Video codecs are not the part of Xash3D, they have to be presenting or installed in Windows (regarding sierra.avi & valve.avi they are encoded with Cinepak codec, which is more likely has to be one of default Windows codecs, otherwise you have to install it manually).įor complete authentic WON menu look (black background with animated logo) you have to install Xash3D Extras and remove 'background' folder from valve\resource (it contains Steam HL background images and prevents to load the classic menu).
The engine will play videos at startup if only developer's mode (-dev) is NOT used. When prompted to overwrite, select No to all. Copy/paste the valve folder from your Steam/CD installation to USB:/xash/valve. Extract the XASH3D zip to the root of your USB drive. It will NOT work with Xash3D FWGS version (the video support is broken there currently). If you don't own Half-Life, buy it on Steam. This will work only with original Xash3D Engine by Unkle Mike, on Windows. These video files are the add-on for Steam Half-Life users of Xash3D, because Steam version of the game does not support and does not include videos from WON (CD) version of the game.
