Half Life 1 cheat codes not working

Ok, for nostalgia reasons, I'm playing Half Life 1. I enabled console, but can't get cheat codes to work. None of the "give" commands seem to have any effect. HELP!

 

my only suggestion is to play without cheats. the game deserves it.

 

Agreed. Is this your first time through HL1? If so, using cheats on such a phenomenal game is sacrilege.

 

Hmmm...the fact that he says "for nostalgia reasons" makes me think he's already played through and now he's reminiscing...all teary-eyed and sobbing...

Unfortunately, it's been far too long since I played HL1, so I can't offer much help, nitsuj.

 

Man! What a bunch of purists we have here! You guys act like I asked about putting ketchup on a steak or something. Yes, I've played before. Yes it is a great game. Yes, it does deserve to be played without cheats. But I just installed it and it's been about 3-4 years since I last played it. I always thought it was too far into the game before you got the crossbow. I like the **** crossbow. I want the crossbow. I'm not trying to play in god mode or anything, I just want that stupid crossbow!

 

"I just want that stupid crossbow! "

lol

 

Well I Guess Crossbow Is That Far In The Game For A Reason

 

Yeah yeah. I know, I'm a jerk for wanting to cheat. Anyone got an answer? I promise not to do it, I just want to know how.

 

Half Life

Cheatmode:
----------
Start Half-Life using "hl.exe -console".
You may do this by modifying the windows shortcut
properties for Half-Life and adding "-console" to
the end of the "Target" (or file to run).

The /GIVE command works if you start the game with
the -dev -console parameter, and that the God mode
cheat and map change cheat only work with the -console
parameter.

This will let you access the console using "~" key.

You may have to type "sv_cheats 1" in console first.
The following commands are available in console:

/fly - flying mode
/GOD - god mode.
/NOCLIP - walk through walls/fly.
IMPULSE 101 - Give all weapons and ammo.
/MAP xxxx - go to map xxxx. Map names are of the format c#a#,
(c1a1, c2a1, etc).
See the map list for names of all levels.
/GIVE xxxx - give item xxxx. The following items are available:

item_airtank
item_antidote
