There's a hardcoded list of gamedir to app id mappings checked by the engine's GetGameAppID function, defaulting to 70. This appears to get used when running a dedicated server (or launching the client from outside of Steam) to regenerate the steam_appid.txt before initializing the Steam API.
You probably need to just hex-edit the GetGameAppID function in your copy to just always return your app id. -- Nicholas Hastings AlliedMods.net <http://www.alliedmods.net> > Platon <mailto:starp...@gmail.com> > Sunday, November 5, 2017 4:56 AM > Hello HL Coders and Valve, > > My modification is being released on Steam and now it has its own appid.
