I am looking to create a USB sized css version for use in college. Somebody has already provided us with one, but there are loads of textures missing and it is the bare minimum.
I have extracted my own copy to be a standalone but even then it is 3.5gb (altho my usb is 4gb...i wont have much room for work especially web dev)
In an attempt to get it small enough for most peep's usbs i have compressed in .rar best compression. Its now down to 1.5gb
yay
But wait...it takes a fair while to temp extract and run even on my pc...imagine it on college ones
GAH
Anyway to make the temp extaction quicker? Or perhaps a better way of making it smaller. The HL2 files are pretty big..
Idea: Perhaps compress only the HL2 files (the biggest bulk) and leave the rest uncompressed?
It is a complete legal extraction of my personally owned files off steam
