bizzare half life problem

[hutchdave]

i can not get the hev suit at the beginning of game...it worked before on win98se but not on xp pro sp2 which i have now..my question is :could a nocd crack have done this or is it something else...i have uninstalled and reinstalled but to no avail...please answer

[silent_dr3am]

i dont think that would have been caused by the nocd crack, sounds like a glitch related to xp pro sp2 / graphics card.

what version Direct x are you runing, have you updated your GPU drivers and have u updated Half life?

Making a Short Cut
If you're having trouble with some of Half-Life's Levels, or just want to experiment, there are a number of cheat codes you can use. Before you can use these codes, however, you'll have to do two things
First: Create a special shortcut to run the game from.
The easiest way to create your shortcut is to make a copy of the one Half-Life creates for you, or edit your shortcut directly. Once you've found your shortcut, right-click on it and choose "Properties". In the "Target" area (after hl.exe), one space then enter the following:
-console -dev


Enabling Basic Cheats
Start a new game, and then open the console (either hit ESCAPE to return to the main menu and select "console", or press ~ the tilde key), and type sv_cheats 1 and press enter. Next enable developer mode by typing developer 1 and then pressing enter. You can automate all of this by using the following command-line to load Half-Life: hl.exe -console -dev +sv_cheats 1 (note the spaces before '-', '+', and '1', those are required).

Before using any of the cheat codes listed below, load a saved game.

If you're cheating and you are still trying to complete it for the first time, be sure to disable cheats before saving a game or playing the "Apprehension" or "Nihilanth" Half-Life episodes. These episodes (and possibly some others) do not always play correctly when cheats are enabled (scripted sequences appear to hang). If you have problems moving from one episode to another, or if you see bug in the scripted actions in the game, try disabling cheats before playing that part.

/GIVE xxxx - give item xxxx. The following items are available:
item_airtank
item_antidote
item_battery
item_healthkit
item_longjump
item_security
item_sodacan
item_suit
------

give your self a suit and see how it goes... ;)

nice work dram ,i'll give it a go

[hutchdave]

i tried the cheat but had no luck...everthing worked until i typed "/give suit"

do i type the whole line "/give suit - give item_suit" or just "/give suit" ?
i tried all combos i think but it still didnt work......

[crznazn991]

]"give item_suit"

[hutchdave]

damm thing still wont work....i have almost had enough stuffing around with this game......maybe the cheats dont work with the updated version 1.1110....any more theories would be most welcome,esp. in regards to why it wont let me get the suit in the first place.....thanx

[Dr.MAD]

Did the other cheats work? Try the "impulse 101" cheat. It gives you more HEV power and all weapons.
However, I noticed that this cheat doesn't seem to work immediately after you enabled cheat mode... I had to wait a few minutes. Strange, but so it was.

[hutchdave]

yes i managed to get the cheats to work...i got the suit but the game still wont recognise the suit or player..ie all door or buttons have no light therfore cannot be activated...makes for a pretty boring game...my theory is that it must be xp glitch....
