==Native==
Guides originally written by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMuSXs0SF_g James Hug]. This method builds a native port for older Source engine games, such as Half-Life 2, its episodes, and Portal.

Enter these commands into Terminal, Homebrew & Xcode Command Line Tools are required:

1. Install prerequisites from Homebrew and clone Repository (added the jpeg-turbo dependency from instructions):
<pre>
brew install sdl2 freetype2 fontconfig pkg-config opus libpng libedit python3 jpeg jpeg-turbo && brew cleanup
git clone --recursive https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine && cd source-engine
</pre>

2. Set pkg path:
<pre>
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/lib/pkgconfig"
</pre>

3. Configure, build and install the game into your Documents Folder:

<pre>python3 waf configure -T release --prefix='' --build-games=[game folder] && python3 waf build && python3 waf install --destdir='~/Documents/Build/[game folder]'
</pre>

Valid Game Folder Names:
*cstrike (Counter-Strike Source)
*episodic (Half-Life 2: Episode 1)
*ep2 (Half-Life 2: Episode 2, can be played without <code>python3 waf build</code>)
*hl1 (Half-Life: Source)
*hl2
*portal
*dod (Day of Defeat: Source)
*hl2mp (Half-Life 2: Deathmatch)

4. Open your "Half-Life 2" Folder. (Portal and/or Day of Defeat Source, if you're installing those games)
''(Right-Click > "Browse local files" on Steam.)''

5. Modify Installation Files
(If you're installing multiple games, you only need to replace the files from "[game folder]/bin"):
*Delete the root and game folder <code>"bin"</code> directories and <code>"hl2_osx"</code> executable
**Move your <code>"bin", "[game folder]/bin"</code> folders and <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> executable to your Half-Life 2 folder,
**and rename <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> to <code>"hl2_osx"</code>
Congratulations! You (hopefully) successfully built a working Native Source Port!

==Fixes & Tweaks==
'''THESE CONSOLE COMMANDS WILL NOT SAVE!'''

'''Quality/Performance'''
*MBP Notch Fix (Put these in your Steam Launch Options, Right-Click > "Properties..."):
<code>-noborder -windowed</code>

*Asynchronous Audio (Forces audio asynchronization. Removes audio stuttering in some cases.):
<code>snd_async_fullyasync 1
snd_async_minsize 0;snd_noextraupdate 1</code>

*Texture Quality Improvement
<code>mat_picmip -1;mat_antialias 4;mat_forceaniso 8</code>

*Software AA: Maximum Quality (Helps to remove further aliasing, such as power lines.)

<code>mat_software_aa_quality 8
mat_software_aa_strength 2;mat_software_aa_strength_vgui 2;mat_software_aa_blur_one_pixel_lines 0.5;mat_software_aa_edge_threshold .8</code>

'''Fixes'''
*HL2 Flashlight Fix

<code>r_newflashlight 0</code> (Replaces buggy HL2 flashlight with HL1 counterpart)

*<code>r_lod 0</code> (Disable nearby culling.)

==Known bugs==
*When playing with Airpods, the audio starts stuttering randomly. '''Fix:''' Mute and unmute the audio on the Macbook.

*Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Day of Defeat: Source show a black screen has no HUD on macOS Sonoma

*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l26R-dRrLZc Father Gregori & The Cart Ride are bugged in the last part of "We don't go to Ravenholm...", with the cart ride section being culled out until you enter it. ]

==Native ARM build from leaked source==
These instructions are based on guides written by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMuSXs0SF_g James Hug]. This method builds a native port for older Source engine games, such as Half-Life 2, its episodes, and Portal. '''TF2 AND LATER SOURCE GAMES WON'T WORK!!'''

Enter these commands into Terminal, Homebrew and Xcode Command Line Tools are required:

1. Install prerequisites from Homebrew and clone Repository (added the jpeg-turbo dependency from instructions):
<pre>
brew install sdl2 freetype2 fontconfig pkg-config opus libpng libedit python3 jpeg jpeg-turbo && brew cleanup
git clone --recursive https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine && cd source-engine
</pre>

2. Set pkg path:
<pre>
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/lib/pkgconfig"
</pre>

3. Configure, build and install the game into your Documents Folder:

<pre>python3 waf configure -T release --64bits --prefix='' --build-games=[game folder] && python3 waf build && python3 waf install --destdir='~/Documents/Build/[game folder]'
</pre>

Valid Game Folder Names:
*cstrike (Counter-Strike Source)
*episodic (Half-Life 2: Episode 1/2)
*hl1 (Half-Life: Source)
*hl2
*portal
*dod (Day of Defeat: Source)
*hl2mp (Half-Life 2: Deathmatch)

4. Open your Half-Life 2 Folder, and your game's subfolder. (Portal and/or Day of Defeat Source, if you're installing those games), Right-Click > "Browse local files". '''DO NOT MESS WITH THE HL2 FOLDER UNLESS YOU'RE ACTUALLY INSTALLING HL2'''!)

5. Modify Installation Files:
*Delete the root and game folder <code>"bin"</code> directories and <code>"hl2_osx"</code> executable
**Move your <code>"bin", "[game folder]/bin"</code> folders and <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> executable to your Half-Life 2 folder,
**and rename <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> to <code>"hl2_osx"</code>
Congratulations! You (hopefully) successfully built a working Native Source Port!

=== Suggested settings for the native version ===
Tested on Macbook Pro 16 2021 16 GB

1. '''Add launch parameters (Steam):'''
<code>-noborder -windowed -refresh 120 -autoexec</code>

This starts the game in the windowed borderless mode and limits FPS to 120.
Windowed borderless is needed to ignore the Macbook's notch (render the game under it). Otherwise the interface elements and aim are shifted incorrectly, potentially making the game less playable. Optionally, if you have EP2 installed and want to launch EP1 or base HL2 (or any other Half-Life 2 folder game), you can launch it by appending <code>-game [game subfolder name]</code>. If you'd like to play EP2 again, simply remove the <code>-game</code> parameter. '''Make sure NOT to share game "bin" folders or they WILL crash upon loading!'''

2. '''Add settings to autoexec.cfg'''

In <code>/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/hl2/cfg/autoexec.cfg</code>, add this:

//set the video mode to your display resolution (i.e. 1728x1117 - Default, 2056x1329 - More Space). Uncomment only the resolution you are using.
mat_setvideomode 1728 1117 1
//mat_setvideomode 2056 1329 1
// Forces the engine to load audio asynchronously. Removes audio micro-stuttering in some cases.
snd_async_fullyasync 1
snd_async_minsize 0
snd_noextraupdate 1
// Improve texture quality
mat_picmip -1
mat_antialias 4
mat_forceaniso 8
//BELOW: Enables software AA at maximum quality. Software AA works alongside normal AA, and helps to remove further
//aliasing, such as power lines. Little to no frame loss with this enabled.
mat_software_aa_quality 8

bind "/" "r_newflashlight 0; r_lod 0; r_maxdlights 128; r_shadowmaxrendered 1024; echo 'Graphics commands have been applied.'"
</pre>

This will make sure that the game will run at max settings. FPS will still be 120 almost everywhere except the places in the game that were buggy on the other platforms as well.

<code>r_newflashlight 0</code> - disables HL2 flashlight that is not working well (causes various artefacts when interacting with shadows). With this setting the game will use the still functional HL1 implementation of flashlight.

<code>r_lod 0</code> - always fully load all nearby objects (buildings, cars, etc.). Looks better as the objects will not switch their appearance suddenly when you approach them. There is little to none performance penalty on Mac with its SSD.

<code>r_maxdlights 128; r_shadowmaxrendered 1024;</code> - could potentially improve the look of the game, feel free to remove if you see no difference.

Binding these <code>r_*</code> settings command to <code>/</code> key is necessary, because the game will reset these settings while in the Main Menu.

'''You need to tap <code>/</code> key when you already loaded the save game. The settings then will stay enabled for the whole session (even if re-loading the saves), until you exit the game
'''

==Known bugs==

Using Prism Launcher, you can play any version of Minecraft natively from 1.6.4 to 1.18.2.

Assuming Homebrew is installed on your Mac, you can install Prism Launcher and openJDK 17 for versions 1.17 and later:
<pre>
brew upgrade && brew install prismlauncher && brew install openjdk@17 && brew cleanup
</pre>

For 1.6.4 - 1.16.5, download the Zulu 8 openJDK: https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-8-lts&os=macos&architecture=arm-64-bit&package=jdk#zulu

==Native ARM build from leaked source==
These instructions are based on guides written by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMuSXs0SF_g James Hug]. This method builds a native port for older Source engine games, such as Half-Life 2, its episodes, and Portal. '''TF2 AND LATER SOURCE GAMES WON'T WORK!!'''

Enter these commands into Terminal, Homebrew and Xcode Command Line Tools are required:

1. Install prerequisites from Homebrew and clone Repository (added the jpeg-turbo dependency from instructions):
<pre>
brew install sdl2 freetype2 fontconfig pkg-config opus libpng libedit python3 jpeg jpeg-turbo && brew cleanup
git clone --recursive https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine && cd source-engine
</pre>

2. Set pkg path:
<pre>
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/lib/pkgconfig"
</pre>

3. Configure, build and install the game into your Documents Folder:

<pre>python3 waf configure -T release --64bits --prefix='' --build-games=[game folder] && python3 waf build && python3 waf install --destdir='~/Documents/Build/[game folder]'
</pre>

Valid Game Folder Names:
*cstrike (Counter-Strike Source)
*episodic (Half-Life 2: Episode 1/2)
*hl1 (Half-Life: Source)
*hl2
*portal
*dod (Day of Defeat: Source)
*hl2mp (Half-Life 2: Deathmatch)

4. Open your Half-Life 2 Folder, and your game's subfolder. (Portal and/or Day of Defeat Source, if you're installing those games), Right-Click > "Browse local files". '''DO NOT MESS WITH THE HL2 FOLDER UNLESS YOU'RE ACTUALLY INSTALLING HL2'''!)

5. Modify Installation Files:
*Delete the root and game folder <code>"bin"</code> directories and <code>"hl2_osx"</code> executable
**Move your <code>"bin", "[game folder]/bin"</code> folders and <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> executable to your Half-Life 2 folder,
**and rename <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> to <code>"hl2_osx"</code>
Congratulations! You (hopefully) successfully built a working Native Source Port!

=== Suggested settings for the native version ===
Tested on Macbook Pro 16 2021 16 GB

1. '''Add launch parameters (Steam):'''
<code>-noborder -windowed -refresh 120 -autoexec</code>

This starts the game in the windowed borderless mode and limits FPS to 120.
Windowed borderless is needed to ignore the Macbook's notch (render the game under it). Otherwise the interface elements and aim are shifted incorrectly, potentially making the game less playable. Optionally, if you have EP2 installed and want to launch EP1 or base HL2 (or any other Half-Life 2 folder game), you can launch it by appending <code>-game [game subfolder name]</code>. If you'd like to play EP2 again, simply remove the <code>-game</code> parameter. '''Make sure NOT to share game "bin" folders or they WILL crash upon loading!'''

2. '''Add settings to autoexec.cfg'''

In <code>/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/hl2/cfg/autoexec.cfg</code>, add this:

<pre>
//set the video mode to your display resolution (i.e. 1728x1117 - Default, 2056x1329 - More Space). Uncomment only the resolution you are using.
mat_setvideomode 1728 1117 1
//mat_setvideomode 2056 1329 1
// Forces the engine to load audio asynchronously. Removes audio micro-stuttering in some cases.
snd_async_fullyasync 1
snd_async_minsize 0
snd_noextraupdate 1
// Improve texture quality
mat_picmip -1
mat_antialias 4
mat_forceaniso 8
//BELOW: Enables software AA at maximum quality. Software AA works alongside normal AA, and helps to remove further
//aliasing, such as power lines. Little to no frame loss with this enabled.
mat_software_aa_quality 8
mat_software_aa_strength 2
mat_software_aa_strength_vgui 2
mat_software_aa_blur_one_pixel_lines 0.5
mat_software_aa_edge_threshold .8
// Enables small motion blur with forward movement, feel free to remove
mat_motion_blur_forward_enabled 1
// Key binding to manually to enable some of the settings
bind "/" "r_newflashlight 0; r_lod 0; r_maxdlights 128; r_shadowmaxrendered 1024; echo 'Graphics commands have been applied.'"
</pre>

This will make sure that the game will run at max settings. FPS will still be 120 almost everywhere except the places in the game that were buggy on the other platforms as well.

<code>r_newflashlight 0</code> - disables HL2 flashlight that is not working well (causes various artefacts when interacting with shadows). With this setting the game will use the still functional HL1 implementation of flashlight.

<code>r_lod 0</code> - always fully load all nearby objects (buildings, cars, etc.). Looks better as the objects will not switch their appearance suddenly when you approach them. There is little to none performance penalty on Mac with its SSD.

<code>r_maxdlights 128; r_shadowmaxrendered 1024;</code> - could potentially improve the look of the game, feel free to remove if you see no difference.

Binding these <code>r_*</code> settings command to <code>/</code> key is necessary, because the game will reset these settings while in the Main Menu.

'''You need to tap <code>/</code> key when you already loaded the save game. The settings then will stay enabled for the whole session (even if re-loading the saves), until you exit the game
'''

==Known bugs==
- When playing with Airpods, the audio starts stuttering randomly. '''Fix:''' Mute and unmute the audio on the Macbook.

- Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Day of Defeat: Source show a black screen has no HUD on macOS Sonoma

**and rename <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> to <code>"hl2_osx"</code>
Congratulations! You (hopefully) successfully built a working Native Source Port!

=== Suggested settings for the native version ===
Tested on Macbook Pro 16 2021 16 GB

1. '''Add launch parameters (Steam):'''
<code>-noborder -windowed -refresh 120 -autoexec</code>

This starts the game in the windowed borderless mode and limits FPS to 120.
Windowed borderless is needed to ignore the Macbook's notch (render the game under it). Otherwise the interface elements and aim are shifted incorrectly, potentially making the game less playable. Optionally, if you have EP2 installed and want to launch EP1 or base HL2 (or any other Half-Life 2 folder game), you can launch it by appending <code>-game [game subfolder name]</code>. If you'd like to play EP2 again, simply remove the <code>-game</code> parameter. '''Make sure NOT to share game "bin" folders or they WILL crash upon loading!'''

2. '''Add settings to autoexec.cfg'''

In <code>/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/hl2/cfg/autoexec.cfg</code>, add this:

<pre>
//set the video mode to your display resolution (i.e. 1728x1117 - Default, 2056x1329 - More Space). Uncomment only the resolution you are using.
mat_setvideomode 1728 1117 1
//mat_setvideomode 2056 1329 1
// Forces the engine to load audio asynchronously. Removes audio micro-stuttering in some cases.
snd_async_fullyasync 1
snd_async_minsize 0
snd_noextraupdate 1
// Improve texture quality
mat_picmip -1
mat_antialias 4
mat_forceaniso 8
//BELOW: Enables software AA at maximum quality. Software AA works alongside normal AA, and helps to remove further
//aliasing, such as power lines. Little to no frame loss with this enabled.
mat_software_aa_quality 8
mat_software_aa_strength 2
mat_software_aa_strength_vgui 2
mat_software_aa_blur_one_pixel_lines 0.5
mat_software_aa_edge_threshold .8
// Enables small motion blur with forward movement, feel free to remove
mat_motion_blur_forward_enabled 1
// Key binding to manually to enable some of the settings
bind "/" "r_newflashlight 0; r_lod 0; r_maxdlights 128; r_shadowmaxrendered 1024; echo 'Graphics commands have been applied.'"
</pre>

This will make sure that the game will run at max settings. FPS will still be 120 almost everywhere except the places in the game that were buggy on the other platforms as well.

<code>r_newflashlight 0</code> - disables HL2 flashlight that is not working well (causes various artefacts when interacting with shadows). With this setting the game will use the still functional HL1 implementation of flashlight.

<code>r_lod 0</code> - always fully load all nearby objects (buildings, cars, etc.). Looks better as the objects will not switch their appearance suddenly when you approach them. There is little to none performance penalty on Mac with its SSD.

<code>r_maxdlights 128; r_shadowmaxrendered 1024;</code> - could potentially improve the look of the game, feel free to remove if you see no difference.

Binding these <code>r_*</code> settings command to <code>/</code> key is necessary, because the game will reset these settings while in the Main Menu.

'''You need to tap <code>/</code> key when you already loaded the save game. The settings then will stay enabled for the whole session (even if re-loading the saves), until you exit the game
'''

==Known bugs==
- When playing with Airpods, the audio starts stuttering randomly. '''Fix:''' Mute and unmute the audio on the Macbook.

- Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Day of Defeat: Source show a black screen has no HUD on macOS Sonoma

==Native ARM build from leaked source==
These instructions are based on guides written by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMuSXs0SF_g James Hug]. This method builds a native port for older Source engine games, such as Half-Life 2, its episodes, and Portal. '''TF2 AND LATER SOURCE GAMES WON'T WORK!!'''

Enter these commands into Terminal, Homebrew and Xcode Command Line Tools are required:

1. Install prerequisites from Homebrew and clone Repository (added the jpeg-turbo dependency from instructions):
<pre>
brew install sdl2 freetype2 fontconfig pkg-config opus libpng libedit python3 jpeg jpeg-turbo && brew cleanup
git clone --recursive https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine && cd source-engine
</pre>

2. Set pkg path:
<pre>
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/lib/pkgconfig"
</pre>

3. Configure, build and install the game into your Documents Folder:

<pre>python3 waf configure -T release --64bits --prefix='' --build-games=[game folder] && python3 waf build && python3 waf install --destdir='~/Documents/Build/[game folder]'
</pre>

Valid Game Folder Names:
*cstrike (Counter-Strike Source)
*episodic (Half-Life 2: Episode 1/2)
*hl1 (Half-Life: Source)
*hl2
*portal
*dod (Day of Defeat: Source)
*hl2mp (Half-Life 2: Deathmatch)

4. Open your Half-Life 2 Folder, and your game's subfolder. (Portal and/or Day of Defeat Source, if you're installing those games), Right-Click > "Browse local files". '''DO NOT MESS WITH THE HL2 FOLDER UNLESS YOU'RE ACTUALLY INSTALLING HL2'''!)

5. Modify Installation Files:
*Delete the root and game folder <code>"bin"</code> directories and <code>"hl2_osx"</code> executable
**Move your <code>"bin", "[game folder]/bin"</code> folders and <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> executable to your Half-Life 2 folder,
**and rename <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> to <code>"hl2_osx"</code>

**and rename <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> to <code>"hl2_osx"</code>
Congratulations! You (hopefully) successfully built a working Native Source Port!

=== Suggested settings for the native version ===
Tested on Macbook Pro 16 2021 16 GB

1. '''Add launch parameters (Steam):'''
<code>-noborder -windowed -refresh 120 -autoexec</code>

This starts the game in the windowed borderless mode and limits FPS to 120.
Windowed borderless is needed to ignore the Macbook's notch (render the game under it). Otherwise the interface elements and aim are shifted incorrectly, potentially making the game less playable. Optionally, if you have EP2 installed and want to launch EP1 or base HL2 (or any other Half-Life 2 folder game), you can launch it by appending <code>-game [game subfolder name]</code>. If you'd like to play EP2 again, simply remove the <code>-game</code> parameter. '''Make sure NOT to share game "bin" folders or they WILL crash upon loading!'''

2. '''Add settings to autoexec.cfg'''

In <code>/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/hl2/cfg/autoexec.cfg</code>, add this:

<pre>
//set the video mode to your display resolution (i.e. 1728x1117 - Default, 2056x1329 - More Space). Uncomment only the resolution you are using.
mat_setvideomode 1728 1117 1
//mat_setvideomode 2056 1329 1
// Forces the engine to load audio asynchronously. Removes audio micro-stuttering in some cases.
snd_async_fullyasync 1
snd_async_minsize 0
snd_noextraupdate 1
// Improve texture quality
mat_picmip -1
mat_antialias 4
mat_forceaniso 8
//BELOW: Enables software AA at maximum quality. Software AA works alongside normal AA, and helps to remove further
//aliasing, such as power lines. Little to no frame loss with this enabled.
mat_software_aa_quality 8
mat_software_aa_strength 2
mat_software_aa_strength_vgui 2
mat_software_aa_blur_one_pixel_lines 0.5
mat_software_aa_edge_threshold .8
// Enables small motion blur with forward movement, feel free to remove
mat_motion_blur_forward_enabled 1
// Key binding to manually to enable some of the settings
bind "/" "r_newflashlight 0; r_lod 0; r_maxdlights 128; r_shadowmaxrendered 1024; echo 'Graphics commands have been applied.'"
</pre>

This will make sure that the game will run at max settings. FPS will still be 120 almost everywhere except the places in the game that were buggy on the other platforms as well.

<code>r_newflashlight 0</code> - disables HL2 flashlight that is not working well (causes various artefacts when interacting with shadows). With this setting the game will use the still functional HL1 implementation of flashlight.

<code>r_lod 0</code> - always fully load all nearby objects (buildings, cars, etc.). Looks better as the objects will not switch their appearance suddenly when you approach them. There is little to none performance penalty on Mac with its SSD.

<code>r_maxdlights 128; r_shadowmaxrendered 1024;</code> - could potentially improve the look of the game, feel free to remove if you see no difference.

Binding these <code>r_*</code> settings command to <code>/</code> key is necessary, because the game will reset these settings while in the Main Menu.

'''You need to tap <code>/</code> key when you already loaded the save game. The settings then will stay enabled for the whole session (even if re-loading the saves), until you exit the game
'''

==Known bugs==
- When playing with Airpods, the audio starts stuttering randomly. '''Fix:''' Mute and unmute the audio on the Macbook.
- Counter-Strike: Source has no HUD on macOS Sonoma

==Native ARM build from leaked source==
These instructions are based on guides written by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMuSXs0SF_g James Hug]. This method builds a native port for older Source engine games, such as Half-Life 2, its episodes, and Portal. '''TF2 AND LATER SOURCE GAMES WON'T WORK!!'''

Enter these commands into Terminal, Homebrew and Xcode Command Line Tools are required:

1. Install prerequisites from Homebrew and clone Repository (added the jpeg-turbo dependency from instructions):
<pre>
brew install sdl2 freetype2 fontconfig pkg-config opus libpng libedit python3 jpeg jpeg-turbo && brew cleanup
git clone --recursive https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine && cd source-engine
</pre>

2. Set pkg path:
<pre>
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/lib/pkgconfig"
</pre>

3. Configure, build and install the game into your Documents Folder:

<code>python3 waf configure -T release --64bits --prefix='' --build-games=[game folder] && python3 waf build && python3 waf install --destdir='~/Documents/Build/[game folder]'</code>

Valid Game Folder Names:
*cstrike (Counter-Strike Source)
*episodic (Half-Life 2: Episode 1/2)
*hl1 (Half-Life: Source)
*hl2 (Half-Life 2),
*portal
*dod (Day of Defeat: Source)
*hl2mp (Half-Life 2: Deathmatch)

4. Open your Half-Life 2 Folder, and your game's subfolder. (Portal and/or Day of Defeat Source, if you're installing those games), Right-Click > "Browse local files". '''DO NOT MESS WITH THE HL2 FOLDER UNLESS YOU'RE ACTUALLY INSTALLING HL2'''!)

5. Modify Installation Files:
*Delete the root and game folder <code>"bin"</code> directories and <code>"hl2_osx"</code> executable
**Move your <code>"bin", "[game folder]/bin"</code> folders and <code>"hl2_launcher"</code> executable to your Half-Life 2 folder,
