If I want a Half-Life for Garrys Mod, which is the one to get?

[Jorici]

Yeah, yeah, don't flame me for not having an HL2s yet.

But, as the title says, which is the best for Garry's Mod?

I will eventually get around to buying them all, but just asking.

And yes, Orange Box is more expensive if I just want the Half-Lives in it.

I'm low on cash.

just go ahead and get the orange box even if you have tf2 and portal it's cheaper to get hl2/ep1/ep2 that way

Nope.

OB is 30 bucks, all the HLs are 24.

Well then do that

You should probably buy the Orange Box first, because of the variety of the games. However, you should consider buying Counter-Strike: Source later on because a lot of add-ons and gamemodes use its weapons and content.

You will see tons of errors in any server if you do not have CS:S. But, I would say just get TOB for the extra content from Portal. I've seen people use that a good amount of the time.

Orange Box and CS:S

Just get orange box.
If you don't get orange box prepare for "ERROR".

Actually for Garry's Mod just buy CSS, buying CSS will give you all the Hl2 content (because of some shared .gcf's they have) and of course the CSS content as well which is used in nearly ALL Garry's mod servers.

[Jorici]

I have CSS.

I don't recall saying I didn't, so I don't know how it turned into people tellign me to buy it. Thanks for trying to help, though.


What about these ERRORs if i don't get orange box?

Are the games different or something?

[steve5451]

No, like The Orange Box is all the Source games in one pack. If you just get CS:S, you will see errors for the Jalopy vehicle and every Episode 1/2 model.
If you can't get The Orange Box, get CS:S though, alot of maps use CS:S. c:

Any time someone uses a model from a game you don't have, you'll see a large flashing red ERROR model. Collision on it is really annoying too, since it doesn't scale - it doesn't matter whether the missing model is something huge like one of those things in portal, or something really tiny, the ERROR will be the same size.

Oh yeah, missing textures are pretty bad too, ranging from purple/black checkerboard to wireframe.
