using the lpatch files is really a joke.
- save them on the hard disk
- download lpatch from
http://aluigi.org/mytoolz/lpatch.zip- double-click on lpatch.exe
- select the first file.lpatch you want to use (for example hlboomfix.lpatch)
- select the swds.dll file you want to fix
- you should see a "success" message
that's all :)
I have zero experience with half-life so the only thing I can do personally is suggesting to apply those 2 patches you see on my website, maybe someone else has something to add.
