Half Life 2 Patcher for ARM (Apple Silicon) Macs

This was written by me (because the manual process is sometimes complicated)

How to use

Requirements: Python

As no other modules are being used, you only need the release-osx file

Download it via the release tab.

Change permission by using

chmod +x release-osx

Run it via

./release-osx

Then, follow the instructions on the terminal.

The program will patch, after you gave it the Half Life 2 path, the game automatically.

You can then play Half Life 2 over steam now on your ARM Mac.

Non interaction mode without patching

To only build the patch, run

./release-osx --debug

You can find the build at source-engine/hl2

Use in other projects

You can use the modules in different projects, like patching different games.
