So yesterday I started playing Half-Life (It was on sell for I think $3 in late November and I finally got a chance to play it a bit.)

First, thing I hated was the reversal of how running and walking was. So, I found this fix on it's Steam community page.

A Solution to the Ridiculous Running Speed? So I bought HL:S for my MacBook Pro. Aside from the annoying (glitch?) thing with the HD models not having any reload sounds, I just have to ask… why in the world is the running speed so damn high? I literally can't get past the box room in 'Unforseen Consequences' beacuse everytime I land on a box I either twitch and fly off frontwards or accidentally twitch and fall backwards. It's frustrating.

I remember the original Half-Life having an option to turn 'Always Run' off, but it seems when they ported the Half-Life 2 menus over to Half-Life through source that option was left out. In this state, without a controller, it is unplayable for me and I feel like I wasted $4. That sucks because I love this game (though I've never beaten it because I suck).

Is there any current workaround for Mac? I've seen some solutions that involve editing the userconfig.cfg file, but so far I haven't been able to locate it in Finder.

Mijo Jul 8, 2014 @ 12:18pm Half life (the original) doesn´t have a “always run” toggle either. As you already said, you'll need to edit the config file to alter the “walk” key (usually shift) behaviour. You'll need these lines on the cfg file to revert shift function (run while pressed, instead of the opposite):

+speed
bind SHIFT +holdrun
alias +holdrun -speed
alias -holdrun +speed

I also recommend you add these lines:

alias "runon" "-speed;alias togglerun runoff"
alias "runoff" "+speed;alias togglerun runon"
runoff
bind CAPSLOCK_togglerun
togglerun
