You'll want to switch over to using these for getting the path to where they have the product installed, as it'll be much more accurate. -----Original Message----- From: Pat Magnan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] CS Retail support > wondering if people know what needs doing to a mod to support CS retail. > We're busily testing our mod out with a handful of beta testers, some of whom run CS Retail. Apart from the general things like providing all the needed content that differs between CS Retail's PAK and the valve/PAK0.PAK (which isn't an issue, if all our models are our own), the only issue I ran into was with the installer. Unfortunately, I'm at work and don't have the installSheild version I need to look at it, but the normal registry keys that you need to check for Halflife, won't find CS retail. There's a couple different keys to that you have to query to get the path to CS Retail/Halflife. Depending on whether you'll eventually be replacing the stuff in the Halflife PAK in the future or not, you might just want to pull the missing artwork from the PAK0.PAK and put it into your mod's dir now. That means one installer for CS Retail and Halflife. At least we've managed to get away with one until now ;) If someone else can't come up with the registry keys here in a day or two, send me an email, and I'll send you the specifics.
