Custom Menu Art for Your Mod -
"Half-Life contains a lot of text in it, and it's my belief that all of it can be changed using the strings.lst file. Unfortunately, Valve has not provided us with a complete strings.lst file, so we'll only be able to rely of examples gives from Gearbox's Opposing Force and Counter-Strike.
"The strings.lst file will contain new lines to text that will be added into your menu. How it works is, you will tell it which line to change and then next to that line you will give the new text that will be replacing it.
"Here's an example: Where the original Half-Life had a string that said:
236 "Are you sure you want to quit Half-Life?"
Gearbox added a new line into Opposing Force that says:
236 "You going AWOL on me, son?""

Modifier l'interface du mod @ Half-Life Design
"Tout d'abord il faut vous rendre à la racine où ce trouvent tout les bmp de l'interface, c'est à dire pour valve: ..\valve\gfx\shell. Ensuite créez un fichier qui se nomme "strings.lst". Utiliser pour cela le bloc- notes. A l'interieur écrivez ceci:
189 "Votre Texte"
190 "Votre Texte"
191 "Votre Texte"

Ensuite faite "enregistrer sous" et taper strings.lst
Chaque numéros correspond avec un bouton de l'interface."
