(included in Source Unpack v1.1+)

How to install:

  1. Extract the "Source Unpack" folder anywhere.
  2. Launch Half-Life 2 with HL2.cmd and Portal with Portal.cmd.


You can change the launch parameters in HL2.cmd and Portal.cmd to your desire, by default it is set to skip the startup video (Valve logo) ("-novid"), start in windowed mode ("-window"), the window will have no borders ("-noborder"), will have a resolution of your current screen resolution, up to 1920x1080 ("-w 1920 -h 1080") and be positioned in the very top left corner of your screen ("-x 0 -y 0"). The game will also launch with hardware DirectX level set to v9.0+ ("-dxlevel 95"), which is standart setting for those games.

YaLTeR's Source Pause Tool is included. You can enable it by typing "plugin_load spt" in the console. With SPT you can enable autojumping with "y_spt_autojump 1" and enable autopause with "y_spt_pause 1". These commands are useful for segmented runs. http://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/Source_Pause_Tool


RInput is included to remove any mouse acceleration in the game, making mouse movements more accurate. For more info: https://github.com/abort/Rinput-Library


How to install mods (some might work, some might not, Portal mods should work):

  1. Go to your "steamapps\sourcemods" folder.
  2. Copy a mod folder (for example, "portal prelude") into the Source Unpack folder.
  3. Create a copy of either HL2.cmd, or Portal.cmd, that does not matter and name it, for example, "Portal Prelude.cmd".
  4. Right click the .cmd file that you just created by copying and choose "Edit".
  5. Replace "-game hl2" or "-game portal" with "-game <your mod folder>", however note that if your mod folder contains spaces, like "portal prelude", you will need to surround <your mod folder> with double quotes, for example: -game "portal prelude".
  6. Launch the mod with the .cmd file that you just created.
