I don't think you have to play with the SteamAppId; I didn't have to.
Check around the Valve Developer Wiki and it will tell you how to enable 3d maps for backgrounds (so you can disable them in your case) and replace it with a normal 2d background. Giedrius T. wrote:
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi. I want my mod to be multiplayer, but it uses a lot of stuff from HL2 gcf, not hl2dm gcf. So I have chosen to "modify hl2dm". And when I have set SteamAppId to 220, the menu is no longer that hl2dm background picture, it loads a 3d background, just like in the original HL2. So I have extracted background01.vmt from hl2dm gcf, but it only shows that picture while it's loading the 3d thing, which I don't want to have it. I have seen that GMOD specifies steamappid 220, but still has it's own logo, and it doesn't even load the 3d background. Can anyone help me on how to fix that? -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
