be running. Close anything that
could have access to this pak0.pak file and it wouldn't give you this error anymore.

The last and rare case would be a bad installation of Half-Life. Re-install the game again.

Fandt lige det her for at bekræfte min første teori :0)
