Looks like there is a possible conflict between "gearbox" and "valve" (an
inconsistency anyway).
"valve" is the basic, un-modded game type for HL.
Looking at the "steam" update program, if you list the parameters:
-------
/steam -xxx
WARNING: unrecognized parameter '-xxx'
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Use: steam -command <command> [parameters] [flags]
Commands:
create: Create a Steam Account
parameters:
-username <username> - Username of Steam account
(case-insensitive)
-email <email> - Email address
-password <password> - Password for the account (case-sensitive)
-question <question> - Password reminder question
-answer <answer> - Password reminder secret answer
(case-sensitive)
For example: steam -command create -username foobar -email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-password pasSwoRd -question "cat's name?" -answer Gordo
update: Install or update HLDS
parameters:
-game <game> - Mod name: cstrike, tfc, dod, dmc, valve,
czero, or ricochet
-dir <installdir> - HLDS Install dir
-username <username> - Steam username
-password <password> - Password
(if username, password, or dir not specified, will use value from
last run of tool)
flags:
-remember_password - Remember Steam password so is not needed
next time
-verify_all - Verify all HLDS files are up to date
-retry - Automatically retry every 30 seconds if
the Steam Network is busy
For example: steam -command update -game cstrike -dir /hlds -username
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -password pasSwoRd -remember_password
version: View installed versions
list: View available games
Optional parameters for all commands:
-------
But if you try:
-------
steam -command list
Checking bootstrapper version ...
** 'game' options for Source DS Install:
"Counter-Strike Source"
** 'game' options for HL1 DS Install:
"cstrike"
"czero"
"dmc"
"dod"
"gearbox"
"ricochet"
"tfc"
-------
For "game", one has gearbox listed and the other has valve listed.
The hlds_run script uses "valve" as the default but it does not list any
game types, including "gearbox". It allows "gearbox" as an install option
(also allows "valve" but doesn't list it).
I can run:
/steam -command update -game valve -dir . -username $STEAMUSER -password
$STEAMPASSWD -verify_all
This just appears to verify the contents of the existing "valve" directory.
I can also run:
/steam -command update -game gearbox -dir . -username $STEAMUSER -password
$STEAMPASSWD -verify_all
The gearbox version generates a new directory "gearbox" with maps and
stuff, like the "cstrike" directory for Counter-Strike. Make sure that you
have downloaded all of the game files for the gearbox mod type.
Hope that helps.
