Cannot find gfx.wad / hl.wad

[Darthtoast]

Well here's my prob:
Whenever a server switches maps (CS or TFC), I get a message saying the computer couldn't find gfx.wad, or hl.wad, or liquids.wad. I've tried reinstalling, and that didn't help at all.
Here's some random computer specs (yay)
Celeron 400
Micron 128MB SDRAM
3D Prophet
SB 512 Platinum

Anyone got some ideas? lol

it happens if your directory structure is not right. Note that you won't find the gfx.wad file because it doesn't actually exist as an ordinary file - it is part of the PAK file.

Make a subdirectory in your halflife directory called ID1 and move your *.pak file, *.cfg and *.sav files into that folder.

dunno if it gonna work but used to work in Q1 and since halflife still uses stuff from the Q1 engine it might work .. prolly not hehe

Think it would help any if I put a copy of the wads in the normal HL dir?

thos wads are in the pak file you would need to unzip the pak file
