i am having issues with the goldsrc, i cant get the scripts to work, and i dont know what im doing wrong! can someone help?

can you be more specific? Exactly what version are you using, what scripts are you trying, how are you trying them?

i was trying to get scripts to work for the normal half life folder,( the one that doesnt have WON in the name) and i experimented with different things. such as putting new text documents in the script folder, and putting them in there, or just control c v ing them into the userconfig. but nothing worked.

and i was trying the ones on sourceruns

why not in the WON folder? that's where the scripts should be, as far as I know, if you're playing the WON version. Any files in the valve_WON folder (at least that's the name in goldsrc package 1.36) will supersede files in the valve folder.

i got the steam version, and i dont fully understand what the won is

WON stands for World Opponent Network. It's the recommended way to speedrun half-life. I'm not super clear on all the differences either. But you should download one of the packages in the resources on this site and play that. There's a lot in the resources if you dig in.

oh okay thanks
