anyway to spawn in the garden gnome in original half-life 2?

[Kazo]

Curious since now that the games merged the gnome should be in the half-life 2 files.

In the console: sv_cheats 1 then prop_physics_create props_junk/gnome.mdl;ent_setname gnome

Seems to work fine in Episode 1 + Half Life 2

So I think that the command does work, however Hl2 doesn't have the model unless you subscribe to a gnome model replacement mod. It's not perfect (it won't be a gnome) but it should work if you enable a gnome model replacement such as this one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3368539081&searchtext=gnome

*Edit: Just disabled all my mods and it didn't work, then just enabled that mod and it seemed to work

Working on a fix, will post something soon

This works without typing set sv_cheats 1!
That may be the issue some are having.
Edit: Just type "prop_physics_create props_junk/gnome.mdl;ent_setname gnome"

It seems like the command does work, but only if using a model replacement. Working on a fix that should allow the gnome to stay a gnome

Sorry. I misunderstood that the Op wants to spawn the gnome in the base game before Ep1.

Just uploaded a mod, should allow you to use the gnome model in Hl2 and Ep1 :D

Remember to use prop_physics_create props_junk/gnome.mdl;ent_setname gnome

They way assets work in HL2 + episodes is like this:

-HL2 can only access HL2 assets.
-Episode 1 can access HL2 and Episode 1 assets.
-Episode 2 can access HL2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 assets.

So yeah, without adding it with a mod the gnome model doesn't exist for hl2 or ep1.

Makes sense. From Hl2 and Ep1 perspective, you will never encounter the gnome so it would be useless to load the model and just take up resources
