Have u even tried it?

I made it myself and it works fine for me, but feel free to not use it...

I released the source code so if you don't trust me, check the code and build it yourself.

@ Hijack
No I havent tried it as I only have the retail version of the game and dont have the Steam hl2.exe! I was merely taking 'ente' word for it! But for now I will give you the benefit of the doubt and edit my previous post to something more appropriate! For now anyway until someone confirms it!

[hijack]

I included hl2.exe in the package

[Grumpy]

Your readme says to put three files in the directory or is the hijack_hl2.exe actually the steams exe?

[hijack]

Put the three files in your steam directory and run hijack_hl2.exe. It'll run your normal steam.exe and modify it while it's running.
You don't have to overwrite any file to install it.

Ok done that so i will just disable my internet to make sure its not connecting to steam! Then i will come back and verify if it worked.

[hijack]

It WILL and MUST connect to steam!

This is not a crack, it'll only allow you to play the game without the CD in the drive. Nothing more!

Just a nocd, as explained on the web page.
