That simply isn't true. If another user of the computer owns HL2 then the GCFs will be there, and I expect most of them will be there if the HL2 demo is installed too.
Requiring HL2 to be installed makes your whole effort redundant anyway! It's already on Source 2009 (though evidently not exactly the same version since it won't mount GCFs). --- On Wed, 21/7/10, Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen <hlcod...@maxsi.dk> wrote: > From: Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen <hlcod...@maxsi.dk> > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Alien Swarm > To: "Tom Edwards" <t_edwa...@btinternet.com> > Date: Wednesday, 21 July, 2010, 16:11 > On 2010-07-21 17:06, Tom Edwards > wrote: > > You're on trecharous legal ground here.
