And now, an excerpt from the wiki page at http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VGUI_Screen_Creation
"VGUI screens do *not* work in HL2 or HL2:DM; they crash the game" Does this mean that mods based strictly on HL2:Ep1 are SOL, as far as VGUI screens are concerned? Would a working solution involve switching all the code I have for my game to Orange Box? Please let me know what you think. -Corey On Sat, Mar 7, 2009 at 12:18 PM, Corey Elizabeth Brennan < [email protected]> wrote: > Ah, I wasn't using Orange Box.
