Failed To Initialize Authentication Interface Half Life

Install Visual Studio (2010, 2012, 2013 or 2015) (you are required to create a free account)Note: The Half-Life SDK available on Github was built using Visual Studio 2010 so it will run out of the box with that version. Newer versions require that the Solutions be converted to work with these newer versions of the IDE. The IDE will tell you when it performs this conversion.Download the Half-Life SDK from Valve’s Github repository, You can place and extract the downloaded ZIP anywhere you like.Note: For those using Visual Studio 2015 changes to the C Library have caused many warnings in. Community member has created a which compiles for Visual Studio 2015.

Chicken Fortress 3 Alpha 1 Full released file - Meta Renderer mod for Half-Life. And when I try to use ckf3.exe it says 'Failed to initialize authentication interface. CS version is 68736 (I think) Running Windows 10. Wish I could give more info but I don't know what else you could use. Reply Good karma Bad karma +1 vote.

I would suggest using it until Valve makes changes to support Visual Studio 2015 in the official repository.Mine is located here. C:Projectshalflife-masterprojectsvs2010projects.slnNote: You may see the following if you are using a version of Visual Studio newer than 2010 Simply click OK and let it work.

This is the conversion process I noted earlier.I also suggest you change the color scheme to Dark to make viewing and editing the code easier. This can be done from Tools Options Environment General and setting Color Theme to DarkTo the right hand side of the IDE note the Solution Explorer which should have 6 projects included:The one of interest to us is hldll as highlighted in bold ( Bold highlighting indicates that it is the start-up project )If it is not highlighted in bold simply right click on it an Select Set as StartUp Project.We need to make some changes to hldll’s properties. To access these simply right click and select Properties.Firstly let’s change Configuration in the top left corner to “All Configurations”. This means that changes we make to the properties page will propagate through all project configurations in this case both Debug and Release.Then we should turn off the post Build process which can be disabled by setting Use In Build to No in Configuration Properties Build Events Post-Build Event ( This command when it works correctly would have copied the complied DLL to the Mod directory, simply put for the scope of this tutorial we do not need it )Next we must Change under Configuration Properties - General the Output Directory from. Release Binaries:Build your binaries in release mode when you are making a final binary to distribute to friends or the community. To do this simply right click on the project, select Properties - Configuration Manager (Top Right). In the window that appears select Release from the Top-Left drop down box.

This sets the active configuration to Release as opposed to Debug which is the default setting. Close the window and compile the project again.This will create a Release folder next to your Debug folder in the solution (code) directory.

If you set your settings to affect all configurations as described earlier the newly compiled dll will have copied to the correct mod folder.When compared to the Debug binaries the Release binaries are typically smaller in size and contain optimizations to improve performance at runtime. I want to extend my thanks to who provided some very helpful advice which I added to the tutorial.I want to thank for his Visual Studio 2015 compatible version of the Half-Life SDK which I am sure many of you will find useful.And finally I want to thank you the reader who took the time to read this, I hope this short tutorial helps you in some small way. If you find any issues or if you know of anything this tutorial should include please feel free to send an onto me concerning it.The support thread for this tutorial can be found over at the.

Now that's what I call a good written tutorial. Excellent work.Off topic:Btw. In regards of coding you and everyone else that qualifies should help out this guy:If you do have a neck for coding and seeing issues others don't help him. He is enhancing Half-Life beyond everything I've seen to date.

Fixing so many glitches Valve & Gearbox left etc. It's unbelievable. He is some sort of coding genius to give you a simple example. He is the 1st person ever in the History of Hl1 who successfully recreated the Op4 Rope.

That was something of a holy grail for the hl1 coders. There are still plenty of issues to find in his code enhancements.

Help him on the bug hunt if he succeeds Spirit Half-Life will be a trash can in comparison.+4 votes. @Foxtrop: As far as I know you can. His intend is it to enhance Half-Life and then releasing what he has as some sort of Spirit like enhanced free to use build. However if I were you. I would wait not just for the rope but for all of his fixes.

For instance there were also many enhancements he made for the weapons. Apparently some of them didn't even play their proper animations code wise.

So things we barely or never saw before are suddenly fixed. Not to mention new additions to the engine such as velocity when you jump onto moving objects or op4 monster replica which are identical in their behavior and visuals to the original op4 etc.It would be even better if you play test his builds and report bugs so he can fix em. We all will benefit from his work. Yes this entire remaining community would benefit, I'm sure of it.:)I strongly suggest you read through the entire discussion Foxtrop. Unlike you I'm not a coder but even I find it extremely interesting what he is writing there.As for the Rope you just can't copy and paste it as he changed the code. He uses Anglescript and a whole lot of new references.

He practically re-codes Half-Life based upon the limitations of the engine itself of course.+3 votes. Excellent tutorial, well written and easy to digest. A small side-note I wish to add however about Debug mode, is that it causes small sprites to appear above AI's heads.Its just worth noting that for anyone who has compiled their code and wonders whypeople are emitting sparks.

Had this happen to me once and forgot it was due toDebug mode. Needless to say I was worried for a bit.I only tested this on SDK2.3 converted to VS2008 but I assume it still applies to the modern source code release.+2 votes. Nevermind, I got visual studio 2013 now and I followed all steps exactly but I got these errors and it won't build:1C:Program Files (x86)MSBuildMicrosoft.Cppv4.0V120Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(364,5): warning MSB8004: Output Directory does not end with a trailing slash.

I was messing with the video options in Blue Shift. I turned up the resolution and it crashed. When i started it back up it ran in software instead of OpenGL and the colors went to 16 bit. I tried making it 32 bit and it crashed then none of the Half Life 1 anthology games such as TF, Dod, opposing Force, HL1, and of course Blue shift will not work.The error that comes up when i try to start it is.

Fatal Error Failed to initialize authentication interface. OKI tried copying someone elses config file, it didnt work. Then i uninstalled all hl1 games by deleting local content. Still they dont work.
