We don't have a system available for mods right now. During a beta period you could hijack the steam.inf file in hl2/ (copy it to your mods directory) and enter your own name and version in their. Any servers you run won't be listed on the master servers and will also have console text saying they are out of date, but clients serverbrowsers while in game will only show servers with the same version as the client.
As part of our Steam3 work we will be touching the master server system, we can add a mod versioning capability at that time. - Alfred Garry Newman wrote: > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > I tend to change the game description if it's a small update and hope > that > people realise that's the reason they can't join old version servers > (the > different class tables error message doesn't help them understand). > > Some kind of version system would be awesome though - but I can see > why they > didn't add it (Steam). > > Maybe they'll eventually allow us to automatically update our mods > and it > will all become moot. > > > On 1/16/06, Aaron Schiff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> -- >> [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >> nothing has been done in the browser to check versions...don't >> attempt anything >> >> On 1/15/06, Charles Solar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> >>> -- >>> [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >>> I just put the version number in the game type.
