I think the beta client is also needed. But going from memory! I never tried it.
I spent a bit of time digging around the list archives earlier today to interpret exactly what "beta client" entails. At first I thought it was extra parameters to starting hl2/css but you actually need to throw "-beta srcds0407" at steam.exe itself, and not just your hl2/css startup parameters. For example, here is how I had to start up steam to get the beta client going: C:\Steam\Steam.exe -beta srcds0407 It worked perfectly for me after that and I am thoroughly stoked about preventing texture/model hackers on my server as soon as this update goes live! Of course, we're still scrambling around figuring out what to do about the imminent demise of Mani but that's another topic for another thread... Hope this helps some others like myself who felt like noobs not knowing how to run your Steam client in beta! ;) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
