Note that this loaded and played the Tram ride fine, but then I was stuck in the Tram once it stopped at sector C :(

I'm pretty sure you could adapt this to work with other Source games as the base, but I use half life 2 (in other words install that first)

Well, it works. But like you said, scripted sequences mostly fail and most of the AI characters are missing. I tried other levels using changelevel.
If we had the Source SDK Base 2007 on OS X it would probably run fine.

I also tried running the mod on top of other games (Episode One and Two, HL2:DM).

Just downloaded black mesa for windows and placed bms folder inside steam half life 2 folder.

Created bms.sh

It is trying to load and even show blurred main menu background but then crash.

With your script It cant even try to start at all stopping at

figure out the absolute path to the script being run a bit

non-obvious, the ${0%/*} pulls the path out of $0, cd's into the

specified directory, then uses $PWD to figure out where that

directory lives - and all this in a subshell, so we don't affect

$PWD
