Can't open black mesa anymore
I installed this and followed the directions and now for some reason, I can't open black mesa anymore. It told me to go to readme.txt and that doesn't even exist and now I have a error everytime I open the game.

I know that error and I also know for fact it cannot happen if you installed this mod correctly. Go to your custom folder, create folder with any name, move folder called materials under it, move folder called models under it, move folder called scripts under it. That bug happens when you try to paste folder with specific names (like materials, models or scripts) straight inside custom folder instead of putting then under their own folder within custom folder. You clearly didnt follow instructions properly.

Could you add this to the original installation post? I had the same issue and I was close to asking the same question until I luckily found this post, it's likely others will have the same issue, and it'll prevent this from being asked further down the line

Allow me to quote the instructions:

- Go to steamapps\workshop\content\362890\2668159678
- Copy all contents of that folder to steamapps/common/Black Mesa/bms/custom

This clearly says to go in the location where this mod is downloaded and copy ALL contents of that folder to custom folder. It already says everything needed.

Yeah but what I'm saying is that I did exactly what you said, I copied all the contents of that folder, to the custom folder, and I got an error preventing me loading the game, until I made a separate folder inside said custom folder as said here by yourself in this exact thread earlier:

I'm just suggesting you add that to the original instructions, cause I hadn't seen that in the original instructions.

Instructions were to copy what was inside folder steamapps\workshop\content\362890\2668159678 NOT what was inside folder steamapps\workshop\content\362890\2668159678\1_BMCERevised.

And I wont be putting that second part in there, I was only trying to tell how to do it in Layman's terms.
