I started playing Half-Life on my computer a few weeks ago when I bought Half-Life: Complete. I didn't realize that Half-Life: Source was an improved remove of Half-Life and I want to switch.

Can I import my Half-Life save file into Half-Life: Source?

  • Have you tried copying your savegame over?

  • No; do you think they it would be compatible?

    It's not really improved over gldsrc Half Life. Just that enemies ragdoll so you can blow them up with your crowbar anymore, it's kind of worse.

    Honestly, you're probably better off waiting for Black Mesa Source's Steam release or at least the "final" version of the free version (iirc it's missing the end of the game at this point).

No - unfortunately not. The Gold SRC engine used in Half Life and the Source engine used in Half Life: Source are completely different engines with no save game compatibility.

    Strictly speaking, it should be possible to have a program that converts between the two formats, the issue is the complexity if the formats are very different in design.
